Former Lakers star, Magic Johnson, now has another title to add to his business ventures! He is now the owner of Soul Train and he has big plans for it!
Host and creator Don Cornelius debuted Soul Train in syndication 40 years ago this month! Soul Train is known for always keeping up with the musical trends from Motown, Disco, The Sound of Philly, New Jack Swing, Jazz, Hip Hop and more! Magic Johnson says that he plans to bring the ground breaking music show, Soul Train, back to television.
Soul Train also taught Magic Johnson how to dance as well! He was actually featured on the show back in the 80′s!!! On his recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno broke out the footage of Magic getting his groove on! Check it out below:

As long as he is the SOLE owner and not a front man for the Jews, I am happy. That needs to stay in black hands.
I’m glad to see Black owned media still coming forth and persisting in the community. I was heartbroken to hear of BET being sold to whites.
It’s nice that he made the effort to re energize the show but let’s be honest. Can Soul Train Survive with todays music??? It’s just not that good.
donald, nailed it on the head for me with his statement, im happy to hear the be bought the show(im suprised that don sold it) but at the same time, i hope he is the sole owner, like donald said,(fuck the kosher crackers) because Don Cornelius kept it black owned the whole time and hosted, i believe after he left, so magic, dont fuck this up!
Black owned media is very good for the black community.
