    PROUD to say I actually danced on that show baaaak in 1978....first white girl to do so. it was an incredible experience, and i'm so thrilled to have had even a tiny tiny part in such a historic/iconic show. Don Cornelius changed the culture......black youth funked their way right into our living rooms, and we ate it up! Rest In Peace Visionary, Don Cornelius......glad to have met you.

    This Video shows freedom, i mean real freedom! you know cause to many people in this world are worried about what other people are doing or thinking and trying to point fingers here and there as to why this world is the way it is.. This video serves as a reminder to not get to caught up in the game and to let yourself just be free for a min. cause face it, it feels good to just let yourself move to the music without giving one care as to what someone else thinks.

    Growing up in the 70s as a white boy in Germany in a small town. Once a week the local vinyl store might have a new one of black music, I get it me immediately. Every funky echoes from Black America I sucked with all my nerves, in an era without Smartphones and Internet. I am so happy now to watch the original soul train to keep the funk alive in my daytime, thanks, don cornelius!
