Great show
by biggerdog on 1/11/15Florida Theatre Jacksonville - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5JJ Walker was the MC for the event. His comedy routines were hilarious. He was great. He was also available after the show to sign autographs and to meet and greet. He was very engaging and personable. He is an awesome comedian and a great guy.
Cuba Gooding, Sr. was the first musical act. He is a great entertainer, He sang a nice intro and both of the Main Ingredient's hits. His voice was in good form. He was available after the show to meet and greet, and to sign autographs. He was very friendly and engaging. He was my favorite.
The Stylistics performed next after another JJ Walker bit. They stole the show. They sounded just like their recordings. They performed all their hits. Their dance moves were awesome. Three of the originals remain. It was worth going to the show just to see these guys.
After another JJ Walker bit, the Spinners (who now call themselves The Mighty Spinners on Facebook) came on stage. Only one of the originals remains. These are 5 very talented guys, and their performance was energetic and inspired. Their dance routines were great. They all have great vocal skills. The songs did not quite ring true to the recordings, but they were still really good. This is something you see at shows featuring classic groups who only have one or none of the original members remaining.
Overall, the show was great. JJ Walker did a fantastic job as MC. The Stylistics sounded just as good as they did 40+ years ago. Cuba Gooding, Sr. was awesome. The Spinners (aka The Mighty Spinners) did a great job. If you are a fan of 70s music (pre disco) and this show comes to your town, you need to see this show!
