Hardy’s raspy voice and high energy singing set the tone he wanted to produce to set the mood, and the crowd went wild.

Rhythm and Soul Hardy continues to cover classic Rock and Roll, Rhythm and soul hits with his rendition of “Bring it on Home to Me." This song was initially a hit for Sam Cooke, the King of Soul.
