Thank you Mr. Cornelius for giving me something to look forward to on Saturday mornings. Peace and blessings to your family.

In late 70's and 80's brought back so much memories when talking about soul train. I remember spending the weekend at my granny's house hurrying to clean up and eat breakfast to be able to jam and be anxious to see the line up of stars presented and dancing and singing along with my cousins and aunts.
Thank you Mr Cornelius for bringing black families together and feeling proud of black culture.

Yea!!! I actually have a chance to voice my condolences to a man who was a force to be reckoned with. Thanks for all the good soul music Mr. Cornelius! It meant a lot to me every Saturday morning tuning in and taking a ride on (Soultrain)the hippest trip in America.

I grew up watching you until the show ended... Us as kids use to love when Saturday morning would get here so we could spend our morning watching Soul Train

My condolences to the family. He was admitted by all young ones, in his day
Many grew up watching Soul Train, dancing Long with his audiences. We miss it. May the God of Comfort, continue to comfort the family.

Watching Soul Train right now, the World is a ghetto, Don Cornelius is and was a genius. He really brought whites and Blacks together with that wonderful voice, and brought super talent to America. Luther Vandross what a great voice and wow what awesome music!!! Been watching Soul Train for years I'm 62 now. Thank you Don Cornelius for all the fantastic music! And don't forget to use Afro Sheen! Soooouul Train!! Here comes Rufus.....

Rip don

My condolence to mr.cornelius family he will be missed

For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones (Hebrews 6:10). Don will never be forgotten for all the work did for the music community and especially those encouraged and inspired in this persons' care. May God continue to strengthen the family and friends in these “times hard to deal with” (2Tim 3:1), especially without a beloved one such as Don Cornelius.

"To Don's Family, He introduced some of the hottest artists of all times and encrypted history with a renaissance like no other."

YOUR STYLE, MOTIVATION , WILLINGNESS, AND CHARISMA, COUPLED WITH YOUR BUSINESS SAVVY, ARE JUST SOME OF THE REASONS, WE WILL NEVER... FORGET IN OUR HEARTS AND MIND SABRINA G. AND FAM

There exist companions disposed to break one another to pieces, but there exists a friend sticking closer than a brother. Prov. 18:24
They say the eyes are the window to the soul of a person…Don's eyes reflected true compassion and empathy for all those he met on Soul Train. He was a wonderful host for us the public but especially for the entertaining guest he received. Soothing us with his melodious baritone voice and drawing us into his world of Rhythm and Blues…You will be remembered well for helping others to make through one more week of Life, Love and SOOUULLL!

love,peace,-n-soul

Thank you MR DON CORNELIUS for all those SOUL TRAIN SATURDAY MORNING. May the great GOD in heaven give the family peace at this sad time.

he memories of "Don Cornelius" are everlasting in my heart. My sympathies are with you. (I always will remember at the Soul Train Night Club, I got a chance to dance and take pictures. I’m also, a big fan of the TV Show Production). He was a wonderful human being. May he rest in peace,

Bro.Don,
You are what the phrase "BLACK POWER" means. ECONOMIC POWER, CONTROL, SOCIAL CONTROL over our COMMUNITIES. Until WE understand the concept that YOU put forward, WE will always BE under the CONTROL of OTHER PEOPLE. As aspiring entrepreneur, even as a youngster, I knew I wanted to be an owner, CEO, President of my own thing. Whatever it was going to be. To this day you're 1 of 4 men that have inspired me. It sounds simple now, but some people are not old enough the social restrictions that were LAW,& the non-verbal rules, such as RED-LINING,etc. @ the time you decided to venture out. As you once stated "Soul Brotha #1" when he was your show, kept asking you "...who's backing you brotha?..." He couldn't phantom, @ that time, it was inconceivable that a Black man could a POWER BROKER and OWN THE WHOLE BROKERAGE FIRM. However, as an North African proverb says "ENDURANCE PIERCES MARBLE".
THANK YOU for your service you provided to help teach us how to LOVE ourselves. And others how to APPRECIATE our culture.
I meditate & pray that your SPIRIT is @ PEACE. WE LOVE YOU, and may the LOVE you have for US continue in SPIRIT.
"FREEDOM IS A ROAD SELDOM TRAVELED BY THE MULTITUDE"-Frederick Douglass

In a minute,

Thank you Don, for making Soul Train "the Hippest Trip in America"! May your soul be part of God's Family for years to come!
Rest In Peace!

Please accept my condolence for the loss of your loved one. I grew up watching Soul Train and it was the highlight of my Saturday mornings. May the God who provides all comfort, comfort the family and friends at this time.

Don C.

That unique BARITONE VOICE will be missed. May God Bless you and your family.

RIP

To The Family:

May the Love and Comfort of Family and Friends get you through the sad times of missing Don.

He will be forever remembered.

Love,

Miss you soo much Don!! You brought so much pride and unity to our people, always a positive outlook, showed off our beauty and style, and who could Max and relax, style and profile and come chillin like a villain better than the "DON" himself!! And that voice...i dont care where you were,,when you heard the baritone, you knew something good was coming. May God continue to bless the Cornelius Family; please let your memories of our soul brother comfort you in your time of sorrow and make you smile again. Thank you for sharing him with us for so long. Eternally grateful...VaNessa

The family of Mr. Don Cornelius has my deepest and warmest sympathy. Having grown up in Gary, Indiana, I followed Soul Train from its inception. Don Cornelius helped give the nation unity and I am grateful to him for that. One of my favs about Mr. Cornelius was the way he dressed. He absolutely styled! You are resting now Mr. Don Cornelius "you can bet your last money" on that one. We thank you for being a pioneer and we thank you for being you!

I loved Soul train from its early conception on TV. Even my children would eagerly finish their chores so they could see this wonderful program. The latest styles and dances would be copied. Loved the various artists that appeared on the show. Mr. Cornelius you will be missed by every family that grew up in this era. To the family our deepest sympathy. We loved him dearly!

Deepest Sympathy to the Family of Mr Cornelius.
HE WILL TRULY BE MISS

Thank you for our Soul Train legacy. Soul Train will forever be part of our heritage. Don is a standard of excellence to be emulated. You showed the world our dancing, music, singers, song writers are all beautiful. May your loved ones find comfort and peace in the promises of our Lord Jesus Christ. I will always cherish the memories of joy you brought into our homes.

I remember when Soul Train came out back in the 70s. In New York, we would watch you and American Bandstand back to back. I was ever grateful for it because this was the pre video days. other than the radio, Right On, Ebony and other magazines there, you could actually look on Soul Train, catch the latest dances and see the groups. That was a blessing to black people for over 35 years, a seed planted by this great man, and I am eternally grateful to Don Cornelius for that. When I heard of your passing, I wanted to jump up and say man, Don Cornelius is dead but I'm almost 50, most of the kids around here, they don't know and it grieved me. Grieved me to know a man who thought of such a show is now gone. I salute and thank you Don. Peace.

Rest in Peace my brother.

R.I.P. Mr. Cornelius. You will truly be missed.

may god bless you and your family in this time of sorrow love peace and soul rest in peace

My condolences, To Family and Friends may the God of comfort bring you peace.

I was sorry to hear that Don Cornelius passed. He was the voice of a generation. He said and did what so many before him did not have the courage or the guts to do, and for that he will be forever remembered as a visionary, and pioneer. My prayers go out to his family in this time of sorrow, and may God continue to be with the family. Always

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.
