Brandy's coming to The Soul Man.

I can exclusively reveal that the singer-actress has been cast in the TV Land show's live episode airing on Wednesday, March 26.

The episode centers on Boyce (Cedric "The Entertainer") headlining his first annual church fundraiser for the summer youth program. He tries to reunite his old band for the event. Brandy will play Rita, one of his former backup dancers, who is desperately trying to hide a big secret.

Also causing some trouble are Lolli (Niecy Nash) and Boyce's feelings about Stamps (Wesley Jonathan) and Kim's (Kellee Stewart) possible plans to move in together.

The live episode also marks the comedy's season three premiere.

Other guest stars on The Soul Man have included Anthony Anderson, Tamar Braxton, Trina Braxton, Kim Coles, Robert Forster, Sherri Shepherd, Kim Wayans, Elise Neal and Jamie Kennedy, among others.

The live episode of The Soul Man airs on TV Land on March 26 at 10:30 p.m.
