Soul Train did their second annual Soul Cypher and guess who stepped into the loop?

Gladys Knight! She was also joined by Tyrese, Ne-Yo, Angie Stone and musician (and Jill Scott’e ex-boyfriend/her former song collaborator), Robert Glasper, who if you don’t know him by now, you might wanna get to know him, like yesterday! He’s collaborated, written, and produced for many of your favorite artists and he’s FIRE on keys. Anyways, he and Gladys performed together on the show.

Babyface, Jazmine Sullivan, and Jhené Aiko paid homage to Brandy via video recording.

JILL SCOTT

Jill Scott also performed and speaking of Robert Glasper, he’s her ex-boyfriend who worked on several of her earlier projects. That’s Black history though, because Jill is happily newly married to her husband, Mike Dobson.
