    Greetings!

    I hope you enjoy the new format of our Lehigh Valley Edition of BNN. For all of you who inquired, there was no LV BNN in June due the needed changes to our email system.

    The enhanced layout should enable us to provide more information, more efficiently.

    I look forward to bringing you even more information that will help you to keep informed and connected!

    Sincerely,

    The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards, With Mary Wilson 8/13/04 7:00pm

    It'll be one, big jammin' party when Musikfest - America's Music Festival - takes place in downtown Bethlehem Aug. 6-15. The festival, presented by ArtsQuest, showcases more than 300 performers on 13 indoor and outdoor stages throughout the city's plazas, parks and streets. This year's lineup includes Clay Aiken, Chingy with Twista, Peter Frampton, The Temptations Review with Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Huey Lewis and the News, The Persuasions, Chris Botti, Lucinda Williams, Crosby, Stills and Nash and many other great acts.

    The Temptations, perhaps the finest male vocal group of the '60s, have produced some of the most classic songs of all time. Among their most well known are "My Girl," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "I Can't Get Next to You," "Ball of Confusion," "Just My Imagination" and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone."

    As a member of the world-famous Supremes, Mary Wilson was part of the female vocal trio that mesmerized the musical world while producing 33 Top 40 songs and 12 No. 1 hits. Members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Supremes will long be remembered for their enduring music, including "Where Did Our Love Go?," "Stop! In the Name of Love," "You Can't Hurry Love," "Someday We'll Be Together" and "Baby Love."
