It don't get no better than The Jackson 5 & Cher!

You capped off a great day Para. Just awesome.

Funny. I used to watch and then hide in the bathroom and practice my 'moves' in front of the mirror.

Ah yes. I too used to think I had the moves on the dance floor, and thank god everyday that no one had video back in the 70's and 80's.

There was another show that I watched too, Dance Fever with Denny Terrio. I thought if I could imitate him I'd have all the ladies. Never would I have expected that I could be so wrong about that.

Man, seems like it was another lifetime ago...
I still can’t dance
But I got married and got to use my tongue and hands

Yes even calorie efficient black men were also kings of the dance floor as this old video shows and brings back fond memories !!! Enjoy and God Bless

Soul Train is responsible for my exquisite fashion sense and fabulous dance moves in my high school days.

My father was a racist, and quite perturbed about me listening to "jungle bunny" music back in the day.

Boy, do I feel old.
I see the 70s, 80s, & 90s mentioned. How about the 50 & 60s??
Bandstand started in 52 although I started watching in the late 50s.
By the 70s I was an "adult" working my life away to raise children.

As a kid I remember watching AB. I didn't watch it religiously though. I always enjoyed listening to Motown and Funk. Just seemed like a lot of fun. Forgot about dancing like that though.
