Story Highlights

Singer Gloria Estefan and her husband are buying a small share of the Dolphins

The deal will be officially announced on Thursday by team owner Stephen Ross

By The Associated Press

The Dolphins are merging with Miami Sound Machine and Margaritaville.

Singer Gloria Estefan and her husband, producer Emilio Estefan, are buying a "very small" ownership stake in the NFL team, a person familiar with the deal said Monday. The person requested anonymity person because the deal won't be announced until Thursday by owner Stephen Ross.

Seven-time Grammy winner Gloria Estefan has had hits with Miami Sound Machine and as a solo artist. Ross began a partnership in May with Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville enterprise, which includes Land Shark Lager.

Buffett has yet to accept Ross' invitation to become a minority owner, but the Dolphins' stadium has been renamed Land Shark Stadium :rolleyes: for this season. Buffett wrote a song for the team and will be featured at tailgate parties, Ross has said.

It's unclear whether the Estefans will have a role in Dolphins entertainment. Miami Sound Machine brought a fusion of Latin and pop to the American masses with hits such as "Conga" and "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You," and Emilio Estefan has also produced for such artists as Shakira and Ricky Martin.

The Estefans be among the few Hispanics to hold an ownership stake in an NFL team. Gloria Estefan came to the United States at age 2 when her family fled Cuba shortly after Fidel Castro's revolution, and she has sold more than 90 million records.

Ross, a New York real estate billionaire, completed his purchase of the Dolphins in January from Wayne Huizenga.

The Dolphins confirmed only that the Estefans and Ross will make a "major announcement" Thursday on behalf of the Dolphins.

what a ****in disgrace.

the best news to come out since this sale has been Jimmy Buffet's involvement. I was reading in RS how he's updated his great song Fins to be the new Dolphins song-he said the old fight song was horrible-and he's right...that stupid song was almost unbearably bad to have to sit thru after each score down there

Their song is horrible, even their fans are ashamed of it. First time I went to the stadium I could not believe what I was hearing. LMAO

are you guys talking about that song that sounds like the Mickey Mouse theme song??? if so it is horrible.. esecially when you have had a life time of hearing it..

but you know what song is worse.. if you have ever been to Camden Yard or a Orioles spring training game the song Oriole Baseball has to be the worst song in the history of sports songs..

cowboys of the southeast. all hype no winning ways. Watch how quick the owners of the Fish undermine Parcells, Ireland, and Sparano

Soooo, I guess you have some strong friendship with Stephen Ross, and that he's told you this personally. Otherwise, it would be some grandiose exzageration that has not a single ounce of credibility.
