How come...
 

...there were never really any fat people on Soul Train?

Because most fat people can't move like Rerun.

Apparently you didn't notice Don Cornelius' girth as he hosted the later episodes! :rolleyes:

Noticed at about 1:08 (the slo-mo dancing couple), I detected the face of the male partner, Jeffrey Daniels, a Soul Train regular who eventually joined up with the then-disco group "Shalamar". Not in the video, but Jody Whatley was the female vocalist for the same group, and was also a Soul Train regular.

weird show

1977?

Bring on the cocaine!! :cool:

I enjoyed the show.

I lived outside the cable viewing area and few Black artists on the radio except for the mainstream stuff. Didn't live around many black people either, so I was socially stunted when I did try to fit in the culture.

Watched Soul Train to gather up the latest dance moves...didn't matter though...by the time I was of age to hit the clubs, disco was pretty well entrenched...

I loved that show, I used to watch it every Saturday...once upon a time, when gas was 25 cents a gallon.
