Rick apparently didn't like Don Cornelius all that much. lol Hence why his reactions to Don were like " bored2 ". lol

His first appearance was in late 1978 I believe. Then he appeared later in '79 with Teena Marie for her debut. Then the 1980 performance. And I believe the show had a tribute episode for Rick, I guess, to honor his impact in the few short years of his success. I believe it was in 1981.

S.O.S was putting it down on this episode. This was their horn based

sound before Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis gave them a more polished

R&B sound.

The way he kept the crowd going fter the song was over - true Soul Train moment. To those who think Rick James wasn't popular in the 80s - there's your proof. I've never seen that happen for that long on Soul Train before. The crowd LOVED Rick.

Yeah, you could tell the crowd loved Rick and Don hated that. The only other time I saw a crowd get happy like that on Soul Train was when Vanity was on there.

They got all crazy when James Brown and Marvin Gaye were on there. You should've seen how the girls were swooning when Marvin lipped "Sexual Healing" on there. They were all like love . lol

They were pretty excited over Al Green's appearance back in the 70s, too. A few performers have incited excitement; that's one thing. I have never seen the crowd go on that long after the song was over That was my point. They were in the Rick zone and would have chewed Don's ass out if he tried to stop them.

It was also funny when Rick intimidated Don with his "junk" lol

That show aired yesterday, that's one of the few times I've known Cornelious (usually a reserved man) to gush over an artist.

Yeah back in 06 or 07 when "Best Of Soul Trian" was on UPN. This was one of the episodes I made sure I taped!

2 other show moments were with Mary Wilson of The Supremes who i think is the only one who got Don to join her with dancing in the Soul Train Line,

and an interview with funk group Aurra. Starleana really had an "aura" of sensuality when she performed and Mack Don told her "i'll see you backstage", lol.
