Allen Media Strategies clients Leonard, Coleman and Blunt have been around the world and back again several times as the lead singers of three of the most legendary vocal groups of all time: The Temptations, The Platters and The Drifters.

The three Washington, D.C. natives have a back-story right out of a Hollywood movie; Leonard, Coleman and Blunt grew up singing together in church and on street corners throughout the 1960s before finding fame and fortune separately. They reunited after 30 years to harmonize together once again.

With over 60 years of hit-making, these three men have amassed quite a few stories to go with their awards. Glenn Leonard recorded 10 hit albums with The Temptations, has toured the world, and sang lead on many of their 1970s and 1980s R&B hits. Joe Coleman had a two-decade stint with The Platters as their lead singer as well as enjoying a successful career as a songwriter and playwright. Joe Blunt had a decade long career with The Drifters, has toured the world and sang alongside Ben E. King and Johnny Moore, and earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from Sony Records. While those past accomplishments are impressive, they continue to write and record new music, including their newest release "My Time to Shine."

Concert attendees are treated to incredible showmanship, classic dance moves, and some of the biggest hits of all time, including "My Girl," "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "Get Ready," "The Great Pretender," "Only You," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "Under the Boardwalk," "On Broadway," "Save the Last Dance for Me," and many, many more.

Leonard, Coleman and Blunt will perform Sunday, May 13, at 7:00p.m. at The Carlyle Club, 2050 Ballenger Avenue in Alexandria, V.A. Tickets are available at http://www.thecarlyleclub.com or by calling 703-548-8899. For more information on the artists visit http://www.leonardcolemanandblunt.com
