About The Book

Movement didn’t end, and it surely didn’t stay on stage. It has traveled across generations beyond the studios into the DNA of every dancer today. Before online dance trends, there was Soul Train.

But when the cameras cut, what happened to those who defined an entire generation?

Get On Board! takes you behind the scenes and beyond the spotlight, tracing the lives of the original dancers from Patricia Davis to Don “Campbellock” Campbell, Shabba-Doo Quinones, Sharon Hill, and Tyrone “The Bone” Proctor.

Follow their journeys as they collaborate with legends like The Jackson 5, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Diana Ross. Discover the roots of dance styles still seen worldwide today.

Brimming with heart, humor, and history, Get On Board is a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the power of soul.

Love, peace, and soul are just a page away. Grab your seat and join the ride through music, memory, and movement.

About The Author

Stephen McMillian is a multi-talented storyteller whose journey from shy Jersey City kid to celebrated writer, journalist, actor, dancer, and filmmaker is as inspiring as the people he profiles. A proud graduate of the historically Black Morgan State University, Stephen first found his voice through poetry and essays, many of which were published in local newspapers and anthologies. His professional writing career began with The Daily Challenge, a Black newspaper in Jersey City, and has since expanded to include contributions to numerous newspapers, magazines, and websites. As a red-carpet correspondent, he interviewed icons such as Oprah Winfrey, Magic Johnson, Dionne Warwick, and Roberta Flack. A former featured dancer on the legendary TV show Soul Train, Stephen later brought his insider’s perspective to the program’s official website as a journalist. His latest book, Get On Board!, is a heartfelt tribute to the dancers who helped shape the soul of a generation.
