Soul Train Line Dance YOU SHOULD BE DANCING by Bee Gees.flv

[rebeccajohack]

What's with that annoying whistle in the background?

[kevseb66]

I love the whistle in the backround. It just screams 70's. "You Should Be Dancin" was a perfect Soul Train line song. Just the right tempo for those who know how to move & groove to the beat.

[enajohnson2010]

Soul Train better than American Bandstand in the 70's

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

Superb. Well dressed people, the flares, boots and hot dance moves. ALWAYS brings a smile.

[tomsriv]

Kill that guy with the whistle!

[lecompasmanOne]

The FunyDancers..love SoulTrain*

[nuthinbutclassics]

RIP Don Cornelius. Thank you for creating something for 'us' that ended up crossing boundaries and barriers. Thank you for creating Shalamar giving Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels to, reminding us and teaching us with the scramble board, black pride with the afro sheen commercials and all that. Thank you and all of the dancers that made us want to get our funky boogie. We watched to see what to wear and how to dance. Love, Peace and Soul

[fantaja82]

That Sailor dress is so fierce! i love the 70s! and im an 80s baby!

[mari66101]

I love it when the guy in the jump suit pulls the girl away, and all three guys in jump suits start dancing in the line. I used to know all the Disco steps and had a good friend as a dancing partner,it was so much fun to dance at parties back then. RIP Don Cornelius.

[OldskolFan]

These videos give me a natural high; endorphins are released. Jeffrey was just amazing! Thanks to Don for starting ST and giving voice and attention to a part of pop culture and music/dance that didn't get any.

[sim24687193]

RIP Mr. Don Cornelius, you gave us Soul Train and for that, we'll always come on chucking.

[da1073]

Music was better, men and women didnt look like chunky monkeys. arrrgggh. I wish people would get back in shape and just have fun. No political correctness, the races were starting to come together, and everyone was sexy without loooking like their mugging for a porn photographer.

[FAXBEAT]

awesome



[RandyThomasMadden]

That whistle blower BLOWS! (hear it?) Totally taking away from the great dancers and such an Amazing song!

[cindyjean61]

R.I.P. Always loved his voice...love the videos from the seventies...Classic!

[devans00]

These women show how you can be classy and sexy without falling out of your clothes or showing a lot of skin. RIP Mr Don Cornelius. We appreciate you.

[Cherry32able]

Clair Huxtable @ 1:22 

[Cherry32able]

This has to be the best train line I've seen over the years. Wow....

[wartman5]

jody watley---1:00

[NicolaWriter]

If they had these dancers in SNL,it would have been a wrap for Tony and the crew,lol.

[PedroGMan]

@0:55, OOOOOHHHH!!! It's Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniel from Shalamar!!!!

[SuzyDamari21]

@PedroGMan Good eyes!!

[teewoods]

Anyone notice how they are all slim, dress cool and of course dance great. Fast forward - fat, slow and covered with awful bling.

[Joy77]

@teewoods Ha ha, tht's too funny. So right tho.

[bowtechspeedfreak]

Someone throw a brick at that fucker with the whistle!!!

[tuina1]

Tony Manero shat himself when he saw this!

[5kids2manny]

Keedah is so cute and smooth!

[MsSunbean]

Nothing like Soul Train!!!

[ghostfire1234]

i just the found the theme for my 30th birthday!!!

[DiddlyDom]

Magic!! Love that dudes moves at 0:57!!

[maauwieprrprr]

You don't understand, i'm not saying they are jobless, i was just speaking in general.

[LadySwag502]

Is that Phylicia Rashad @ 1:26?

[MsTexas73]

@LadySwag502 No. Phylicia was in NYC on Broadway during the 70s.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

we need soul train back to combat modern day obesity

[MsTexas73]

@DaMostEnigmatic Yeah...between dancing and not eating as much fast food back then, people stayed in shape.

[kris24triniboyuk]

1 one person should be dancing and there not

[westnblu]

1 solitary dude dont dig the groove. Shame!!

[LesbianVampireLover]

Those were the days! And you had Bandstand, too. The good vibes just flowed continuously! There are no shows like this anymore. Dancing With The Stars doesn't count!

[LadySwag502]

@LesbianVampireLover American Bandstand could not compare with Soul Train in any shape or form whatsoever. Soul Train was the absolute best. Hands down.

[constantrvlr]

I would give my left nut to be in the soul train line. I was born 20yrs too late

[SirHugoStiglitz]

0:55 look at the dude dancing on the right...BEASTMODE

[MsTexas73]

@SirHugoStiglitz That's Jeffery Daniel (dancing with Jody Watley) before their Shalamar days.

[nuthinbutclassics]

So proud of Soul Train it gave us brotha's and sista's growing up in the hood a show to be inspired by back the day. Every Saturday was clean the house and watch Soul Train before you did anything, big ups to Don Cornelius and all dancers

[uzipolo]

the funny thing is that most of the white acts that was on soul train did play live and did not lip sync in a way to prove a point...

[dancinglife92]

Damn that dude straight pulled her ass out the way lol

[cherrybomb2600]

at 2:25, a guy pulls a girl off the line & dances with her partner! & another guy jumps in.

looks planned - so funny.

[debstar808]

@cherrybomb2600 totally planned they are all wearing the same zip suit!!! love it. Bro Power

[WonderWomanFan4life]

The bee gees are soul brothers. we love the bee gees. they could really jam.. this was one of my fav songs

[WonderWomanFan4life]

wow i love the whistle..

[WonderWomanFan4life]

soul train was the best.

[zhingazam]

did u have to dance as a couple on teh soul train line back then?

[bigstuff52]

Some beautiful sisters-WOW

[tatsu403]

It's my sweet memory in my childhood even for Japanese.

[PedroGMan]

A great Soul Train line to a classic by The Bee Gees and @ 0:54, Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels from Shalamar getting their groove on!!!!!!

[KrfNYC2]

Why the whistle?

[gatolupas]

2:27 LMAO

[gwynneveireland]

i love this thanks for posting

[vatech1515]

I think he got paid 10 cents per whistle.

[Hyathin]

How much do you think that whistle guy got paid?

[smoothpants]

' Hey...this ain't Kool and The Gang, muthafucka!"

Richard Pryor - "Wanted"

[ggordon10]

That phuking whistle made me want to put a knife through my eye. It's going to give me OCD in my head for rest of the week like a broken record that cannot be stopped.

[wildturkey1960]

EGADS!!! Check out those bell-bottoms. I miss this show...

[dcity212]

somebody high on that whistle

[PaulDePace]

Check out that sweet move at :59 ....that is sweeter than sweet!

[CreatureFeatureFred]

I got halfway through and cut it off. That damned whistle blower was making me crazy.

[3912James]

0:54....nice robot.

[heine71]

Tne Bee Gees "You Should Be Dancing" was the #1 song on the AT40: The 70's broadcast of the September 4, 1976 AT40 episode heard on the weekend of September 10-11, 2011.

[raininnevada]

Why did that dude snatch that girl out of line? I would have jumped back in and grooved by myself.

[Hotbttms]

@raininnevada That looks like Jeffrey Daniels from Shalamar, he was wrong for that lol

[MsTexas73]

@raininnevada it was all in fun...they're all good friends.

[51d10u5]

Its friday...SOUL TRAIN LINE TO THE BEE FRAKKIN GEEEEES!! YOU SHOULD BE DAAAAAANCIIIIIIING!!

[quirpco]

As a white artist/group, you know you've really made it when your song is played on Soul Train!

[coolwafferman]

@quirpco I know, they even played "Disco Duck" by Rick Dees in 1976, and let me say the Soul Train gang danced the hell out of that song.

[MsTexas73]

@coolwafferman LOL yeah...and "Disco Lucy" too. smh

[bpot22]

@quirpco Thats so true.

[bpot22]

@quirpco Thats so true.

[GrumpyOldAssFart]

@quirpco

but I don't think they cared as long as it sounded good - that was the '70s. It seemed music had no color until the '80s came.

[PedroGMan]

@quirpco In the case of The Bee Gees, several R&B artists during the 1970s have had success with cover versions of their songs sych as How Do You Men A Broken Heart by Al Green, More Than A Woman by Tavares and Nights On Broadway by Candi Staton, just to name a few.

[theiceman74]

damn gurls used to look decent and kool back in the days

[1goldbaby]

Talent that just came natural no dance lessons

[RManFlint]

The Soul Train line had the most creative dancers ever seen on TV. Check the guy with the tie doing the robot.

[babyindabeamer08]

Luv the energy !!! awesome :)

[ls1killa]

YO, THAT DUDE IN 0:56 IS FROM THAT GROUP SHALAMAR!

[oxyquan313]

@ls1killa so was the girl..thats jody watley and jeffrey daniel

[ls1killa]

@oxyquan313 yo i was looking at unsung he was saying that m.j. stole the moon walk from him. NOW I BELIEVE HIM look at how jeffrey end his dance.

[jeditwinz]

@ls1killa He might have had his interest in it sparked again by Jeffrey, but remember MJ was a fan of early dance movies. So really he might have already known about it as a kid. There is a video on Youtube showing people doing it in the 30s and 40s. Search for Origins of the Moonwalk

[MsTexas73]

@jeditwinz Right. Jeff didn't say MJ stoele it from him. He taught him the moves. And MJ has had Jeff in a few of his videos.

[gsnman]

@ls1killa Yep, Jeffrey Daniel and Jody Watley. I loved Shalamar!

[squidman22]

That whistle's driving me nuts!

[gsnman]

@squidman22 I KNOW, RIGHT?!

[maauwieprrprr]

Pick all the jobless black people from the street and give them money to teach the white people how to dance, thats the way i feel watching this.

[MsTexas73]

@maauwieprrprr Then you would be incorrect. Many of the dancers were either in school or working(living their regular lives) the rest of the weeks of the month. ST was taped only one weekend a month (two shows on Sat and two on Sun).

[mariabbb1964]

BAD AS SHIT LOVE THIS

[LBJTV]

ahh..soul train in the 70s..man i wish i had a time machine..i cant stand these days anymore

[MrDJChEeSe]

REALLY? You should "Be" Dancing. WOOT!!!!!

[heine71]

A Bee Gees song on Soul Train?

[Muziclvr07]

@heine71

lol! "Jump" by Van Halen was once played during a Soul Train Line dance. That was the beauty of the show; the kids on the show just loved to dance the to good music, just like the Soul Train audience.. Don was smart enough to give the people what they wanted. :) As for the Bee Gees...this song is too funky to be denied. I was jammin' to this song myself back in the day.:)

[heine71]

@Muziclvr07 Hope there's a clip of Jump by Van Halen on Soul Train.

[SWEAEPE]

@heine71 I have to admit, the Bee Gees were good. Forget about the white, listen to the music, nearest thing white to R&B but REAL soul music was always Black.

[heine71]

@SWEAEPE I wonder if Soul Train played other Bee Gees songs - Jive Talkin', Stayin' Alive, Night Fever, and/or Tragedy - during the mid to late 1970's.

[clearlyme63]

@heine71 I don't know about "Tragedy", but they did play the rest of their songs!

[MsTexas73]

@heine71 I remember Stayin Alive and Night Fever being played.

[Daiseehead]

Was anyone overweight in the 70s?



[alzorama]

@Daiseehead No. Being overweight was definitely not commonplace. But with all that movin' and groovin' on the dance floor, who would ever risk being overweight? lol

[cliffcox66]

@Daiseehead NOPE, they just were into the real way their bodies were, not focused on super skinny.

[dexterdenise]

@Daiseehead MAYBE 2 NO MORE THAN 5

[quirpco]

@Daiseehead Actually yes, they just weren't shown on TV back then.  LOL

[BlaCklightvoodoo]

yeaaaaaaah oldschool poppin&locking :D

[abc123829]

OMG! It's Jeffrey and Jody of the group Shalamar!
