Don Cornelius -The Coolest Man in America
As we kickoff Black History Month, TBNM salutes Don Cornelius and pray for his soul to be at rest and in a better place.
Soul Train was the hippest spot in America – it was the ultimate place of expression; power, love, style, hair, dance, songs — all that is beautiful and Black.
Countless of entertainers have Don Cornelius to thank for real time exposure and showcasing their talents when the mainstream outlets would not touch them.
Thank you Mr. Cornelius for Soul Train, Soul Train Music Awards, Soul Train Lady of Soul and the Soul Train Christmas.
Yes, it was Don Cornelius who taught many of us the power of strategic branding long before corporate America invited the Hip Hop elite to the party.
Although our hearts are heavy for Mr. Cornelius and family, it was his ‘chosen’ time, all we can say is thank you and keep on pumping that fist!!
