Another intriguing element to ponder over. There seems to be a huge increase in the number of Classic R & B acts performing together. Although the Tempts and the Tops have done this for twenty years, adding the O'Jays and Whispers is practically like doing a Motown Revue of yesteryear.
Posters have mentioned being disappointed in current R & B songs. I wonder if this reaction by people is being noted which is why more and more of the Classic acts are performing. And then there are the PBS Rhythm and Blues fundraisers, and not just one show but three I can think of at the moment.

a big reason why they do these shows is because the largest segment of the population are the baby boomers. being born from 1946-1964, they would appreciate the motown and old school songs.

I guess she doesn't want to stay on the bus that long to make the trip out West. She might want to reconsider since Cher, Tina Turner and Kiss have rake in massive amounts of money (Especially Tina since she costed me $100) for the "farewell" tour.
