Among
stiff competition, long-time Memphis radio DJ Stan “The Bell Ringer” Bell won
this year’s LipSync Plus-1 contest at the Hard Rock Cafe on
Beale.
About
100 supporters attended the fundraiser on April 20 as seven contestants battled
for the title and grand prize of two round-trip domestic tickets on Allegiant
Airlines.
For
his final number, Bell wore a Derek Jeter No. 2 Yankees shirt and gold chains
and performed the old school hip-hop tune, “Rappers Delight” by the Sugarhill
Gang. Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell traded in his suit for jeans, white
cowboy hat and a Sun Studios T-shirt and rocked out on his six-string razor to
the classic hit, “Memphis Tennessee” by Johnny Rivers.
MLGW
and MIFA also organized a silent auction to bring in much needed funds for the
Plus-1 program which provides one-time utility assistance for families in
crisis. A large part of this year’s success is due to the generous support of
our sponsors: Top Notch Security, WMC Action News 5, Regional One Health, TVA,
Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau and Memphis Comedy Festival.
