 Dee Dee allowed Sharisse and Shontelle each a brief star turn, singing a minute or two before passing the lead onward for a different song from a different singer while the band seamlessly segued behind them. Dee Dee made sure to introduce _Hound Dog_ as a Big Mama Thornton tune, just in case anyone needed to be reminded that it didn't come from Elvis. (That it was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller apparently wasn't worth a mention!) Dee Dee allowed Sharisse and Shontelle each a brief star turn, singing a minute or two before passing the lead onward for a different song from a different singer while the band seamlessly segued behind them.

-The horns returned for a fabulous rendition of _Try a Little Tenderness_, closing following Otis Redding's take rather than the 1932 big-band original. (And what of der Bingle's version? We shall now pretend that the alternative wasn't even mentioned). Herewith the show wound down, and after quick bows, the performers left the stage while the audience hooted and hollered for more. Of course they came back, and then Dee Dee surprised me by leading the house into a sing-along, sway-along, wave-your-hands-in-the-air version of _Purple Rain_. Incongruent with the theme of the evening, yeah, but you gotta let the diva do what she wanna, right?+The horns returned for a fabulous rendition of _Try a Little Tenderness_, closing following Otis Redding's take rather than the now quite dated 1932 big-band original.
