"The Soul Train Music Award winners for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video (sometimes awarded as The Michael Jackson Award for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video"

Why was the award title awarded sometimes as "The Michael Jackson award" ?

 

[This Is It]

Erm, because Michael Jackson created the modern day music video. The MTV Video Vanguard award was named after him too.

yeah, it should always be named the Michael Jackson award but during the tougher years these award shows started to distance themselves

Yeah.........just shows the support the Music Industry has for Michael during his hard times..............



And yet it was Michael who single handedly saved that industry in the 80's!!!!!!

The Soul Train award kept the name until the show ceased
