Love, Peace & Soul On The Parkway: Philly Breaks Record For Largest Soul Train Line
It was all love, peace and soul on the Parkway when nearly a thousand spectators and hundreds of dancers formed the largest, record breaking Soul Train line to honor the late Don Cornelius, creator and host of Soul Train, as well as legendary singer Whitney Houston.
With the help of co-host, WRNB on-air personality and Philly 360˚ Creative Ambassador Dyana Williams, Philly broke the Guiness Book of World Records when 327 people danced down the Soul Train line, and they looked good doing it. Philly came out in their best 70s looks - from Afro wigs to bell bottoms and platforms. Mayor Michael Nutter aka Mixmaster Mike even made his way down the line to "Rappers Delight."
The Soul Train event was hosted by Radio One Philadelphia (home of 100.3 WRNB) and Manwell Glenn of WURD.
