Re: For Those Who Liked "Soul Train" Back in the Day

I was crazy about Soul Train!  I tried to never miss it!  The Americal Soul show is pretty good.  Brought back some memories for sure.  The music was totally awesome!!!

Re: For Those Who Liked "Soul Train" Back in the Day

Thank you so much for mentioning this show. 

 

 

As someone else posted, I watched all 3 shows today and couldn't stop watching.  

 

It is really well done.

 

I hope that this is recognized for Emmy's next year.

i am enjoying this mix of fact and fiction!

so sorry that this is a limited series.

would love to have it continue or to have had the timeline slowed down a bit or be longer (like showing more of dons early life.)
