LAWD LAWD!!! It got a little too good there. But hey.. I been there, called myself gettin ready to do the thang and away I went, clean across the floor & laffin all the way.

[CraftyGtrist]

Who knows what James Brown song that was????

[Tiny1bme]

@CraftyGtrist It's called Doing It To Death by Fred Wesley and The JBs with James Brown. They were part of James Brown's band or signed to his label. I think that's Fred Wesley blowing the horn.

[DetroitLives313]

Go Mary Wilson! Get down Don! This is such a great memory for me.

[edenic]

Jimmy Saville in the U.K and Don Cornelius in the USA did more for the health of their nation than KFC or Big Mac ever did, or will.

Mr Don Cornelius was one of our greatest entrepeneurs of the past 40 years. Had it not been for him, Black music and culture would probably not be as conspicuous, loved and highly respected as it presently is. He is a model for all young aspiring African-American media personalities and an exemplary one at that. Thank you and may Mr. Cornelius rest in peace. PBUH.

[Kaplanman09]

The original Cool Kid... Thanks for a lifetime of soul Don C.

[bubblinbrownsuga66]

Rest in peace Mr. Cornelius. You brought so much joy to so many people. I hope that you have found the peace that you were searching for. We thank you for the wisdom and insight that led you to create Soul Train and entertain generations of Americans.

[MySquiroz]

LOVE, PEACE AND SOUL! RIP DON CORNELIUS!

[pepdogg513]

One sad day for us all, yeah "The Don" Don Cornelius has Has finally taken the Ultimate Soul Train Ride to the land beyond. Needless to say, He'll be greatly missed, But we thank him for his groundbreaking, history making series of Soul Train. I can remember every saturday watchin' soul train, yeah "the hippest trip in america", the fellas were pop lockin, doin' the boogaloo, and the robot, and them fine ass sista's dancin' and doin' their thang as well, and me and my brother would try and

[pepdogg513]

(continued) pick out the finest ladies on soul train and say "Imma grow up and marry her"-lmao and my mayne man DC, "The Don" Don Cornelius was just too cool for school, with that three foot fro, the bell bottoms, and the 6 inch platform dress shoes, and the voice of barry white & Issac hayes blended together maaann, dat was da joint-lol Yes indeed, it sho brings back memories of the greatest times of my childhood life.

Thank God for Great Memories!

Rest In Peace Don, We love ya Brotha!

[ChampCarforlife]

[benlawash]

R.I.P the souul Don...



[arealmanofgenius15]

Don, you will be missed. Soul Train will LIVE FOREVER! I remember watching Soul Train as a kid and wanting to be there and dance in the line. I danced in my living room instead, and always thought that Don Cornelius was the smoothest man alive. Growing up a rural, white kid, Soul Train was not as popular where I grew up, but I didn't care-it was still awesome. I still can't believe he took his own life, but the memories of the show will stay with me and the legion of fans for a lifetime.

[Angelscnbsexi2]

@arealmanofgenius15 As an African American woman growing in a single parent home in the ghetto of Brooklyn, It amazes me how music connects us more that we can ever imagine.

[DetroitLives313]

Two of my favorite people. Mary Wilson and Don Cornelius. Thank you Don and RIP

[REDLIONTV]

We will miss you Man...Love Peace & Soul....

[335688black]

RIP to soul brother #2

[xDTHECHEMISTx]

RIP DON!

[selloutasaurus]

Loved Soul Train...Rest in peace, Don Cornelius. You brought a lot of joy to the world with your show.

[GodsGiftToHumanity]

Don, your show previewed the year I was born in 1970. As a middle class white guy I grew up watching you. You taught me what cool was. The black youth of today could use your positive influence. I am not sure what happens to people when they commit suicide but I worry about the souls of those who do take that step (with the exception of mental illnesses). I have endured 2 painful stints with dialysis and 2 kidney transplants and wanted to die many times. Don't ride the long black train. I love u

[M323DeMar]

RIP DON

[SURFLifeHard]

Surf Life Hard Don! You rocked those platform shoes!

[MrJohanasBilderberg]

I thank you for giving this white boy some soul.

RIP Don.

I wish you love, peace, and soul.

[biollante62]

@MrJohanasBilderberg I'm an old school white boy who grew up with this show,he gave me some funk soul as well brother.

[ladycplum]

@MrJohanasBilderberg I was still a little white babe in arms when Soul Train was on, but with the tv on when I was a baby, I think the music just sunk its way into my soul.

[Keezie27]

RIP to a true pioneer. You will be missed Don. Thank you for everything!

[FloridaRaider]

this was a little before my time, but life seemed much more innocent back then

[shisnoking]

@FloridaRaider It really wasn't though. It just seems that way in hindsight.

[mar1956tin]

@FloridaRaider It was right around my time and you're right things were a lot different then

[zyxek]

@FloridaRaider I think it only looked that way on TV.

[ladycplum]

I hope you found the peace in God's arms that you could not find on Earth.

[InspectorphattApple]

@ladycplum He's on da real soul train now.

[ladycplum]

@InspectorphattApple Amen to that!

[salishbeauty]

RIP! I'm so thankful for the joy dance & funky music brought to my soul. I grew up in Los Angeles & watching Soul Train. Moved back to Vancouver, got on a dance floor & pulled out the funky moves with my baby blue high waisted wide bell bottoms & people stood back and were like, "What the he__? Next time I went I brought a mixed tape, they played it! & people soon updated their dance steps that I learned from the show! Much love & thanks for bringing me Peace, Love & Soul Train! - From Kat
