* I asked a friend of mine this week if he ever went to the Soul Train TV studio back when the show was broadcast every day from Chicago. “Of course,” he said. The show was absolutely the place to be on the South Side, so he was a regular.

Soul Train eventually switched to a weekly format and host Don Cornelius then moved it to Los Angeles. But Big Don is coming back to the city on Labor Day for an anniversary concert

Pay homage to 40 years of Soul Train – the Chicago-based, longest-running, nationally syndicated television show – with a spectacular Labor Day concert at Millennium Park’s Jay Pritzker Pavilion. The evening’s honored guest is none other than Don Cornelius, Soul Train’s founder and host. Legendary R&B and soul artists, including Jerry “The Iceman” Butler, The Impressions, the Chi-Lites, the Emotions and Gene Chandler, take the stage with an orchestra of veteran musical collaborators led by the acclaimed conductor/arranger Tom Tom Washington.

* Everybody was doing the “Soul Train Line” back in the 70s

Don’t you know that it’s time to get on board
