Classic R & B and gospel performer, Teddie Morrow will be singing in the Food Court from 9:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Anyone who heard the Tower of Power and the Whispers perform back in the ‘60s ad ‘70s remembers the funkadelic horn sound coming out of Oakland, CA. Singing right with them and opening their shows was Teddie Morrow.
The electrifying Stax performer, Rance Allen, loved performing with Morrow in the day. On more than one occasion on stage Rance said, “Teddie, you take me back home.”
Morrow still has a hugely impressive five-octave voice range and moves a man half his age would love to have.
