"Great book!" according to B. C.. This book was worth the wait and well put together. I enjoyed reading it and looking at all of the pictures. This book has information on Don Cornelius and the artists, dancers, and others who have been involved with Soul Train.

It does a great jo. Deanna said Great Memories. I love everything about the influence that Soul Train had on the world. The history behind it. The talent that appeared on the show. Everything. Questlove does a fantastic job of capturing all of that in such a way that feels like a walk down memory lane. If you even just caught only a few episodes of Soul Train previously, you should still get this book. It will open your eyes to the history that is the great Soul Train.. missy said Memories. This book brought back memories when I was a little girl watching this show every Saturday. I enjoyed reading most about the dancers, now that I know their names. I only thing I don't like about the book is that, it should have been proofread very carefully. There was a picture of Kool Moe Dee but it had another artist name underneath. I recommend this book to everyone who is a fan of Soul Train.
