Julian Marszalek asked Chris Frantz , the drummer of Tom Tom Club and Talking heads, how the band felt about being the first white band playing on the legendary Funk/soul Tv program Soul Train:
Here is the answer.unbelievable...
"We were asked to do Soul Train in LA when we were out there shooting Stop Making Sense. That was quite a big day; we got up and did Soul Train and then that night shot Stop Making Sense. Yeah, that was a super big day! But it felt like a wonderful crossover. Here we are on this really cool TV show called Soul Train and that must mean we've got soul! That's what we wanted – to have soul."
