The Harlem Gospel Choir, the most famous gospel choir in America and one of the preeminent gospel choirs worldwide, brings the music of Harlem and the black church to Times Square in a joyous celebration of high-energy, hand-clapping singing and dancing. Made up of the finest singers and musicians from Harlem's black churches and the New York/Tri-State area, the choir strives to create a better understanding of African-American culture and make the world a more loving and peaceful place. Allen Bailey was inspired to create the choir in 1986 after attending a celebration at Harlem's Cotton Club in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That inspiration can be felt in the music today, as the choir's uplifting songs of hope touch the soul and raise the spirit.

This was my second time seeing this show and I look forward to seeing them again. I attended with a party of 6 and all of us enjoyed the show. There was nothing to complain about. Great singing and an excellent band. Can't wait to hear them again.Written on Jul 04 2011

The revue was a 5. Great energy and high performance quality. However, I would give BB King's a 3. The food and drinks were over-priced and the food quality was only fair.Written on Jul 04 2011

Description
Many black artists had made political statements in the wake of the early '70s, most noteworthy are Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and Sly & The Family Stone's There's A Riot Goin' On - both albums released the same year. Where Gaye asked "What's going on?" Sly answered back saying, "There's a riot goin' on". These are quite possibly the two greatest albums of social commentary of black culture and to the world in large.
Dr. K's Motown Revue: This outstanding band of musicians and singers takes you on a very realistic journey of the Motown sound, and makes you want to sing along on every familiar song they play. They have kept the Motown sound true to its roots and each and every performance they do transports you back to another era . . . what a ride!
Their appeal in large part is attributable to the perfect blend of the Motown era costumes worn and the outstanding group of singers who compliment this latter day "Funk Brothers" type band of musicians. Each singer is quite capable of fronting any band as a soloist and the combination of singers is more than enough to deliver authentically the vocal sound of the Motown roster of artists from that time.
