and the original version of 'Serenity' (2008) is soon to be released on The Contemporary Soul Songbook Vol 3 (UK).

Live! On Woodrow Wilson Plaza continues every weekday until September 24th, when it concludes with a special 5:00 p.m. performance by the Godfather of Go-Go, Mr. Chuck Brown. The free series opened with a kick-off performance by the O’Jays on Wednesday, June 9th.
