Doug Parkinson and his band will present a night of soul and rock classics at Milton Theatre on Saturday, October 12.
The electric current runs high generated by the powerful eight-piece band and the unique voice of Parkinson.
Joe Cocker and Ray Charles were irresistible forces. Cocker combined a love of American soul music with standout interpretations of other people's songs - Feelin' Alright, Hitchcock Railway, The Letter and You Are So Beautiful.
Ray Charles (The Genius) completely revolutionised popular music with his reinvention of songs in many genres including rock, soul, RnB, gospel, jazz and country to name a few.
Aretha Franklin known as 'The Queen of Soul' was one of the most successful, and highest selling female artists in the world, acknowledged my many as being one of the greatest female voices of all time.
So great was her impact on popular music, she is known worldwide simply as 'Aretha.'
Parkinson, often described as a "Rolled Gold Superstar" is a "master" of interpreting others' songs, will pay tribute to the legendary singers. Parkinson is also a multi-award winning artist of soul, rock and box office hit musicals.
A highlight of Parkinson's shows includes his own hit records, the iconic Dear Prudence, I'll Be Around, and Unchained Melody.
Throw in a handful of Motown classics and some redefined songs from your youth, exciting, funny and emotional stories from his life on the road and you have the recipe for an unforgettable night's entertainment.
From "sold out" theatres around Australia this new show is a night to remember and a night not to be missed.
Doug Parkinson & Band play on Saturday, October 12 from 8pm at Milton Theatre. Tickets $59 - visit miltontheatre.com.au.
