The legendary Bill Cosby, who has given us “The Cosby Show,” “Fat Albert,” “I Spy,” and hundreds of hours of unforgettable stand-up comedy returns to Silver Legacy’s Grande Exposition Hall for two performances.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame inductees the O’Jays are timeless! It’s not unusual to have three generations at their concerts…the kids, the moms and dads, and the grandparents, that kind popularity among generations is rare in music today. The O’Jays have a body of work that includes over 60 albums, 24 Top Ten smashes and 59 total charted songs. They continue to perform incredibly energetic and dynamic live shows with their Olympian vocals. After 40+ years making such international hits 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,” The O’Jays are light years away from easing up on the gas.
