The annual 2020 Soul Train Awards aired on Sunday November 29, 2020 at 9 p.m. ET on BET.
Many stars were honored last night for their achievements, and one of those stars happened to be musician, H.E.R. She went home with two big wins; the award for Best R&B/Soul Female Artist and the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter Award for “I Can’t Breathe.”
During her speech, she addresses her take on the evolution of R&B. “This stage is for us, this stage represents us, and I think it’s very important to not forget where we came from, and I want to talk about R&B, how it’s rhythm and blues, and people say ‘R&B is dead’ You know R&B is not dead, R&B is in everything. R&B has a lot of champions and I like to consider myself one of them. ” She concludes with “When one of us wins, we all win, So, I’m so thankful for this. Thank you so much.”
Congratulations to H.E.R on her big wins and more to come!
