MAINE PRODUCTIONS & UPPER ECHELON ENTERTAINMENT PROUDLY PRESENTS THE CLASSIC CONCERT SERIES AN EVENING WITH TWO R&B LEGENDS, PERFORMING ONE NIGHT ONLY: THE SOULFUL SOUNDS OF LENNY WILLIAMS AND BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND..HOWARD HEWETT SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2008 @ THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF HOMESTEAD MUSIC HALL |
It's Time, Hewett's debut release for Caliber Records, is, according to the singer, "the first project molded out of my own mind. I'm in charge of the sound and comfortable with the feelings. Those feelings are all about romance. This is the first record that's completely me." Hewett first burst on the scene as lead singer of Shalamar, the successful post - disco group which topped the charts in both the U.S. and U. K. "Second Time Around," featuring Howard, was a near two - million seller. "For the Lover in You," co-written by Hewett and reinterpreted in It's Time, was another major hit. "Dancing in the Sheets," "A Night to Remember" are just a few more of the Hewett - led smash hits that Shalamar enjoyed as a group.

ABOUT
LENNY WILLAMS - Oakland, California native Lenny
Williams possesses one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary
music. With his rich, passionate vocal style, he is rightfully
regarded as one of R & B's most influential soul men. Williams
began his musical career making records that have subsequently
become R & B and Pop classics, tunes like the mega-hit "Cause
I love You" (recorded on his solo album) and "So Very
Hard To Go', which he recorded as the lead singer for Tower of
Power. Lenny's style has transcended into the new millennium,
influencing many of today's newest R & B and Pop vocalists.
Lenny himself sounds better than ever, and can be heard on his
new single "Tuesday" and his soon to be released album
"It Must Be Love" on LenTom Records.
