In the wake of the death ‘Soul Train’ founder and host Don Cornelius in 2012, I put together this book documenting and celebrating the iconic syndicated series. It’s full of interviews with the dancers who made the show with their style and moves, and situates ‘Soul Train’ in the realms of American musicl and television history. This year is the 50th anniversary of the show, making it a good time to look at its inctedible history.
In the link above I talk about ‘Soul Train’ on the CBS Morning show.
It’s a history that still resonates in contemporary culture as this recent Silk Sonic video demonstrates.
