Pepperdine University's Raitt Hall was filled to capacity Jan. 24 for the annual Malibu Middle and High School Singing Competition, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Malibu.

. . .

The event's judges were: Tris Imboden, of Malibu (drummer for Chicago, Neil Diamond, Kenny Loggins and Al Jarreau); Malibuite Ryan Dorn (of Unison Music, who has produced and recorded for Whitney Houston, Stevie Rae Vaughan and Cher); John Cowsill (The Beach Boys Touring Band; The Cowsills; Tommy Tutone); Craig Shoemaker (standup comedian, actor, producer and winner of two NATAS Emmy awards for Prism); and Malibu icon Lenny Goldsmith (of bands The New Old and Tower of Power), whom Silverberg characterized as "the Malibu voice of gold."

. . .

To wrap the show, audience members and entrants alike were delighted as Goldsmith, Cowsill and Shoemaker spontaneously performed John Lennon’s iconic song, "Imagine."
