Soul Train Needs To Be Brought Back To TV (Would You Like To See It Back?)

[SirReginald]

Soul Train was good in it's hey day and brought us together in more ways than one. I know the last time I heard, Nick Cannon was going to bring it back

If it's brought back they should include Fuji, Benga, Juju, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Poetry, Soul, R&B, Afro-Beats, Afro-Soul, Indie Black Artists, and music from the whole diaspora. Don't just include AA musicians. Also, it helps those artists get more exposure over in the Americas. It has to be unique and different from the other shows we see. No music that is Anti-Black/African either.

Also, it needs a good host and not a Don Cornelius 2.0 He created the concept and I respected him to death for giving so many musicians shine, but he was a terrible host (no troll). However, he made it work by being robotic, but this time it needs a funny dude. Mike Epps or Nick Cannon would make a terrific host. Hell, Deray Davis.

The Soul Train line in 2019

106 & Park too.

where we are culturally and musically in 2018. No.
It was a steady decline for Soul Train after the 1970's anyway.
There is no soul in the majority of the music out there and no music you can actually groove to.

106 & Park too.

I'd rather see Soul Train over 106 & Park. It'd be good on either BET or a big network like Fox/or ABC.

Indie artists and there's a lot of Black British artists out there. Also, look at those African and Jamaican genres.

A 2018/2019 soul train line would be interesting to see lmao

Hell no! Keep those cornballs away.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

nope

 

[???]

america has been dying for a long time, everything is politically motivated right now and this clown is talking about soul train. instead of correcting all our problems, this fukker wants to shake his ass to mumble garbage while taking a selfie.

 

[SirReginald]

Hell no! Keep those cornballs away.

Nick Cannon is a ratings draw though and Mike Epps comedic timing would make the hosting work. You don't want a nobody as host.

 

[Rhapscallion Démone]

Erykah Badu would be a good host.

At the root Soul Train was black American Soul though.

Last time I saw Soul Train was when Chingy was debuting Right Thurr

It's not just about being funny. Don Cornelius was doing radio before soul train. There would need to a host who truly loves Soul music and is also charasmatic to ground the show. Not just some clown hosting it.
