Erykah Badu To Host 2015 Soul Train Awards: Jill Scott & Babyface Honored

CENTRIC today announced that the SOUL TRAIN AWARDS 2015 will be hosted by the incomparable singer-songwriter Erykah Badu. The hippest trip led by the illest chick will celebrate soul music’s R&B legends alongside the next wave of talented artists. Filmed November 6 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, the SOUL TRAIN AWARDS will air on CENTRIC and BET on November 29th, 2015 at 8PM ET.

Musical luminaries being honored at the show include Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, who will receive the Legend Award and Jill Scott who will accept the first-ever Lady of Soul Award. These icons are being recognized for their longstanding presence in the industry and influence on the world of music past and present. R&B legend and record producer Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds has won 11 Grammy Awards and written and produced 26 No. 1 R&B hits. His new album, Return of the Tender Lover, will be released December 4th. A torchbearer of R&B music, Jill is a 3x Grammy Award-winner who has also established herself as a critically acclaimed actress as well as a New York Times bestselling poet.

Erykah is currently launching a "One Human Show".

The hosting gig is perhaps a chance to display some of that.

This sounds nice. I think Erykah should be honored along with Lauryn and D Angelo (at some point)

R. Kelly, Cameo to Perform on the Soul Train Awards

11/02/15



In addition to performing during Soul Train Weekend 2015, R. Kelly has been added to the list of performers at this year's Soul Train Awards, taking place at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas Friday, November 6.

He will be joined by classic group Cameo for the upcoming ceremony, according to Yahoo Music. "We did the very first Soul Train Awards, very, very first. Don Cornelius asked us to do it," said Cameo lead singer Larry Blackmon. "It was fun and we haven’t done it since."

The network previously announced that Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds will receive the Legend Award, while Jill Scott will accept the first-ever Lady of Soul Award at the ceremony, which sees The Weeknd and Mark Ronson leading all nominees with five nods each.

Hosted by Erykah Badu, the Soul Train Awards 2015 will be recorded for broadcast on November 29 at 8 p.m. on BET and Centric.
