Coming soon to a TV station near you is Soul Train, the brainchild of Chicago radio announcer Don Cornelius. This televised “dance club” first aired last year on Chicago television station WCIU-TV, and became an immediate hit with black viewers. Now, he is taking his concept into national syndication, with a new hour-long segment every weekday afternoon. Soul Train will feature a variety of top R&B, soul, and funk musical acts, and the best dancers anywhere. Cornelius says it’s more than a “black American Bandstand,” as his goal is for the show to reflect positively on Afro-American culture. You can bet that Cornelius will soon feature an appearance by Roberta Flack, the rising star who is featured on this issue’s free “Collector’s Item” pull-out poster. Roberta Flack

We have therefore gone back to press with a special run that we are making available for those of you who missed out on these first issues.
