Mother’s Day Soul Jam
- The Stylistics: These Vocal Group Hall of Famers pumped a dozen straight Top 10 hits onto the Philadelphia soul scene, including “You Make Me Feel Brand New” and “Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart).” At live shows, they still blend their signature falsetto with sharp suits and dance moves.
- The Emotions: The Hutchinson sisters—Wanda, Sheila, and Jeanette—hit it big in the ’70s thanks to their close relationship with Earth, Wind & Fire and the single “Boogie Wonderland,” but their best-known song is probably “Best of My Love.”
- Bloodstone: In the early ’70s, these Kansas City soul men took to the sky with the pillow-soft slow jam “Natural High”—later used to full effect in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown.
- Heatwave: The disco-funk group brought celestial harmonies to ’70s grooves including “Boogie Nights” and the romantic “Always and Forever.”
- Harold Melvin’s Blue Notes: Although founding members Harold Melvin and Teddy Pendergrass have passed on, their legacy continues in such tunes as “Wake Up Everybody” and “The Love I Lost”—both classics of Philadelphia soul.

About Arie Crown Theater
The Arie Crown Theater—named after Lithuanian-native business tycoon, Arie Crown, and Theater, his loyal shar pei—has been a Chicago staple since 1960. Although its home at McCormick Place caught fire in 1967, somehow the theater was spared. It emerged from the smoke to welcome the biggest names in entertainment to its stage, acts including the Rolling Stones, the Temptations, the Bolshoi Ballet, and Jerry Seinfeld as well as stagings of Hello Dolly with Carol Channing and The King and I with Yul Brenner.
