The September 8th and 9th taping of An Evening of Stars(R) Tribute to Aretha Franklin benefiting the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) will be the first time in twenty eight years that the U-N-C-F's annual T-V special will be produced without legendary performer Lou Rawls, who died in January at the age of seventy two.
