Konzert: The Temptations Review feat. Glenn Leonard „60 Years Motown Gold - Greatest Hits Tour 2021“ Montag, 11. Oktober 2021, 20.00 Uhr “THE TEMPTATIONS“ sind der Inbegriff von „Soul Music made in USA“. Welthits wie „My Girl“, „Papa was a rolling stone“, oder „Treat her like a Lady“ mit über 100 Millionen verkaufter LPs machten sie zu Legenden. Soul Fans erwartet ein unvergleichlicher Konzertabend mit “THE TEMPTATIONS Review feat. Glenn Leonard “ auf ihrer “60 Years Motown Gold - Greatest Hits Tour. Die Liste an Gold- und Platinauszeichnungen, sowie Grammy Awards der „Emperors of Soul“ ist schier unerschöpflich. Bereits 1999 wurden die “TEMPTATIONS“ in die „Vocal Group Hall of Fame“ aufgenommen und gelten bis heute als die beste amerikanische Soulband aller Zeiten. Glenn Leonard ist seit 1975 Lead Sänger der “TEMPTATIONS“ und hat über 10 Alben mit der Supergroup produziert. 2013 wurde er in die „R&B Music Hall of Fame“ aufgenommen. Mit Joe Herndon (bass) stehen zwei original Sänger im lineup der Formation. Der coole Soul Sound der TEMPTATIONS grooved und lebt weiter in den Konzertsälen rund um den Globus. “THE TEMPTATIONS“ sind unweigerlich mit dem legendären „Motown Label“ aus Detroit, Michigan verbunden, das die weltweite Popkultur seit über 60 Jahren geprägt hat. Neben den TEMP´s erlangten in der Hitfabrik viele Stars wie u.a. „Marvin Gaye“, „Stevie Wonder“ „The Supremes“, „The Miracles“ oder „The Jackson 5“ mit Michael Jackson Weltruhm. Was heute quasi Show Standard ist - nämlich eine pfiffige Bühnen-Choreographie, sollte mit den “TEMPTATIONS“ zum Lehrstück angehender Popstars werden. Keine Gruppe vorher war in diesem Maße innovativ, bzw. durch ähnlich coole Tanz- und Showeinlagen aufgefallen. Das unverwechselbare Markenzeichen der “TEMP`S“ jedoch wurde ihr ausgefeilter, mehrstimmige Falsett- und Satzgesang. Der Begriff „Boygroup“ war geboren. Über drei Jahrzehnte dominierten “THE TEMPTATIONS“ so die Soul Charts rund um den Globus. Nur Michael Jackson hat diese Erfolge jemals übertroffen. Bis heute wird die Musik der “TEMPTATIONS“ überall im Radio sowie in den Diskotheken gespielt. Ihr Motown Sound ist aktueller denn je. Retro Style, New Soul, Funk und Disco Groove hat die Charts erobert, doch die Wurzeln dieses Trends führen zurück zu “THE TEMPTATIONS“. Keine Band beeinflusst die Styles der aktuellen Musik Szene bis in die heutige Zeit so nachhaltig wie “THE TEMPTATIONS“. The Temptations Review feat.

{PDF EPUB} Mere Temptation by Daisy Harris Get Ready for a Week of Unhinged Attacks on Biden and Harris
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Mere Temptation by Daisy Harris Get Ready for a Week of Unhinged Attacks on Biden and Harris. While the left is showing signs of dissatisfaction with the Democratic party’s candidate for president and arguing that the party’s program is not progressive enough, the right has become positively unhinged, warning that the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket will lead to full-blown Soviet-style socialism, or even the collapse and destruction of the United States. For his part, Biden’s policy proposals are solidly within the center-left mainstream. He has proclaimed his opposition to Medicare for All, calling instead for an expansion of health coverage through a public option; he has condemned the violence that has taken place during protests, particularly on the West Coast; and his campaign publicly repudiated and condemned Linda Sarsour’s stance on Israel after the left-wing activist’s appearance at a “virtual assembly” associated with the convention. The right, however, is not buying into John Kasich’s claim that Biden will not capitulate to the left. On the contrary, they are certain that if Biden is elected, he not only will move the United States to socialism but will implement every far-left proposal from the Green New Deal to socialized medicine. If Biden should win, they predict, Americans can expect Portland-style violence to be America’s future. On the Commentary website, senior editor Abe Greenwald writes that “What we’re witnessing, day after day, is revolutionary violence—and it is tearing up the country at a furious pace.” We cannot dismiss the violence because the rioters are young, Greenwald writes in the magazine’s September issue, because so were Mao’s Red Guards, and besides, “the Russian Revolution was preceded by 12 days of protests kicked off by a Women’s Day March.” The stakes are as high as they come: “The battle for the survival of the United States of America is upon us,” Greenwald says.
