[geeweev]

I love this Soul Train Theme, brings me back to younger days waking up on Saturday Mornings..great post DC RIP

[shawnwiggidy]

had to find this song...all ways remember hearing this version of the soul train songs...R.I.P. Mr Don Cornelius...we wish you wut you all wished us...Love, Peace and Sooooouuul!!!!

[Soulthinker2007]

I've watched Soul Train since almost the beginning and this theme is one of my faves. When Don Cornelius died I think of that theme and many others. He was a pioneer whose show is more than a black American Bandstand,he broke the box.

[DaveWollenberg]

RIP, Don Cornelius. We wish you love, peace, and, SOULLLL! RIP, Brother Don!

[drakethatsafact]

If this doesn't get you movin'. Nothing will. I love it.

[TonyKanameKuran]

Rest in Peace, Love, and Soul... DON CORNELIUS - 1936-2012

[romeroenrique]

RIP DON CORNELIUS...

[Nanadsyl]

I cant believe there arent any live performances of O'Bryan. Where is he now? Unsung should get in touch with this brother!

[Blktxdom2004]

@Nanadsyl Check on Wikipedia. He does music still...but is keeping low-key. (IMHO)

[ninahhhdreams]

THIS SONG WAS MY FAVORITE BY O'BRYAN!!!! WAS SO HAAAAARD! This needs to be played in a club with all its bass!! I havent heard this in YEEEAAAAARS!! Thank you crad80!!!!!

[tdmoses73]

i like it when the train moved to the beat of the music

[MrWhoBanger]

been watching soul train since its first started banging bumpin.. the soul train coming is better than all..others...

[7777czar]

anybody know how to fix a skipping record ? my needle/record are excellent condition though !

[vabeachtiff]

i can't decide btwn ST Gang theme 76, tsop, up on soul train by the whispers, this o'bryan version, or the one with howard hewett

[arleighasdad]

SkeeterVT, gotta correct you on one thing....you forgot about the Whispers...Up on Soul Train....that was the one before O'Bryan...

[arleighasdad]

oh no...this is the version right here...the original version before it was recut...this one is 100 times better...

[uzipolo]

@arleighasdad there are 3 versions of this but this the best

[SkeeterVT]

This was the third of "Soul Train's" three most memorable theme songs -- the other two being the Soul Train Gang's "Soul Train '75" theme from 1975-77 and, of course, MFSB's "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)," 

[MsTexas73]

@SkeeterVT ST 75 (aka "Get on That Soul Train") only went one season 75-76...for the 76-77 season we got ST 76 (aka "Get On Board")...which lasted for two seasons until 1978...I liked that one too plus the three you mentioned, and also Hot Potato from seasons 1 and 2 and "Up on Soul Train" by the Whispers.

=====HIPPEST TRIP IN AMERICA---

[1nuy4sh4l0v3r]

love this song

[GmagazineNOW]

My favorite "Soul Train" theme song by far.

[doctafonk101]

hotdamn

[TSquared2001]

The second version is BETTER

[11kful]

I play this track every Saturday @ 12 pm. Reminding me of my childhood. We would do our Saturday chores fast, so we could watch who was gonna be on uninterrupted. The whole fam would watch for diffferent..reasons. My pops would watch the fine ladies dancing wit his boyz.....A mental pic that never gets old.

[shugashuga2011]

this is always gona be the best soul train theme made

[leeloo1967]

I remember this...OMG!!! That is the best Soul Train theme ever!!!

[ecw231]

@leeloo1967 yep i know and old school it's where it's at!!

[Sethrod8]

@leeloo1967 Mos Deff I bump this i the morning when im getting dressed for work 

[sheelag1]

Yes im almost 40, and i let my 14 and 5 year old hear this song,and now the know the words to i better then me, really funny to hear them sing it lol

[unibchillin]

This rocks!

[kheir03]

OW!-OW!-OWWWWWWWWWW!

[tmac2759]

Where is this man! I haven't seen him since 1983 down south

[Kapp2007]

Yeah, this was for sure the Soul Train theme in the early 80's, and I still think the best one...sure the MFSB track "The Sound of Philadeplhia" was a 70's disco/soul classic, but this track really brings the FUNK, main- for sure O'Bryan's funkiest achievement on wax

[tension1906]

Y'all don't understand! As far as I'm concerned, this was the SOUL TRAIN THEME song for me! I was born in the mid 70's. By the time I was old enough to watch ST to appreciate it, this was the theme, around '84.

[sukiwashington79]

oooh if i cud relive those days..sukilynn79@yahoo.com

[sukiwashington79]

oooh if i cud relive those days..

[kellyslk43]

I can't believe it . I loved his style his music was just great and your right the music today is crap . This brought back a lot of memories

[TheAithWONDER]

Funky synthesizer!

[cartunetto]

Sounds like Howard Hewitt, from Shalamar...i even thought it was him...

[Shalady74]

@cartunetto  Howard Hewitt did the Soul Train theme in 1987 to 1993 with Gerorge Duke.

[BreeSoSeksi]

That's right this was one theme song of Soul Train.

[qr11k]

"Soul Train, the hippest trip in America with guest stars Michael Jackson, Musical

Youth,and the Soul Train Dancers. And now here's your host Don Cornelius."

"Hello and welcome aboard the big train. We'll have a song from Duran Duran

right after these very important messages.

[jwjh1269]

i think this was the best Sould Train theme

[SkateDiva1]

this one right here....OMG this one is it...I gotta skate to this

[monmo2007]

I agree. The dopest Soul Train Theme ever!!! Then George Duke's version of the Sound of Philadelphia.

[pimpminn]

Funky

[enmaxus]

[Donisha1982]

That bass line is sick!

[biffstudd]

Love those O'Bryan Intro themes. Pure smooth funk!

[mixmaster676]

tjhis was a sweet beat,obryan was the man!!!

[nchoney3]

this makes me wanna get dow. heck, all the soul train songs make me wanna get down, where is this in my era? uh, oh thats right, no where to be found because my era has been fucked over with lady gaga and rap that sucks. so im stuck listening to the awesome oldies, when i grow up im a bring back funk, and other people need to as well so we can keep this heritage alive and not let it die out with todays music.

[lvn4life]

Why the hell do I remember the words to this one? lol

[erbefi]

That bass line is f'n sic!

[sweetspicy009]

This is one of my favorite theme songs for Soul Train.

[GoldenStateWarrior51]

THIS IZ MY SHIIIIIT! LISTEN TO THAT BASSLINE. GREASY JERRY CURL FUNK

[719kai719]

Didn't Karyn White start out singing with OBryan?

[charlestonchewy]

@719kai719 I don't think so. I know she used to work with Jeff Lorber back in the days.

[rarebreed681]

Where can i get a download of this track? Itunes and Napster don't carry this.

[obryanation]

We have a direct line to O'Bryan! Any questions you want answered with clarity and truth? Send here!

[amarvinwinansfan]

I like this theme and the Whispers them for ST also!

[rockjohnson80]

"Soul Train!!!! The hippest trip in America...with guest stars Whodini, Freddie Jackson, Rick James and the Soul Train Dancers. Here is your host Don Corneileus!!!"- Announcer

[amarvinwinansfan]

@rockjohnson80 LOL

[Jimeejam41]

This Was The JAM in the EARLY 80'S Back in Ohio back in the Day !!!

[Kell1295]

Uh huh! <3

[michaeljacsoncrazy]

[1Deehoney]

This the best soul train theme the other themes really sucked compared to this one. This is the jam!

[FABIANCORNER]

LETS GO

[NewJackDayJay]

LOVE THE BASS! Da-Da-Da-Da-Da!

Does anyone know where one can get the extended version of Soul Train's A' Comin - the non remix version?

[Elijapayn]

@NewJackDayJay i'm going to upload it

[klp6ft6]

The train in the intro was poppin on 'da money with the bass drum & remember@12:00 noon when the sun used to shine through the window as this jam was comin on?priceless baebae.

[sesomdt]

@klp6ft6 music sucks these days. it's hard to find somebody who can touch this type of funk.

[klp6ft6]

@sesomdt you got that right

[Contessais4u]

This song made "SOUL TRAIN" Without it, it was just a bunch of people dancing! I hope that O'Bryan got paid for it! (Don't start rumors) I love him and his music!!!!

[Cameo5150]

This is My Favorite Soul Train Theme

[asialou]

The BEST theme!!!

[kristyconrad1963]

This is My Favorite Soul Train Theme! I modeled my look in high school after O'Bryan and got plenty of play! --He was a hybrid of Michael Jackson and Prince

[biffstudd]

I wonder why the album version doesn't have that keyboard intro on it.

[derriffany]

Oooooooooooh this is still the joint, this is one of thos you dont hear that often, this takes me allllll the way back!

[crazydaysful]

This song is jammin. What happened to O'Bryan - he had some jamming songs!

[sheshewawa]

Soul Train is not the same without this theme song!!

[marchingbandfanatic]

yeah this was a jam that should have got more airplay.this came out in 1983 and was the theme 4 soul train from 1983 to 1986. it is also off the you and i album on capital records. don corneius wrote this track and mostly every song o' bryan has made. i'm a music fanatic in case ya'll don't see.

[realfunk69]

SUPERBE!!!! Thanks.

[tdmoses73]

i like the remix. he added the guitar and bass.

[AithWONDER]

Extremely Funky Bass line. How can one NOT dance off this?

[asialou]

This is crazy, I remember running downstairs to our 27 inch box Zenith tv on Sat morning soon as I heard this song come on and get my boogie on to ST! lol...ahhh memories!

[Elijapayn]

Love this then the remix

[JMDogg]

This is the version of STAC that debuted midway thru the '82-'83 season. At the start of the '83-'84 season, this song was remixed.

[asialou]

@JMDogg my fav version by far!

[oholm08]

i love my childhood 80s baby

[sesomdt]

the guitar and bass are not as pronounced in this mix as in the remix heard on "soul train"

[aconater]

How many of you remember that O'Bryan was a protege' of Don Cornelius he was given credit as executive producer on his first album, anyway I miss the those days now most of us are in our 40's and T.V. and music today is plain crap peace everyone.

[taterkimmet]

I agree with you.

[nickfreshalive]

Don C. was given executive producer titles for all four of OB's capitol LPs.

[sesomdt]

@aconater i do

[alohawg]

@aconater Thank you, music today is a joke.

[blackadam06]

@aconater

Amen..

[MzMJM35]

@aconater - Yes I remember and I am in my 40s. Have to admit I miss those days as well.

[bowwow73]

This got to be the best version of the theme

[djseriousbizness]

This bassline is so sick but it just ain't complete without hearing the dude say Sooooouuuullllllllll Traaiinn!

[teaspanic]

i love this theme song too thanks 4 posting. always thought it was howard hewitt of shalamar.

[letsfunktonight805]

Oh yeah!!! This LP version is much better than the 12" version. Another one of my favs!!!!!

[ROGERTROUTMAN1]

Do you FEEL this sh!t NIAGARA?? SMOKE SOMETHING PLEASE!!!

[BluIceGirl1920]

I like this version better than the remix.

[BluIceGirl1920]

Theme song, excuse me.

[BluIceGirl1920]

I tell you that Saturday morning is NOT the same without Soul Train. This was my favorite them song of them all!

[qman2000]

[Kell1295]

[rellish7]

[3811iberis]

[Tropics777]

I respect all the musicianship that went into all the other themes but, O' BRYAN'S SOUL TRAIN THEME IS THE FUNKIEST !!! I grew up listening to O'Bryan & still love him ! Extremely talented Artist !!
