Leonard, Coleman and Blunt performed classic hits to a sold-out crowd at the historical MetroStage, the oldest professional theatre in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Glenn Leonard, Joe Coleman and Joe Blunt wowed the audience with snazzy jazzy choreography, Motown oldies but goodies, rhythm and romance, rock n roll, doo wop, and soul-stirring sing-along favorites.
Where did it all begin? The three singing sensations are native Washingtonians, living a reminiscent story right out of a Hollywood movie; young men singing on street corners throughout the 1960s and singing together in church.
Joe Coleman remembers meeting Joe Blunt at church for the first time as members of the Junior Choir, which was directed by his mom Rev. Effie Coleman and Joe’s Blunt’s mom Rev. Nan Brown. “We were seven or eight years old, my mom told me to get ready for choir rehearsal to which I said, ‘Mom, I’m not in the choir.’ Mom replied, ‘Oh, I didn’t tell you… you’re in the choir!’, he recalls. Then, in 1967, Joe Blunt and Glenn Leonard, fresh out of D.C.’s McKinley Tech High School joined forces in a local vocal group.
Leonard, Coleman & Blunt with their faith rooted in God, each followed their individual dreams and was blessed to become lead vocalists in three separate legendary groups. This foundation starting the trio on the road to fame and fortune and collectively, Leonard, Coleman & Blunt’s groups have sold over 100 million records with dozens of #1 hits everyone in the audience can dance and sing along to.
Three veterans of the music industry, from three of the premier vocal groups of our time, have come together to form the ultimate vocal group experience, “Leonard, Coleman & Blunt”. The trio has a wealth of experience as a result of the many years they’ve spent traveling the globe, with their respective organizations, bringing first-class entertainment to the world stage. Now, they have joined forces in one, powerful collaboration, to perform hits like, “Only You”, “Just My Imagination” and “Under the Boardwalk” and many of the songs, that we all know and love, that will take you back to a time when love was young and you could understand all of the words to the songs.
MetroStage, executive director Carolyn Griffin was delightfully in awe with the performance and asked the trio to return to MetroStage soon. Washington, DC’s very own Nick Johnson of WPFW-FM, 89.3 was the event announcer.

Back in 2009, I had the honor of interviewing best-selling author and West Virginia native Homer Hickam about the space program. He was near apoplectic at the idea that the U.S. was about to mothball the space shuttle and we would be depending on the Russians to get astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
“We can’t trust the Russians,” he said.
This was in October of 2009. Don’t say we weren’t warned.
Last week, a Russian Soyuz rocket attempted to take two men — a Russian cosmonaut and a U.S. astronaut — to the space station, but the flight had to be aborted and the capsule had to make a rather bumpy emergency landing in Kazakhstan.
According to the Russians, there was an “anomaly” with the booster rocket and the capsule was jettisoned and made a rough landing on terra firma. No injuries were reported, except Russia’s pride, I guess.
And a few weeks back, there was the discovery of a hole in the Russian capsule docked to the space station. Oxygen was leaking out, but it was quickly repaired.
But since then, the origin of the hole has been something of a mystery. Was it made by a piece of space junk flying at hundreds of miles per hour? Or was it deliberately put there by some Russian technician before the capsule left Earth?
Having read Scott Kelly’s book “Endurance,” I learned that the Russian space equipment is pretty basic. He wrote that it’s not as sophisticated as what NASA is used to but, he said, it gets the job done.
Since the space shuttle program is no more, the only U.S. vehicle to the space station will be a SpaceX capsule due to launch next June. Until then, we will have to continue counting on the Russians to get us there.
There are three crew members on the space station now and it remains unclear when they might see their two colleagues. They have enough supplies, so there is no real crisis. At least not until the Doritos run out.
The next launch for a Soyuz is December.
I remember when I interviewed Hickam, the famed Rocket Boy said it was “a national disgrace” that the U.S. had abandoned the space shuttle with no replacement in the works.
As it is, we are still awaiting a U.S.-made vehicle a decade later. And it’s being manufactured by a company whose top guy smokes pot on podcasts and insults people on Twitter.
Elon Musk launched one of his Tesla cars into space not long ago, but getting humans to the space station in one piece will be a bit more difficult.
Hickam proved to be quite prescient some 9 years ago about two things — it was probably not a good idea to trust the Russians to ferry us to the space station and it was a dumb, dumb, dumb idea to ground the space shuttle without a replacement waiting in the wings.
But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
