Charles Fox and Friends Present The Songs of Our Lives, Benefitting Fulfillment Fund

Posted in News on June 2, 2011

Venerable BMI composer and songwriter Charles Fox is bringing a handful of his distinguished songwriting friends together for an equally distinguished cause: The Songs of Our Lives, Volume IV is slated for Monday, June 13 at the Wadsworth Theatre in Brentwood, CA, and will raise money and awareness for the LA-based Fulfillment Fund.

In addition to hosting live music from Fox and collaborator Norman Gimbel, the co-creators of gems including “Killing Me Softly,” recorded by Roberta Flack and the Fugees, Jim Croce’s “I Got a Name,” Barry Manilow’s “Ready to Take a Chance Again,” and the themes for Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, the evening will also feature performances by Jeff Barry (The Dixie Cups’ “Chapel of Love,” Shangri-Las’ “Leader of the Pack,” The Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” and The Crystals’ “Da Doo Ron Ron”; The Rascals’ Felix Cavaliere (“Good Lovin’,” “Groovin’,” “A Beautiful Morning” and “People Got to Be Free”); Steve Dorff (Kenny Rogers’ “Through the Years,” Anne Murray’s “I Just Fall in Love Again” and Eddie Rabbit’s “Every Which Way But Loose”); Richard Marx’s “Don’t Mean Nothing,” “Should’ve Known Better,” “Hold on to the Nights,” “Right Here Waiting,” “Satisfied” and “Now and Forever”; Ambrosia’s David Pack (“You’re the Only Woman,” “The Secret of Moving On” and “How Much I Feel”); and Allee Willis (Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” and “Boogie Wonderland,” the Pointer Sisters’ “Neutron Dance” and “I’ll Be There for You,” the theme from Friends performed by The Rembrandts).
