Soul Train: The Music, Dance, and Style of a Generation Hardcover – October 22, 2013

I’ve been wanting this book for years! Excellent condition!

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. The typographical errors are minimal.(That appears to be Bunny Sigler on page 98, not Joe Tex, with Damita Jo Freeman.)This does not take away from the overall layout of the book, which is pleasing to look at. It does a great job with just focusing on the history of the show as it relates to music and culture, which helps to highlight how Soul Train has broken many barriers in television and in music. The only thing that I question is the lack of information about the later years of first-run Soul Train episodes (1993-2006). Then again, Questlove probably wanted to keep this a positive book about Soul Train. Good job, Questlove!

Got this for my husband, he will love it. Minus one star for ripped book cover. I *think* this was supposed to be a new book (paid $30 for it from Brothers Vintage Toys and Collectibles) but cover is quite damaged. Not a deal breaker, since we don't typically keep the sleeve but this one had a cool cover to it, so we would have.We love Soul Train and this will be a great coffee table book.

I absolutely love this book. It was so well-done!The photographs are awesome. The book shows how many different and unique artists graced the Soul Train stage. Plus, I loved that the dancers were featured as well. It was great learning many of their names and a little bit about their journey on Soul Train. This book also did a wonderful job showing how the show evolved through the years and how each decade of the show was unique.I am so glad to have this book in my collection. It brings back such good memories of real artistry and great dancing. There will never be another Soul Train. I highly recommend this book!

I enjoyed this. Now I want to search for a box set of the shows. Pictures were great. So many 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.

This brought back so many memories...I appreciate the time, work, and love that Questlove put into gathering and archiving this info for posterity. Lots of behind-the-scenes stories and historical perspective, this book is a rare gem.

What a beautiful book! The pictures in it are wonderful! It makes a lovely coffee table book and a great conversation piece. It brings back a lot of memories of being young loving the music and dancing and dressing well. I like looking at all of the young ladies various hairstyles, etc. This book is priced just right for what you get, and makes a great addition to ones' library. I do recommend.

Awesome book. I have been a fan of the Soul Train TV Program and have bought related CD's and the DVD with some extracts and best of performances and if you are into 70's culture, funk, dance, disco, pop or R&B, you will really appreciate this book. Very posh with fantastic photos of excellent quality. What you pay is nothing compared to the pleasure you experience when navigating the big format photos in the book, more than a book to me it is a document.All 70's, 80's and 90's artist are here included in unique photos nowhere else available. You can also see how some artist progressed in their styles and fashion. The program run from 1971 until 2006 and the book covers to a bigger extension the time the program was conducted by the famous creator Don Cornelius. The book helps to understand the big contribution African-Americans did to the American and the world culture in terms of music, creativity and fashion.
