TIFTON — Supporters of Abraham Baldwin College got plenty for their money Friday night at the annual Dollars for ABAC Scholars concert at the school’s Donaldson Dining Hall — delicious food, a rousing performance from a Tifton native and one of the most melodic voices in country music.

John Berry headlined the show and sampled his vast repertoire of hits along with some new cuts from his latest album, “I Give My Heart.” Berry, who grew up in Atlanta, opened the show with his first number one hit, “Your Love Amazes Me” from 1994. He also performed other big hits such as “She’s Taken a Shine” and “Kiss Me in the Car.” During the performance, Berry showed his vocal influences with a near-operatic range.

His latest album features remakes of many of his biggest hits along with remakes of other songs that influenced him from the 1970s and 1980s. They included “Time in a Bottle” by JimCroce, “If,” which was originally recorded by the 1970s group “Bread,” and the Rev. Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.” Berry also earned a big ovation with the song “Salvation,” a song from his 1999 album “Wildest Dreams” that Berry backed as a single but was told was too “Christian” for mainstream radio.

Berry closed the show with a cover of Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman,” earning a standing ovation.

Opening for Berry was Tifton native Jennifer Moorman, performing on the same stage she did several years ago while a student at ABAC. Moorman also featured songs from her new CD “Whisper,” including the title song which she co-wrote with her mother. In fact, several of the songs she performed Friday night were co-written with her mother and other band members, including fellow Tifton native Brian Roberts, who plays keyboards in Moorman’s band.

Moorman alternated between ballads and dance songs and threw in a dash of old rock and roll with selections such as “Ain’t No Sunshine,” by Bill Withers, “Rockin’ Pneumonia” and “Johnny B. Goode.”

But Moorman’s best songs were her originals, many of which reflected her feelings of love and growing up in a small town, including “There’s No Place Like Home.” Moorman lives in Nashville and has opened for country superstars such as Wynonna, Emerson Drive and Restless Heart.

Proceeds from the annual concert are used to fund scholarships at ABAC, which reached an enrollment high of over 3,400 students last fall.
