Jam-It Entertainment, a division of Creative Entertainment in association with Raps Restaurant, set the stage for "Classic Love 2", a stage show that stars Grammy award winning and recording group the Stylistics (whose hits include "You Are Everything", "Break Up To Make Up" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New"), as well as critically acclaimed Main Ingredient (with hits "Everybody Plays The Fool" and "Just Don't Want To Be Lonely"), for a night of classic Love songs at the International Centre located at 6900 Airport Rd. in Toronto. Also included as a feature artist is living legend Eric Donaldson with hits such as "Cherry Oh Baby", and "Sweet Jamaica". Supporting acts for this classic night are Canada's songbird Tanya Mullings, veteran crooner Jay Douglas, and upcoming artist S. Davis.
Main Ingredient has enjoyed much success over the years. Their music received a revival recently when Alicia Keys used it as a basis to record her hit song "You Don't Know My Name" which is based on the groups' song "Let Me Prove My Love to You". Classic Love 2 will be seen in Toronto on Saturday November 8th, and Windsor on Sunday November 9th.About the Stylistics: The Stylistics was formed in Philadelphia, PA in 1966 from two groups, "The Percussions" and "The Monarchs". When members from each group were drafted or went on to further their education, the remaining members under the guidance of their English teacher Beverly Hamilton joined forces and changed the name to "The Stylistics". Their first song "You're a Big Girl Now" was recorded at Virtue Recording Studio, a local studio in Philadelphia. It was soon picked up in the tri-state area and, before long, it became a number 1 hit in Philadelphia and a few other cities. After the success of "You're A Big Girl Now", naturally they followed up with an album release. Hit veteran producer Tom Bell was contacted and was hired to produce the group's first album. The album was entitled "The Stylistics" and from that album came "Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart", "You Are Everything" and "Betcha By Golly Wow". The success of the first album was phenomenal for that time along with an unheard release of six singles in total. The ball continued to roll with the release of their second album entitled "Round Two". The Stylistics were becoming known as the Philly group with the sweet love songs. www.L3Magazine.com Related items |
