This is slowly replacing Up on Soul Train as the second best theme song of this show. If this doesn't move ya, you're dead.

This is probably my least favorite ST theme song.

My favorite one is "Up On Soul Train"

Next Fav is "Soul Train's A Comin"

Then TSOP.

Then the last one George Duke did (which is a TSOP remix/remake)

Then this one.

Well that's hard to argue since Soul Train themes were just too damn good.

I hated the theme they had right before they went off the air. But I guess it fit right in with what the show had become...."The Shit Hop Train from Hell".

Damn! I forgot about that one. Yeah, that's the worst one.

"T.S.O.P" by MFSB is the best theme song

Soul Train Gang's Gerald Brown, before Howard

You know, I watched Soul Train pretty regularly as a kid, I can't remember this theme song. I must have flipped on the channel right after the beginning or something. I hated this version at first, but now I love it. It's the cheesiest version, but it's fun to bop to.

Yeah for a duration of the song it is cheesy BUT when you get to the last bit when they THROW DOWN!!!

I thought the 80's themes were by O'Bryan, The Whispers, & Howard Hewitt. I think there was one by Heavy D later, but don't remember as I didn't watch the show much at that point.

Nah Heavy D never contributed to a Soul Train theme. I know Naughty By Nature did.

To be honest, the most overlooked ST theme of all time was the original one: the "Hot Potatoes" instrumental by King Curtis that ran for the first year and a half of the show (1971-1973).

That must be it. I know it was a rap theme. Wasn't there a guy named Mystro (or something like that) hosting the show then?

when i stopped regularly watching, the TSOP one was still being used... but it was being used very briefly. they'd never play a lot of the song in the intro.

that's right! i forgot ms. song was in both 'beat it' and 'super freak'!!! and i love that everybody knows her as 'the asian lady with the long hair'... she's got that special title. and damita jo freeman is amazing! thanks for posting all that information! soul train had some great people...

Yeah I'm sure the ST affocionados are real familiar with it but the public surely isn't. Most think the only theme the show had was TSOP (which was originally titled Soul Train '73) lol
