Gino
Average White Band
Elton
David

(I think it was in this order, not too sure tho...)

I heard Wham! made an appearance too.....


And George Michael after he became solo. In fact, sometime around 1994, Soul Train showed the intro to feature acts from the past and I think George was in there somewhere...

Oh that's no excuse. David Bowie was THE first white man on Soul Train.

No he wasn't. There's a misreport about it being Tower of Power, but that is in correct too. Gino Vannelli toured as the opening act for Stevie Wonder, was the first white artist to appear on Soul Train. To that point, a lot of radio listeners thought Gino was black, until he appeared on Soul Train. David Bowie came soon after.


Year,Gino appeared on Soul Train in 1974,performing his hit "People Gotta Move".This was a year before Elton John appeared.

This was mentioned in the ST documentary on VH1. That's where I learned Gino was the 1st non-black person to appear as an artist on ST.

It wasn't weird to us though, when we were there. It was just the status quo. Look at clothes just 10 or 15 years ago. We'd never wear that stuff again, perhaps.

Try eBay. You might very well find a used copy, or even one that's never been played.
