ABC’s music series “Greatest Hits” premieres June 30.
Hosted by Arsenio Hall and Kelsea Ballerini, the six-week series celebrates the music of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Each episode covers a five-year stretch, with the premiere covering 1980-1985.
Performers featured in the premiere include Pitbull, REO Speedwagon, Ray Parker, Jr., Jason Derulo, Kenny Loggins, Kim Carnes, Rick Springfield and Kool & The Gang.
Given the fact that his current single “Messin’ Around” interpolates from REO Speedwagon’s “Take It On The Run,” Pitbull will unsurprisingly perform a duet with the classic rock band. Derulo’s performance includes a tribute to the late Michael Jackson.
Song selections are as follows:
REO Speedwagon performs “Keep On Loving You” and a duet with Pitbull performing “Messin’ Around”
Ray Parker Jr. – “Ghostbusters”
Jason Derulo – “Human Nature”
Kenny Loggins – “Footloose”
Kim Carnes – “Bette Davis Eyes”
Rick Springfield – “Jessie’s Girl”
Kool & The Gang – “Celebration”
