Grammy Award winner Natalie Cole will perform classic hits from her 40-plus-year career at 8 p.m. July 18.
Cole soared to stardom in 1975 with her debut album, “Inseparable.” She earned a No. 1 single for “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” and her first two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
With her “Everlasting” album in 1987, Cole garnered three hit singles: “Jump Start (My Heart),” “I Live For Your Love” and her dance-pop cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Pink Cadillac.”
Cole marked a career milestone in 1991 with the release of “Unforgettable … With Love,” featuring a duet with her late father, Nat King Cole. The album spent five weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts, earned six Grammy Awards and sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.
Tickets for Cole’s concert go on sale at 10 a.m. May 15. Cost ranges from $24.95 to $59.95.
Patti LaBelle will perform at 8 p.m. Sept. 6.
LaBelle’s solo career began in 1977 with the release of her self-titled debut album.
In 1984, she achieved her first No. 1 R&B hit with “If Only You Knew,” then crossed over to pop music with singles such as “New Attitude” and “Stir It Up.”
Her success continued with “On My Own”, a duet with Michael McDonald. In 1991, Labelle earned her first Grammy.
The singer has since been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Apollo Hall of Fame and the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame.
LaBelle has sold more than 50 million records worldwide, and Rolling Stone Magazine includes her on its 100 Greatest Singers List.
