The songs of Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5 and more will hit the Geelong stage on Friday night in a tribute to world-famous record label Motown.
US tribute acts Spectrum and Radiance joined forces several years ago to create Songs in the Key of Motown, which tours Australia until the end of June.
The male and female trios will take Geelong locals on a musical journey through the ’60s, ’70s and onwards with the hits which made the American label iconic.
Spectrum’s three singers hail from across the US and their backgrounds are as diverse as their voices.
The group includes singers E.C. Adams and Dru Young, along with Cushney Roberts, a Princeton-educated engineer who left corporate life to perform in Las Vegas.
Radiance features experienced entertainers Lyrehc Jordan, Wendy Edmead and Marque Munday, a former member of the iconic dance group the Radio City Rockettes.
The group’s repertoire includes Motown classics like Stop In The Name Of Love, Please Mr. Postman and more.
Together the six soul singers take a trip down memory lane from The Temptations and The Supremes to Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye.
Direct from Las Vegas, Songs in the Key of Motown features the choreography, costumes and harmonies of the artists who rose to fame with Motown.
The show has toured the world and visited Australia annually for the last six years.
Songs in the Key of Motown comes to The Playhouse at Geelong Performing Arts Centre 8pm this Friday.
