CHICAGO — "I was one of the guys who could throw down," Don Cornelius says in a new documentary about his era-defining run as host of the nation's funkiest televised dance party, "Soul Train: The Hippest Trip in America" (9:30 p.m. EST Saturday on VH1).

He's not boasting. As they say on the street corner, show and prove, and one of many smile-inducing moments in the documentary is footage of Cornelius strutting his stuff on his own show with the Supremes' Mary Wilson. Cornelius learned how to glide on the dance floor while growing up on Chicago's South Side during the '40s and '50s, then segueing into a career as a radio and TV newsman and DJ. While employed at local Chicago station WCIU-TV in the '60s, he started hosting soul dance parties around the city and eventually approached station management about a show based on the same idea.
