They could re-air these episodes in 2025 and I’d be in front of the tv every Saturday morning watching like I used to back in the day.

I am white and I was 15 years old when soul train came on the television for the first time. My father punished me for watching it, and I was grounded for two weeks in addition to having to do a lot of extra chores. Crazy.😳

This is NOT the very first episode. The first episode was in Chicago, on August 17, 1970!! I know because I was there. This may have been the first in L.A.

Don Cornelius was the man. He was the hippest, best dressed, mover and shaker from corner to corner. Rest well trailblazer.

Ohhhh, the nostalgia! Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever be on TV like this again. From the type of show, to the commercials: they are now part of history/our-story. 6.28.2025, 1506 PDT

Is it me or did anybody else realize that the first performance is the same sound as Mary Mary’s heaven song ?
