a true creative pioneer and host of one of the hippest shows to ever
be broadcast on television, don cornelius was found dead in his
los angeles home earlier today.
growing up, watching don cornelius preside over soul train was
like peering into another dimension that couldn't be found in the
mean streets of my hometown of dubuque, iowa.
i was turned on to sly, michael, the commodores, the floaters...
you name it.
my older brother and i used to try our best at impersonating that deep,
silky smooth voice until we were blue in the face.
we never did get it right, but we tried.
what he did for all the artists and fans and popular culture as a whole...
we all owe him our most sincere thanks and our deepest gratitude.
