Ronald Isley Soul Train Awards Tribute

Soul Train Awards paid tribute to R&B icon Ronald Isley on Sunday night and aired on BET. The show, hosted once again by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, featured a night of performances from some of the biggest names in soul and R&B.

Ronald Isley, co-founder and lead singer of the Isley Brothers, also received a special homage that featured Jeffrey Osborne, Freddy Jackson, DeBarge, Tank, Eric Benet, Bilal and Peabo Bryson. Isley also came out to perform his own medley of hits and was joined on stage by Chanté Moore and R. Kelly for a rendition of “Contagious,” their 2002 single that featured the Isleys. In addition, Cee Lo Green closed the show with a duet on the Isleys’ classic 1959 hit, “Shout.”
