Soul Train' was developed as a radio show on television. It was the radio show that I always wanted and never had.

As long as the music stayed hot and important and good, that there would always be a reason for 'Soul Train'

I always felt a love for music, but I never got my nerve up enough to try a musical instrument in school.

I am just convinced that people want to see people on TV who are more like themselves.

There was no match for Barry White. His music is just going to live forever. It's not limited to disco or soul or hip-hop or anything.

Love, peace and soul.

The 'Soul Train' legacy and brand are of the utmost importance to me and to 'Soul Train's' millions of fans. After years of offers, I feel the time is now finally right to pass the torch.
