Chicago's Got Soul
A recent book by Chris Lehman sparked an article by the Reader about the local history of Chicago's Soul Train years.
From August 17, 1970, to June 11, 1976, local Soul Train ran every weekday after school on WCIU, and reruns continued to air every Friday until July 27, 1979. And for over 1,000 episodes, Chicago’s African-American youth turned to Soul Train to see top R & B musicians, leading black political figures, and maybe most important, themselves.
