I Believe This Was A Video Clip From The 33rd Edition Of "Soul Train" On September 23, 1972.

[KRU78]

unsubbed, thanks for wasting my time.

[schmoop14]

@ladyvee7110 No, I won't be buying the DVDs. Cool and nostalgic as these are, I have enough media I don't get a chance to watch. I just find it amusing/amazing/disheartening that there's a sense of entitlement that a business should give us their product of value for free. None of us would do the jobs for which we're paid for free. Same principle -- trying to get paid to pay the rent.

[ladyvee7110]

@schmoop14 ... I'm entitled to full, free videos on YouTube. The end...lol. :-P

[MyPATKA3AX]

dfh

[mrjohncraigjr]

[allwedoissell]

Allllll yeah!

[doggy1boy]

[devolvedcouk]

They've cut all the vids down, you can't play them from your own profile ...

Guess SoulTrain is now "The Man" lol.

fail, unsub'd

[divafix]

i love this song.

[sp20122009]

this is some bullshit. used to be able to watch the entire video. i most definitely will not be purchasing DVDs. i thought it was peace, love -- and soul -- not peace, love, soul, and white man's capitalism. this some shit, really. way to turn off loyal fans.

[onlygoddessonearth]

That ain't right. Less than 40 seconds could never satisfy an O'Jays fiend, man.

[subtexthiphop]

UNSUBSCRIBE!!! YOU SUCK, 30 second promo clips for a DVD cloggin up my homepage, thanks for nothing!!! Bad marketing, I will never buy this DVD EVAAERRR!!!

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

I wish you play the WHOLE performance, I love Backstabbers, one of my fave O'Jays' songs .

[hoosierarcher]

Just a tease and a commercial? Y'all used to play the whole song. But I know what I'm putting on my Christmas list this year.

[xxXPunkRockAngelXxx]

cool

[MegaG15]

Love this track from OJAYS!

[ladyvee7110]

Oh great...now the Soul Train folks are going to keep putting these little teaser video snippets up for now on? Ok what? I have to buy the DVD now?

I might unsubscribe because this is getting annoying.

[schmoop14]

@ladyvee7110 Welcome to the land of Grow Up, people. What, you think you have some right to the Soul Train content for nothing? Yes, that's right, they discovered there's a market for this stuff and decided to make a buck off of it. Just like they discovered there was a market for a funk & soul music dance show (with SERIOUS dancers, unlike Bandstand), made it into an iconic syndicated hit and made more than a few bucks off of it. Same stuff, different decade, bully for them

[ladyvee7110]

@schmoop14 Who are you? Don Cornelius? Soul Train shouldn't have a channel on YouTube to advertise DVDs. YouTube is a place where we can watch complete musical performances for free. If they want to advertise their product, they need to do it on TV like everybody else. But I bet you that costs them money so they advertise here for free. I guess that's what happens in the Land of Grow Up. LOL!

[schmoop14]

@ladyvee7110 Hmmm, let's see....use a place where I can get free advertising that remains available 27/7/365.25 or pay TV rates for 30 seconds that will appear at one specific time, when people who might want to buy my product aren't even watching, and then disappear. Boy, tough choice.

One thing several other bros. & sistahs I work with noticed long ago -- too often, our businesses DON'T take advantage of free advertising/publicity, while white buisness jump on it.

[ladyvee7110]

@schmoop14 ...You alone are the only one on here cosigning with the greed but you're entitled to your opinion. I've unsubscribed. I won't be buying the DVDs either but I'm sure you will. I'll just watch other people's Soul Train videos that way I can see the whole performance. Thanks for the dialog.

[crossbronx63]

@ladyvee7110 No joke. This is why people bootleg. 

[schmoop14]

@crossbronx63 Oh, bootleg...you mean steal. Because that's what it is.

And, no, I'm not Don Cornelius. But I do work in the media, legally buy and sell media and know how much bootlegging costs even small niche media companies.

[MultiplicityMe]

@ladyvee7110 Everybody is greedy for money.

[PLoCzi]

OJAYS LIVE

[ihatelifejosemartine]

Full video please??

[buttaluv10]

They won't show the full video because they want us to go purchase the DVD box set.They can't make any money off of us just watching the Youtube clips.

[PrinceOfSoulMusic]

on the youtube search box type in O'Jays Backstabbers somebody has this full Soul Train performance uploaded!

[suckingboobies]

Gotta love the OJAYS.
