Flashback to 1987 When Video Soul on BET was the heartbeat of the culture — giving us the music, the vibes, and the artists that shaped an era. 🎶 From smooth R&B to the hottest hip hop, Donnie Simpson made every night feel like history in the making. And in between those videos? The iconic hair commercials. This was more than TV. It was style, sound, and soul wrapped up in one unforgettable time. Who else remembers sitting in the living room, volume turned up, soaking it all in? 🙌🏾 #VideoSoul
