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.
