Hunter paid tribute to the great Doo Wop group of the fifties, The Five Royals by performing two of their songs, “Baby Don’t Do It,” and “Think.”

Another highlight came in the form of another Hunter original “Watch & Chain,” a song that featured a great call and response between the singer’s vocals and the two saxophonists. Badau also soloed on baritone sax.

As the band left the stage the crowd stood and applauded for five minutes, while chanting Hunter’s name and requesting an encore. Nobody left the building and after a few minutes, the band appeared on stage, moving into an improvised jam session. A few minutes later Hunter appeared and performed “Talking ‘Bout My Love,” for a second time.
