Valentines for Don Cornelius - The Complete Series


Valentines for Don Cornelius - The Complete Series
(SoulTrain.com)

By Mr. Joe Walker

In the fall of 2011, Full Force member Bowlegged Lou and I began ochestrating idea, the plan was to create a SoulTrain.com exclusive all-star tribute to Soul Train creator, Don Cornelius. As it began to take shape I came up with its title, "Valentines for Don Cornelius", set to unveil during Black History Month/Valentines Day 2012. Sadly, Cornelius passed Feb. 2 of '12. I continued the tribute, which carried on as star-studded feature articles in Feb. of 2013 and 14. I've compiled the entire series here. Enjoy!
