Gold lame? Did you see the chick with the diaper on?? That shit is funny! I miss some Soul Train. It used to come on Saturday mornings, ironically, right after American Bandstand....
God, this reminds me of "Dancin' on Air" out of Philly, circa 1981. I watched it every day after school. It was the "must see" show. I would kill to see video of that again. Googled and came up empty. It's probably best anyway.
there was one chick w white what is known as dolphin shorts. i had some similar to that in the 80s. i have a pic around here somewhere lol the dance moves crack me up & some us probably danced like that back then, but i don't remember. i was a new wave girl for awhile lol
One of my fave tunes of all time, as well as the title of one of my blog posts! Thanks for this flashback...or is it really a flash-forward to BlogHer???!!!
It's 4 AM. I've had a highly stressful, very eventful evening driving the taxi. I decide to read one blog before bed and choose your's. GREAT, now I've got LET IT WHIP stuck in my dreams all night. I remember the newer Soul Train from the late 80's early 90's.
That makes me wish they'd come back and do a "Where are they now--The Soul Train Dancers." Wouldn't you love to see what they wear and look like today and especially how they dance. Funny!
You just cant go too long between sightings of strapless, shorts, jumpsuits, can you? What happened to the eighties when boys were really packing some heat?
Ouch ! My eyes! Those outfits bring back such RIDICULOUS memories! And what is with the guy at minute mark 1:03? Stuffed pants? Or am I just seeing things because I was blinded by all of the gold lame and disco shorts?
Oh holy crap, that was funny to watch! Was that Richard Simmons in the striped shirt or is the resolution on my work computer effed up? And is this where Napolean Dynamite learned his sweet dance moves? Just wondering.

Only those of us who do not have some tucked away in secret are missing it, if you get what I am saying
I think ol boy Don Cornelius was in the news recently--he acted up. Domestic battery charge, I think

Aha! Now I know what to wear with my red turtleneck: white shorts that look just like an adult diaper!
