The Philadelphia Music Walk of Fame, a collection of more than 100 bronze
plaques lining the Avenue of the Arts and honoring the city's most beloved
artists, is preparing to add seven more musicians to its illustrious list this
spring, the Philadelphia Music Alliance announced on Tuesday. 

This year's inductees include Leslie Odom Jr., radio personality Patty Jackson
and The Bacon Brothers. The organization, which has paused operations since its
2019 Walk of Fame ceremony, will also present a special award to Kenny Gamble,
Leon Huff and Thom Bell for "the Sound of Philadelphia," the Philly-based soul
music the composers are credited with developing. Each of the composers was
added to the Walk of Fame in 1993.

"The Walk of Fame is the city's most impressive public monument to the people
who have made Philadelphia a great music city," said Mark Schulz, managing
director for the Philadelphia Music Alliance. "Our 2023 inductees have deeply
influenced how music is experienced, not only in Philadelphia but around the
world." 



Those inductees include Odom Jr, an East Oak Lane native, who began his career
as a solo artist, releasing his self-titled debut album two years before taking
on his Tony-winning role as Aaron Burr in "Hamilton." He also portrayed Sam
Cooke in Amazon's "One Night in Miami," took a supporting role in "The Sopranos"
prequel "The Many Saints of Newark" and most recently joined the star-studded
cast of Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." His first children's
book, "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," will be released on March 28. 

Actor Kevin Bacon and his brother, film score composer Michael Bacon, formed The
Bacon Brothers in 1994 as a way to explore their shared love of American roots
music. Their signature sound, called "forosoco," is a blend of folk, rock, soul
and country music, has taken the brothers across the country to perform on
iconic stages including the Grand Ole Opry and Carnegie Hall. The band's latest
release, a five-song EP entitled "Erato," continues to eclectically blend
musical styles, American Songwriter reported. 

John DeBella, host of a popular morning show on Classic Rock 102.9 WMGK, boasts
a career in radio and entertainment spanning more than 47 years. He previously
worked as a stand-up comedian and television host, and created comedy for the
"National Lampoon Radio Hour" starring John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd
and Bill Murray. Each year, DeBella sponsors a Dog Walk in Montgomery County and
the Turkey Drop with WMGK and CityTeam Philadelphia in the days leading up to
Thanksgiving. 

Originally named The Latineers, The Tymes began an illustrious career in 1963
with "So Much In Love," which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Two of its
three members have been there since the beginning — Albert "Caesar" Berry and
Norman E. Burnett. They added John Stone as lead vocalist following the death of
George Williams in 2004, and now tour as the Original Tymes.

Radio personality and podcast host Patty Jackson got her start in broadcasting
in Camden before moving to Philly, where she worked at WXTU and Power 99 before
arriving at her current station, WDAS, where she hosts a mid-day show in
addition to her popular YouTube channel. In 2021, the 2300 block of Ellsworth
Street in South Philadelphia was renamed "Patty Jackson Way" in honor of her
contributions to local culture, the Philadelphia Tribune reported. 

James DePreist, Marian Anderson's nephew, established the first National Jazz
Fraternity at the University of Pennsylvania and worked as an assistant
conductor of the New York Philharmonic alongside Leonard Bernstein. His
decades-long career included work with the Oregon Symphony, Boston Symphony,
National Symphony in Washington, D.C., the Juilliard School and the Tokyo
Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. DePreist authored two poetry books and was
awarded 13 honorary doctorates before his death in 2013. 

The Philadelphia Music Walk of Fame will also honor Ed Rendell, who served two
terms as Philadelphia's mayor and Pennsylvania's governor before focusing his
energy on green and alternative energy. During his time as mayor in the early
1990s, Rendell helped to spearhead the creation of the Avenue of the Arts, which
spans Broad Street from Washington Avenue in South Philadelphia to Glenwood
Avenue in North Philadelphia. 

The honorees will have their bronze plaques added to the Philadelphia Music Walk
of Fame during a day-long ceremony on the Avenue of the Arts on April 20. The
celebration concludes with an evening gala, which will be held at Vie by
Cescaphe in Spring Garden. 

The Philadelphia Music Walk of Fame is open to the public, with plaques honoring
musicians, composers and other famous names in the industry including Dick
Clark, Bobby Rydell, Jerry Blavat, Hall & Oates, Nina Simone, Boyz II Men, Joan
Jett, DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Roots, Patti LaBelle, Sister Sledge, Jill Scott and the
Philadelphia Orchestra.
