Peabo Bryson headlines Love Rocks! at RWM
Spend the Valentine season with love and the smooth sound of the two-time Grammy Award winner Peabo Bryson as he returns to Manila to headline Love Rocks! For one night only, fans can catch the King of Balladeers live in concert on Feb. 13, 8 p.m. at the Resorts World Manila’s (RWM) Newport Performing Arts Theater (NPAT). International recording artist J Michaels also returns to NPAT as co-headliner and host of the ongoing Love Rocks! concert series. Former Miss Saigon star Jenine Desiderio will complete the line-up as a special guest artist, all backed by the J Michaels Band under the direction of Maestro Danny Favis. The theme for the evening will also include a tribute to the music of Burt Bacharach, with all artists performing their favorite Bacharach tunes.
Bryson was among the premier silky-voiced soul artists who emerged as the softer, more sophisticated urban contemporary sound became dominant in the ‘70s and ‘80s. He made hit duets with Natalie Cole, Roberta Flack, Melissa Manchester and Lea Salonga. Bryson enjoyed more success with If Ever You’re in My Arms Again, Can You Stop the Rain, Through the Fire and Unconditional Love. He won his first Grammy in 1992 for his performance of the song Beauty and the Beast with Céline Dion. His second Grammy was awarded the following year for A Whole New World (Aladdin’s Theme) with Regina Belle, being the only Disney song to make it to the Billboard Top 100, and topping it at No. 1.
