In honor of the late Don Cornelius: Great moments from the Soul Train dance line.
Cornelius, the suave, ultra-cool emcee, made Soul Train appointment viewing by creating a show that showed another side of black music and culture…People tuned into to see the musical acts, but the dancers soon became as much of a main attraction. They introduced Americans to new dances and fashion styles, and made the Soul Train dance line — where people stand line up on each side while others sashay down to show their moves — a cultural flashpoint. “The Soul Train line — that will go down in history as a way of dancing at parties all around the world.”
