Don Cornelius, the septuagenarian creator and former host of television show “Soul Train,” was arrested Friday in Los Angeles on suspicion of domestic violence, authorities said Saturday.

The former longtime host of “Soul Train” was taken to Van Nuys jail late Friday after police were called to his Hollywood Hills home. The details of the incident remain for the moment unknown.

Arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence, it remains unknown who his alleged victim was. Someone reported a domestic incident, Officer Sam Park told the Associated Press. Cornelius was released on $50,000 bail and is due in court next month, on Nov. 14.

At 72, Cornelius is famous for having created “Soul Train” in 1970, which he produced through his own production company. His iconic show, which he hosted from inception until 1993, featured such legendary artists as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Barry White.

The seminal series was so warmly received and became so influential that it led to the development of a franchise which includes Soul Train Music Awards, the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards and the Soul Train Christmas Starfest.
