On Tuesday, June 23, 2015 The Rhythm & Blues Foundation will be hosting its first Black Music Month after work fundraiser of the year, “Soul of the 90’s: An R&B Tribute”, at the luxurious Attic Rooftop Lounge in Times Square. Michael Bivins, of New Edition and Bell Biv Devoe fame, will be anchoring a stellar lineup of special guest hosts that includes 90’s super groups Allure (“Enjoy Yourself” “All Cried Out”) and Intro (“Love Thang”). An all 90’s soundtrack by celebrity DJ’s Jon Quick and DJ Commish will be provided.
Founded in 1988, the Rhythm & Blues Foundation, Inc., (the Foundation) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the historical and cultural preservation of Rhythm & Blues music, and recognition of contributions of its participants to our musical heritage. The Foundation provides financial and medical assistance, educational outreach, performance opportunities, and archival activities to support its constituents and fulfill its mission.
Michael Bivins stated the following in reference to his involvement with the fundraising event… “The rhythm of music is what makes us feel good and when we celebrate the era of the 90’s, it takes us to a place where many artists’ careers took off and gave us a time period we still need today for the soul of music! Support the Rhythm & Blues foundation and bring your party spirit. Let’s have a night of music and charity!”
Damon Williams, Chairman of the Board for the Rhythm & Blues Foundation further added “The Rhythm and Blues Foundation is honored that R&B artists from the 90’s are getting together to support our mission of preserving the legacy of R&B music. This tribute and fundraiser will help the Foundation continue its programs that help artists and educate the world about the impact of R&B music.”Super producer Kashif, along with Dedra N. Tate, Louise West, Esq., Ted Reid, Lance Hope, Matt Middleton Esq., Steve Pamon, and Thomas Lytle are amongst a legendary group of industry veterans and NYC tastemakers lending their support as members of the host committee for this historic event.
