答疑：jackmgheartDon Cornelius created Soul Train in 1970 with just $400. He hosted the hugely popular music and dance show for more than two decades. It was must-see TV for the latest fashion trends, innovative dance moves and black music hits.
Ralph Herndon is a pianist with the Choral Arts Society of Washington. He has fond memories of the show.
"The Soul Train was like having a party at your house every Saturday. Something that our black youth had to look forward to, something they could identify with."
Soul Train helped propel the musical careers of giants such as Michael Jackson, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye. The weekly show was the first television program specifically geared towards African Americans.
By the time it went off the air in 2003, Soul Train had become one of the longest-running syndicated shows in U.S. television history. Cornelius hosted the show until 1993. Ralph Herndon says the television icon helped so many recording artists.
"We probably would not have come this far, you know, had it not been for Don Cornelius and Soul Train being a catapult for a lot of black artists."
Soul Train fans say Don Cornelius introduced the music of Black Americans to the world, and to their fellow Americans.董•考尼路易斯仅用400美元就在1970年创立了Soul Train（灵魂列车）。他主持这个非常流行的音乐歌舞秀有20多年了。这是一个了解当今流行趋势、创新舞步和最富盛行的黑人音乐必看的电视节目。
罗尔夫•赫恩登是华盛顿合唱艺术协会的一名钢琴家，他非常喜欢这个节目。
“Soul Train就像是每周六在家里开派对一样，我们年轻人都在期盼它，好像他们可以通过这个来区分彼此。”
Soul Train推动了很多大腕明星比如迈克尔•杰克逊、詹姆斯•布朗、阿瑞萨•富兰克林和马文•盖伊的音乐事业的发展。这种一周秀是第一次在电视节目中有美国黑人的参与演出。
到2003年Soul Train停播，它成为美国电视历史上多次播出时间最长的节目之一。考尼路易斯主持节目一直到1993年。罗尔夫•赫恩登说这个电视节目成就了许多杰出的艺术家。
“要不是董•考尼路易斯和Soul Train为很多黑人艺术家开路，我们不可能走到今天这一步。”
Soul Train的粉丝说考尼路易斯把黑人音乐不仅带给了世界，也带给了他们的美国同伴们。 |
