| Monica Lisa Stevenson and Gloretta McNeil prepare to join in as Dorothy Norwood sings a tribute to Albertina Walker. |
Norwood sang a tribute to the late Albertina Walker as Monica Lisa (“the fifth Caravan”) Stevenson and Gloretta McNeil took turns soloing. Together the three brought attendees to their feet.
Other legends who took the stage during the quartet program included the Fantastic Violinaires, Thomas Spann and the Brooklyn All Stars, Luther Barnes and the Sunset Jubilaires, the McDonald Sisters, Victory Travelers, and Evelyn Turrentine-Agee. The 86 year-old Spann duetted with his daughter Barbara on a sweat-drenched version of “Too Close to Heaven.”
