Soul Train History Book Presents: The Maestro, Barry White
April 24, 2012

On May 24, 1975, television viewers who tuned into Soul Train were treated to a special salute to the most popular recording artist of that time, Barry White.

White, who was dubbed “The Maestro,” personified what a true artist really was. He not only sang his own material, but he also wrote, produced, and played on much of his music, backed by The Love Unlimited Orchestra. He also had a female singing trio, Love Unlimited, who not only sang backup vocals on many of his songs, but also recorded their own albums.

Like many artists who have had entire Soul Train episodes dedicated to them such as James Brown, Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5, Al Green and others, White was a legend in his own time who was deserving of a one hour spotlight on his many talents.

White first appeared on Soul Train at its October 14, 1973 taping, performing his hits “I’ve Got So Much To Give” and “Never, Never Gonna Give You Up.” To be technical, his first “indirect appearance” on Soul Train was at a June 1972 taping when Love Unlimited performed their first hit, the classic “Walking In The Rain With the One I Love”, in which White is heard speaking to one of the group’s members, Glodean James, over the phone.

White would go on to appear many times on Soul Train, including a memorable special episode aired November 19, 1977. Taped at White’s palatial mansion, ihe gave a tour of his home, was interviewed by Don Cornelius and performed several songs including the sensual “It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Next to Me.” White even appeared on a Soul Train episode in 1981 performing tracks with his wife Glodean from their duet album Barry & Glodean.

White and Cornelius were the best of friends, so when legendary soul singer Joe Tex died in 1982 Cornelius called on his friend to sit with him and discuss Tex’s career in a special Soul Train tribute to Tex.

Another of White’s memorable performances was with fellow legendary soul artist Isaac Hayes when they performed the romantic “Dark And Lovely” in 1992–the only time that these two artists with similar singing styles performed together making this a rare, classic performance indeed.

White last appeared on Soul Train in 1994 performing his huge comeback hit “Practice What You Preach” and the follow-up single “Come On.”

But it was White’s 1975 appearance on Soul Train, which was like a mini-concert of sorts, that showcased him near the peak of his popularity.

The whole Soul Train set was slightly revamped to accommodate White’s 40-piece Love Unlimited Orchestra. The program had never had this many live musicians on the show, ever; not even James Brown had that many musicians in his JBs band when they appeared on the program. This would be the last time an elaborate set up was done for a guest on Soul Train featuring a live orchestra.

To capitalize on the huge popularity of “the Maestro,” the neon Soul Train sign was replaced with “Barry White” and “Love Unlimted” neon signs placed against the flickering train tracks on the stage’s backdrop. This episode could indeed be dubbed “Barry’s Train.”

Everything about the performances–the vocals and instruments–was live, not lip-synched or performed to pre-recorded tracks. This was an opportunity to see art at its best.

White, in his trademark permed hairstyle, performed three solo tracks: the classics “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love Babe,” a number one Soul and pop smash from September 1974; his current single “What Am I Gonna Do With You”, which became a number one soul hit three weeks before this episode aired; and “You’re My First, My Last, My Everything”, a huge number one soul and number two pop hit from January 1975.

Love Unlimited performed the gorgeous “Share A Little Love In Your Heart” from their 1974 album In Heat, as well as their number one soul hit “I Belong To You.”

White also conducted the Love Unlimited Orchestra on their funky instrumental “Satin Soul.”

Under the direction of Sid Garris, who was also White’s manager at the time, the Love Unlimited Orchestra performed the 1974 smash “Love’s Theme”, with vocals by Love Unlimited. The original recording of this track did not have vocals. Vocals were added to this track when it appeared on In Heat.

As a bonus to what was already a special show, Cornelius introduced The Maestro Players, a little league baseball team from Southeast Los Angeles that White sponsored.

White sadly passed away in July 2003. At the time of White’s death, Cornelius, who referred to White as a “true master”, said, “Love was a very important aspect of his life. He wasn’t just singing for your mate and your bedroom, he was singing and writing for his own bedroom”.

This classic Soul Train episode with White, Love Unlimited, and his Love Unlimited Orchestra, along with all of the music he sang, wrote, produced and arranged, helped to solidify White as the all around consummate artist.

White’s place in music history could best be summed up by this statement by Don Cornelius after White’s death.

“There was no match for Barry White. His music is just going to live forever.”

Indeed, the Maestro will continue to play on.

Diese Hip Hop Flummies in Palace of Groove gehen mir fürchterlich auf den Zünder. Für mich hat das nix mit Soul zu tun, einfach nur nervig, hab den Ton ausgemacht.

[rip.michael]

Soul Train wäre wohl nicht so lange gelaufen (bis 2006) wenn die sendereihe nicht auch die jeweils gängigen musikrichtungen der fortschreitenden jahre mit aufgenommen hätte. Das spiegelt sich auch wieder in der liste der gastgeber von Soul Train im lauf von 35 jahren.

Don Cornelius als Soul Train Line Dancer mit Mary Wilson von den Surpremes

Soul Train History Book: Don Cornelius Goes Down the Soul Train Line

Forty years ago this month, a once in a lifetime event occurred on the Soul Train television show. Don Cornelius, the program’s host, made his one and only appearance down the famous Soul Train line.

The episode that this landmark event occurred was on a 1973 special salute to The Supremes. At that time, the lineup consisted of Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson and Lynda Lawrence.

Cornelius did not plan on going down the Soul Train line on that day’s taping; it was pretty spontaneous.

During an interview with Mary Wilson, she expressed to Cornelius about how she would “love to go down that Soul Train line.” She had asked him personally if she could dance with him then he said, “Yeah, you can dance with me but not on television.” But then he relented and asked the Soul Train Gang, “You think I can come up that Soul Train line?” The gang erupted in approving howls and cheers. He then introduced the Soul Train line song “Doing it to Death” by Fred Wesley & the JBs as all the dancers did their polished and eye-catching routines. And then the moment occurred: Cornelius and Wilson came down the line and the Soul Train Gang burst out in screams, cheers, applause and some laughter in seeing laid back and super cool Don Cornelius strut his stuff going down the line. It appeared he was trying to do the Funky Chicken at one point, causing more laughter.

Cornelius went down the line a second time with Lynda Lawrence and Jean Terrell. Cornelius was very smooth doing his thing with Lynda and Jean, but maybe he got too cocky when he attempted to do a split or something but sort of tripped and almost fell as he exited himself out of the Soul Train line amidst the Soul Train Gang’s uproarious laughter.

When the Soul Train line was complete, Cornelius was back at his podium with Jean Terrell. The Soul Train Gang applauded him thunderously for his efforts.

“How did you like those moves I put on you?” Cornelius asked Terrell. “When you reach my age, you can’t be out here doing a lot of jumping around.” Terrell shrugged off the comment. “Well, you haven’t reached my age yet.” Terrell just smiled and stated, “No comment.”

Cornelius then thanked Mary Wilson for giving him the opportunity to dance on his show for the very first (and last) time.

On the documentary Hippest Trip in America, Cornelius reflected on his one-time Soul Train line appearance, “I was never the worst dancer at a party,” he said. “I was one of the guys who could throw down.”

Soul Train dance coordinator Pam Brown jokingly stated in the documentary, “It’s hard to dance and come down the line in a forward fashion. Don found that out. He said cut and he never tried it again.”

Recalling Cornelius’ Soul Train line moment, Soul Train dancer Tyrone Proctor recalled, “We (the dancers) were stunned but we were elated at the same time. It was the first time any of the Soul Train Gang got to see Don dance.”

Other than going down the Soul Train line, Cornelius rarely danced in public. Soul Train dancer Patricia Davis got Cornelius to do the bump dance craze with her at a Soul Train Christmas party once, but he usually was just an observer in later years when he would frequent clubs, parties or social gatherings.

When I danced on the show, the closest thing I had seen to Cornelius doing any kind of dancing was when he would put his hands deep in his pockets and sort of slightly bounce up and down as he watched the girls go down the Soul Train line on the monitors as he would cue the cameraman to cut back and forth from the girls’ line to the guys’ line. However, he would wait a minute or so to cue the cameraman to switch to the guys’ line since he was obviously enjoying what he was seeing on the girls’ line.

Cornelius was a good sport going down the Soul Train line and had referred to that one time line appearance as a “classic piece of tape” during an interview on Good Morning America several years ago. Although future guest hosts of the show and permanent new host Shemar Moore danced on the program and went down the Soul Train line, there will never be anything like seeing the program’s original host “getting his groove on.” It was a moment that, to echo the words of Cornelius, was a stone gas that people could bet their last money on.

Indeed, the sight of the super cool, suave and reserved Don Cornelius strutting his stuff down the Soul Train line is truly a rare OMG moment that will forever be a cherished part of Soul Train’s history.
