SUMMARY:The Temptations
DESCRIPTION:THE TEMPTATIONS’ story is an extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. \nWith their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies\, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. Just a few of their classic hits that transcends all demographics –“My Girl\,” “Just My Imagination\,” “Get Ready\,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and so many more. Otis Williams is the original and founding member of The Temptations – through the good times and the bad. He is the key to their history and their stories – how they met\, their groundbreaking heights\, personal and political conflicts\, brotherhood\, family\, loyalty and more. As the leader and collaborator\, he has set the direction and tone for the Temptations through their transitions from the 60s to now. The group’s popularity is ever-increasing\, as they are one of the most iconic\, bestselling brands in the world today. \nThe demand for the Temptations grows as each generation discovers them. Most recently\, New York Mets star player Francisco Lindor chose “My Girl” as his walk-up song. The song resonated prompting the crowd at Citi Field to sing even after he reached the plate. This resulted in the Mets inviting the Temptations to perform the National Anthem and sing for the crowd at Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. This kicked off a series of television and personal appearances that hasn’t stopped. \nMarking the 60th anniversary of “My Girl\,” the Temptations first #1 hit\, The Temptations kicked off their official celebration in November in grand style atop Wonder float at the 98th Macy’s Day Parade thrilling the crowds along the parade route as well as millions of television viewers. In between their touring schedule\, they made whirlwind stops in Los Angeles and New York for national television appearances including CNN’s Thanksgiving Special\, The Today Show\, The View\, The Sherri Shephard Show\, The Motown Christmas Special\, CBS Early Show\, Access Hollywood\, ET\, and Extra. More TV appearances are scheduled throughout the year but have not been announced yet. \nAt every show\, they meet multi-generational fans who tell them time after time\, that The Temptations is a group that everyone can enjoy. And proving the point\, “My Girl” officially hit one billion Spotify streams putting them among only 1000 other artists to reach this milestone. “My Girl” celebrates several 60th anniversary chart milestones this year – No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot Rhythm & Blues\, No. 1 single on the Billboard Pop charts\, No. 1 on R&B chart\, and #35 on the Billboard Top 200 (Pop) chart. Continuing to create new music for their fans\, The Temptations are working on a new project this year as their last album of newly written material\, Temptations 60\, was released in 2022. \nThe Temptations’ heritage\, influence and contributions to\, not only American culture and African American communities but also to the global music landscape are monumental. The influence that The Temptations had on mainstream and global artists\, such as The Beatles\, The Rolling Stones\, Bob Dylan and others\, is undeniable. The smash hit musical\, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations\, is based on the autobiography of Otis Williams. The musical captivated thousands of theatergoers with sold-out Broadway performances breaking house records and is currently touring throughout the U.S. It originally opened on Broadway in 2019 to critical acclaim and received 12 Tony nominations winning the Tony Award for Best Choreography and was nominated for a Grammy® Award in the “Best Musical Theater Album” category. The national touring production completed their 50+ city tour as well as their production in the West End at the Prince Edward Theatre\, U.K. \nMotown auditioned and signed the original Temptations (Otis Williams\, Melvin Franklin\, Paul Williams\, Eddie Kendricks\, and Elbridge “Al” Bryant) in May of 1961. When the legendary “Classic Five\,” (Otis Williams\, Melvin Franklin\, Eddie Kendricks\, Paul Williams and David Ruffin) released the single\, “The Way You Do the Things You Do\,” in 1964\, which peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and remained on the list for 11 weeks\, it marked the beginning of a multitude of award-winning and chart-topping singles and albums that would be embraced by popular music audiences globally. Considered trailblazers in the 60’s\, leading the way not only for themselves but for other R&B artists\, and successfully reaching mainstream audiences here and abroad\, The Temptations’ rise to fame was meteoric. It was on March 6\, 1965 that their first million copy\, bestselling single\, “My Girl” hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The Temptations’ role as artists\, and how they used their voices to speak to the times they lived through\, especially during the 60’s-one of the most turbulent decades in our nation’s history\, is compelling. \nThe group’s 60-year history spans the 20th and 21st centuries\, and their music transcends generations. The Temptations’ story is a road map through American history. What began in Detroit\, when a remarkable combination of soulful voices united\, was the genesis of an epic journey that introduced multiple superstars to the world and produced some of the greatest music of our era. The Temptations always look forward to serenading fans with their soulful voices\, lighting up stages with their famous Temptations’ Walk and bringing joy to audiences of all ages.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Marc Roberge (of O.A.R.)
DESCRIPTION:As frontman for multi-platinum-selling rock band O.A.R.\, Marc Roberge has performed for sold-out crowds at some of the world’s most iconic venues while helping build a remarkably devoted global fanbase. Three decades into O.A.R.’s career\, the New York City-based singer/songwriter/guitarist has also developed a distinct identity as a solo performer. \nRoberge’s solo shows trade the full-band energy of O.A.R. for an intimate\, stripped-back setting\, featuring reimagined O.A.R. favorites\, select covers and candid conversation with the audience. The format puts a spotlight on the deeply personal storytelling that has been central to his songwriting since O.A.R.’s formation in 1996. \nInspired in part by the tradition of classic country and folk troubadours\, Roberge continues to explore the more lyrical and roots-oriented side of his songwriting through his solo work.

SUMMARY:Take 6
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the season with the extraordinary harmonies of Take 6\, one of the most acclaimed vocal groups in music. With 10 GRAMMY Awards\, 10 Dove Awards\, two NAACP Image Awards\, a Soul Train Award\, and induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame\, the legendary sextet brings its unmistakable sound to a joyful holiday concert. \nWith 10 Grammy Awards\, 10 Dove Awards\, 2 NAACP Image Awards\, a Soul Train Award\, and more\, Take 6 (Claude McKnight\, Mark Kibble\, Joel Kibble\, Dave Thomas\, Alvin Chea and Khristian Dentley) continues to bring extraordinary vocals to their worldwide audiences. April 2018 marks the release of their sixteenth album\, aptly titled ICONIC (SRG/Universal) and the debut of a PBS special\, The Summit\, alongside The Manhattan Transfer. \nThe new recording\, ICONIC\, is composed of the songs the sextet loves to perform both on stage and for the pure joy of lending their voices to songs that have taken on a greater meaning to them and to their audiences over their career of nearly four decades. These eclectic tunes pay tribute to both the music and the artists that made them famous\, from a fun and vocally significant cover of Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop the Feeling\, a unique and harmonic interpretation of Christopher Cross’ Sailing\, Khristian’s melodic and memorable vocal on Norah Jones’ Don’t Know Why to a jazz cover that the Beatles would surely be pleased with of Got To Get You Into My Life. They pay homage to their friend Al Jarreau\, with their rendition of Roof Garden\, and are true to their gospel roots with the hymn Nothing But the Blood. Change The World (Eric Clapton)\, the first single\, was the most-added tune in Smooth Jazz upon its release. Take 6’s last release\, in 2016\, Believe (SRG/Universal) landed on six Billboard charts simultaneously. \nTheir wide array of fans can enjoy their performances on The Summit as part of the Soundstage concert series. The special debuts nationally on the public television network in April 2018. The impressive collaboration with The Manhattan Transfer was recorded at their show in Chicago during their 46-city 2017 tour “THE SUMMIT: The Manhattan Transfer Meets Take 6.” Gleefully for audiences\, the repertoire includes songs neither band has ever recorded. \nTake 6 has admirably and adeptly crossed most musical genres\, from straight-ahead Jazz to Pop to adult R&B\, doo wop to blues. Like a fine-tuned vocal orchestra (Alvin\, bass; Khristian\, baritone; Claude\, Dave\, Mark and Joel\, tenors)\, the group continues to push the boundaries of creativity and musical genius with every new release\, and with their ever-evolving live performances. \nAny singer who aspires for vocal excellence cannot overlook the contributions these men have made to music. Take 6 has performed with and won praise from such luminaries as Stevie Wonder\, Brian Wilson\, Ben E. King\, Ladysmith Black Mambazo\, Al Jarreau\, Ella Fitzgerald\, Ray Charles\, and Whitney Houston\, to name a very few. \nSome of the honors Take 6 has enjoyed over the past few years include being chosen as the first musical group to perform in Cuba at the normalization of relations between our two countries\, and their induction into The Gospel Music Hall of Fame. \nTake 6 has come a long way from their days at Huntsville\, Alabama’s Oakwood College where Claude McKnight formed the group as The Gentleman’s Estates Quartet in 1980. When tenor Mark Kibble heard the group rehearsing in the dorm\, he joined in the harmonies and performed on stage that night. When Mervyn Warren joined shortly afterward\, they took the name Alliance. Yet\, when they signed to Reprise Records/Warner Bros. in 1987\, they found that there was another group with the same name\, so they became Take 6. Says McKnight: “Take 6 was all about a democratic process of sitting in a room together and throwing a couple of hundred names at each other and Take 6 was the one that got the most yay votes [laughing.] It pretty much was a play on the Take 5 jazz standard and the fact that there are six of us in the group\, so it became Take 6.” Their self-titled debut CD won over jazz and pop critics\, scored two 1988 Grammy Awards\, landed in the Top Ten Billboard Contemporary Jazz and Contemporary Christian Charts — and they’ve never slowed down. \nWhat makes the music and the group last this long? The answers are direct and simple: faith\, friendship\, respect\, and love of music. The multi-platinum selling sextet says of their longevity\, “We are family in the sense that we care deeply about each other\, which helps keep us together. We have times when it gets tough\, but we pull together because of the love and respect we have for one another. The group’s willingness to let members do other projects also adds to the brand and the cohesiveness of the group\,” says Joey Kibble. Kibble is a motivational speaker and Alvin Chea does voiceover work session-singing on dozens of TV shows\, feature films and commercials with his uniquely recognizable bass vocals. Two of the members have solo projects in the works\, others produce outside acts\, Mark Kibble arranges for A list artists and McKnight is working on a documentary. “It adds even more credibility and depth to the group as a whole\, enriched by each of our outside skills and experiences\,” Kibble adds.
