COLIN CURTIS presents a
LEROY HUTSON TRIBUTE
To celebrate his live appearance
in
LONDON @ Indigo 2 Saturday 31st May 2014

Soul Motion & Musical Therapy, in association with Band on the Wall present the legendary Leroy Hutson, hailed by Rolling

Stone Magazine as soul music’s best kept secret, live in Manchester for the first time.
One of the most underrated soul producers of the ‘70s, multi-talented producer, singer, songwriter and instrumentalist Leroy

Hutson began his career in various vocal groups around his hometown of Newark, NJ, in the ‘60s, but saw his early success as

a co-writer for Howard University roommate Donny Hathaway’s 1970 hit single “The Ghetto.” Hutson would later replace Curtis

Mayfield in 1971 as the lead singer in The Impressions and stayed with them until 1973, when he followed in Mayfield’s

footsteps and launched his own solo career. Although his lyrics were not as politically fuelled as Mayfield’s, Hutson’s

love-inspired lyrics and smooth, imaginative productions were responsible for a string of mid-'70s classics for which he is

best known.
Leroy will be performing songs from him extensive catalogue with full live band.
Joining Leroy on this special night for real soul lovers are the Ohio born siblings John & Billy better Known as The

Valentine Brothers. After starring in the musical “Wiz” they recorded the hit single “Money's Too Tight To Mention” (later

recorded by Simply Red) and subsequently went onto record other soul classics including “Lonely Nights” & “Let Me Get Close

To You”
