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!

This proves 2 me that he is no longer a JW!! JWs dont have anything 2 do with birthdays whatsoever, whether its their own or other peoples!!

That's cool, Sam Moore deserves many kudos, they've been too long coming.

I'm just glad to know Prince's 'hip' must be ok, because some folks were trying to give the impression he damn near needs a wheelchair.

I LOVE to see this!!! what station? what channel? Please more details

Seems like the rumour mill is in overdrive this week. The PPs are denying this one too. From NPGMC...

it will be on the UPN channel. you can go to the website and read more about it. But on the upn website I don't think it said anything about prince being in it.....so we may be out of luck. we will just have to wait and see.

Come on ya'll open your eyes. This is Fox news circulating this story. Their part of the Pro-Bush Spinderalla team. You can't take anything they say seriously. Oh by the way the Terror levels been raised to a dark brown which is to say it's now reached the color of B-Shite...

Is there a Thread that he is no longer a JW???

So, I guess he didn't show up? I see that Sheila E. did (and is claiming she's going to record with him...).

KeithyT said:

Which thread? I couldn't find it...

I can't wait for pics. As far as Prince being a JW, I don't know. I'm not sayng that he isn't. I'm just wondering if he thought about what that would mean when it came to birthday and holidays. Maybe that's not what's really important to him. It's possible that he doesn't view those things as important as much as his sprituality and his relationship with God.
