Saturday night saw the very glamorous reunion of R&B quartet Xscape, who took a break from their current tour to perform a medley of their hits before accepting this year’s Lady of Soul award.

“We’ve been watching ‘Soul Train’ pretty much all our lives and to get the Lady of Soul Award, to be recognized years after we [started] all our hard work, it’s an amazing honor,” member Tamika “Tiny” Harris told Entertainment Tonight.

“For the last 40-plus years, I’ve been living and breathing music,” said Day during his acceptance speech. “[I]t’s been a helluva ride and there’s some thank-yous that I owe along the way.”
