The Soul Train's final stop

[J. Golden]

I know it gas nothing to do with metal but some of us here are old enough to remember the train and have fund memories of it.
It is sad to hear this, Don accomplished more in his life time than most can only dream of.

A true pioneer at a time when it certainly wasn't easy to accomplish the things he did, visonary.

A sad day indeed. He blazed a trail for those behind him. He will be missed.

Soul Train was just good fun .. the dancing, the outfits, the characters. I wonder how much blow was floating around that studio .. haha. RIP Don !

I remember watching this on Saturday nights, eating a TV dinner on a folding TV tray as my parents would get ready to go out for the night. TV dinners were a big treat for me as kid back then.
