Soul legends The O’Jays bring farewell tour to Tampa on Friday

While we’re not sure if the original O’Jays—and newish kid Eric Grant—regret giving permission for “For The Love Of Money” to serve as the theme song to “The Apprentice,” the classic soul group is ready to call it a day.

Joined by ‘70s R&B star Gerald Alston and Lionel Richie collaborator Shirley Murdock, the boys from Ohio only have a few dates left on this farewell tour, which wraps up in Memphis next month.

The O’Jays play Tampa’s Straz Center on Friday, Aug. 26, and tickets are still available.

Who knows? Maybe you’ll see Donald Trump in the front row.
