LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - On Sunday, March 16, Wayne Brady will be the latest contemporary talent to channel a music star from the 1960s for the NBC period drama "American Dreams." Brady will play Jackie Wilson and sing Wilson's hit song "Baby Workout" on the re-created "American Bandstand" that features prominently on the show. Wayne joins Michele Branch (Lesley Gore), Ashanti (Dionne Warwick), Vanessa Carlton (Dusty Springfield), Usher (Marvin Gaye), India.Arie (Nina Simone) and LeAnn Rimes (Connie Francis) who have all played singers from yesteryear on the freshman series. "It was amazing to witness," Wilson's daughter Sabrina, who was on set the day Brady filmed his performance, says. "Wayne really did a great job imitating his song, moves and mannerisms. It was like watching my father perform again." "American Dreams" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. |
