Her nine-minute song medley, available to [watch on BET](http://www.bet.com/video/soultrainawards/2016/performances/lady-of-soul-brandy-honoree-performance.html "undefined"), was a trip down R&B memory lane, with snippets from songs like “Almost Doesn’t Count,” “What About Us,” “Talk About Our Love,” and others. In the stripped-down production, a black-clad Brandy gets some backup from two male singer/dancers, but ultimately lets her own talent speak for itself. Brandy, who first hit the scene two decades ago with her debut album, last released [new music in January](http://time.com/4169111/brandy-new-song-beggin-and-pleading/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined"). But in the meantime, she’s been busy on Broadway in a production of _Chicago_ and on television with a BET sitcom. And, thanks to this musical throwback performance, she’s just reminded everyone of her original claim to fame. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4583513/brandy-soul-train-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4583513/brandy-soul-train-video/"},"headline":"Watch Brandy Bring the '90s Back at the Soul Train Awards","datePublished":"2016-11-28T18:34:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:57.779Z","description":"The \"Lady of Soul\" still has it","url":"https://time.com/4583513/brandy-soul-train-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9ad7892198cf65b1/6988afcc0b72e375fb6ebe09/brandy-soul-train-2016.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9ad7892198cf65b1/6988afcc0b72e375fb6ebe09/brandy-soul-train-2016.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 Soul Train Music Awards - Show","caption":"2016 Soul Train Music Awards - Show","creditText":"Mindy Small—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4583513/brandy-soul-train-video/","name":"Watch Brandy Bring the '90s Back at the Soul Train Awards"}}]}] ```
