The Gap Band perform Early In The Morning on Soul Train

[uzipolo]

this is from season 11 6/26/1982 epi30 this was also the when the theme changed from the waters to the whiospers performing it now also in the intro they had split screens to show who would be performing on the days shows, with no music of them just the visula window, not until later did they play the artist and the music they were going to perform that day which was real good for the soul train fans

These G D Commercials Are Getting Out Of Hand. The Video Buffering Sucks When The Vid Use To Just Come Right On. Go Sell Your Don't Work Products Elsewhere. That's What TV And Radio And Other Internet Outlets Are For.
