My eyes, my eyes! The 70's was not known for fashion that's for sure!

I wonder if any of the people who danced in the Soul Train Line Dance now cringe when they see their clothes and style... I probably would if it were me.

If you can watch either 1 Man 1Cup or this video all the way through without stopping or wincing in pain, you are a man.

Oh man. That was another time of life. I used to line dance to ST every Saturday in our family room while it was on...

Did you dress like that?.....*slips an anticipatory hand down pants*

I had these great gray bell bottoms. No seam up the side. Covered my whole shoe. Loved those slacks....

Some of it is making it's way back round. This is more kinda 80's. I think you would look smashing in that oatmeal colored sweater there, Steltom. Earth tones like that are good....they make people hungry.

Well thank you though I do not believe those clothes are made in my size.
It seems like that my family still ends up doing those line dances at weddings and such. Clothes a little less flamboyant though. Nothing beats the colors of the 70's.

We'd just have to hear the ST theme and it was ON !!

RIP Fayette Pinkney of The Three Degrees.

I think this guy is "Rerun" from What's Happening!

oo man if i had a time machine i would soo go back and experience that era...i believe soul train was the sole media outlet that inspired black music and talent. And those suits.......to die for. I know my dad still has at least one of them in his closet.

That was cool to see! I use to love Soul Train and Dance Fever.

That reminds me of when Theo could'nt get on Dance Mania but Cockroach did. Is it sad that the Cosbys raised me as a child through television?

That was Rerun! and any fashion guru knows that all 70 pants have now been molded into golf pants. just look at a pga tour.

The rest of the world might have had Soul Train and Dance Fever, but here in Detroit we had something all our own during the 80's and early 90's. The New Dance Show was a local favorite for thousands of club going kids. The fashion is now kind of funny, but I sure do miss that underground, bass heavy music of late night clubs back in the day.

If they were made in my size I would not wear them.
