"Details surrounding the 2022 Soul Train Awards have been announced by BET.Hosted by actor-comedian Deon Cole, the esteemed celebration of R&B and soul music will premiere on Sunday, Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on BET and BET Her.“Hosting the ‘Soul Train Awards’ is a dream come true,” said the Grown-ish star, 50, in a statement. “I grew up watching ‘Soul Train’ and ‘til this day, I’ve never met a Soul Train Line I didn’t bless with my skilled two step. It is truly a privilege to be given this opportunity to celebrate Don Cornelius’ legacy, all of the amazing Black talent that illuminated our screens on the iconic TV show, and my favorite genres of music: soul, R&B and Hip-Hop.”Over the years, Brittney Parks has undergone her own personal apotheosis. It all started with the fiddle. She was mesmerized as a child after witnessing an Irish folk band performing in her hometown of Cincinnati. She begged her mom for a violin. Parks became mostly self-taught growing up, defining her style in church and warping the expectations of the assumed classical Western instrument.Connie Orlando, EVP Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy, added, “Deon Cole is known for delivering razor-sharp humor and commentary across his acclaimed standup specials and series. Get ready to see him unleash his comedic talents like never before on the Soul Train Awards stage—and don’t say we didn’t warn you. Deon is BET family, and we are proud to have him make his hosting debut exclusively on BET. We are also equally proud to continue celebrating the legacy of Soul Train with our esteemed nominees and delivering unforgettable performances and moments that epitomize Black Excellence.”As far as the nominees are concerned, Beyoncé and Mary J.
