Songs from the 60s and 70s — Mostly Motown was so well received that another volume was developed to celebrate classic rhythm and blues and soul of the 60s and 70s.
February is Black History Month.
This second volume features music by the shining stars of Motown like The Temptations and the Jackson 5 as well as some of the underrated hit makers who shined after leaving the label. In addition, there are a few highlights from the Stax, Philles and Chess labels including Otis Redding, The Ronettes and Etta James.
Performed by Rhonda Denét who is proud to be the founder, manager, and primary performer for the Silver Fox Songs showcase series. This project offers her the opportunity to combine her passion for singing the classics with sharing the wonderful stories behind the songs and the artists who recorded them.
A star in her own right, Denét began studying music at an early age. Her passion led her to earn a Bachelor of Music from New York University and a graduate degree in Arts Administration from Florida State University’s School of Music. Since 2007, she has been active in the professional music scene throughout the New York Metro area. In addition to performing the Silver Fox Songs series, Rhonda performs with her band The Bad Cats and as part of several music and theater projects. She has also recorded three albums of original music that were released in 2010, 2013, and 2017.
When all in-person concerts were canceled in 2020, this allowed her time to develop virtual performances by way of pre-recorded concerts, a regular YouTube mini-concert series called BLISS BREAKS, and live streamed concerts via Zoom and Facebook Live. Now that in-person performances are slowly returning, she can offer those who attend a way to extend their experience with multi-media programs on SilverFoxSongs.com. In addition, these virtual showcases will now be offered to organizations across the country.
