    Song: Soul Train 76 (Get On Board)
    Song by: The Soul Train Gang

    In the early 1970s, the dancers on Don Cornelius' hit television program Soul Train were called the Soul Train Gang. But they became the Soul Train Dancers in 1975, when Cornelius and Dick Griffey co-founded Soul Train Records (later SOLAR Records), home to Lakeside, Shalamar, the Whispers and others—and decided to name an R&B vocal quintet The Soul Train Gang.

    Consisting of two brothers' from Cincinnati, Ohio; Gerald Brown & Terry Brown; Judy Jones, Patricia Williamson (replaced by Denise Smith in 1976) and Hollis Pippin, the Soul Train Gang recorded its debut album, Don Cornelius Presents the Soul Train Gang, in 1975. Produced by Cornelius and Griffey, the LP included "Soul Train '75," one of the many themes from Soul Train.

    But I like Soul Train 76 (Get On Board) by The Soul Train Gang. To me, it was a better theme. It was a theme that painted a picture in my mind what Soul Train was really all about.

    Coming up next: The Sound of Philadelphia featuring The Three Degrees.
