About this Event




A Legendary Sound. A Spiritual Vibration.

Are you looking for an afternoon that moves your feet and lifts your spirit? Next Sunday, January 25th, join us at Unity Spiritual Center for an exclusive concert featuring the "Man from Motown with a Message"—Eddie Watkins Jr.


From Motown’s "A-List" to Spiritual Rockstar

If you’ve ever turned on a radio and felt the groove of a classic R&B hit, you’ve likely heard Eddie Watkins Jr. Born and raised in the heart of Detroit, Eddie was a prodigy who became a premier session bass player for Motown Records by the age of 17.

His "rock-solid" bass licks have fueled some of the greatest hits in music history. He has recorded and toured with icons including:


  • Marvin Gaye
  • The Temptations
  • Diana Ross
  • Quincy Jones
  • The Pointer Sisters (Yes, that’s him on the bass for "Automatic"!)
  • Gloria Gaynor (The legendary groove of "I Will Survive")

The Music That Heals

After decades at the pinnacle of the music industry, Eddie experienced a profound spiritual awakening that transformed his life and his art. Today, he has traded the "fast life" of Hollywood for a mission to raise the vibration of the planet.


Eddie’s concerts are more than just performances—they are "Music & Message" experiences. Blending the high-energy, soulful grit of Motown with deep spiritual truths, Eddie’s original songs like "The Power of Love" and "The Great I Am" consistently sell out spiritual centers across the country.



Why You Can't Miss This:
  • High-Consciousness Soul: Experience music that speaks to the "I AM" within you while keeping the Motown groove alive.
  • A Proven Performer: Known for selling out venues from Seattle to Asheville, Eddie brings a professional, world-class energy that is rare to see in an intimate setting.
  • The Perfect Sunday Activity: This afternoon concert is the ultimate "feel-good" event to recharge your soul for the week ahead.

Space is limited and we are expecting a full house! Don’t miss your chance to see a living legend in our own sanctuary.
