KIIS'N and partying at Wango Tango 98
An all-star artist lineup helped make KIIS/Los Angeles’ first Wango Tango benefit concert at Edison Field of Anaheim a smashing success. Morning man Rick Dees joined Columbia artist Will Smith to co-host the event. Proceeds from the day-long concert went to “Race For The Cure” to help find a cure for breast cancer. The acts included Amber, ‘N Sync, All Saints, Tom Jones, Mariah Carey Gloria Estefan, Meredith Brooks, Olivia Newton-John, and Wyclef Jean.
