Soul Train host and producer Don Cornelius died this week of a self-inflicted gunshot. He was 75 and in poor health. His passing has spurred a look back at "the hippest trip in America". For over 35 years, Soul Train kicked down barriers and irrevocably changed the face of television. Boogie down memory lane by watching some clips on Soul Train's YouTube channel.
