Della Reese "MY LIFE IN SONG" will make a very rare appearance at the Rrazz Room for three performances only.

Legendary singer and actress. Born Deloreese Patricia Early in Detroit, Michigan.Reese began on the path that would lead her to show business by singing in her family's church at the age of six. Her talents landed her touring with gospel great Mahalia Jackson while still only a teenager. By 18, Reese had formed The Meditation Singers, the group that became the first to take gospel music to the nightclubs of Las Vegas. Reese began making records with the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra in the 1950s and produced such hits as"Don't You Know," and "That Reminds Me." She also began performing on television variety shows and was a regular guest on The Ed Sullivan Show.

From 1969 to 1970, she hosted a television talk show while guest starring on many television shows into the 1980s, including Sanford and Son, Chico And The Man, Crazy Like a Fox, and Picket Fences. In 1987, she was nominated for a Best Female Soloist in Gospel Music Grammy Award. In the late 1990s, she landed a starring role on television's Touched By An Angel, alongside Roma Downey and John Dye, while continuing her music career.

Singing and entertaining audiences through the years has made her the happiest. These specials performances also celebrate Ms. Reese's 80th Birthday.
