Singer Harry Wayne ‘KC’ Casey says, “Many times during the ’70s we appeared on (popular variety show) Soul Train with Don Cornelius. I only wish he could still be here to share this magic moment we are going to have on the Soul Train Cruise.
“I’m looking forward to bringing our music alive once again, as we did so many times on the TV show.”
They are the latest artists to unveil plans to hit the high seas this year (14) – Megadeth and Anthrax are teaming up with Motorhead for a heavy rock cruise in September (14), while Joan Osbourne, Emmylou Harris and Heart have joined forces for the Grammy Festival at Sea: Women Who Rock event in November (14).
