The Soooooul Train is taking over! This Saturday, June 23, Centric will kick off its third Black Music Month weekend celebration, saluting the legendary Don Cornelius and Soul Train.

Fans will be treated to the premiere of Being: Gladys Knight, chronicling the “Empress of Soul” and her five decade plus career in music, and the world premiere of the original documentary, Don Cornelius: Visionary, Trailblazer, & Cultural Icon. Co-produced by Cornelius’ son, Tony, the doc will feature interviews from Anita Baker, Questlove of The Roots, Kool and the Gang, Eddie Levert, and Missy Elliott.

If you tune in, you could be a winner! Throughout the programming line-up, trivia questions will pop-up throughout the night driving you to log on to CentricTV.com. If all of the questions are answered correctly, you will be eligible to win an all expense paid trip on the 2013 Soul Train Cruise. Twenty-five runners-up will win The Best of Soul Train box set.
