60'S CLASS REUNION STARRING BRENDA LEE, DION AND GENE PITNEY

COMES TO TRUMP TAJ MAHAL JULY 14 AND 15


Atlantic City, NJ --- Three of the most successful recording artists of all
time, Dion, Brenda Lee and Gene Pitney, star in the memory-filled "60's
Class Reunion," Friday and Saturday, July 14 and 15.

One of the most enduring names in pop music, Dion is perhaps the consummate
performer, combining songwriting excellence with a distinctive voice. A
native of Bronx, Dion first burst onto the pop music scene as a member of
the Belmonts, releasing a string of classics such as "I Wonder Why,"
"A Teenager In Love" and "Where Or When." As a solo artist, Dion continued
his hit-making with such 60's anthems as "Runaround Sue," "The Wanderer" and
"Lovers Who Wander."

In the late sixties, Dion successfully captured the spirit of the times with 
the release of "Abraham, Martin and John," a moving tribute to three of
history's greatest men, While he boasts a loyal following of original fans,
Dion nonetheless continues to attract legions of new fans from coast to
coast. In total, Dion had twenty-one Top 40 hits in the ten year span
beginning in 1958.

Boasting a career that never slowed down, Brenda Lee is as much an influence
today as she was in the mid-1950s, when she helped bring rock and rock into 
the cultural mainstream. With world-wide record sales scaling the 100 
million mark, Lee began her career in 1956 at age 11.

Devoted to her craft, Lee is cited as being a major influence on artists as diverse 
as Cyndi Lauper and Barbara Mandrell. In fact, Lee in the 1980's has 
appeared frequently on television and shared the stage with such stars as the
Statler Brothers, The Mandrell Sisters, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. Some
of Lee's timeless classics include, "I'm Sorry," "Sweet Nothin's, "As Usual,"
and ther six million selling holiday single, "Rockin' Around The Christmas
Tree."

One of the early sixties top recording artists, Gene Pitney is one of rock
and rolls most successful singer/songwriters. As a recording artist, Pitney
scored big on the charts with such hits as "The Man Who Shot Liberty 
Valance," "Only Love Can Break A Heart," "It Hurts To Be In Love" and "Town
Without Pity." Pitney's sharp ear for good material encouraged him to record
songs by Burt bacharach, Carole King and Randy Newman, when each were
struggling unknowns in the business.

As a songwriter, Pitney wrote the 1961 Ricky Nelson smash, "Hello, Mary Lou,"
as well as Bobby Vee's classic, "Red Rubber Ball." During his stellar career,
Pitney logged 16 Top 40 singles and released 47 albums in the United States.

Appearing next at Trump Taj Mahal is Richard Nader's Original Disco Dance
Party starring KC and the Sunshine Band, Thelma Houston with special guest
Tavares plus TV's Celebrity Host Deney Terrio and Motion, July 22.

SEVENTIES MUSIC RETURNS ON JULY 22

WITH KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND,

THELMA HOUSTON, SPECIAL GUEST TAVARES PLUS

TV'S CELEBRITY HOST DENEY TERRIO AND MOTION


Atlantic City, NJ --- An all-star lineup of seventies stars including KC and
the Sunshine Band and Thelma Houston will create the hottest dance party to
eve hit Atlantic City on Saturday, July 22. Also appearing is special guest
Tavares plus TV's celebrity host Deney Terrio and Motion.

On the heels of a 70's revival, KC and the Sunshine Band is one of the names
most often associated with the seventies. KC, otherwise known as Harry Wayne
Casey, claimed four number one hits in the span of a single year. He shares
that accomplishment with The Beatles. One of the first white artists to
achieve success on the R & B charts, KC won four Grammys and an American
Music Award.

A one-man hit factory for South Florida's T.K. Records, KC sold 75 million
records in total. With hits like "That's the Way (I Like It)," "Get Down
Tonight," "Rock Your Baby," and "Keep It Comin" Love" KC has captured a big
audience in the nineties.

Rhino Records recently reissued "KC and the Sunshines Band's Greatest Hits"
alongside ZYX release of his latest album "Oh Yeah." KC also tours, had a
starring role in the NBC special "A 70's Celebration: The Beat is back," and 
in March appeared on Entertainment Tonight.

Grammy winner Thelma Houston brings a soulful style to the dance genre. Her
top selling "Don't Leave Me This Way" went gold in the U.S. and earned her a
Grammy award for best R & B vocal performance.

"I've been singing since the age of three," she said. Eventually, Houston
joined a group formed from her church choir and made a recording on Capital,
"Tell It Like It Is."

Her debut album, "Sunshower," followed. In the 70's, Houstons signed with
Motown. Her breakthrough hit, "Don't Leave Me This Way" launched her career.
Branching out into other areas, Houston also acts, writes and arranges.

Five brothers make up the singing group Tavares. Beginning in 1974 with their
first album, "Check It Out," and continuing with " On Hard Core Poetry" and
"In The City," Tavares created a string of hit ballads. Early chart toppers
are "Remember What I Told You to Forget," "It Only takes A Minute," and
"She's Gone." In 1976, the group's fourth album, "Sky High," yielded their
gold single "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel."

In '78, Tavares released Future Bound with the smash hit "More Than A Woman"
and also were nominated for a Grammy for their 13th album, "Penny For Your
Thoughts."

The man who taught John Tavolta how to dance, Deney Terrio, will bring disco 
dancing back like it's never been done before! Star and host of the 
syndicated "Dance Fever," Terrio will perform with the female dance duo 
Motion.

Show time is 8:00 PM. Tickets, priced at $20, are available at the Trump Taj 
Mahal Box Office, all TicketMaster outlets or by calling TicketMaster at 1-
800-736-1420. Appearing next at the Trump Taj Mahal is An Evening with Phil 
Coulter on Friday, August 4.

AGE OF DISCO COMES ALIVE AT TRUMP TAJ MAHAL

WITH VILLAGE PEOPLE, THE TRAMMPS AND

EVELYN "CHAMPAGNE" KING AUGUST 22


Atlantic City, NJ --- Relive the age of Disco on Saturday, August 22, when
Trump Taj Mahal presents Village People, The Trammps and Evelyn "Champagne"
King on Saturday, August 19 in the Mark G. Etess Arena.

One of the hottest, and most original groups to burst onto the music scene
in the 1970's, Village People captured worldwide audiences duing the late
70's with such smash dance singles as "Macho Man," "YMCA," "In The Navy" and
"Go West." After racking up multiple platinum and gold records, the six-
man visual extravaganza continued to tour successfully throughout the 
eighties, and with a 70's resurgence presently occuring across the country,
are "Cruisin'" strong in the nineties.

While their musical and vocal styles boast their own definitive style, it is
the sheer visual appeal of Village People which allowed them to capture a
generation of fans. Decked out as a military rep, construction worker,
cowboy, native American and cop, the sextet is once again luring a new
following of fans, many of which were still in diapers when the group was at
it's peak. Recently, Village People have been quite busy, appearing on the
Tonight Show with Jay Leno, releasing albums worldwide, and returning once
again to the forefront of the entertainment arena.

One of the staples of the seventies with her smash disco hit, "Shame,"
Evelyn "Champagne" King has continued to have success throughout the past two
decades. After the 1977 release of the crossover "Shame," King rolled into
the eighties with such hits as "I Don't Know If It's Right," "Love Come Down"
and "Hold On." King's latest effort, "The Girl Next Door," is her 11th album
and covers a wide range of material, offering a touch of something for 
everyone.

A unique blend of pulsating beats, catchy melodies and vocal harmonies, The
Trammps were formed in 1972 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although the 
group achieved considerable success early in their careers, recording
several hits with Buddah Records, it wasn't until their debut album on
Atlantic Records, "Where The Happy People Go," that the Trammps sparkled in
the national spotlight. The album, which included hit singles, "Disco Party,"
"Hooked For Life," and "Soul Searchin' Time," was showered with honors, 
winning Best Disco Album, Best Disco Artists and Best Disco Single. Not
content to rest on their laurels, the Trammps follow-up release, "Disco
Inferno," catapulted the group to the top of the charts, earning them their
first gold record and earned the title track distinction of "the disco party
anthem of the 70's." "Disco Inferno" was included on the soundtrack of
Paramount Picture's "Saturday Night Fever," giving the Trammps their first
Grammy Award for Best Album.

Appearing next at Trump Taj Mahal is Buddy Hackett, September 22, 23 and 24.
