Soul Train Breakdown



The first time my youngest daughter saw Soul Train, was on the Retro TV station Centric. And this was the episode we saw. The first thing she said was; "Oh, now I know why you dance the way you do.".. Huh? I guess dance styles have changed a lot over the years, but dang, I'm not sure that was a compliment.
In MY DAY!!~Dang, *guess I'm getting old- Soul Train was the thang!! I lived for Saturday Mornings to see who the special guess was gonna be and what the new dance was. In no way was Soul Train consided 'not cool'. I either wanted to be the 'Asian lady' with the long hair or the Tall Black chick with the Afro or a cross between the two. I loved music, but Soul Train made me want to DANCE!!
And I did too, all ova the house (ask my brother). You couldn't tell me I wasn't Soul Train material..LOL Anyway; had to share that lil tibit, I know we all have a story or two; Okay maybe just us 'old people'. *Hmph...
