Don Cornelius, founder and host of the long running dance show Soul Train, took his own life last Tuesday night. Soul Train "introduced many famous performers to American audiences, including Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson and Aretha Franklin." I had intended to do a remedy featuring Earth, Wind And Fire, so I thought I'd combine the two. They've been one of my favorite bands for a long time, and their stuff still holds up. They were frequently featured on Soul Train.
Hang onto your hats and put your dancing shoes on. If this stuff doesn't get your feet moving, nothing ever will. And check out those astonishing 1970s outfits
