Bringing a mix of Soul, Funk and Disco dance music your way. This dynamic and talented 8 piece band will have you dancing the night away reminiscing the good ol’ days. 

Amanda Dee and Evelyn Ruben have partnered in many popular sold out shows together, the last one being The Legendary Soul Divas,and continue once again with excitement sharing the stage with the soul man himself, Queency and their hot funky band, bringing this new vibrant soulful show your way. 

For 35 years, Soul Train was the beating heart of Black pop culture in America, considered appointment television for the millions of people who tuned in to discover the latest trends in music, dance, and fashion. In its more than 900 episodes, it launched musicians like Teena Marie, Curtis Mayfield, and the Jackson Five, and others like to new heights of fame. Now, 54 years after the groundbreaking show’s premiere, its impact on culture and history hasn’t diminished. 

Soul Train was an ensemble show, featuring musicians, dancers, comedians, and special guests who came together to put on a grand show. It was glittery and glamorous, but also intimate and personal, with celebrities like Aretha Franklin, Donna Summers, Chaka Khan, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Elton John, mingling with the dancers in the audience. Simply put, you couldn’t miss it.The Soullll Trainnn!,” And the iconic Soul Train line, where people make a corridor and one person has the spotlight, dancing wildly and passionately down the line as everyone claps and cheers. 

The small local show, often described as the Black version of American Bandstand, an ensemble show that was once only for whites, quickly took off due to the culture’s hunger for the show and its host’s hunger for success. (Don Cornelius’s son said Cornelius wanted to be the “next Black Dick Clark,” the host of American Bandstand).

But the biggest acts decided that they wanted to be a part of it and it became the place to be. Its tremendous popularity — it remains the longest first-run syndicated television series in broadcast history!
