The Soul Train Awards, which recognizes the best in Soul and R&B, will be taped at the Legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, NY on November 20th and will premiere on Sunday, November 28th at 8 PM ET/PT on BET and BET Her.

Co-hosted by Tisha Campbell & Tichina Arnold for the fourth consecutive year, this marks the first time the show has been taped at the Apollo or New York, which also honors the 50th anniversary of Soul Train.

Maxwell will receive the Legend Award.

"It's an honor to be presented with the Legend Award by a community that's been growing throughout my career. I'm so grateful to be sharing this moment with everyone and returning to the Apollo for an evening of excellence."

Ashanti will be the recipient of the Lady of Soul Honor.

"I'm honored to be recognized as this year's Lady of Soul honoree. This is a full circle moment for me because I received the Aretha Franklin entertainer of the year award at the Lady of Soul Awards in 2002.
