Jones for Karaoke
May 6, 2005
Jack Jones attended Monday night's Celebrity Karaoke at the Bootlegger, witnessing a phenomena that has grown more phenomenal since its inception several years ago.
The restaurant/lounge is standing room only every Monday night.
Jones (who sang "The Love Boat" theme) didn't sing, but he got a kick out of a night of performances by Clint Holmes, Bill Fayne and about 20 other performers -- some professionals and some very good amateurs. Host/performer Kelly Clinton kept the evening rolling at a fast clip with her comedy and vocal skills. Also attending Monday's bash
were Sandy Hackett and his bride, Lisa Miller, and Miller's father, Ron, a legendary songwriter with Motown. Among those who performed were Sharon Sills, owner of Rose of Sharon Boutique; Buffy Lucas and Rashida Jordan (both with Gladys Knight); Genevieve; Willie Ray (a James Brown tribute artist); and 16-year-old Erika Avila. Also performing were Frank Sinatra tribute artist Ryan Baker; Dave
Russo (runner-up in Wayne Newton's "The Entertainer" reality TV series); Rheda Williams; Caz Solomon; and Wells Bond, former keyboardist with Elvis.
