latimes: ‘Soul Train’ a special snapshot of L.A.: Of the era’s local dance shows, it was in a class of its own, says Gale Holland. What many people don’t know is that the culture of “Soul Train” was largely the culture of black Los Angeles. A onetime Chicago DJ, Cornelius started “Soul Train” there in 1970 but the next year came to Los Angeles to put the show into national syndication. The first “Soul Train” dancers came from local high schools: Dorsey, Locke and Crenshaw. Their sometimes outlandish outfits were pure ’70s L.A. streetwear.
