Eddie Holman
Soul performer/Philadelphia native Eddie Holman is a soul and R&B singer whose biggest hit is, “Hey There Lonely Girl”. Holman worked with both The Delfonics and The Stylistics. British journalist Tony Cummings once wrote, "Eddie Holman's voice, an astonishing precision instrument which can leap octaves with the speed of mercury and bend notes into shapes unimagined by lesser singers, has assured its possessor a place in soul history.” Some of his other hits include: "This Will Be A Night To Remember" and "You Make My Life Complete".
A Celebration of Kenny Vance and the Planotones
Kenny Vance was a founding member of Jay Black & the Americans. He grew up hanging around the famous Brill Building, the heart of New York’s pop song machine, and started his first Doo Wop group when he was 15. After leaving Jay and the Americans, Vance formed Kenny Vance and the Planotones in 1992. Kenny Vance and the Planotones first came to be as a fictional band appearing in the film American Hot Wax (1978). Kenny Vance’s son, Ladd Vance, will perform with the original Planotones, along with original member Johnny Gale as a tribute to his long career.
