It was 1973 when Dick Clark tried to launch a black dance show of his own like Soul Train. It was the American Bandstand that featured teenagers dancing to Top 40 music introduced by Clark. There were artists like Jerry Lee Lewis to Frankie Lymon.

It was Soul Train that had black teens wearing Afro hairstyles and bellbottoms. Don Cornelius featured music artist like Gladys Knight and The Pips, and Eddie Kendricks. By 1973 Soul Train had helped to define and poplar rise the sound of R&B music and American Bandstand was the same for Top 40.

 Like The Hippest Trip in America, Soul Train, music artist, bands, and groups appeared on Soul Unlimited.  It was Buster Jones who appeared as the host of the show. He interviewed music artists like Gladys Knight and The Pips in 1973.

 Jones was a diss jockey. During his career as a DJ he worked in Washington DC and in Los Angeles. He also did voice work in commercials which led to his career as a voice actor in TV series.

 Jones appeared as the host of Dick Clark's Soul Unlimited. He introduced musical guest Gladys Knight and The Pips in 1973 when they were singing songs like Neither One Of Us and It's Gotta Be That Way. Beautiful song.
