Unique74 Remembers… Mr DON CORNELIUS…

I dont even know what to say or how to react..He was the reason why BLACK MUSIC and CULTURE yielded a diverse roster in style, sound, perspective and creative direction. No other television show celebrated Black (dont be afraid to say it with me African Americans..BLACK) expression on a diverse level the way SOUL TRAIN presented. Thus creating a lingering appeal that has lasted 40 yrs plus which helped set the tone for just about every Music outlet on an international scale..As a kid (I understood very clearly) and was proud to see people that looked like me and my family on television be represented with pride, dignity & style..”They” fought him tooth and nail in bringing such a vision that would not only give Black artists a fair shake in exposure in which the world would be privy to an AUTHENTIC experience in sound & style that is presented & celebrated by those very people..This Chi-town native carried the blueprint of his days at WVON which eventually became a audio visual outlet that not only changed the game but it changed minds..I would not dare to dream, create, raise the stakes if it were not for a visionary named DON CORNELIUS..(I was so very lucky to speak, meet and shake the man’s hand 3yrs ago..)..He was an institution..Rest In Paradise..

@5:44 -6:00 #epic #breakdown

Right before that he says “right here” and goes into the clap thing..but he is directing the band AND the audience..pay attention. the clavinet wins again!!

The only thing missing is JAMES BROWN himself.

He was of the elite in percussion players for eons in countless sessions, he had a very distinct style which set him apart. The Creed Taylor catalogue has his mark all over those sessions in addition to countless classics..im heartbroken..Rest Bro Ralph..Grover is waiting on you..

“Ms Rob on the job”

She played a very pivotal role in bridging and branding the sounds of post 60′s Soul/Funk to taking on an untapped market in Hip Hop culture in the late 70′s. I remember getting very excited and blushing when “Pillow Talk” came on the radio as a kid. Rest In Paradise SYLVIA ROBINSON.

Happy Birthday NILE RODGERS!!!
