Stevie Wonder, Santana Play Benefit Concert To Build MLK Mem

Posted over 2 years ago
What do Quincy Jones, Russell Simmons, and Tommy Hilfiger have in common? That's right, it's not style! The threesome are however organizing a benefit concert to build a memorial to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the National Mall in DC. (Who isn't organizing a benefit concert this year? I think even my mom is organizing a benefit concert...)The Dream Concert will be held at NYC's Radio City Music Hall on September 18th. Confirmed artists include headliners Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin as well as Robin Thicke, Bebe Winans, Cece Winans and Jessye Norman. Robin Thicke? Al Roker will be the presenter, and Ben Affleck, Shaquille O'Neal and LaDainian Tomlinson will be part of the event's hosts.The Dream Team who are trying to raise the essential funds to build the memorial have a super website. Check it out at:Build The Dream.orgThe party organizers should totally get a hold of some of the fantastic art pieces painted by DREAM from San Francisco. I have one in particular in mind. I will try to find it and post it here later.Here we go - this is the pic I had in mind when I wrote this:I am pretty sure that Dream painted this. If not, it is definitely by the TDK Crew which Dream ran with until his unfortunate death.

  1. fistula spume says I'm organizing a benefit to buy me more albums. So far only I'm contributing but I'd like to work on that. Give it up for Al Roker presenting. I would rather it be Bryant Gumbel but that's only because we share the same birthday. That is a cool site. Going to have to watch the video later. Thanks for posting. If your mom needs help with her benefit I would gladly contribute if she would do the same for mine. ;)
