'The Voice' winner Javier Colon to guest as Ray Charles on 'The Playboy Club'

Javier Colon‘s unique sound helped propel him to win the first season of The Voice, but now the singer will have to channel one of the most iconic voices of all-time: Ray Charles. NBC confirmed to EW that Colon will portray Ray Charles in an upcoming episode of The Playboy Club, in which he’ll sing “Let the Good Times Roll.”

But, Colon isn’t the only star stepping back in time — to the ’60s, to be precise — to portray a legend. Colbie Caillat will appear on the show as Lesley Gore, and will sing her classic “It’s My Party,” while Raphael Saadiq will portray Sam Cooke and croon “We’re Having a Party.” Perhaps taking a cue from American Dreams, The Playboy Club will continue to cast popular singers to play icons and perform on the show. (Billboard reports NBC is currently looking to cast singers to appear as James Brown, Roy Orbison, and possibly Frank Sinatra.)

The Playboy Club premieres on NBC on Monday, Sept. 19, at 10 p.m.
