    Our Country Club in Boca Raton had the group twice and they put on a great show. All of the members sing lead and can really dance. Their covers sound exactly like the original Motown artists.

  3. Recently saw the track version of Larry’s show at Kings Point Delray and it was sensational.

  6. DONT MISS THESE GUYS!

    My husband and I have seen them 3 times and they put on an absolutely phenomenal show.

    Our most recent show was at KP in Delray Beach a month ago and Larry Johnson had the crowd literally eating out of his hand.

  7. Sal DeMarco says...

    A few years ago our cc in Boca Raton had this group headline our season opening party. They were terrific . They were so good that a year later we brought them back to headline our New Year’s Eve Party. A year later they were back for another show in our monthly entertainment series.
    Don’t miss them!
