We were, 😁❤️damn lucky.. Life is just, too, complicated now... Xo, from a Jersey girl, in athens✌️😀

Cartoons then soul train

👍👍👍👍

Back when ‘looking good’ was still in style. Not ‘showing the goods’.

I think that's how don wanted it

We wanted to look classy (even if we weren't). It was the era of dressing for success. Ah, the good old days.

Oh yeah great comment !! Hi from 2024

Dress up for the club. Highlight of the week .

😆 I do that at daves when shopping

Next time, do not hold back. Do it and others might join in.

Lmao

🤣🤣🤣

If I have seen you , I might not have joined you zombies have better moves than I 😂 but I would had the biggest smile seeing you dance and being free 🕺💃 Enjoy your next shopping trip .

Yes. She had A unique voice. ❤😊

What a rock star she was !!!

Before greed and the wealthy ruined our country

@@ww2remembered983ok?

Oh honey, it has gotten so much worse...

We had such beautiful memories in the 1980’s . It was a very similar time in history just like the roaring 1920’s before WW2. People were actually very happy, or the happiest we could be.

@@DaisyAnnabelle65 Do you think the third War come now?

1:00😃

@@augustinedebosson9343Yes its been here, since gangster rap came out and drill crap music!

aren’t you the same generation who raised todays kids?

Zombies have better moves 😉 Then today's kids .

​@@LoLovesUEach generation develops its own popular dance styles. What kids are taught how to dance by their parents? Lol. If they were, they'd be dancing like these people. If I learned to dance from my mother and father, I would have been doing "The Twist", The Mashed Potato , The Pony an possibly the FoxTrot. That wouldn't have been to cool in the 1980s and 90s😂 Major fail on the blame game.

@@fishfood8719 well either way it’s lame to be hating on kids having fun as a grown adult. it’s pathetic honestly and just sad like mind your business

When is the last time you went to a dance club?

I really like the guy's outfit at 0:46. That's some good color coordination in a scheme you don't see anymore

No Ass's exposed on females OR MALE'S 👌

@TRuth Be told huh?

Me too! Time does fly!

Amen! I used to go to the clubs in 4” heels (I was over 6’ in heels) and hair touching Heaven! I would lose my heels along the way, knowing they’d be there when I was ready to go! We could even leave our purses at the table...never thinking they’d be taken (no electronics, few credit cards...and, not much money - incentive to steal low). Good times!

I still dance when the mood strikes. When I'm working around the house I listen to my music from the Swing Era to the early 2000s.

Yes it does. From one grandma to another.

Time is cold!

Because you got souuuuulllllllllllllllllllllllll lol ❤

Soul Train was pure fun! It’ll put the smile back on your face 😁

Because everyone could actually dance then 😂

No phones, just pure fun

Like at 2am at that😅

Therone Dawson and black men.

Patty Larrinaga Amen

Therone Dawson agreed!!!

I bet a lot of these so call black women with good hair texture, light skin and sharp nose are half WHITE and Latina. LOL

Wow almost 40 years ago.

Ha! Ha! Memorizing numbers- "you gonna call me right?" Ha! Ha! "How many numbers you got?" "You got her number noooo!"

Hahaa how did we do it! In so many ways I feel the same as 40 years ago and in so many ways...not

KNOW IT!!!!!!!!🙋🏾‍♀️👊🏾🙋🏾‍♀️👊🏾

Technology has dumbed us down!

They taught us how to dance!

I always look forward on Saturdays..

Yes sir the best of time

Taught me how to dance too

You do realize they came on at the same time, right?

If they made one, id do payments at a 100 pct interest rate

Wif u hun🙋🏾‍♀️

If you find one let me know because I'm going

In the hot tub :)

Bob, I would go also.

They were as fake then as they are now. There's no difference. People are people.

Yes the 80's were a great decade for music.

Great clothing too.i like that MJ thriller gear that breakdancer is wearing.

What?!! No tattooes!?🐍🐲🐉

Yeah, Then people had to unfortunately, grow up. I wish we could have all of the positive times to have stand stills in which that's the only thing we could experience on earth. Just those positive moments in time and nothing else negative.

they're too ashamed of their own hair now, since the 1990s.

Now it's mostly fake hair for the ladies. Tragedy.

Hello Lyanna, How are you doing?

Teena was working until the end too. What a bizarre way to die. Picture frame. You couldn't make it up.

ashley95126 we didn't have no phones we focus on each other

Ashley these people are beautiful. What a joyous time.

The WAY it's supposed 2 be!!!🙋🏾‍♀️

Exactly.

Yup no phones back in the day. I remember getting dressed up to the nines and going to the disco. We danced, laughed and had a great time NO PHONES!❤️🇨🇦

Hello 👋 😊👋

the best artist I ever saw perform live! RIP Teena

Helll yahhh!!!! She was the shittt!😍

Damn. Teena Marie gone too? Sigh.....

most fuckin definitely. all u heard was her talent . never thought of race

The first female rapper!!!! RIP dear Queen

ALL of em. You ain't lyin .

Im a year ahead of you ,and they really were the good old days. Between purple rain, thriller, and this, they had it all covered

You got that right!

@@myopinion6748 Those people were wrong.

People keep saying this crap on every video. Everyone was NOT skinny in the 80's.

Ahhhh the 80’s. When everyone was skinny and happy and we did something really fun called cocaine.

They had hieght and weight requirements on the show dumbass ...ever notice how everybody the same hieght damn near .....even the men....

I think you meant cocaine

@@melissasmith6762 no, not everyone, bubt the percentage of obese was a low figure.

Hello Mary, How are you doing?

I still rock that shit and some. 80's baby over here 4real💯

Metoo!!! I just called out like 3-4 of those chicks outfits and said 'I have that' or 'omg I wore that to...' 1980 baby here, stayin' fly!

What do you mean Tina Marie died??

@@shawbrothersgirl2740 day after Christmas 2010 at age 54 she died..back in 2004 and a hotel room a picture fell on her head causing her seizures occasionally for the rest of her life..she had a tonic clonic seizure a grand mal seizure which is similar to people with epilepsy prior one month before or just after Thanksgiving in 2010.. Los Angeles coroner found no signs of foul Play or anything and I believe her death was ruled just simply natural causes

I was about to post that❤️

@@truckerkevthepaidtourist so unfair ☹

Me too bud!!!!!!

😉

Same 😂

good news is we have the memories to cherish

Me too! There was some seriously hot chocolate I would have loved to try out back then.

Agreed

Today's world is too evil !!!

Today's world is too necessarily

That didn't happen. Back in the 80's black people was enslaved. They couldn't dance in public. Don't y'all know nothing?

@@josmotherman591 EDUACATION IS THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE. January 31, 1865 Congress passed the 13th amendment to abolish slavery. The amendment was ratified December 6, 1865. It abolished slavery and involuntary servitude. The definition of ratify is to give consent to , or to sign.

This was music we had a blast to!!!! Memories!! I had this 45 I'd play over and over!!

Tell me!!!

And zero steroids.

i know right? 👌 lol

And the outfits had 100% of it lolol

Thats right !! I'm 61 now but back then I danced the night away. Now I dance but sitting down on my chair. ( atharities) So enjoy your youth.

Yep! I am one of those people as well. Time sure goes fast!

Or dead from AIDS

@@SpiritDonkey 😂 damn

@@virgilacevedo 😂😂😂

(( There is much one could write about this! Ah'd need to double-check but, think Teena Marie was STUPID talented. An arranger who could write songs and read music. She's another hidden great

Danced great, acted great, dressed great, in shape great.. far cry from the music and dancing today. ST was always a great and classy show to watch Saturday AM.

@@getlost3346YAS, "A class act" and most never knew her musical prowess. Ms Tina could arrange, write songs produce and Play instruments. She was close with Rick James and was a most wonderful soul and sistah! RIP Miss Teena Marie***

Who are you, the fucking fashion police?

.. ya just got me back here...and ah'm almost gonna cry. {{-|~>>>•

I didnt learn till later not to try to dance to the rhythm. Maybe that's from taking a little ballet and tap lessons

That's you at 1:20 isn't it? 🤔

Not necessary, remember a lot of them were from New York City…they learn in the street.

Exactly. Don't get me wrong now, the women were sexy as u can't believe, but they still had an air of class about them

1:20 yeah, real classy lol

I was thinking the same thing..class with style.♡

Make America great again is not a call for slavery it’s a call for times like these. Don’t believe the liberal narrative. America had great things in the past. If we could just bring back the harmony from the 60s, the free spirit of the 70s, the fun spirit of the 80s and the social awakening of the 90s we then will be in a great place again. There is hope in our future when we reflect positively on our past.

Brandon : Exactly!!!

Hi Darlene, how's your day going with you?

The term... please CORRECT mi if I'm wrong... "reversed discrimination"... the record company DDNT want 2 put her on her OWN album cover cause she was WHITE, I seen that on an interview

So totally agree

Not by anyone with taste. I love how on her earlier releases they tried to disguise that she was white.... except black people didn't actually care.

Noooo we FULLY appreciated Teena! 🙏🏾 But I understand your point. R.I.P. to Lady T 💐

Only those who did not know of her.

Music was such a big part of our lives. Grew up at all the Disco's on Long Island NY. We didn't need gyms. We had the dance floor. Days of Gold.💛 💃🇺🇸🗽

Exactly I still have all of my old soul train tapes on vhs. the quality still good

OMG, yes!

Heather Hunter

Her outfit is cute too!

@@geraldwarren6438 You can see her without the outfir.

Mesmerising lady. Ooooh to have a time machine and meet her.

Krystal She Poppin : I’m in my 50s and I miss it. I was in high school when this came out. Soooo much fun!!!

We all missed this as well as the music... it just can't be duplicated.

The 80s was the best. Good ole days

I grew up in the 80s as a young kid and watch this joy pass me buy and I wake up in this terrible 2020. I got a glimpse and then it was take away from me.

U did. No gangs..cussing..disrespect to women..no sagging of pant..Fun time.

OMG miss those days

I hear ya!

no one knows who she is. She looks like a regular.

@@Ihavetruth22 Thanks for the reply, yeah she was definitely a good looking dancer.

I agree , the woman at 1:40 has the IT factor

So so true! Probably why she's the thumbnail... She's a very beautiful woman! The three prior to her were very nice as well!

@@bionicprince yup I definitely agree 👍

This is what every generation says about the previous one you're not special the old people of your time hated you too

@@mjrhmekssh - I disagree. Even the folks in their 40s and 50s were getting down with the youngsters. There were many artists in that age range that were cracking Top 40 songs in the 80s.

80's was the shit!!! I just caught the end of it. Life was much funner and in the 90's everybody turned into gangsters.

The mid-80's on was when music started to suck - and it still does.

@@dme1016 - There was phenomenal music coming out in the mid 80s on. Congrats to Janet Jackson getting inducted into the RRHOF. She was just getting started in the mid 80s.

Hello Lisa, How are you doing?

There was a whole lot going on in that segment 😅

dont tell me she came on all the time !!!

She’s so fly

@@VaniFoxOfficial There is nothing idiotic about being proud of your race/nationality. But, I respect opinion. You being white has nothing to do with my comment or the video. Do you see the hypocrisy? Lol have a awesome day lovely white lady.

Very hot!

I remember it too. I didn’t like Mid-80s fashion at. all. Boxy shapes, long sweaters...ugh. I love the mid-to-late 70s much better.
