On Friday evening, some of Chicago’s well-known black professionals got a little “blast from the past” and re-lived days of their youth through the tunes provided by Valerie Simpson of the legendary music writing/performing duo Ashford & Simpson.
Simpson performed at Little Black Pearl (LBP) in Chicago, a community arts center located in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. The performance was a part of an ongoing series at LBP called Black: Unplugged.
LBP has worked tirelessly to create a positive and productive environment for underserved youth on the southside of Chicago. With a focus on education, the center has expanded its artistic initiatives beyond measure and will continue providing enjoyable performances for members of the community.
