Celebrated
rock and roll, rhythm and blues and soul and funk acts from the ‘60s, ‘70s and
‘80s will perform some of their best-loved hits at the 105.7 The Oasis Love
Affair at the Orleans Arena on Saturday, February 16.
The
concert features an all-star lineup of romantic solo performers and groups
whose national-charted hits remain at the top of radio play lists around the
country.
Zapp,
the concert’s headliner, is best known for late ‘70s and early ‘80s hits “More
Bounce to the Ounce,” “Dance Floor,”, “Computer Love" and "I Wanna Be
Your Man.”
Launching
her career in 1978 with the hit single “Shame,” and the hugely popular
"Love Come Down," Evelyn “Champagne” King is a Grammy® Award-winning
R&B singer.
Bursting
onto the music scene in 1958 with the top five R&B hit “For Your Precious
Love,” The Impressions went on to chart four No.1 singles on the R&B charts
including "I'm So Proud", "It's Alright" and "People
Get Ready."
American
Latin-influenced rock and roll group Malo charted their first top 20 single in
1978 with the sultry Latin ballad “Suavecito,” sometimes called “The Chicano
National Anthem.”
The
Originals, often called “Motown’s best kept secret,” and who worked closely
with Marvin Gaye, are most notable for their hits “Baby I’m for Real,” “The
Bells” and “Down to Love Town.”
Songwriter
and singer Barbara Lewis wrote and recorded the hit song “Hello Stranger” in 1963,
then followed up with many more hits into the ‘60s, including “Baby I’m Yours”
and “Make Me Your Baby.”
Memphis
Soul trio The Temprees released three albums in the ‘70s -- “Lovemen,” “Love
Maze” and “Tempress 3” -- and are best known for songs like "Love Between
A Boy and Girl," "Dedicated to the One I Love" and "Out Of
My Reach."

first albums by a female artist with interspersed monologues (“raps”) and
musical backgrounds. They are best known for "I Love You For All
Seasons," "Like An Open Door" and their unique version of Smokey
Robinson's "Ooh Baby Baby."
