Personal Quote:
[Who remained grateful to the musicians who made Soul Train (1971), a pop culture African-American show]: The show remains vibrant because the songs are. I figured as long as the music stayed hot and important and good, that there would always be a reason for 'Soul Train.' See more »Trivia:
Just before Cornelius died, he appeared on Unsung (2008) with Full Force, who had been a guest on Soul Train (1971). See more »Trademark:
