REST IN PEACE : Don Cornelius September 27, 1936 - February 1, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Cornelius http://www.SoulTrain.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This video was recorded on February 10, 2014 at the Harold Washington Library in downtown Chicago. http://www.chipublib.org/branch/details/library/harold-washington The participants were: Ericka Blount Danois - author of "Love, Peace and Soul - Behind the Scenes of America's Favorite Dance Show Soul Train" http://www.facebook.com/lovepeaceandsoul Gene Chandler - the vocalist forever immortalized as the "Duke of Earl", his smash hit from 1962 Marshall Thompson - vocalist from the 'Chi-Lites' ( "Have You Seen Her", "Oh Girl"... ) Richard Steele - radio host & deejay, correspondent and music maven for decades in Chicago (a.k.a. 'The Real Richard Steele') George O'Hare - civil rights activist, advertising executive and early "Soul Train" proponent Jerome Simmons - writer, official photographer for the Chicago version of "Soul Train" NOTE: When you buy "Love, Peace and Soul", please do so at your local independent book store, even though it will cost you a couple of bucks more than via the on-line behemoths. The thought of a world with no indie bookstores is unbearably bleak.
