Rickey Minor, music director for American Idol, will serve as producer and music director for A Soulright Evening. Minor, a four time Emmy nominee, previously spent nearly four years jamming alongside Jay Leno as the leader of the famed Tonight Show Band. In addition, Minor has worked with Ray Charles, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and many other great talents.

“Stevie Wonder is one of the most prolific artist and songwriter of our time. I'm so happy that these incredible ladies have joined us in the celebration of his storied career. It will certainly be, ‘A Night to Remember’,” said Minor.
