Charlie Wilson • Babyface • K-Ci Hailey

Charlie Wilson became an icon of funk and R&B as co-founder and lead singer of the Gap Band, with hits like “Outstanding” and “You Dropped a Bomb On Me” turning backyard barbecues into instant dance parties for decades. As a solo musician, he’s kept generations of younger artists moving, scoring hits like “Charlie, Last Name Wilson,” collaborating with Snoop Dogg and Pharrell, and picking up a total of 13 Grammy nominations. Any time Uncle Charlie comes around, you know things are gonna get funky. 

Singer, producer, and songwriter “Babyface” is one of the most celebrated forces in music history. He’s the winner of 13 Grammys and has had a hand in an incredible 45 #1 R&B hits—and over 50 Top 10 Pop hits. He's worked with heavy hitters like Whitney Houston, Bruno Mars, Boyz II Men, and more. He'll play solo hits like “Every Time I Close My Eyes” and “Whip Appeal,” as well as songs he wrote and produced for other notable artists.    

Kicking things off is K-Ci Hailey. The smooth singer scored big hits as leader of Jodeci, including “Come & Talk to Me” and “Stay,” selling 20 million records worldwide in the process. Together with his brother (and Jodeci bandmate) JoJo, he carried that momentum into the 1990s with K-Ci & JoJo, winning an American Music Award and being nominated for three Grammys, including two for their iconic hit “All My Life.”
