The 2010 Soul Train Music Awards aired last night with show opener R. Kelly performing a medley of hits and special musical tributes to Anita Baker and Ron Isley.

The 2010 Soul Train Awards took place at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia with Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson as hosts.

We gave you the red carpet coverage weeks ago, now here's the performances that aired last night.

R. Kelly opened the show with a nine minute medley composed of “Bump N’ Grind,” “Your Body is Calling,” “When A Woman’s Fed Up,” “Happy People,” and “When a Woman Loves.”

Anita Baker was given the Centric Legend Award with a tribute featuring Goapele, Chrisette Michelle, Tamia, Faith Evans, Kem, Rachelle Farrell, Lalah Hathaway and Dionne Farris.
