SCOTT CRONICK When Producer Allen Valentine was originally putting together a concept for a Motown production show, his biggest issue was that he had too many songs that he wanted to include. It turns out Valentineâs dilemma has proven a blessing as Motown Forever, the latest incarnation of Valentineâs stunning Motown tribute at Ballyâs Atlantic City, digs deeper into the producerâs Motown music vault, offering audiences a fun, fresh show while holding onto the audience favorites that never grow tired. One of the best parts of Motown Forever is that itâs the first time Ballyâs has hosted live entertainment in 13 years. Yes, you read that right: 13 years! And the new owners â Ballyâs Corporation, formerly Twin River Worldwide Holdings â is showing it is committed to turning the property around, meaning a complete experience that will include regular entertainment.
We need to discuss JLo sneaking Let s Get Loud into Biden s inauguration 2021-01-20 19:06:47 UTC Inauguration Day was obviously huge for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, but were you aware that Jennifer Lopez made history at the ceremony, too?
