St. Louis’ own Cedric the Entertainer was tapped to host The 3rd Annual Soul Train Music Awards. The event will highlight the best of today’s R&B music while bridging the latest styles to the classic sounds of yesterday.
The Awards will be held at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Ga. on Thursday Nov. 17 and will premiere on both BET and Centric at 9pm Eastern on Sunday, November 27.
This year’s celebration will be the 40th anniversary of Soul Train and will honor pioneers like Earth, Wind and Fire as well as Gladys Knight.
