*More often than I choose to remember, I’ve witnessed performers attempt to craft a career in the shadow of a famous parent.
No shade intended, but usually, those performers are closer to Lisa Marie Presley than Natalie Cole.
So when I read about the February 19 “Daughters of the Rhythm and Blues” performance at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, I did so with trepidation.
The performance will feature Robyn Charles, daughter of the late songwriter and vocalist Ray Charles; Carla Cooke, the daughter of R & B vocal titan Sam Cooke; and Rhonda Ross, daughter of entertainment legend Diana Ross and Motown mogul Berry Gordy.
While Charles, Cooke, and Ross are an A LIST if ever there was one, when I read that Rhonda Ross was on the bill, I breathed a sigh of relief. Having witnessed her gift firsthand, and having interviewed her a couple of years ago, I knew that the February 19 audience was in for a treat.
