When the final episode of the show\u2019s historic thirty-five-year run aired in 2006, it was the longest-running first-run, nationally syndicated program in television history. \u201cSoul Train\u201d 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 \u201cthe hippest trip in America\u201d and closed each show wishing the audience \u201clove, peace, and soul.\u201d Today, the legacy of \u201cSoul Train\u201d 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 \u201cSoul Train\u201d brand and remains dedicated to revitalizing the brand while also honoring its heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1
