He also appeared on the dance music show Soul Train, and was featured in the program\'s signature line dance segment doing the memorable early 1970s dance step "the slo-mo".\n', "

He reprised his role as Rerun in the series What\'s Happening Now!! but he was only on that show for one season. Berry asked for more money than the rest of the cast (believing he was the reason people tuned in). Berry\'s widow, Essie Berry, told Urbanite magazine at Georgia State University that their unwillingness to pay Fred Berry his due in both shows led to their early cancellations. During the 1990s, Berry became a Baptist minister and lost 100 lbs after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.\n', '
