Baltimore's Best Street Performer - Charles Lee

Singer Charles Lee - Baltimore Inner HarborOn the way back to the Light Rail tonight, I stopped by the ampitheater at the Inner Harbor to listen to and watch Charles Lee.

I've seen Mr. Lee a few times before here, and he absolutely deserves his title as Baltimore's Best Street Performer.

He performs with a high-end karoke system and top-notch karoke disks (good arrangements, well-performed,) adding his excellent vocal renditions of mostly Motown oldies. There isn't a clunker in his portfolio - they're all classic hits that you gotta just love, and you'll love the way he handles them. In I Can't Get Next To You, he pulls off the neat trick of doing a very credible imitation of each of the five Temptations - quite a vocal range, if you remember that song.

Mr. Lee's website is here.

And if you stop to listen and enjoy him at the Inner Harbor this summer, don't forget to leave a generous tip!

Nice capture, Steve! I can practically hear him singing :). And the two painted exploding fireworks are well positioned.

The letter "P" is just a little bit distracting, though. It leaves me wondering what word it came from :P.

Thanks Warren - yeah, you're right - the "P" is a pain ;-)

I think it's from HARBORPLACE - but I'll check it out on the way home.

I'll see if I can't clone it out - that would probably improve the image.

Best regards,

Nice composition, Steve. I like the starbursts in the background behind him.

As for the "P", I didn't even notice it till I read the comments section.
