The Persuaders - Thin Line Between Love and Hate (Live Performance)

It is a must to pay tribute and love to the godfather of soul music on TV, the late great Don Cornelius. This clip of Mr. Cornelius introducing The Persuaders is as exciting now as it was when it first aired. Many early shows of Soul Train had full bands playing live and other times, vocal groups singing live to pre recorded instrumental tracks. There was much lip sync activity in later years. It appears this may be live vocals to a pre recorded instrumental track. What do you think? Regardless, this is real sweet stuff.

Don Cornelius - Pioneering Music Television Innovator - 1936-2012

So sad to hear about the death of the legend, Don Cornelius. Had the privilege of meeting him and shaking his hand at the 1995 NATPE Convention in Las Vegas where I told him how badass I thought he was. He didn't even crack a smile, but it didn't matter. He was a great man who paved the way for so many great artists.

James Brown - Papa Don't Take No Mess

Here is a fantastic take of James Brown performing live on Soul Train. Obviously, The Godfather of Soul is not the kind of man to lip sync, like some artists did on Soul Train. A thank you to the IkeDyson SoulTube channel for the great clip.

War - Slipping into Darkness

There are so many great versions of this song, I'll start with this one live from Soul Train, circa 1971 or 1972.



This might be my favorite version, but it has no video. This take is as laid back as funk gets while keeping it cool as a cucumber.



And a great version (non video) from a live show in Chicago in 1972
