Goldberg Toasts Birthday on Air With Kool And the Gang

Whoopi Goldberg had a ball celebrating her 54th birthday on Friday (13Nov09) - she was treated to a special performance by Kool and The Gang.

The Oscar winner toasted the milestone on her U.S. TV talk show The View by inviting one of her favourite authors, Stephen King, to drop by for a chat.

But it was the musical dedication from the beloved R&B band which had the actress dancing and singing along, beaming from ear to ear.

A celebration to Whoopi Goldberg and all The View We gonna celebrate and party with you

Kool and The Gang performed their 1980 disco classic Celebration, with lead vocalist James 'J.T.' Taylor changing the lyrics to honour Goldberg, singing "A celebration to Whoopi Goldberg and all The View We gonna celebrate and party with you".

The show's guests then joined the studio audience to sing Happy Birthday to Goldberg, before she was presented with a custom-made three-tiered cake by TV chef Duff Goldman.
