R & B Star Randy Crawford coming to SA
LEGENDARY American jazz and R&B singer Randy Crawford will take to the stage for one last time and perform her final farewell concerts in South Africa in October 23 at the Grand West Arena.
Big Concerts confirmed that tickets are on sale to allow the South African audience to secure their bookings to the oncein-a-lifetime performance.
Crawford shook the music industry with her incredible voice in the mid1970s in New York, where she sang with jazz men George Benson and Cannonball Adderley.
She signed with Columbia Records and released her first single, Knock On Wood, and If You Say The Word in 1972.
She went on to lead R&B veterans the Crusaders on the transatlantic hit
Street Life and was named the Most Outstanding Performer at the Tokyo Music Festival.
She has since sung with Bootsy Collins, Johnny Bristol, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, Rick Springfield, Steve Hackett and Joe Sample, among others.
“Randy is still one of the greatest female voices, and we feel proud and privileged to be presenting her final concert tour in South Africa prior to her retirement.
“Randy has had a long-standing love affair with South African audiences, and now she is coming back to Cape Town and Pretoria one last time as part of her Farewell Tour,” said Big Concerts spokesperson Justin van Wyk.
Tickets are priced at R350 to R660 and are available from bigconcerts.co.za and Computicket at www.discovery. co.za
