Can't you just hear the whistle? The S-o-u-l Train is back on the tracks. After more than 35 years, Don Cornelius has sold his "Soul Train" franchise to MadVision, a
The new owners see big money making potential in opening up the "show's archives for older consumers for older consumers as well as to create a new version of the program for younger ones."
Are you ready to take a ride on the Soul Train, again? Well, I am. I can just see it now. ...
Just think of the merchandising opportunities:
Soul Train Wigs - Slide on the Snatch Back or Big-Afro of your dreams
Soul Train fashion line – Because natural fiber is so overrated!
Soul Train shoes for men – featuring the finest in pastel colored platforms with chunky heels
I'm just playin'. I love "Soul Train" for all of the hours of pleasure, and fashion guidance, it's gave me and my family over the years. And also, I mean, you can't just do the "Electric Slide" all the time. Every good wedding party eventually breaks out the "Soul Train" line.
But I can't see "Soul Train" without Don Cornelius. I mean, "Love, peace and sooouuul." Who else can do it?
So, what do you think : "Soul Train 35.0" or should the show just live on in our memory...and DVD?
1. What do u mean Don sold the show how,why who could even think they could do the show without Don C the first time I saw ST Joe Tex was on there and it's been on and poppin since I don't think I could ever look @ another ST show I'm crushed.
Whoever has the show now I wish You well Don I wish we could've talk this over.
LOVE,PEACE and SOUUUL
