Los Angeles, CA: For those of you too young to know or remember the 80s or the 70s. Well no doubt, the Singers and Artist from that era would have had you jumpin' to that time's Music. The "Sunset Junction Street Fair" is an Annual Event held right on SUNSET BLVD., in Hollywood every summer, in August, for the past 25 years. This years Street Fair was originally supposed to be headlined by ISSAC HAYES. But as everyone knows, we lost "Chef" (South Park) the day after the great Bernie Mac's demise. So. Some other folks stepped in from Mr. Hayes era to pay homage. People Like headliners: Sam Moore of "Sam & Dave" (Hit: Soul Man, Hold On I'm Comin'), whom Issac Hayes wrote many of the Duo's early hits. Jean Carn (Hit: Free Love) of the famous Philadelphia, Gamble & Huff team. There was Billy Paul (Hit: Me & Mrs. Jones), Michael Henderson (Hit: My Valentine & Can't We Fall in Love Again w/Phyllis Hyman), Jeffrey Osborne (Hit: Back in Love Again) and the incredibly talented & gorgeous, Stephanie Mills, star of the Wiz on Broadway. Plus dozens of hits. Stephanie "Rocked the house". Or should I say, "Rocked the Streets". It was amazing to see so much talent in one setting. We even had a few in the audience. Garrett Morris of the old SNL was there cheering on his buddy, Billy Paul.
So! If you ever plan on visiting Los Angeles in August, try looking up the schedule for the shows before hand, online. It's always on the weekend, both nights. Saturday and Sunday. And it's a great place for kids or adults. Theres tons of all sorts of ethnic food, rides, merchants and fun that stretches almost 20 square blocks. Here's the link to the Fair's Website and hope to see you next year!
