As stated bởi one of the commentators, "Soul Train"" was considered a black version of "American Bandstand", the African-American counterpart. Don Cornelius, the creator, producer and host of the iconic musical variety show, who passed on last year, left an extensive musical legacy just like his counterpart Dick Clark. I have so many memories of "Soul Train" I just don't where to start. "Soul Train" had paved the way for black recording artists such as the Jackson 5, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, legendary singer, Johnny Mathis, have all gained national exposure as featured performers on the show.

Similar to "American Bandstand", the hiển thị had several white recording artists such as David Bowie, Teena Marie, Elton John, Sheena Easton, Hall and Oates, and Gino Vannelli as some of its featured performers. "Soul Train" was one of the best musical variety shows I've seen on ti vi alongside "American Bandstand", and one of the một giây longest-running programs on network television. Prior to being the founder, hot and producer of the show, Don Cornelius, became a a household named; as well, as biểu tượng with this legendary groundbreaking musical variety show; in addition, to veteran actor, Sid McCoy as the announcer, who passed on back in 2009.

What I liked about the hiển thị was the styles and trends from the Afro hairstyles and platform shoes. Back in 1987, he created the first annual Soul Train âm nhạc Awards, which aired on ti vi that following year. Michael Jackson, rượu mạnh, brandy and Stevie all been the past recipients of that award. The main reason the hiển thị was a huge success was for the reason it helped black recording artists such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Jackson 5, Aretha Franklin; in addition, to veteran singers like Johnny Mathis, who made several guests appearances on the show, got a resurgence among the viewers back in 1974 when first appeared as a musical guest.

Sadly Don Cornelius passed on back in 2012, but he left an extensive legacy behind when he passed. Whenever I see a classic "Soul Train" performance on ti vi hoặc YouTube, I enjoy watching them thêm and more.
