Growing up in NYC in the 60s/70's when Soul Train came up..., my friends and I locked into it. Soul Train was our favorite TV show for Music. But I also watched what my parents were seeing from the Spanish station based in Puerto Rico for our Latin/Salsa style bands and songs which was shown a week later in NYC... LOL!!! In Black/White No color TV... for us.. !!! I did not bother seeing any that was American Bandstand growing up and as I got older... LOL!! When I join US Navy in 76'... We would watch a week later also in Hawaii... They were just getting to playing the Disco style music, I got lucky to be stationed at Pearl Harbor, Going to clubs like Spats (my regular spot), Da Sting, Valentino's, etc.. and for the record (No Pun) Disco style is really Soul Music, the change was the Latin percussion drums came to play into along with the Sou music later in the 70-80's Thanks to Don Cornelius staying the course in American History. (He...? probably serves with my dad, In Korea... also...!? 🙏
