Umm… Did anyone watch the Soul Train Gospel Experience on gmc a couple of weeks ago?
I DVR’ed it and just watched it over the weekend… I feel a little duped!
I thought it was gonna be a 60-minute compilation of the greatest gospel moments on Soul Train. Turned out to be a 1996 episode of Soul Train that featured Kirk Franklin, but not until you endured a bunch of scantily clad girls grinding to 90′s R&B artist Mona Lisa lip-synchin’ on stage. 
I’m sure it was a licensing issue–couldn’t get the footage of just Kirk without buying the whole episode, or maybe Don Cornelius wouldn’t allow slicing and editing of the episodes (in copyright law, we’d call that a “derivative work”) without getting a bigger financial cut of the pie… WHATEVER the reason, I wish I had known that upfront.
With more installments of Soul Train Gospel Experience coming, I’m gonna have to more carefully consider whether I’ll subject myself to 40 minutes of Shemar Moore dancing in leather pants (it was the 90′s, remember?) just to see 5 minutes of Karen Clark Sheard demolishing the vocals.
Sidebar: It was good to see J Moss hosting the gmc set. Whoo hoo!
Anyone else watch it? What did you think???
