Besides having eveyone who was anyone in the world of soul music as a guest, Don Cornelius also put the spotlight on the kids who danced on the show....never patronizing, always promoting respect and self respect.....like anyone else, Mr. Cornelius had personal flaws, but he was a postive force in the world of entertainment. And thus the influence grew bigger than just entertainment, his work and those he worked with, changed society.
Mr. Cornelius, thank you!
