With today being the start of Black History Month, it seem appropriate to play an interview of former Chicago radio/TV personality and creator/producer/host of "Soul Train" Don Cornelius. Sadly, it is also due to the fact that Don Cornelius passed away shockingly earlier today. This audio clip comes from WBEZ-FM's "Eight Forty-Eight" news magazine-style show from this past August 31st, just days before the City of Chicago honored Cornelius with a giant "Soul Train 40th Anniversary Concert" on Labor Day at Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion and publicly announced the honorary naming of a street after him. The interview, conducted by WBRZ-FM's Richard Steele, covers many aspects of Don Cornelius' incredible career. Also heard on this clip in the beginning and end is show host Alison Cuddy.
