The hippest trip in America : Soul train and the evolution of culture and style / Nelson George.

When it debuted in October 1971, seven years after the Civil Rights Act, Soul train boldly went where no variety show had gone before, showcasing the cultural preferences of young African-Americans and the sounds that defined their lives: R&B, funk, jazz, disco, and gospel music.
