NYCB Theatre at Westbury turns back the clock on Saturday, May 30 when The 1970’s Soul Jam takes the stage. Starring The Stylistics, Heat Wave, Rose Royce, Peaches & Herb and Three Degrees and featuring disco classics and favorite R&B grooves, the show begins at 8 p.m.
The Stylistics are one of the best soul music groups to come out of Philadelphia. Their string of ‘70’s hits include “Betcha By Golly Wow,” “I’m Stone In Love With You,” “Break Up to Make Up” and the classic “You Make Me Feel Brand New” just to name a few.
Best known for the international hits “Boogie Nights” and “Always & Forever,” Heatwave bring their disco funk sound to the round. The multi-national group was formed in Germany by sibling vocalists Keith and the late Johnny Wilder. Keith continues to lead the group and tour around the world.
Rose Royce became immediate sensations upon the release of their biggest hit, “Car Wash,” in 1976. The top 10 hit, “I Wanna Get Next To You,” followed in 1977 along with “Do Your Dance” later that year. The band is also known for their backing vocals and work with Edwin Starr, The Temptations and The Undisputed Truth.
The tasty duo of Peaches & Herb started recording in 1966 and had a string of Top 40 and R&B hits in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. It was their re-emergence on the music scene in 1978 with “Shake Your Groove Thing” and 1979’s “Reunited” that are best remembered today.
The trio from Philly, Three Degrees started recording in 1965 and were featured in the film, “The French Connection” in 1971. They topped the charts twice in 1974 with “TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)” and the classic “When Will I See You Again.”
