This evening's offerings at the Bermuda Music Festival include non other than living legends, the O'Jays.

The Festival kicks off at the Fairmont Southampton Beach Club this evening at 6.30 p.m., although the doors will open at 6 p.m.

Before the O'Jays take the stage, local artists including MC Alan (Youngals) Young and DJ Andre (Kasper) Rochester will ply their magic. Local funny man Bootsie, is the main MC for the evening and, after the performances, the Warwick Gombey Troupe Next Level will bring the evening to an end.

The legendary O'Jays are planning to entertain the crowds with a host of hits such as, 'Back Stabbers', 'For The Love Of Money', 'Darlin' Darlin' Baby', 'Love Train', 'I Love Music', 'Use Ta Be My Girl' and 'Have You Had Your Love Today', to name just a few.

The O'Jays, who have a body of work that includes over 60 albums, 24 Top Ten smash hits and 59 total charted songs, are looking forward to returning to the Island after a two-year absence.

The group, which includes Eddie Levert, Sr., Walter Williams, Sr., and Eric Nolan Grant has been around for over 43 years and they are not looking likely to stop anytime soon.

Through the years, they were blessed to have had the late great choreographer Cholly Adkins around.

Adkins taught them the importance of showmanship and how to execute their steps while still delivering their songs.

The stage, whether in America or on international soil, is where the O'Jays let it all out, they blow away the competition with their soulful singing and bring in "standing room" only audiences.

The group is still on the road for several months a year, and continue to enjoy the accolades and rave reviews of fans and the media alike.

The O'Jays are loved by all generations, which is why their 'For The Love' album, which was released in 2001, was a chart-topper. The following year, it was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Walter Williams, Sr. said: "We have three generations at our concerts — the kids, the moms and dads, and the grandmas and granddads."

This popularity among generations is rare in music today.

This event is sold out.
