American Soul
Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 20h30
Genre: Drama, Period Drama
Everyone knows Soul Train, but not everyone knows what happened when the music stopped.
This is the untold story of the struggle to make the dream of Soul Train come true.
Inspired by the personal trials and professional successes of a young, ambitious and troubled impresario Don Cornelius, the '70s period drama is an unflinching look at the entrepreneur, his Soul Train dancers, and musicians set against the backdrop of a cutthroat Hollywood - how they work, play, rise and fall.
Battles with record labels for top talent and off-camera drama as young dancers vie for the spotlight stand in the way of a 30-something Don Cornelius, who is sacrificing all that he loves to follow his dream.
The series chronicles "the hippest trip in America" and what became of one of the most prominent and groundbreaking television shows for African-American culture.
Music plays a critical role in the series, as today's stars portray the icons of the Soul Train era.
Sinqua Walls (Power, Teen Wolf) stars as Don and Kelly Rowland plays the recurring role of Gladys Knight.
