I gotta say I was shocked when I found out about the passing of Don Cornelius. I like many other grew up watching this show and watching it with friends and family. The performances, the dances all of it a staple in the black community. The "Soul Train Line" is damn near a staple at every black event from a wedding to a family gathering. I won't go to much into detail about his untimely death.. but I will say an impact was made with this show. A trendsetter from as many followed from American Bandstand to 106 & Park.. there will never ever be another Soul Train. Enjoy some of my personaly favorite moments.
