It was a sold out crowd that packed the Cook Convention Center for the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis annual Tribute Luncheon. The audience was wowed by Broadway star and recording artists Shoshana Bean, who charmed the crowd with her appreciation of Memphis music, bar-be-que, and the work that the Women's Foundation does to improve the lives of women and children. Bean then belted out a soulful R&B tune. It turns out several members of her band are originally from Memphis, and she couldn't wait to tour the city. Bean visited the STAX Music Academy, which she praised. Several attendees whipped out their checkbooks to be one of 200 people to receive Shoshana Bean's latest CD.
