So, we had to make our own cereal, toast, or boil an egg, whatever was easiest to do as a kid.īy 12, 1:00, that’s when Soul Train came on. That’s when adults started wavering into the room and the party got real. We’d be cleaning up while watching Soul Train. We’re vacuuming, doing dishes, and was pausing in between to watch the artists because all we had when it came to these artists at that time was album covers.
There were no videos, no Internet, there was nothing. So we had these album covers, and to us, The Isley Brothers were a bunch of white suits and capes. And we would only imagine where they lived and who they were and what their opinions were, or if they were faithful to their wives.
We didn’t have any of those intimate things. So, to see them on Soul Train live, even though they were lip syncing - it was exciting, because you got to see a 3-D version of this album cover that you’ve been staring at the whole time and wondering about.
