SOUNDNEXX HOTCOMB SOUL MIXX!
For the last few weeks, I have made it my bidness to catch the classic re-runs of the Soul Train dance show that comes on here every Saturday afternoon! I am definitely a vintage Soul Train addict now! Other than watching some of my favorite 70s and 80s soul artists perform my favorite jamz in their prime, it's pure comedy watching the people dance. The outfits alone can keep me laughing for the whole episode, but the dances are definitely the most entertaining part in my opinion! Watching some dude dressed in a plaid one piece jumper with no shirt on and a poka-dot bowtie is one thing, but seeing him do the splits better than is girl is another? Dudes jumping around in their blouse like shirts with knots neatly tied in the front seem a little suspect? I definitely understand these vintage shows are from the 70s and 80s, but I think even back then most dudes weren't dressing like out here anyway. Soul Train was recorded in California, so fashion was probably a little more liberal out that way? Another thing I like about he vintage Soul Train shows is that it was couple driven. Momma and daddy would be at the pad practicing some new dance moves, buy a new matching outfit and finally get they're boogie on in front of the tv cameras for all the world to see. Unlike the newer version of the show, folks on the classic joints really seemed like they were having fun! That's what the vibe was all about back in the day, and you can definitely feel it in some of the music from that timeframe.

To pay homage to Don Cornelius (Soul Train host) and all of the folks that love the music from the 70s and 80s, I have put together a little compilation/mixx of soul tracks from that time. Watching those vintage shows made me remember some of the great tracks I had forgotten about over years. So, old heads reminisce while listening to these tracks and all the youngsters get familiar. Also, some of these tracks are original samples of some of your favorite R&B/hip-hop tracks, so listen closely and hear if you can figure out what songs they are from. So, on that note...SoundNexx bids you LOVE, PEACE AND SOUL!!
