Review by James C.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 13, 2024•From Chestnut Hill, MA
R.D. King has a remarkable talent for creating great music and perceiving the dynamics of social interactions. Effectively reading a room is an invaluable skill, especially for someone performing in front of guests at a function. It suggests a high level of emotional intelligence and sensitivity. R.D. King performance was just what we wanted.
