The “4 Legends, One Stage” tour will land at the Colonial Life Arena on May 16, and it’s gearing up to be the event of the year!
A star-studded lineup
This concert isn’t just any ordinary gig; it’s a gathering of music royalty! Each of these iconic artists has left an indelible mark on the world of R&B, soul, and pop over the past four decades, and their performances will undoubtedly create a magical atmosphere that will resonate with fans old and new.
Leading the charge will be the queen herself, Chaka Khan. Known as the powerhouse vocalist of the funk band Rufus in the early 1970s, Khan’s hits such as “Tell Me Something Good” and “Ain’t Nobody” remain timeless classics. She didn’t stop there; her impressive solo career has gifted us with memorable tracks like “I’m Every Woman”, “I Feel for You”, and “Summertime”. With a remarkable tally of ten Grammy awards under her belt, it’s safe to say that audiences are in for something special!
Next up is the fabulous Patti LaBelle, who first captured hearts in the early 1960s. As the lead singer of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles and later LaBelle, she is simply iconic, especially with hits like “Lady Marmalade”. LaBelle’s solo career is just as impressive, giving us unforgettable songs such as “You Are My Friend”, “If You Only Knew”, and “On My Own”. Her dynamic stage presence is bound to have the audience on their feet!
Don’t forget about the incredible Gladys Knight, who, along with the Pips, lit up stages from the 1960s to the 1980s. With her sultry voice and heartwarming tracks such as “Midnight Train to Georgia” and “That’s What Friends Are For”, Knight has become a beloved figure in the music industry, earning herself seven Grammy awards in the process. She promises to bring her signature style to Columbia, creating an atmosphere that will surely evoke fond memories.
Last but definitely not least is the talented Stephanie Mills. This songstress rose to fame as Dorothy in the original production of “The Wiz” back in 1974. Her signature song, “Home”, along with other hits like “I Feel Good All Over” and “I Have Learned to Respect the Power of Love”, showcase her incredible vocal range and mastery of performance. Mills adds another layer of excitement to the concert!
