Soul Train

From Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of the award–winning hip-hop group the Roots, comes this vibrant book commemorating the legacy of television’s Soul Train.

Foreword by Gladys Knight

Preface by Nick Cannon

Soul Train: The Music, Dance, and Style of a Generation celebrates the television show that was a two-decade cultural phenomenon from the ’70s through the ’90s, launching the careers of artists such as Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, Whitney Houston, Lenny Kravitz, LL Cool J, and Aretha Franklin.

Questlove reveals the remarkable story of the captivating program, and his text is paired with more than 350 photographs of the show's most memorable episodes and the larger-than-life characters who defined it: the great host Don Cornelius, the extraordinary musicians, and the people who lived the phenomenon from dance floor.
