He is the last Don.
Don Cornelius and his production ‘Soul Train’ is an indelible part of my life. Before music videos were being produced it was ‘Soul Train’ which featured the artists and the styles that would come to represent Black people and our presentation of American culture and lifestyle.
There aren’t any words to say to express my gratitude for Don Cornelius giving this filmreel to me and the rest of the world.
Thank you sir.
why why why…..i just saw him on that full force unsung episode and hed aged well as most of us with the high melanin count do. extremely sad
Damn… I hope whatever pain and sorrow Don felt is over but it would have nice to have him around longer. So many great moments! Threee highlights:
