Photos from last night's Soul Train scene: the participants included Kenard Gibbs, the current CEO/Partner of Soul Train holdings; Tony Cornelius, son of Don Cornelius; Tyrone Proctor, dancer and member of the original Soul Train Gang; Nicholas “NickFRESH” Puzo, DJ and Soul Train historian; and Questlove, Soul Train historian and drummer for the Roots.

Tyrone Proctor and D.C.-based Urban Artistry led a dance demonstration. A Soul Train dance party featuring Questlove on the turntables delighted the dancing masses!
