I was walking through the festival grounds and was drawn into the best rendition of Let's Stay Together I've ever heard. That crowd was eating it up for 10 minutes. I almost cried it was so good. They were my favorite act at that festival.

    This cat has been honing his craft for decades...he gives his all to every aspect of his music. The musical and vocal arrangements are a singular phenomena. The fact he can deliver such force and nuance is a testimony to the control he wields over his instrument. A unique yet familiar funk with his own signature seasoning, is refreshing and leaves you fulfilled, thrilled and wanting more.

    My husband absolutely loved singing Anthony Hamilton songs to me and we had a great time Steppin to them. The lyrics of Amen remind me of how we started off. I miss my beloved hubby who passed on 06-13-2016. He didn't have a pretty voice, but always sang from his heart and that made the girls and ladies in our family feel good and laugh. I. A July 3rd bday girl, and teacher so I love that sweater! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful performance with the world!
