This for the Vocal+Assist group challenge.
***************************************
Disco dreams crowd my brain
with Don Cornelious and The Soul Train.
Riding the bus cost thirteen cents,
and you can forget about the white picket fence.
We were happy but poor and didn't even care,
when all the talk was about Gladys Knight's hair.
She could really get down and boogeyed all night.
Midnight Train to Georgia was a Hit, am I right?
Grandma's tasty brittle with macadamia,
couldn't outshine the strength of Beatlemania.
Their songs still played everywhere,
as radio stations flooded the air.
Afros, dreadlocks and even corn rows,
lives on today, as everyone knows.
Kojak, Match Game and yes, Charlie brown.
Not much on the tele, only 4 networks to be found.
The exorcist, The Sting, Enter the dragon and many more,
were playing at the drive-in or the theater next door.
If I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing,
except practice all day to become the reigning Dancing King.
Please oh please Don't take away my Disco Dream...
Thanks for reading, and now time for a treat. This is a quick look back at the Soul Train dance line. Featuring the music of the O'Jays "I love Music." Some of the dance moves and attire are Epic-ally funny. Enjoy...
