An Invitation from Dennis Spears:
Greetings, Legends fans and music lovers.

Our Legends music series is about to get a whole lot sweeter!

"Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing" is the perfect anthem to describe the beauty and magic created by the pairing of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. They delivered a sweet chemistry in their duets that, to this day, remains unmatched.

While both artists lived tragic lives beyond the stage lights, when they sang they brought tender and loving energy to their performances. They're responsible for classics such as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Your Precious Love," and "You're All I Need to Get By" to name a few. This concert also features many of Marvin’s most memorable hits like "Let's Get It On," "Sexual Healing," and "Trouble Man."

Legends veteran, Julius Collins, joins Lyndora Turner (former Summer Camp Capri student and global vocalist who's toured the world with Stokely) in this sweet treat. And the band -- they will knock you out: KeAndre Mack on drums, Pat Nelson on bass, Matt Berry on guitar, Ryan Bynum on keys, and Daryl Boudreaux on percussion.

Join us this weekend! You will experience no more gentler, sublime tribute anywhere.

Sincerely,
Dennis Spears
