PALA – Pala Casino Spa Resort will present 1980’s funk bands, S.O.S Band, Lakeside and Midnight Star, Saturday, July 1, performing live outdoors at the Starlight Theater. The show will start at 8 p.m.

The S.O.S. Band is an American R&B and electro-funk group. Originally formed as Sounds of Santa Monica in 1977, they gained popularity in the 1980s with a series of successful albums and singles, including their debut album, S.O.S., which went gold. The group is best known for their songs “Take Your Time,” “Just Be Good to Me” and “The Finest.”

Lakeside is an American funk band, best known for their 1980 No. 1 R&B hit "Fantastic Voyage.” They followed the success of “Fantastic Voyage” with another Top 10 R&B single, a remake of the Paul McCartney and John Lennon classic “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The group continued their success with the Billboard Top 10 singles “Raid,” “Outrageous” and a string of R&B party songs and ballads.

Midnight Star was founded in 1976 at Kentucky State University by singer Belinda Lipscomb of Louisville and brothers Reginald and Vince Calloway. Their release of 1983’s “No Parking on the Dance Floor” became a surprise hit, earning them the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s R&B chart. Their album of the same name spawned classics including the title track, “Freak-A-Zoid” and “Slow Jam,” co-written by Indiana native Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. It was the only platinum album in 1983 to be released by an African American group, and it would go on to go double platinum, bringing huge success to the band with Kentucky roots.
