I miss Soul Train so much!!! Saturday nights from 3:00 am to 4:00 am are not the same. A couple of friends and I would call each other and watch The Best of Soul Train together! It was so much fun! While watching the show we’d wonder what the dancers are doing and how they would look today. We could identify and relate to the show beause we were teenagers in the 70′s and never stop watching the show until it stop airing recently. It almost time for a 40th reunion in 2010 so please get moving and get the show back on television. Thank you Mr. Cornelius for being a wonderful host for so many years.

I am so happy to read this. I MISS SOUL TRAIN. The Best of Soul Train archived shows were fun to watch for awhile, but I’m really sick of them now. The guys dance so queenie and the girls are dressed like they are going to church. I started watched Soul Train when I was a kid (in the 70′s) and have seen it change through the years. One of the things I didn’t like about the latest shows was just how little you got to see the people dance versus them having their artists for the week sing. They really didn’t need three artists per week — they could have cut it to two and played more chart music or music vids. The other thing that was crappy was how they had all these women lined up dancing like they were in cages on top of a bar and so very few couples. If you were a dude looking for big booties and hooters, you would have loved the show, but if you were a chick or a ***** dude, it got boring watching the same chicks slide their hands up and down their sides and flick their hair back. They needed to get more dude dancers with those washboard abs — and have them DANCE — all the guys ever seem to do are those mechanical movements — you never saw them dance. And the quality of the chicks they have dancing went way downhill as time went on to. That Tracy chick with the gap in the teeth you could drive a Mac truck through was looking worse and worse as time went on. And the asian chick with the hair down to her knees got really old watching too. I think they just need to incorporate some of the old stuff in their new shows and play some decent music and the show would be a hit. They gotta remember that they probably have a majority female viewing audience and start showing more hot dudes. And that last host, Dorian Gregory was awful — bring back Shemar or find someone cuter. And spend as much time showing the dudes in the Soul Train Line as you do the chicks — some chicks would have the camera on them for 30 seconds, and the dudes were lucky to get about 5 seconds. Not everyone is interested in boobs and ass.

There’s a new book out about the show, called A CRITICAL HISTORY OF SOUL TRAIN ON TELEVISION. It looks at the show from its start in Chicago in 1970 to the national franchise of 2008. It contains interviews with former dancers, guests, and colleagues of Cornelius.
