Soul Birthdays — 60 and 70 — in the Bahamas

Everyone who's anyone in the music business is heading to the Bahamas this weekend.

That's where Sol Kerzner's Atlantis Hotel and Casino is putting on a musical spectacular on Friday and Saturday nights.

The reason for the celebration? Today is the 70th birthday of Sam Moore, the stunning soul legend who gave us such immortal hits as "Soul Man" and "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby."

This weekend will also mark a 70th birthday party for Atlantis owner Kerzner and a belated 60th for R&B sensation Patti LaBelle.

On Friday, Kerzner hosts LaBelle's 60th birthday with a concert being taped for broadcast on UPN.

No less than Prince is expected, along with Usher, Nelly, Kelly Rowland, Ashanti, Michael McDonald, Ashford & Simpson, Bebe Winans and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds.

Actress/rapper Eve is hosting the show, and Patti is expected to reunite with Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash of her old group LaBelle to perform "Lady Marmalade" on the special.

The next night, the Atlantis opens its Marina Village with a star-studded jam session celebrating the joint 70th birthdays of Kerzner and soul legend Sam "Soul Man" Moore. (Today is Moore's actual birthday, and he's never been more on top of his game.)

Billy Preston, Chaka Khan, Lionel Richie, The O'Jays and Sheila E. are on for that, as well as players from the previous night.

Prince, who included "Soul Man" in his "Musicology" shows last year, may wind up jamming with Moore, the original singer of that classic hit.

Regrets came from Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Don Henley, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper and Sting — all of whom are touring or recording. Otherwise, they'd be there for Moore.

The whole deal is organized by Kerzner's very own Jerry Inzerillo, the music man who's turned Atlantis into a Woodstock of the Caribbean — that is, an elegant, upscale Woodstock. The only mud-bathing at this exclusive resort is in the spa!

Is this gonna be a "featured" topic?

hhhmmmmm interesting, since Prince is now a Jehovah Witnesses & they DO NOT CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS, I'm wondering how this is really going down. Just hope Larry doesn't find out where P is going & why. lol

Lazy white folks!

I sure hope Prince shows up.

Age slows you down.

Some people seem to agree with your comment but perhaps these white people just had better things to do. Did you ever think of that? I guess not as it seems only a racial slur was what came to your mind.

kisscamille said:

yeah that was kinda ignorant to say.

kisscamille said:

Oh, it was just funny. Relax. The emoticon is never used seriously - it was a joke. And there was no racial slur used. Can we please please not turn this into a sensitive-white-folks-whining-about-"reverse-discrimination"-thread?

FunkMistress said:

Oh, but as usual it's ok to turn it into whatever black folks want to say. Get real.

FunkMistress said:

candy-coat if you must, it doesn't disguise the fact that it was an ignorant comment.

Only a white would write things like that!

edit how I wish Bruce & Prince would have jam together for this event ( some years ago he (BS)has sung sexmachine on stage with James Brown)
