The best memory was the 80's intro with O'Bryan singing.

As a white teenager in Canada in the 90s, Soul Train was really the only program showcasing great music.

R.I.P. Leo Sullivan. He was the animator who designed the first intro.

This show reflected black culture so well. Whatever style and music was hot at the time.

I was shocked about the tragic death of longtime creator of "Soul Train" Don Cornelius. After 35 seasons, I wish the show could be bringing it back on syndicated TV after a 2006 final goodbye. My favorite moment on the show was when Don made a plan to put rap, dance, and R&B to the next level in the late 80s, and I saw a first rap performance by LL Cool J. After he left the show in 1993, there were a lot of changes including the new host idea and the scribble board, but the Soul Train line was a phenomenon. I was watching Charlie's Angels The Movie and there was a scene where Cameron Diaz was doing the Soul Train line dancing to the song "Baby Got Back." That was so hilarious. I missed the show very much and my hearts go out to Don's family and friends. And as he said for the final time in his famous quote: "I'm Don Cornelius. And as always in part, we wish you Love, Peace, and My favorite Soul Train theme songs was "Soul Train's a Comin'" by O'Bryan, "TSOP '87" and "TSOP '89" by George Duke and from the 1987-1989 seasons and the 1989-1993 seasons, "Know You Like To Dance" by Naughty by Nature and from the 1993-2006 seasons and "TSOP 2000" from 1999 to 2006 by Dr. Freeze.

It's strange that the intros from the 1970s make me feel like crying. I was born in 99 but somehow I feel a connection to that era, like it's nostalgic even to someone who wasn't around at that time!

I love love love all of the intros! I am 63. Soul Train was the jam back in the day! RIP Don Cornelius! You were a visionary and trailblazer!
The music and artists! The Afros, braids, perms, hot 🪮 comb presses, wigs, etc.! The clothes! Bell bottoms! Platform shoes! The latest dances! Iconic commercials! The Soul Train Line! The interviews and so much more! It was nostalgic! ❤😎

Every Saturday at 1 pm Caribbean time we'd hurry with our chores as teens to look at Soul Train and wished could go to the USA to go on the dance show .

I remember when “Soul Train” started in Chicago in 1970. It started in a small studio in the Board of Trade Building in the south Loop. They used the music from the first intro shown here, but they used video of an actual train. I think it was in 1972 when Cornelius took the show to Los Angeles and put it into syndication.

The O'Brian intro A Soul trains a coming...funky, funky

[VideoGamesAndTheWorld]

Soul Train is a huge part of me. I remember watching it with my older brother and older sisters. Those days were so fantastic! My older siblings were born in the 1970s, I was born in the 80s and raised in the 1990s. And I am not ashamed of it. When I was a little kid, I loved the train dance. When I was in my teens, I just wanted to get in there and dance with those girls. Such a great time that was. Just dancing and enjoying the music without a care in the world

One thing that always fascinated me about the early days of Soul Train was that it touched on so much geography of Black America. Don and Sid McCoy along with Johnson Products had that Chicago vibe. Gamble & Huff’s intro provided the Philly vibe. Of course the show was broadcasting from Los Angeles so many of those kids brought that Cali vibe. Very interesting to me✊🏾

"SOUL TRAIN, television's longest-running, first-run, nationally syndicated music program in television history, and the hippest trip in America. 60 non-stop minutes across the tracks in your mind into the exciting world of soul."
