The Best Of Soul Train

I thought i'd start a thread about the show in syndication. They had been doing shows for a long while in the 80's.

They finally dedicated the next 3 or 4 weeks to the 70's! What a relief! I tell ya. this week: The Moments "Sexy Mama", Sylvia "Pillow Talk" & Ecstasy, Passion & Pain "I Wouldn't Give You Up" ...

anybody at least try to watch?

i'm not sure what you mean about an equity card? hehe.

I don't even know if they still have the show still going with the new music as what i'm watching comes on at 2:00am on saturday nights. I have to tape it because I don't necessarily stay up that late. anyways I can't wait 'til next week!

no.... everything about it is the original series, but possibly parts of other shows that are within a week of each other. (If that made sense)

our buddy FUNKYDUDE who is one of the original members of this forum back in the 90's loves the show also.

All very complicated stuff, but I'd be surprised if the dancers didn't have to originally sign something saying the company could use the image ect ect. Music use and royalties might have be a problem too.

But Discodisk like you, I'm jealous..I don't want to see...... NEED to see Ecstasy, Passion & Pain !
