UK legend Jaki Graham will be performing some of her
classic 80's dance tracks including "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" and "Round and Round". As if three legendary acts isn't enough Soul Odyssey finish the evening with a guest DJ to bring back that soulful vibe into the 21st century.
================================
SISTER SLEDGE from Philadelphia have been performing together since the early 1970s as teenagers. It wasn't until 1979, when Chic leaders Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards produced the album "We Are Family" that Sister Sledge really exploded commercially. "He's The Greatest Dancer" and "We Are Family" both became hits in the USA and internationally. Sister Sledge went on to record double platinum success on their next several albums. Most well known for their trademark disco sound, alot of their later work presented a marked contrast, including their massive 1985 UK number 1 "Frankie". Lead singer Kathy Sledge brings the group back to the UK, with full
band, for the first time since 2009.
Sister Sledge will be performing classic tracks such as:
WE ARE FAMILY, HE'S THE GREATEST DANCER, LOST IN MUSIC, FRANKIE, LOVE SOMEBODY TODAY, THINKING OF YOU, MY GUY GOTTA GET BACK TO LOVE, ALL AMERICAN GIRLS, FREAK OUT "CHIC".
================================
GWEN DICKEY was the voice behind LA band Rose Royce - a soul, funk and disco
band formed by Motown writer producer Norman Whitfield. The Movie and soundtrack for "Car Wash" which was released in 1976 with many Rose Royce songs featuring Gwen were great successes, bringing the group national and international fame. In 1998 Gwen Dickey teamed up with international rap artist Jay-Z for a brand new version of the Rose Royce hit "Wishing On A Star" which gave Gwen her first solo UK top 10 hit.
Rose Royce feat Gwen Dickey will be performing classic tracks such as: WISHING ON A STAR, IS IT LOVE YOUR AFTER, AIN'T NOBODY, CAR WASH, LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE.
================================
JAKI GRAHAM is a unique vocalist and one of the most appealing Soul entertainers to emerge from the UK, her track "Could it be im falling in love?" reached No.5 in the british charts in March '85.
Jaki achieved a Guiness World record as the first black British female solo artist to have 6 consecutive Top 10/20 hits, unheard of by a black British female at that time.
Particularly successful in Japan in the 90's, releasing 5 albums, her first album "Real Life" sold more than 800,000 copies in less than four weeks. "Real Life" gave Jaki international hit singles, elevating her status further.
Later she released an album with Motown records entitled "Kiss the Sky".
Jaki Graham will be performing classic tracks such as:
COULD IT BE I'M FALLING IN LOVE, SET ME FREE, ROUND AND ROUND,I WANT TO THANK YOU.
