Soul Train - win one of 10 3 DVD box sets!

Time Life commemorates the 40th Anniversary of Soul Train with "The Best of Soul Train" 3-DVD boxed set hitting retail August 31 for the very first time, in celebration of the culturally significant American institution that became a national launch pad for showcasing the latest names in Soul music, outrageous fashion and hip dances - making Soul music a mainstream global genre.

"The Best of Soul Train" presents an amazing and rare collection of performances from the Soul Train archives, many of which haven't been seen in over 30 years, including exclusive performances from Soul Train's most acclaimed era (1971 - 1979) by The Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye, The O'Jays, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Sly & The Family Stone and more. There are 50 performances covered in eight hours of classic Soul, from the longest first-run series in syndication history (on air from 1970-2006) along with more than three hours of bonus material. Viewers will re-live the original dance styles and scene-stealing fashions from the heart of the `70's as well as favorite moments from the Soul Train Dance Line to the beloved Soul Train Scramble Board.

Also included are on-air interviews with the artists, classic Soul Train dancers, and some vintage commercials for Ultra Sheen and Afro Sheen products. This special collection features the best moments from several original Soul Train episodes totaling 50 songs and performances, with more than three hours of bonus material including exclusive interviews with Don Cornelius, Smokey Robinson, Jody Watley and others.

"Time Life is proud to bring back one of the most enduring and culturally relevant shows in television history with "The Best of Soul Train" says Michael Mitchell, Time Life VP, Marketing/Strategic Partnerships. "Soul Train was `must see' television in black households across America in the 70's and it also had strong crossover appeal. Soul Train fans have been waiting for years to re-live this exciting time!"

Soul Train founder, Don Cornelius says, "We're extremely proud of Soul Train's innovative history and legacy, and we look forward to sharing this with multiple generations to come. 'The Best of Soul Train' offers a rare, insiders view of the golden era of Soul, marking a classic time and place which can never be duplicated. As always - Love, Peace and Soul!"
