Voices of Classic Soul Raise Money for Cancer Research

Los Angeles, CA. Legendary R&B and soul singers Joe Coleman, Joe Blunt, and Theo Peoples came together as the Voices of Classic Soul to perform the Sounds of Summer concert on June 17th. The concert was virtually presented by the Worthy Brewing Company, a solar-powered sustainable brewery located in Oregon, and mesothelioma and asbestos cancer lawyers and research funders Worthington & Caron. Sounds of Summer was held to raise funds for research conducted by and support provided by the Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute (PHLBI).

The setlist for Sounds of Summer included hits like “Under the Boardwalk,” “Stand by Me” and “My Girl” as well as other songs from popular vocal groups The Temptations, The Platters, The Drifters, and Four Tops, which the singers of Voices of Classic Soul were part of during their long, accomplished careers. Each ticket for the event was $20, of which a portion went directly into funding PHLBI’s research on treatment for mesothelioma and other chest cancers. The concert was held virtually on YouTube using a special link and anyone who had purchased a ticket had the opportunity to rewatch it for the next 7 days.
