Soul Train Line Dance to Glady's Knight & The Pips.MP4

[PREZ150]

We was thinner back than we didn't have all these fast food joints in hood like they have today.We had little mom and pop stores that sold 2 ham burgers 25 cents and french fries in a iceie cup with a tooth pick to eat with.And as kid you better hope your moms gave you 25 cents or you better pack bags a t Key Food.We ate more at home than fast food.When we saw McDonald's was on a commercial on a black and white TV.There was sure no Micky D's,Burger King black neighborhoods then.

[darkebony]

@PREZ150 Thats just how it was you sure said it! and most of the kids didnt even have money for fast food then.They went home and ate what they could and was happy.It seems like we just were better people at that time,you cant make these kids happy no matter what you do today.we also didnt have too much soda then we had kool aid with a pound of sugar added, it had to be enough for everybody.

[entertainme3000]

Guy at 1:47 really knows how to throw down!

[supermandisco]

Chick at :37 got the moves! Dance girlfriend, make those moves with that blue and white. Jam, baby.

[2tonsolid]

black pride right here!

thanx don for the hippest trip in america!

[jdpatterson100]

let me get my BlowOut kit....RIP DON& thanks..

[sirjcmr1978]

@tom11zz84 so true...people were way more active and fit back then vs now. You couldn't pay a 21 year old nowadays to do a split or half of these moves. A Shame

[utzworld]

Classic. R.I.P. Don Cornelius

[anderso84]

Woman at 2:13 is definitely not wearing a bra...

[DaikFlowkes]

[dcdogg999]

"sistas with clothes on"

[MsCargento]

SOUL TRAIN HAD THE BEST DANCERS!!!!!!! I LOVE TO WATCH....

[ccth22]

How soulful is this and how cool is Don...must have been a cool time to be in Los Angeles.

[frenchwistiti]

there are people present on this video are on YouTube? I wonder how they lived then! I find them fantastic;-)

[Hauraunah]

Wow! Those couples didn't play! I couldn't do that hip thing if I tried and they did it like it was nothing.

[tom11zz884]

Dude @ 1:30 thought he was superman or something...lol

That said, he was in far better shape than most of our youth today.....SMH.

[MrEnchendoosaco]

people should  enjoy these moments throughout life until 90 years

[simron67]

[crazyhumble]

[theslabbxxx]

Gladys Knight..what a voice...so Soulful. Truely the empress of Soul as they use to call her.

[kikaki74]

[theiceman74]

[1975Antar]

Wooowwwww......our grandpas knew how to move it

[eaglevis1]

they were all much thinner in those days also. And bet they had 2 parent families in tact.

[MsValencia77]

Real music

[beebs116]

@hitomusic - I'm a bit surprised you think these people were born in 1960... I was thinking more like 1955-1958. Children by 1980... who could easily have children by now, even if small. According to the ever trusty Wikipedia, the average generation length in the US in 2008 was 25 years (up 3.6 years since 1970). But I will defer to your absolute certainty on the subject and just continue to enjoy their funk, however old they are now :)

[portugu3sh]

1:30 WTF?!

[Tchalla77]

@portugu3sh That's the great Don Campbell creator of locking; doing his legendary trademark 'swan dive'. Also featured here are fellow Locker members Adolfo 'Shabba Doo' Quinones (0.43), and the late great Greg 'Campbellock Jr' Pope RIP (0.55)...dancing with a whole lotta SOUL, of which will never be equalled!

[beebs116]

@hitomusic - I don't know exactly what year in the 70s this clip is from but I think it's reasonable to assume that many of these guys are grandparents by now (they'd be at least in their 50s, if not their 60s, and it would not have been the usual practice back then to wait until your 30s to have children).

[hitomusic]

@beebs116 According to you, if you were born in 1960(for example) you would have had to have your first child at 25. Your child would be born in 1985. If THEY became parents in 2010, also at 25, that would make the 1960-born become a grandparent at exactly 50. That means that BOTH would have had to had their first child at no more than 25! You've got a different generation mixed up with OURS(1955-65 born)! - You mean OUR parents didn't wait to 25-30 to have children. Most of US did!

[schellwardee]

LOL, I think this one is my favorite. Every next dancer trying to out do the previous dancer....how high can you jump and land on your face, or bottom. And the moves. ROTFLMFAO....classic shit!

[Shaylashay]

It looks like ya'll had so much back in the 70's (I was born in 88). Dances now arent that fun, everything is about grindin and practically sexin on the dance floor SMH. My ppor generation.

[da1073]

@Shaylashay I agree. Back then, this was very sexy without being overtly sexual

[hilarybanksdiva]

@Shaylashay A lost generation. This is the only time in history when black ppl actually liked themselves. That's why Reagen had to put crack in our communities to stop the self-love.

[hitomusic]

The lady 1:04 to 1:09 - she was movin to it in a so right-on way.

[collegegal79]

this is great

[sandhilldiva]

yes folks this is how your grandparents looked,danced...pretty cool

[hitomusic]

@sandhilldiva GRANDparents?! I don't know of too many 45-54yr. old GRANDparents! There are those who ARE but most folks in this generation are still only PARENTS!! (Just count it out - usually you are about 61 before you become a GRANDparent! ) Usually - not always, but your kids would have to start having kids pretty young to be a grandparent at 50!

[BlkAngel1746]

Love how the first guy started off slow and then went hard....and the second guy was just a little to wiggly for me.lol

[MsTexas73]

@BlkAngel1746 Looks like that's James Phillips...he was a good dancer with certain ladies...esp Pat Davis.

[fritzgorsedd]

fine soul ladies

[tw8willia76]

If black people can't do nothing else, we can dance godammit LMAO

[macksun]

wow homeboy at 1:28 can really pop lock.. funky!!

[MsTexas73]

@macksun He's one of the Lockers. Looks like Don Campbell...He started it all.

[MsTexas73]

@MsTexas73 Actually, it looks more like Greg Pope.

[TheScorpio333]

That's right. no bras in the 70s!

[supermandisco]

Talkin' bout dad.
