Legends are born not made. And as a vocalist, Dionne Warwick is in a class by herself. Miami will get to see the Legend in the “My Friends & Me” concert slated for March 25, 2007 at 8 pm at the BankUnited Center (formerly UM Convocation Center) Coral Gables, Miami.

Presented by Class Act Production along with Shamah Seven Enterprise Inc., Dionne Warwick & Friends will bring us hits such as "Alfie", "A House Is Not a Home", "Valley of the Dolls" and "The April Fools" from Warwick’s vast repertoire.

Miami's own Laura Bradley will grace the stage with songs from her latest album "Storm", and Jamaica's genius guitarist, Eugene Grey will put his genius to work.

Dionne Warwick, who has the distinction of being the first African-American female artist to give a Royal Command Performance for the Queen of England, has earned many Grammy Awards for her songs "Do You Know the Way to San Jose", in 1968, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" in 1970, "I'll Never Love This Way Again" in 1979, "De Ja Vu" also in 1979 and "That's What Friends Are For" in 1986, received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame and was honored by Oprah Winfrey at the 2005 Legends Ball. In 2006, Warwick joined Bacharach to perform "Walk on By" and "That's what Friends Are For" for some 36 million American Idol viewers.

Warwick's tireless efforts to preserve music education in school curricula were recognized with the first Support Music Appreciation ward, which she received in Washington, DC. Her myriad other good works have included serving as U.S. Ambassador for Health and as a Global Ambassador for the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization. She was also recently honored with the Temecula Film and Music Festival's coveted Lifetime Achievement Award for her work in music for motion pictures.

Laura Bradley's latest album, “Storm” is a progressive journey into orchestrated pop and textured classic rock sounds, with her sultry, bluesy voice, lavish in production, arranged and executed with excellence. Born in Toronto, Canada, Laura Bradley resides comfortably in both Miami and Los Angeles when not on tour.

Eugene Grey is one of Jamaica's premier guitarist, arranger/composer.

His virtuosity in Jazz, Reggae, and Classical music led to him touring worldwide as lead guitarist with many stellar musicians as well as performing in the movie 'Lambada: The Forbidden Dance'. In March of 2000 he was commissioned to arrange 42 of the original songs of his longtime employer, Irving Burgie to market as a Broadway Musical review which was made famous by Harry Belafonte 50 years ago.

Eugene's fifth album, Authentic, a compilation of instrumental with vocal embellishments is compiled with a host of musical genres in mind.
