Dance lessons prior to each concert, at 7:15PM

Rain location: Flushing Town Hall Theater

Rhythm & Blues music always gave a bluesy feeling and was good for dancing, television shows like "American Bandstand" and "Shidig" always featured people dancing the latest craze on camera to Rhythm & Blues, and "Motown"; the music born out of Detroit gave them a lot to dance about.

Groups like "Smokey Robinson & the Miracles", "The Supremes", "The Temptations", "Stevie Wonder" and "The Jackson Five" records were a necessity at any soul party.

Other groups like "Sly & the Family Stone", "The Stylictics", "The Delfonics" and "James Brown" helped to personify what soul and R&B was.

Pianist / Vocalist James Jones leads us down the Soul Train in an evening of delightful Rhythm & Blues songs to enjoy.
