Deets: For one night only, lady of soul and Grammy-winning artist Patti LaBelle makes her long overdue return to Brooklyn alongside fellow R&B Grammy Award winner Billy Ocean for a Valentine’s Day weekend to remember.
Beautiful does not even begin to describe the incomparable force known as Patti LaBelle. As time evolves, the soulful songbird’s name has become synonymous with grace, style, elegance, and class. Belting out classic rhythm & blues renditions, pop standards, and spiritual sonnets sets the unique platform of versatility that LaBelle is revered for.
Billy Ocean is one of the most popular British R&B singer-songwriters of the early to mid-1980s. After scoring his first four UK Top 20 successes, seven years passed before he accumulated a series of transatlantic successes, including three US number ones. In 1985, Ocean won the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his worldwide hit, “Caribbean Queen,” and in 1987 he was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male.
