On this date in 1974 {Mar. 2nd} "TSOP {The Sound of Philadelphia" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; on April 20th it would peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} and spent 18 weeks in the Top 100...
Ranked 23rd on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1968 chart...
This is amazing...Loved the great ole school music...You would think so called artists nowadays would be embarassed as hell going on stage with no talent! Thanks for the great upload!
Don Cornelius(RIP). Thank you Don for creating a show where artists could showcase their talent & I could enjoy watching them perform & watch all the good dancing too. Your work will never be forgotten. #The Hippest Trip Around #A Stone Cold Gas Baby #I Wish You Love Peae & soul Baby !!! My deepest condolence go out the fasmily & friends.
Don Cornelius, thanks for making me understand and enjoy soul music. I remember meeting you on 58th and 5ave, in NYC. You was with your wife, and enjoying the night on 5ave, smoking a cigar.... Thanks my brother! Oldschool DJ!
back then we just wanted to dance and have fun. No we didn't have the PROFANITY that we have now as well as some of the mean faces with attitudes and baggage to match.
IN SINCERE APPRECIATION AND IN MEMORIAL TO THE GREATEST CREATOR, THE FATHER OF "SOUL TRAIN", AN Original "American treasure" Mr. Don Cornelius! Good night Mr. Cornelius, thou good and faithful servant, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest on the soul train line, give rest to your servant, now who has fallen asleep. LOVE PEACE AND SOUL FOREVER AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!!! THANK YOU!!
yes!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME im right back there in my flares brogues penny shirt and im dancin spinnin ffs wht cant records be as good as this these days wow
I am so glad that my parents introduced me to songs like these. Honestly the songs back then are better. I mean most songs today are based on old songs
THE SSOOUUUULLLL TTTRRRAAIINNNN! THE SOUL TRAIN 1971-72 US. MARINES CALIFORNIA. BEST TIMES EVER--IF YOU LIVED AT THAT TIME YOU KNOW WHAT IAM TALKIN ABOUT. AND MUHAMMAD ALI--TOP OF THE WORLD!
This is awesome and this song was ahead of it's time. I got to listen to it after searching out samples of house music. It's great being able to find the roots of the songs I enjoy and end up really liking the music. I love disco for two reasons. My mom's old records, and the club music I grew up listening to.
ANOTHER GREAT SONG FROM THE SUMMER OF 1974 (A GREAT YEAR OF MUSIC)ALONG WITH THE 3 DEGREES "YEAR OF DECISION" - WAS ANOTHER OF THOSE SONGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TOP10 HIT BUT ONLY MADE IT TO THE LATTER PART OF THGE TOP 30.
Soul Train, Soul Train! This is the Original Soul Train Theme Song. Well not "the" original - but The most popular and most remembered. "As Always In Parting - We Wish You Love, Peace & Soooooooul!
@funkg68 OK, now that's funny. GOOD sense of humor. I used to watch the show just to see what the girls were wearing. Best in the 70's and 80's. Don Cornelious (sp?) was so put together, I don't think he could move at all in those pressed-to-the-teeth clothes he wore.
todays music is power marketed by specialists; the artiste is just part of the package, and doesn't have a clue about todays volatile music market and is forced to compromise his natural creativity for quick return on the buck of the fat-cat producer.
Nobody is interested in developing an artiste anymore, like Berry Gordy.
The biggest mistake Don Cornelius Ever did not allowing this to be named Soul Train!,.The original name given toit..What a jerk.! This Sound is sound orgasm...
This was our psyche song prior to Flyer games vs Boston in the 1974 Stanley Cup Final. Being almost totally surrounded with arrogant Bruin fans, the Stanley Cup triumph was especially sweet.
@pcroyaljets I'm 43 now but remember that as well! although I'm Canadian and my loyalty is to my "Habs" We could have won this year..but our guy's were smaller and took a pounding by Philly and Chicago..but at least the cup went to an original 6 team eh. exspansion blows!
