When I hear this piece, it’s like Hydn to Et Exultavit as ST Theme Song to
Soul Train. Different genre’s of music but both are great classics.

This is hands down the best Soul Train theme and overall one of the best
tracks from the seventies in my expert opinion.

It’s a damn shame they both died 2 1/2 months apart! How weird! o_O

kokujin1014 says:

Rest In Peace Dick Clark and Don Cornelius.

dkeith45 says:

I think Don said “It’s always in parting, I wish you love, peace and SOUL!”
Best ST theme song IMO.

rickyt11 says:

I was in Vietnam in 73 and the ship was rocking 🙂

bhigdaddymark says:

@gerlsus And best of all, the music wasn’t offensive at all. No cursing, no
‘N’ word usage etc. Back then, our musicians/artists had PRIDE in our
culture. I wish this sub-culture we have today would go away, far away….

eloise rodgers says:

@carchavtube Yes, you’re right. I saw tht piece of documentry on television
lately.

The horns & orchestra are EVERYTHING! It reminds me of my childhood & Sunny

I remember that The Lord Rhaburn Combo of Belize did this song from the
album “Take Off” from off the record label RHA-GRAM in Guatemala in 1975

Blueberrycherries says:

XxTheBeatlesxX1 says:

DREAM CAN I?! :D. This takes my parents back though…they were my age
(like 18) when this came out. How I envy them….:/

liacallanster says:

TypesALot says:

This is the one I really remember the best!! It was perfectly fitting for
those times, wasn’t it? In fact, when I was a kid I used to say “Hey, isn’t
that the Soul Train song?” when I’d hear TSOP!!

megamanj2004X says:

This song, TSOP is, in my POV, the only one true theme song to SOUL TRAIN.
