Prince doing New Jack This one definitely slipped by me. artists had to play the game. The only one that I can think of who I don't recall doing New Jack was Freddie Jackson. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. All the old school
I think it's a good song,but it sounds like most of the music that was being played on R&B radio during that time.Which means it probably would have been a big hit back then.
It's odd that Prince waited until 1994 before finally appearing on Soul Train | |

There needs to be a movie about Soul Train.Throughout the years,I have heard about plans for some kind of film.One idea is to make a movie about the Soul Trains dancers.Another idea is to make it a biopic about Don Cornelius' life.

There's already a show called "American Soul", executive produced by Tony Cornelius and there's suppose to be a Broadway musical which would be produced by ?uestLove |

***fun fact——Gino Vanelli was the first White artist to perform on Soul Train.He performed his hit “People Gotta Move” in 1974.A year later,Elton John and then David Bowie also performed on the show. | |

American Soul has been good so far, I hope they do a third season soon | |

Hard to believe,but there are a few major soul/funk bands that never appeared on Soul Train.
Earth Wind and Fire as well as Parliament/Funkadelic never appeared on Soul Train

It sure has. My boy Basie Skanks came over from Greenleaf and bought his dirt over to American Soul. My favorite episode was the episode with Darius McCrary playing James Brown and Big Boi playing George Clinton. Don't laugh at my funk

Watched more for the dancers than the guest artist sometimes. Time keeps on slipping into the future...
This moment is all there is... |

Wow! I wonder why? When you think of 70s Funk those two bands were the leaders of the pack. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Wow! I wonder why? When you think of 70s Funk those two bands were the leaders of the pack. Indeed,but I wonder…how could all those members of P-Funk fit on that small stage?  it might have been hard to do.In the early days of Soul Train,a few artists performed live.But after awhile,Don insisted that the performers lip-sync and I think that may be why EW&F and Parliament/Funkadelic chose not to perform. | |

I just wish Don was still here with us to enjoy the show's Golden anniversary, he gave R&B music a face on TV
