John Ellison – who created the R&B standard “Some Kind of Wonderful” as the singer and guitar-playing frontman of Soul Brothers Six – will knock your socks off with his trademark energy, soulful voice and award-winning lyrics.
Now 83, John Ellison is among the few still-active soul greats who has made an essential contribution to the development of blues, gospel, soul and funk music through a time of great social change. Ellison has a deep connection with Hamilton, having lived there for years and became a Canadian Citizen in 2006.
John received no fewer than seven lifetime BMI achievement awards and was inducted in the West Virginia and the Rochester Music Hall of Fame.
