I remember coming home from school to watch Soul Train… his voice is
legendary.
The voice you knew that voice from six rooms away when he was on
Deus o abençôe senhor Cornelius. O senhor fez mais que muitos. Apenas
usando a benção da música o senhor derrubou muitos murros e paredes. Murros
de preconceitos. Fez unir homens e mulheres, que as paredes do preconceito
racismo separava. Vamos sentir muito sua falta. Lá onde estiver que Deus e
s anjos o ampare. Eté um dia.
Great video. Don will always be a giant personality for eternity.
RIP Brotha !!!!!!!!!!!!!
peace and soul!
Smooth
Don Cornelius 1936-2012
RIP…I can’t believe it, its so sad
RIP Don Cornelius. Mr. Cool, Mr. Smooth, Mr. Soul Train!
@Slick2614 you have no life do you?
Thanks for posting in memory of a Great American, we will miss Don
Corrnelius . I was hoping to see him again on Soul Train this fall . He
provided a great venue & exposure of Soul Music & culture to the American
music experience . I was very saddened to learn of his passing Feb 1st I
love to watch the videos of Soul Train. Soul Train provided much exposure
of Soul Music & culture to America & we are grateful to him for that, he
was also a Marine who served in Korea, RIP Semper Fi , Don !
May peace be with you! It was a great show that taught so so much Mr. Don
Cornelius you will forever be a legend in music. God bless you family and
everyone that was around you, you were (and always will be) a great
man.”Love, PEACE, and Soul”.
RIP. Don Cornelius. Sad he and the show are gone.
Love , PEACE / & SOOOOUUUULLL : )
He has to be put in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! For all of his
contributions to the music business, it would be a shame that it did not
happen. Thanks for the memories!

@Maafa1619 The only absurdities and laughable statements are coming from
you. Now get 2 things, a life, and out of my face. I’m done talking with an
obvious idiot.
if your in chicago area channel 26 wciu is giving a marathon right now on
soul train
RIP Don C.
Why, hello cutie @ 1.43
The one dislike was a white person with no soooouuuuuuullllllllllllllllllll
The man deserves a statue for what he did for the entertainment industry.
When Soul Train was at its height it surpassed other shows like American
Bandstand, Midnight Special and In concert. All artists wanted to be on
ST…David Bowie, Elton John and more. Bless you Mr. Cornelius.
@Maafa1619 To call you stupid is to elevate your intelligence. In other
words, You’re not even smart enough to be stupid. Now go back to the toilet
you overflowed from.
RIP…
Don was just too smooth. LOL
R.I.P DON!! And the 4 fools who disliked you aint got a clue! for what
reason you disliked is jsut out of spite. For he is one of the leading
fellows to help black music be mainstream and to what it is today. Bless
You and Thanks
I REALLY DIG DON’S GROOVY THREADS, MAAAAAN !!!!!
Love Peace And Soul….RIP Don Cornelious
He got Marvin, Donnie, Michael and James Brown together for the weekend
jam! I know it.
For a man who always preached Black is beautiful, can’t figure why he
married a white woman.
1:43 whos that pretty young thang? whoo wee
The man that’s responsible for every soul train line during
Christmas,Family reunion &wedding for my family RIP MY BROTH
rip don
May your soul rest in love and peace Don
@sassydiva1231 Keep in mind he had Dementia / Alzheimer’s Disease. A former
Father-in-law has it, and makes people do things.
Timless & classic..there will never be another.
I have never believed a person needed to apologize for their race. Don
Cornelius didn’t care what colour you were. We are all people who love funk
and that is all. Love to Don’s family and friends. He will be greatly
missed. He was part of my teen years. 🙁
The Master & Conductor of the Soul Train- Don Cornelius…wonder how many
people knew that you were pretty smooth on your feet? Thnx 4 the music, the
platform & the fro! 🙂 We will never forget you. Rest in love, peace & soul.
