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

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

I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung.

I grew up listening to old soul.

I hosted Soul train but I listen to everything.

When I was in school, I really thought about soul a lot. I was listening a lot to Bjork and to the Commodores. I really wanted to know how they felt. And especially with Bjork, the music there told me wow, that's really her soul there.

I stumbled into soul music at a very young age. It had something that really spoke to me.

Soul meets soul on lovers' lips.

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.

Soul music is timeless.
