The Soul Train special was hosted by Oscar nominees Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Boyz II Men singer Shawn Stockman dropped out of his performance after he reportedly contracted the Swine flu virus. Get better Shawn.

paid homage to Charlie Wilson and The Gap Band with powerful renditions of
