R. Kelly kicked it old school this past weekend at a private performance to benefit Clara’s House/West Englewood United Organization. The VIP event, which took place in his hometown of Chicago, saw Kellz looking dapper in a suit, clutching a cigar in one hand as he covered Sam Cooke’s “It’s All Right” and “A Change Is Gonna Come” with a full backing band. Check out the Pied Pier of R&B wowing the crowd at the 1950s gala.
