 You just can't miss "Serieux", the incredible, renowned MOTOWN REVUE performers, at the free summer concert tomorrow night (Thursday, Aug. 20) in Heritage Park.  This is the 10-member group who portrayed "The Temptations" in Hollywood's "The Marvin Gaye Story", and have opened for The Four Tops, Earth, Wind & Fire, and many other famous groups.  It will be an amazing night--a wonderful, Vegas-style show!  (fyi--we are so lucky to get this group; their agent, Tony, lives in Farmington Hills.)  If it rains, the concert will be on the stage at the Costick Center.  The music starts at 7:30 pm!
