Senior Happening: Rhonda Denet presents "All Hail the Queens"

The Livingston Public Library invites the public to the Senior Happening series on Friday, October 16th when Rhonda Denet will present "All Hail the Queens.” Take a captivating journey through the past and honor the indomitable female artists who shaped the musical landscape from the soulful 1960s through the groovin’ 1980s. These iconic women were the trailblazers who paved the way for today's music superstars, leaving an indelible mark across a spectrum of genres, from soul and rock-n-roll to disco, funk, quiet storm, and pop. Prepare to be enveloped in the spellbinding melodies that have become synonymous with legends like Aretha Franklin, whose voice was pure soul magic, Donna Summer, the undeniable queen of disco, the incomparable Chaka Khan, the unmatched vocal prowess of Whitney Houston, the dynamic Tina Turner, and an array of other exceptional talents.

This journey is a tribute to the timeless classics and the extraordinary artists who breathed life into them, reminding us of the rich tapestry of music history they wove. Get ready to immerse yourself in the music that has resonated across generations and continues to inspire artists today.

Rhonda performs regularly with her band The Bad Cats, as a lead vocalist for The Kazz Music Orchestra and as a cast member of the Off-Broadway show, “The Gong Show LIVE”. In addition she is proud to be the founder and primary performer for the Silver Fox Songs showcase series, a program which brings live music to appreciative populations at various community service organizations and celebrates American classics from Jazz to Soul.
