    WTF!!!! O snap that is so so sad. If I remember 1 show on tv I watched on a regular when I was younger on Saturday it was the Sooooooooooooooooouuuuuuul Traaaaaaaaaaain! I remember seeing the Soul Train dancers(Damn that Asian chick with the loooooooong hair was fine) and learning the newest dance moves my stiff ass couldnt do ….thank God 4 break dancing 4 a hot min. I saw Al Greene,Barry White,Aretha,Curtis Mayfield,Marvin Gaye, Rick James,RUN-DMC,Whodini,Sheila E. New Edition,Sheena Easton,Teena Marie,Kool Moe Dee, etc I know Don hated Hip hop at 1st but he did let em get their shine on. Dick Clark tried 2 copy and paste but could not get with it. Don u brought so much happiness 4 that hour with music and dance so may stars have come 2 that show and shined because of u Big Don. So ride that train on 2 your final stop. Peace, Love, and Soul!!

    I was never a fan of Soul Train, but he played a character named Muhammed Johnson in the 1980 film ‘Roadie’ that was over the top.
