“Rick Combs is pure vocal excitement.
He will touch your soul with Luther's, ‘A House Is Not A Home’, and then blaze through Al Jarreau's syncopated version of ‘Spain’. He can warm your heart with Chaka Kahn's, ‘Through The Fire’ and follow it with Usher's, ‘You Got It Bad’.
Rick Combs is beyond category!”
