Don Cornelius who was the founder of “Soul Train” was found this morning with a gunshot wound that apparently appeared to be self inflicted. His body was found at around 4 a.m. this morning at his L.A. home, and he was later pronounced dead at the hospital. He was 75.
Soul Train changed the landscape of television when it debuted in 1971 and ran until 2006. A full decade before MTV,Soul Train allowed artists like the Jackson 5, the O’Jays, Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes, and other stars of soul’s golden age to be seen by fans across America.
