As part of the City of Aventura’s Aventura Arts & Cultural Center Summer Concert Series, “The Great American Soul Book” will audiences on a journey through decades of Motown, R&B and other iconic soulful musical chart-toppers on Saturday, July 13 at 8 p.m.
Performed by the high-energy American Soul Band of seven singers and six musicians, The Great American Soul Book will turn up the summer heat with groovin’ and dancin’ music from the ‘60s through the ‘90s and beyond.

Kelly and many more.
In addition to touring as Diana Ross in Lady Supreme, Carroll’s career credits include recording backing vocals for jazz saxophonist Paula Atherton, British sensation Joss Stone and Bobby Wilson in his tribute to his legendary late father, R&B/Soul Singer Jackie Wilson. Carroll has also been featured in live television performances as a backing vocalist for Vitamin C and performed with Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Little Anthony and Darlene Love, among others.
