SISKEL s EBERT ur- Own -jç—== SingYon,-^^ M essiah Sam Sapp is one of the youngest and most powerful professionals in the music business today. Through out his illustrious career, Sam has worked with a variety of artists in cluding Tony! Toni! Tone!, Sinbad, Vanessa W illiams, Brian Mckinght and most recently Will Smith just to name a few. This enterprising young man has accomplished more in his career than some record execs have in their entire lives. Having grown up around some of the most respected names in music and having Robert “Kool” Bell (of Kool & the Gang) for an uncle, Sam Sapp was destined to excel in the music industry. At an early age, Sam ¡earned that the music business is indeed a business; he saw first-hand the way band members were repri manded for unprofessional conduct, he saw how richly they were rewarded for their triumphs, he saw the long and arduous hours o f rehearsals, and the daily commitment performers had to make their craft. G row ing up around such musical legends as Patti Labelle. Earth, W ind & Fire, Rick James and Frankie Beverly offered Sam priceless insights that shaped him into the brilliant mogul that he is today. in C onjunction with the P ortland Y outh P hilharmonic Saturday, December 20 at 7:30 pm Murry Sidlin, conductor H uw Edwards, conductor “ABSOLUTELY UNFORGETTABLE.
