The loss of a legend....Don Cornelius.

I was going to start off this, the first day of Black History Month, with another post....but the news of Don Cornelius' untimely passing struck deep in my spirit. He was responsible for a piece of our history that will live on forever. How many of us would tune in on a weekly basis to see what artists would be featured, to figure out the scramble board before the dancers could (even wonder why some of them took so long to figure it out), look for our favorite dancer or the long haired oriental girl and especially see who was going to be in the "Soul Train Line".  Those memories have been captured and stored on youtube for our enjoyment. And now, with the passing of the iconic Don Cornelius, our minds will be continually echoing that famous ending...
"And you can bet your last money, it’s ALL gonna be a stone blast, honey….and, as always, in parting..we wish you LOVE….PEACE and SOUL!!!!

R.I.P. Don Cornelius

  1. GOD has truly blessed us with Mr. Corneli.us while he was with us on earth. Mr. Cornelius did provide many avenues for the black community. The entertainers and musicians that he showcased on his show benefitted all of us. Thank you Mr. Cornelius for sharing with us all.
