When I was dating my wife in college I sneezed and sorta added the "SOOOOUUULLLLL train" scream to my sneeze. She laughed hysterically at the time (30 years later and she hasn't laughed at it since). Now when I sneeze in front of her or my daughters, I'll sometimes just quietly say "train" afterwards. My daughter asked me why and I tried to explain, but she just thought I was a goofy dad. She finally heard the famous intro to the Soul Train TV show just recently, and told me she now gets it, but not that it's funny or anything.

His show was very important in promoting artists. RIP
