The Colors of Christmas follows up on its smashing return last season with a program featuring legendary artists including Peabo Bryson, Oleta Adams, and Ruben Studdard in a spectacular program of Christmas classics and greatest hits with the San Francisco Symphony.

Born Robert Peabo Bryson on April 13, 1951 in Greenville, South Carolina, this world renowned balladeer got his start as the lead singer of Al Freeman & The Upsetters and Moses Dillard & The Tex-Town Display. In 1976, he released his debut LP, “Peabo”, on Atlanta’s Bullet/Bang label. Peabo composed nearly all the songs for this album (some with the great Thom Bell), in addition to a young Luther Vandross being among the background vocalists, and sexy Black film star Tamara “Cleopatra Jones” Dobson showing him love on the back jacket.
