Class Act Featuring Rita

CLASS ACT featuring Rita was formed in the early 1980’s, with the intent of producing a sound that was true to form of Classic R&B. This was not a difficult task to achieve, seeing how the founder of Class Act (Bob Angelucci), was also the founder of The Magnificent Men, a band from Central PA that gained national recognition during the late 60’s and early 70’s.

    It didn’t take long before CLASS ACT was recognized as one of the leaders in musical entertainment in the Central PA market. They have a stage presence second to none. They work very hard at what they do, but truly enjoy every minute of it. They  have a passion for capturing the audience.

    With an extensive listing of songs, they are able to build their performance around the audience.  You just never know what might be coming up next. Over the years, they have done some recording, but in 1996, due to popular demand, CLASS ACT went in to the studio, and released their first album, “GOTCHA COVERED”. The album covers a wide spectrum of material that pretty much gives you an insight as to what these eight musicians are capable of.

    Over the past few years, they have had the privilege of working with some big names in the music industry, such as, The IMPRESSIONS, HAROLD MELVIN and the BLUE NOTES, EDDIE HOLMAN, The INTRUDERS, The FOUR TOPS, The  SOUL SURVIVORS, The DUPREES, and The Fabulous TEMPTATIONS. Beginning in 2004, while paying tribute to The MAGNIFICENT MEN, Class Act, and members of the Mag Men, have performed to sell out crowds six consecutive years in a row at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg, PA.  Even with various personnel changes over the years, the band plays on, and still holds claim as to being a leader of musical entertainment in Central PA.
