Whether young or aging gracefully, watchers rediscover music from the airwaves of yesterday as each song takes viewers back to the moment they first heard these radio hits. The raspy, soulful Anthony Hamilton leaves the crowd wanting more after singing ballads "Charlene" and "The Point of It All” with an unexpected feature performance by rapper David Banner. Xscape’s Latosha returns to the stage turning heads and reminding us of her vocal chops for the incredible Evelyn “Champagne'' King tribute that also features the radiant Elle Varner and the harmonious voices of The Shindellas giving watchers no choice, but to stand up and dance.



Exhibiting the transformative power of contemporary gospel music, The Hawkins Family tribute takes you to church for an unforgettable performance including Mary Mary’s Tina Campbell, Kelontae Gavin, Pastor Beverly Crawford, Melvin Williams and Zacardi Cortez. The exhilarating moment concluded with an exciting vocal showdown that left even the performers themselves wanting more, barely making it off stage.



"I'm amazed to witness the rise of so many talented young artists in 2023," shares Tramaine Hawkins. "Their music carries hints of the songwriting legacy from our family, which continues to resonate powerfully even today."



Other highlights include a special ode to the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop that will transform living rooms into a thrilling party featuring rapper Juvenile with anthems that rocked the 90s and early 2000s.

“When I was growing up and just starting out, I never saw myself as a legend,” says Jeffrey Osborne. It was my mother who served as my driving force, teaching me to believe in myself, and my wife who fearlessly supported me when I ventured beyond my successful group in times of transition and uncertainty."



The excitement level explodes as knockout performances by Lil' Mo, Sheléa, Sevyn Streeter, and Tweet dominate the stage, leaving the audience speechless and unable to fully capture the experience in words. Adding to the astonishment, a surprise performance by Da Brat leaves even honoree Missy Elliott speechless and in awe.
