Soul Train 1974

[HispanicImpression]

There is no better dancing going on anywhere in the universe than at the soultrain.

[uhmugud]

This is quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen.

[jerseygunner821]

On 2:05....that dude had the "OH U MAD CAUSE IAM STYLING ON YOU" walk

[MsKittenz1]

These are our parents and grandparents now hahahahahahaha .

[byoldschool]

1:35 ahahahh! That guy got PUNCHED! hahahah

[HispanicImpression]

@byoldschool And he didn't care, because it was in the groove :D ...

[action31000]

They sho don't make clothes like these anymore.

[Tiny1bme]

@action31000 some of these clothes have recycled for women, but for the men they haven't because the young men today dress extremely sloppy and most look nasty. The only thing young men attract today with their clothes is probably other young men an knats.

[grefix]

Seems subliminal messaging was already used then! 'Johnos's afro sheen. The larges-selling products in the "Natural" World' at 0:04

[AdeolaANDMichelle]

.I feel like human beings were just a completely different specoes back then. Everything was brighter, more vibrant, fun, and uplifting. Things like this never exist anymore seems like culture is slightly colder and robotic. I wish I was 20 back then instead of being 20 now

[MeredithWaters]

I remember this as a little kid growing up in the 70s. Everything seemed to getting better. Nowadays, the clothes are much better, and people look prettier, but the music went straight DOWNhill.

[rayamanelly]

Man these people could not dance for shit.

[skerryred]

[SunnyLovetts]

These people should be praising Christ not dancing around to nothing.
