Freedom Weekend V Concert Featuring Kenny Lattimore & Chante Moore (Fri., 4/28)

'Things that lovers do'

DETROIT, April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Freedom Institute's Freedom Weekend Rhythm and Blues 2006 concert will feature a husband and wife duet, Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore, entitled "Things That Lovers Do" at the Music Hall on Friday, April 28, 2006 at 8 p.m.

According to Maryann Lee, Executive Director for the Freedom Institute, Freedom Weekend has always included entertainment in its 3-day event, scheduled this year for April 27 through 29, 2006. Lee said, "Freedom Weekend V events are bound to be as informative, provocative and entertaining as previous years, mark your calendar and come enjoy the Weekend with us."

THINGS THAT LOVERS DO is, plainly and simply, an exquisitely executed stunner, an album of 12 duets that takes on deeper meaning with each listen. In an age where the game plan is to follow tried-and-true patterns, Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore decided to do things just a little bit differently. The 12 songs on THINGS THAT LOVERS DO -- two originals, "Things That Lovers Do" and "Loveable (From Your Head To Your Toes)" and covers of ten classic R&B love songs -- act as a window into their tight-as-a-glove relationship, and as an inspiration to those on the path to love. The seed of recording a duet project came from Kenny's manager, Michael Mauldin, who jump-started Lattimore's solo career at his previous label, Columbia Records, and stayed in contact with Kenny after they both left the label. "The timing was perfect, because Michael didn't know that we had gotten married," Kenny relates (Jan. 1, 2002).

"We entered the studio in March of 2002, and thought the idea for us to record an album of duets was so cool. The first idea was for us to do cover songs, a tribute to duets, which sounded easier than it was. First of all, you have to pick your favorite songs out of millions. Some songs (Teddy Pendergrass' 1978 "Close The Door" and the Commodores' 1979 "Still"), we made into duets. Then we had to figure out which we could bring magic to; what do we feel we can sincerely bring something different to, yet keep the integrity." Chante adds, "The recording process was really intense. I had recorded duets with several other people, but for me to sing songs that I believe in, and then sing songs with the man I really love, it was a new dimension.

And now, audiences can join in the celebration with THINGS THAT LOVERS DO. They will have a cornucopia of songs dedicated to the art of love between two lovers who respect each other.
