 Malcolm
Pitt - Lionel Ritchie Tribute
- Biography
Malcolm pitt has been singing professionally
since 1989 when he appeared on Sky TV with his
soul band Times Square, who won "Sky Star
Search". In 1990 they took part in the
Manchester Evening News "Search for a Star", and
were runners up.
As lead singer and later manager of Times Square
he toured all over the UK and France as well as
Ireland, where they were particularly
successful. He left Times square when he was
'headhunted' by 11 piece soul band Turn It
Loose. Their manager asked Malcolm to stand in
for their lead singer and after seeing his
performance, asked him to stay
Turn It Loose were highly successful, but with
11 people in the band, money was short, and so
after three years with the band, Malcolm decided
to leave and pursue a solo career.
Malcolm would like to meet a songwriter with
ambition with whom he could collaborate. After
people said his singing voice sounded like
Lionel Richie, Malcolm approached some agents,
who said that he would be very successful if he
could develop a Lionel Richie tribute act. This
would mean he would move out of the working
men's clubs and smaller venues, and into the
Hilton Hotels, Village Hotels, and other
upmarket venues, including the Cafe Royale. Soon
he was performing all over Britain and Europe,
including Turkey, France, the Canaries and twice
a year, Marbella.
  In November 2000, Malcolm met Lionel Richie for
the first time at the opening of the Printworks
entertainment complex in Manchester. Malcolm had
wanted to meet him for many years, and he
describes the experience as 'rejuvenating'. He
enjoyed the opportunity to say 'thank you' to
Lionel Richie and to obtain his blessing for
what he has been doing for the past three years.
He got to meet Lionel again in June of
2009, and this time he appeared with 'Lionel as
Lionel' on Graham Norton's live Saturday night
show "Totally Saturday".
Malcolm's voice has evolved so that he does a
soul tribute, including the voices of Barry
White, The Drifters, Bob Marley and others.
Demand is growing for this new show. Malcolm's
performance is so good that lot of people think
that he mimes. To convince the doubters, he
often offers the microphone to members of the
audience. |
