@UncleRUSH Sharing my thoughts on the passing of Don Cornelius. I loved that man.

@Raheem_DeVaughn On the 1st day of Black History Month I wanna Say RIP to Soul brotha Don Cornelius thank you for all you contributed to BLACK MUSIC.

@MarshaAmbrosius I remember thinking I'd 'made it' after performing on Soul Train. Career moment I'll never forget. Rest in Love Peace & Soul Don Cornelius.

@WendellPierce Don Cornelius gave African American artists exposure when American Bandstand wouldn't. Love, Peace and Sooooooooul. Rest in Peace

@missjillscott It was a major milestone appearing on Soul Train. A dream realized. I'm so sorry for Don Cornelious's family. May God grant you peace.

@MagicJohnson Don Cornelius was a pioneer & a trailblazer. He was the first African-American to create, produce, host & more importantly OWN his own show.

@hollyrpeete Loving listening to mainstream media reporting and eulogizing Don Cornelius and explaining what a "soul train line" is ๐Ÿ˜‰ RIP Don

@TalibKweli Don Cornelius created the pilot for Soul Train with 400 dollars of his own money.

@KeriHilson Black music never looked so good. R.I.P. Don Cornelius

@iamdiddy Love Peace and Soul- RIP Don Cornelius โ€ฆ.

@omarepps RIP Don Cornelius! Thank you for creating a platform which helped uplift me throughout my childhood!
