Line 21:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: The show opening, "The hippest trip in America", and the show closing "We wish you love, peace, and...'''''SOOOUL'''''!"
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Don Cornelius, during the show's later years.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Early episodes owed more to ''[[Laugh In]]'' than ''[[American Bandstand]]'' in terms of the show's look and camera work. The pilot in particular had a completely different announcer, and the open showed the musical guests (Gladys Knight & The Pips, David Ruffin, and The Honey Cones) were dancing among the "Soul Train ''Gang''" instead of showing short clips of their performances.
** Also, many acts chose to perform live, rather than lip-synch to their record. This was a practice that pretty much died by the late 70s.
