The night concluded with banging performances from the legendary member of The Jackson 5, Tito Jackson and Pepsi?s Artist of the Month, V. Bozeman.
The July edition of ATL Live on the Park was sponsored by Gentleman Jack, Pepsi, ChooseATL, MAJIC 107.5 and Boom 102.9 and co-produced by Shanti Das and Marlon Nichols.
It was clear to see who the old (and new) school crowd was there to see as Tito Jackson took the stage! The multi-platinum selling Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member performed a series of songs from his soon to be release album, Tito Time. Jackson closed his set with his chart topping single, Get It Baby. Host Ed Lover took a moment to thank Jackson and his family for all of their work and music they provided over the years. Lover also expressed his personal condolences to the Jackson family for the loss of Michael Jackson. In return, the accomplished guitarist, performer and now solo artist thanked the fans for loving his family and giving him a reason to keep making music.
Shortly after, Bozeman grabbed the emotions of the audience as she opened her set with a bold musical performance of Race Jones. In the wake of Mike Brown?s shooting, Bozeman choose to use this single as a platform for change.
Bozeman encouraged the audience to stand in their greatness and also told the crowd that as an artist it is her responsibility to utilize her platform to uplift people. Bozeman continued her set with a cover of Michel’le’s ‘Something in my Heart’.
The Empire star then performed her #1 downloaded single What is Love. Bozeman closed the set with her newest single, GO.
ATL Live on the Park continues with its annual all-white affair on Tuesday, August 9, 2016. The official line up will be released next month.
