Jackie Wilson: The Legend Continues

Description

Starring Bobby Brooks Wilson!

Bobby Brooks Wilson, son of legendary Jackie Wilson, describes his concerts as the ultimate display of himself as an artist, featuring several covers of Motown classics, a special tribute to his father, including stories behind the specific songs he performs, as well as original tunes of his own albums, the most recent entitled Just About Time.

He will be accompanied by the five-piece Coda Band and backed by Long Island's own The Chiclettes, the trio tribute to email vocalists from the 1950s through the '80s.

"What you're going to see is Bobby Brooks Wilson giving you all he's got on stage," the singer said. "And my dad's going to show himself, you're going to hear him and you're going to see him...I feel my dad around me a lot," a presence, he added, that's felt by his audience during every show.

"People come up and say, 'I felt like I was watching Jackie again, I felt like a kid again!' He is loved to this day by so many people which is amazing. The joy that they have in their hearts when they come up to me after the show...I just thank God I have the ability, even though I'm just being me, to give these people the joy that they have."

Bobby has opened or performed with legendary performers such as The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Contours, Martha Reeve, Dion Warwick, Paul Revere, Bill Medley, and many more. This will be a high-energy show just as Bobby's father always performed.
