Event Description: As half of the youthful songwriting team Bell & James, LeRoy Bell co-authored Elton John's Grammy-nominated 1979 Top Ten hit, "Mama Can't Buy You Love," and Elton’s 2004 #1 British single “Are You Ready For Love”. He has collaborated with legendary songwriter/producer Thom Bell (his uncle) and Casey James to pen songs for The Spinners, The O’Jays, Rita Marley, The Temptations, Johnny Mathis, Phyllis Hyman and many more. His music has its roots in soul and R&B style, and LeRoy has recently performed with B.B. King, Al Green, Taj Mahal, Keb Mo, Etta James and others. His CD Two Sides to Every Story was hailed as “a song-writing masterpiece”, and brings to light social issues, concerns and compassion for all, with the hopes of youth, love and optimism. Tickets are $15.00 for all ages and are available at the Oceanside Civic Center and Mission Branch Library check-out desks. Seating is limited for this performance, so advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and it is open seating.
