*In partnership with The Black Promoters Collective (BPC), legendary R&B artist Frankie Beverly concluded his “Farewell Tour” with two remarkable performances in Philadelphia this past weekend.
The shows took place on Thursday, July 4th, and Saturday, July 6th, at The Dell Music Center and also featured the Platinum-selling group The Whispers.
A highlight of the Saturday show was a surprise from the partners at The Black Promoters Collective, who donated $25,000 to Frankie Beverly’s Scholarship Fund. This organization supports minority students, particularly those aspiring to careers in the music industry, by providing essential financial aid. Frankie Beverly’s dedication to academic achievement, leadership, and community service aligns perfectly with BPC’s commitment to cultural integrity, social consciousness, and community reinvestment.
“It’s an honor to tell you face to face, I love you. On behalf of my partners, The Black Promoters Collective, we had the opportunity to tour this man around the world, a Black-producing promotion company. As we end this tour in our home city, we want to say thank you to a living legend,” said BPC’s Senior Talent Buyer & Partner, Walt Reeder Jr. This emotional moment underscored the significance of Frankie’s retirement after more than 50 years in the music industry, marking a monumental end to an illustrious career.
Additionally, Frankie Beverly was honored on stage by Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts and the City of Philadelphia’s mayor, Cherelle Parker, who delivered inspiring tributes to the music icon.
