The crowd gettin into it.

DeVaughn gettin his swagger and style goin as he performed songs off his sophomore CD, "Love Behind the Melody " including his first hit, "Woman."

The ladies had their digi-snaps goin all up in his grill.

Comedians Jovan Bibbs and Willie Lynch Jr were in the house.

DeVaughn had to take off hid suit coat to get into the midst of his set.

NOTE: This was a cool event. Raheem DeVuaghn was very personable with the VIP crowd (he had a big tall bodyguard with him who we think also dubbed as his PR guy) and when he got on stage he was the mos def the showman. The ladies really enjoyed his set and spent the most part taking his pic and reciting all the words to the songs he sang.

Also in the house were: actor/producer Craig Thomas, comic Jessie Taylor, SYGU's Rhashad Whittier, graphic designer Marcus Brainstorm, and socialites Lester Robinson and Renaud Chavoz Lucas (or should we say "Deacon" Lucas. LOL),
