SUMMARY:Ladies of Soul\, Vol. 3: A Celebration of Alicia Keys\, Lauryn Hill & Mary J. Blige
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating three of the most iconic and influential voices in modern R&B and soul! \n  \nLadies of Soul\, Vol. 3 honors the artistry\, songwriting\, and cultural impact of Alicia Keys\, Lauryn Hill\, and Mary J. Blige. Here\, each of these artists reshaped contemporary soul by blending R&B\, hip-hop\, jazz\, gospel\, and raw emotional storytelling. \nThe evening will feature powerhouse vocal performances backed by an A-List band.
