I heard a week or two ago that an archive of Soul Train has been digitally remastered and is being released in multi-disc format. I spent many Saturday afternoons as a kid watching Don Cornelius and the Dance Line, listening to some of the best 70's soul and funk. It was one of the best musical educations I received.
First, the kings of the Philly sound (where Cornelius' show originated), the O'Jays with "Backstabbers"
Wow, I had forgotten about The S.O.S. Band! Here they are with "Take Your Time".
I love this next song. Much better than the stupid remake of it by Simply Red. This is Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, "If You Don't Know Me By Now":
