A great man once said, ‘when music hits you, you feel no pain’. He sure knew what he was talking about, because that’s exactly what fans can expect at the third ‘Reggae Meets Soul’ show on March 18 at Coral Springs Center For The Performing Arts.
A strong cast of artists will be on show, led by Russell Thompkins Jr and The New Stylistics out of Philadelphia. Kashief Lindo, J C Lodge, Michael Russell and saxophonist/singer Yishka will also perform.
“I feel real good to be back on track the third time around. We have been getting requests from patrons who had enjoyed the other two shows,” said Lindel Thompson, whose LTK20 Records are promoters of the show. “We are anticipating a singalong affair, fun-filled evening with a barrage of popular hit songs from soul and reggae stars.”
The previous instalments of ‘Reggae Meets Soul’ drew strong turnouts to watch a blend of nostalgic sounds from Jamaica and the United States. Lindo, Leroy Sibbles, The Melodians, Nadine Sutherland, The Drifters and The Manhattans are some of the acts who have performed on the event.
This time around, fans get a chance to hear the distinctive falsetto of Russell Thompkins Jr., former lead singer of The Stylistics. He is still in prime form and looking forward to performing in South Florida.
