The sons of R&B and soul legends come together for an intimate tribute celebrating their fathers' musical legacies. Roy Hamilton Jr., Benidito King (son of Ben E. King), and Joe Tex II share the stage to honor Roy Hamilton Sr. on the 57th anniversary of his passing, while also paying respect to their own legendary fathers. Roy Hamilton Sr., known as "The Golden Boy of Song," brought the world classics like "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Unchained Melody" with his powerful baritone voice that influenced generations of artists.
The showcase blends live musical performances with personal anecdotes and stories about the golden era of soul music. Las Vegas vocalists Stephanie Liferidge and Dana Daye join as guest artists, adding their voices to this multigenerational celebration. Between songs, the performers share memories of their fathers and discuss the unique experience of carrying forward these iconic musical legacies while carving their own artistic paths.
This intimate venue setting at the Showlounge Stage creates the perfect atmosphere for an evening that's part concert, part storytelling session. The format allows the audience to connect with both the timeless music of the 1950s and 60s soul era and the contemporary artistry of the next generation keeping these traditions alive.
