The American Music Award for Favorite Song – Soul/R&B (formerly known as Favorite Soul/R&B Single 1974-1995) has been awarded since 1974. While the start and end dates for the usage of the category Favorite Black Single are unclear, in 1985 the name was used for the award Prince was given for his single When Doves Cry.[1] The category was retired for over a decade in 1995, before returning in the 2016 ceremony. Years reflect the year in which the awards were presented, for works released in the previous year (until 2003 onward when awards were handed out on November of the same year). The all-time winners for this category are Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars, both with 3 wins. The former is also the most nominated artist. Singers Diana Ross, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston share the record for most wins by a female artist in the category with two each.
