The 2012 B.E.T Soul Train Music
Awards Red Carpet and taping
was live at Planet Hollywood.
Tribute was paid to the
legendary Don Cornelius who
was producer and show host of
Soul Train from 1971 to 1993.
Entrepreneur and basketball
great, Earvin "Magic" Johnson,
now owner of the Soul Train
Brand, made his special
appearance on the Red
Carpet. He had this to say to
Fuzionz
Magazine,
"It's
a
blessing what Don Cornelius
started four decades ago. It
was on Saturday mornings that
we were all waiting for Soul Train
to come on. I'm sure Don is
happy that we want to continue
the Soul Train Awards. This is the
first time the awards show will go
on without him, but now that I
own the Soul Train Brand, I have
to make sure we still do it in a
classy way and continue to
build the brand.
