I'm in the process of receiving some old soul train eps from the 70's and I cannot not believe that he actually appeared on Soul Train and sung the same exact song that he sung in Rent Party-"when you're young and in love" That blew my mind-LOL Did anyone else know this about Ralph?

That's a new one to me. Now how did I miss that. I used to watch that show every week. The funny thing about the show was the unscramble board. LOL. They always knew the damn answer. It took only a few seconds for them to do it.

No, but that is awesome though :lol:

I will post more info about once I get the episode of Soul Train

I had read he released a record with 2 songs in '75 or 76'.

Ralph Carter was actually on Soul Train. This episode also included performances by The Pointer Sisters and the B.T. Express and aired on October 4, 1975. And he is a good singer. Makes you wonder if she should have kept recording or did he just do it for the publicity of Good Times. Either way, he Rocked!

How were you able to find out that it was aired On October 4, 1975?

I don't remember seeing him on Soul Train but I do remember seeing one of his LP's a dusties shop I frequent. I was too scared to buy though. I do remeber seeing Lawrence Hilton Jacobs on soul train when he came out with a LP. I remember because while he was singing he kept looking in the camera! Nobody else did that! They always look at the people in the audience.

As far as that scramble board. Those people needed to win in order too keep up their hairdos, it was always Johnson products from what I remember. :D

Did Ralph go to a particular high school or get tutored on the set? Where did he go to college at?

I remember seeing him on American Bandstand. Where I was living we didn't get soul train. And I remember Lawrence Hilton Jacobs, too. :talk:

What do you mean you din't get soul train where you lived??? I'm confused-lol SoulTrain wasaire on indepedent local stations all over the U.S. I thought

Soul Train with Don Cornelius (name?) was splashed all over the waves when I was a little kid. I thought it was still on today exxcept it seems to be very very hard to find. I liked Solid Gold because it was so cheesy. Lawrence Jacobs sang too? Oh boy, and I thought Patty Duke albums were bad!!!

Soul Train should be on your local WB or UPN station or any other local station in your area.

I live in Canada. At that time (in the 70's) I was living in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. Soul Train did not aire in Canadian cities. That's why I caught them all on American Bandstand. :cool: You see, American Bandstand did aire here. :lol:

But I understand that you are talking about reruns airing now on cable tv. Still, we don't get UPN or WB unless we order the cable seperately for that but I was speaking about back in the day when Soul Train was actually taping, you dig?

That's what they need to show now, old 70's reruns of soul train! That would be tight! Even though I was born in 75, I still would love to see them dance back then with those afros. The most I remember was in that movie, Crooklyn, when they would show little snippets of it. :cool:

That's Why I plan to get the Soul Train with Ralph Carter in July. I'm interested in seeing the Soul Train Line Dance from 75 too

Is there anyway to order old Soul Train Episodes, It would be nice to see them on DVD. :confused:

It will be two eps. One with Michael from Good Times and The other one with Michael Jackson doing the robot dance

That would be cool! Thanks.

You are getting old 70's eps of Soul Train? Decent! I only have one with the original commercials intact. The guest host is Richard Pryor and one of the commercials feature Jimmie Walker advertising the DYN NO MITE kids radio/tape recorder. Another good one is Don Cornelius doing an ad spot for for one of the name brand sodas in which some young child gets a scholarship and the expiration for date of entry was for 12-30-75. It was funny to see that. Let me know when you get them.

Wow that's cool.
