The Best of Soul Train 9-8-07  Due to a Chicago Cubs game on the early channel and a Degrassi: The Next Generation marathon on the late channel, this week's Soul Train episode broadcasts at 2am in this market. 
Check back later...much later. 
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Artificial Heart - Cherrelle Dial My Number - Pauli Carman Performance: Jermaine Stewart - We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off Unfortunately, for some reason my DVR stopped recording 18 minutes into the broadcast... 
I'm guessing it was during the time Dish Network starts downloading updates. Hopefully this won't occur during the 1:30am broadcast i've got programmed.

I turned on the TV today and got pissed when I saw that damn ballgame on. Once again, play the damn ballgames when "American Idol" is scheduled!
It comes on my local channel at 11:30 p.m. tonight. I'm at work and not sure if I will be home by then so I have my VCR set. It's a late 80s episode so there's a chance it might be a bunch of bullshit. If it's good, I'll record it on a DVD. If it's not, I'll record over the tape. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I saw it last night at 11:30 p.m. on our local channel. Jermaine Stewart performed "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off". For a crossover pop song, Jermaine turned it out with his dance moves. His hair looked great too. It was straight (his hair was the only thing straight on him ), it was soft, and he was slinging it. Don said that Jermaine had danced on the orginal "Soul Train" when it aired in black and white back in 1971 and was a local show in Chicago. I didn't know Jermaine was that old. Jermaine also said he was a former backup singer for Shalamar for three years. I didn't know that either. The second song he performed on the show was great (for the late 80s that is).
Juicy was a disappointment. The song they performed, I had never heard before but it was decent. They didn't perform the song that everyone remembers called "Sugar Free". The SOS Band performed "The Finest" and "Borrowed Love". The performance was decent for two of my less favorite songs by them. They seemed to be more caught up in the late 80s sound. I like their previous work much better. The songs for the dancers were the typical late 80s decent ones but nothing great. What can I say it was the crossover era. Hell, they even played Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love" for the dancers. All the dancers kept doing The Snake throughout the show which has got to be one of the most worn out dances ever. Apparently they filmed the dancers segments over two nights because all the dancers would have one particular set of clothes on in one section of the show, different clothes on later, and the same old clothes on after that. At one point Louie had on his white shorts with his jacket open exposing his hairy chest and treasure trail. That part had me dripping and is probably the only reason I'm going to save the episode.
Once again, they need to go back to the 70s or early 80s because, overall, it was one of the typical late 80s episodes which means "so-so". There was a bright side though, at least they didn't play anything by Shitney Houston. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Okay episode, I wonder if Don will show any episodes from even later in the 80's. | |

I agree, jermaine's hair was nice and the only thing straight, but he still got off(!) hahaha. Juicy did the b side to the twelve inch of juicy, which I love the song a lot. but like you said they should have done sugar free. Bad boy wouldn't have been a bad one to do if they could have done a second song.I guess they didn't know the success of Juicy. Jermaine died around 1996, not too long after the grammies. I got a small interview of him with some of the original soul train dancers, including damita jo. the songs were good, the line was great, lou was funny. looking at him was like looking at nothing but hat and coat. The S O S band memebers have really changed a lot! I didn't notice that. yeah jimmy and terry was on a roll with the similar style of music they were promoting not only with this band but wit cherrele, and so on. I was hoping to hear just be good to me. that dark skinned guy who over exagerates his dance steps can really dance. I am thinking this show was around 1984 nipsy | |

This episode was ok. I thought Jermaine Stewart was the best thing about it.
But the BIGGEST kicker, and I'm surprised no one caught on or has mentioned it so far was, the guitarist for Juicy was none other than Prince's Mike Scott. He was younger but it was him. When he said his name during Don's Interview it clicked. Anyway, I had no idea he had been around that long. [Edited 9/17/07 12:11pm] I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

Jermaine Stewart could've passed for Ms. Jay from ANTM from the way he was slinging that hair... | |

If it were 1984, things would have been a little funkier. Jermaine Stewart would have been doing "The Word Is Out" and The SOS Band would have been doing "Just The Way You Like It". "Just Be Good To Me" was released in 1982. The SOS Band performing that song in 1982 would be great.....if Don would just go back. Andy is a four letter word. | |

A lot of the ladies became stiff during the late 1980s. They danced more like they were on "American Bandstand" rather than "Soul Train". I can see why though because the music was all pop sounding. It's kinda hard to dance all "black" when the music coming from the speakers is pop sounding.
There were better songs in the late 80s than the ones played on "Soul Train". Don started choosing more pop sounding songs because he was trying to gain a larger white audience. The local dance show in my area, "Black Gold", was much better, especially when the late 80s got here. They were playing much harder and "blacker" jams like "That's It (Don't Stop)" by The Bronner Brothers, "They're Playing Our Song" by Trinere, "You're So Fine" by Egyptian Lover, "I Want Your Body" by Madame X, etc. The local dancers still had rhythm too. We put California to shame when it came to dancing and funk. Of course, "Soul Train" had a whole nation to please.....don't forget, places like Idoho or Montana are part of the nation also.
