Kitoto
Von Hebb is the daughter of Bobby Hebb. The late singer/songwriter,
Bobby Hebb,
toured with The Beatles and was a friend of theirs. His biggest hit, "Sunny,"
was recorded in New York. It reached #3 on the R&B charts, #2 on the
Billboard Hot 100, sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc.
When Hebb toured with The Beatles in 1966, "Sunny" was higher on the charts than
any Beatles song at the time.
Kitoto
has recorded with producer Joe Viglione (producer of the "Sunny" boxed set) and
her recordings feature Grammy-winning drummer Steve Holley (Paul McCartney's
Wings).
Barrence
Whitfield
is a Boston-based, internationally-followed R & B vocal powerhouse best
known for his live concerts as the front-man in Barrence Whitfield & the
Savages. Delivering soul, blues, funk, roots, jump and even rockabilly, Barrence
has been
described as "a soul screamer in the spirit of Little
Richard, Wilson
Pickett, Solomon
Burke.” Anyone who can be compared to one of
The Beatles' greatest influences, Little Richard,
is a singer who had to be part of this tribute.
Rich Pagano of the Fab Faux is the
musical director for the concert, and more performers are being added to the
bill.
