Quiz Description

A show that ran for +30 years and bridged the gap between soul and disco, hip hop and rap and modern R&B, Soul Train was a TV staple. Hosted by the smooth-throated Don Cornelius, Soul Train continues its journey long after it left the airwaves. This quiz will test your knowledge of the people and things associated with this long-running music program, but there will be some questions with a way in for non-fans. So get ready to test your skills on the Scramble Board and make sure your hair is puffed up with plenty of Afro Sheen, because it's time to take a trip on the Sooooooullllll Traaaaaaainnnnnn!
