R&B/Soul super duo Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, Silk
Sonic’s stirring rendition of “Fly As Me” kicked off the
evening and took us back in time to an exact replica of the iconic
Soul Train set. Ciara and Russell Wilson, and
Marley Dias received Souls of Justice Award in moving video
tribute. Next was a dazzling performance by songstress Ari
Lennox who beautifully sang “Pressure” while commanding the
stage in a gorgeous ensemble embellished with white feathers.
Singer/songwriter Lucky Daye had the audience swooning with
a sultry performance of his hit song “Over,” which samples Musiq
Soulchild’s “Halfcrazy.” Gospel singer Fred Hammond who
proclaimed he was turning the show into the “Soul Train Tabernacle
Awards,” delivered an empowering rendition of “Yahweh.” Adding to
the impressive lineup, BET Amplified artists Marzz
and Elhae also gave memorable performances sponsored by
Ford. Following separate introductions from Mack Wilds and
Tone Stith (the latter of which reflected on his own
experience performing on the BET Amplified stage),
Marzz and Elhae wowed the audience with captivating
renditions of “Countless Times” and “FOMO,” respectively.
This year’s highly anticipated Soul Cypher, presented by
AT&T, was hosted by the prolific DJ D-Nice and featured
the stunning vocal talents of Tone Stith, Koryn
Hawthorne, Jac Ross, Elle Varner and Musiq
Soulchild. As a nod to the 20th Anniversary of her self-titled
album Aaliyah, the late R&B great’s hit single “Rock the Boat”
provided both the theme and instrumental for the thrilling
cypher.
R&B/Soul singer Ashanti was crowned “Lady of Soul” at
this year’s Awards, an honor sponsored by Walmart and presented to
her by Normani, who spoke about emulating her famous style
growing up. Ashanti embodied elegance while accepting the
award to the backdrop of a cheering audience. The songstress later
returned to the stage for an electrifying performance of some of
her biggest hits including “Happy,” “Rain On Me,” “Baby,” and
fan-favorite “What’s Luv” with surprise guest Fat Joe, which
prompted the audience to sing along. Ja Rule then joined
Ashanti, reuniting the famous 2000’s duo for a
crowd-pleasing performance of “Always On Time.” Ashanti ended her
performance with her #1 hit, “Foolish.”
Singer/songwriter and producer Leon Bridges gifted the
audience with a particularly soulful rendition of “Details.”
R&B/Soul sensation Summer Walker gracefully sang fan
favorite “Unloyal,” joined by Ari Lennox and saxophonist
Casey Benjamin.
In what proved to be one of the evening’s most special moments,
honoree Maxwell was presented with the Ford-sponsored
Legend Award by Jazmine Sullivan. As Sullivan
presented the award, she reflected on Maxwell’s influence
both on the industry and in her own life, commenting how he was one
of the only people who gave her a chance. After her touching speech
about his humble beginnings and rise to success, Maxwell,
who transformed his look to resemble his first album cover,
accepted the award and expressed gratitude, visibly moved by the
emotional moment. The singer then brought endless soul to the
stage, performing a medley of his classics including “Til the Cops
Come Knockin’,” “Bad Habits,” “Sumthin’ Sumthin’” new song “Off”
and closing out with crowd favorite “Ascension,” as he walked
through the crowd, serenading attendees.
Silk Sonic returned to cap the evening off with an
energetic 70’s era classic Soul Train-inspired performance of new
song, “Smokin’ Out The Window.” Additional presenters for the
evening included Parker McKenna Posey from BET series
Games People Play, Paula Patton from BET+ original
series Sacrifice, Hosea Chanchez and Wendy Raquel
Robinson from The Game, Devale Ellis and Crystal
Hayslett from Tyler Perry’s Sistas on BET.
BET also held the first-ever “Soul Train Awards Weekend,”
a three-day multiplatform experience that celebrated the best in
commerce, music and entertainment. The weekend kicked off with the
“Leading With Soul” Luncheon, honoring executives known for
meaningful work and leadership. Sponsored by Dove and hosted by
media personality Tai Beauchamp, the luncheon honored Esi
Egleston Bracey of Unilever North America with the ‘Corporate
Champion Award,’ Louis Carr, a veteran of BET and
leader in sales for global brands with the ‘Legacy Award,’
Cheryl McKissack Daniel & Deryl McKissack of
McKissack & McKissack, with the ‘Black Business Icon Award’ for
their professional design and construction firm, and Jonelle
Procope, President and Chief Executive Officer of the World

Another activation during “Soul Train Awards Weekend,” known as
‘Soul Surprises’ consisted of a Soul Train Awards-branded Sprinter
van rolling between Harlem, Brooklyn and Queens, delivered cool
prizes and experiences, via a prize wheel, which included
BET and Soul Train Awards swag, the famous Soul Train
Scramble Board, gift cards to Black-owned restaurants with special
celeb appearances.
In a stunning feat, BET also invited New York City to
gather and form the longest Soul Train Line in history, with the
goal of breaking the current Guinness World Record. Never one to
disappoint, NYC locals showed out in full force in Marcus Garvey
Park in Harlem for what became a successful attempt and new
Guinness World Record.

ABOUT SOUL TRAIN
“Soul Train” was created in 1971 by visionary Don Cornelius and
predominantly featured performances by R&B, pop, soul, and
hip-hop artists, in addition to the occasional funk, jazz, disco,

first-run, nationally syndicated program in television history.
“Soul Train” highlighted a cast of incredible, ethnically diverse
dancers who famously introduced the world to a whole new series of
dance moves and styles on a weekly basis. Cornelius opened every
show welcoming the audience to “the hippest trip in America” and
closed each show wishing the audience “love, peace and soul.”
Today, the legacy of “Soul Train” lives on through the legendary
Soul Train dance line, which has become a timeless staple on dance
floors across America. In 2016, BET, acquired the “Soul Train”
brand and remains dedicated to revitalizing the brand while also
