Marshall Thompson, Ira Tucker Jr. & Sheila Vance: Soul, Legacy & Juneteenth

Marshall Thompson from the legendary Chi-Lites will share his story with us. Before Marshall, Ira Tucker Jr. will step up. Ira was Stevie Wonder's former publicist; his dad was the lead singer of the famous gospel quartet the Dixie Hummingbirds, and his sister was a member of the Supremes. This week’s lineup is truly special, and Ira Tucker Jr., former publicist for Stevie Wonder, son of the lead singer of the iconic Dixie Hummingbirds, and brother of a member of the Supremes, will share his remarkable journey in music and beyond, bringing a unique, insider perspective on music, culture, and history. Before we hit the Music session, author Sheila Vance will draw a powerful connection between Juneteenth and the Revolutionary War, helping us understand our history in a deeper, more meaningful way. We’ll kick off the show with a review of the WDC primary results, then move into stories, insights, and conversations you won’t hear anywhere else.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
