The American Soul BET series has released a new trailer, and we get to see Don Cornelious (Sinqua Walls) attempting to sell Gladys Knight (Kelly Rowland) on his dream of Soul Train.
“I see freedom. I see economic power. What ownership is like.That is the way we can truly overcome.”

“I’m talking about a national television show written, produced, and owned by black folks,” says Cornelius in the trailer. “I’m talking about bringing us not whitewashed, not toned-down, but us. Into millions of homes, like it or not!”
About the series:
It’s Don Cornelious story about the struggle to make his dream come true. Set in the early 70’s, filled with music, dance, fashion and glamour, this is the untold story of the launch of the first nationally-syndicated Black music show and what happened when the music stopped. Battles with record labels for top talent, off-camera drama as young dancers vie for the spotlight, stand in the way of a 30-something Cornelius who is sacrificing all that he loves to follow his dream. The journeys of these characters collide in a racially charged LA with the odds stacked against them. All they have is each other and the magic of Soul Train.
Check out the series when it premieres on BET Feb. 5, 2019, at 9 p.m. ET / PT.
