SOULTRAINFANS, REPRESENT.

definitely. For the folks who have been following me for the Soul Train stuff: I must tell you that while I was deleted a few months ago on youtube (STFANS and also NickFRESHBoogie), it is imperative to know that I set up shop -yet again- as "SOULTRAINFANS". This time, we are taking things quite easily. We are reposting a lot of the footage that was banished from the tube and s l o w l y adding new stuff. All in all, stay tuned to us. We promise to kill it once again!

here's a few of the reposts:

and a brand new DANCER DUB SACK from March 1981:


enjoy it all, folks!

 

so I have the flu. and I am watching some awesome movies and (of course) going through some of my favorite episodes of Soul Train. I landed on an episode from the 13th season (appx. 1983-1984) with Shannon, Bobby Womack, and Patti Labelle. Crazy episode it was as one can see Fred Berry (Rerun.. R.I.P.) in the audience locking away, and the dancers show out to the Romantics' "Talking In Your Sleep" (this was when Don Cornelius was 'experimenting' with the show's formula and playing more out-and-out pop music; the dancers made it work, though!!). another dance segment (namely, the scrambleboard) features the superb Larry Levan edit of Jeffrey Osborne's "Plane Love." 

Produced initially by George Duke and written by Synth God Hawk Wolinski, this groover just might be Jeffrey's best uptempo track pre woo-woo-woo as he --unabashedly-- croons about meeting a future hookup on a plane.

here it is in it's 12-inch glory. you might agree.
