JERRY SUN SHOW • • •
The Ramada Inn, like so many other night clubs that offer live entertainment six
nights a week, doesn’t always have GREAT entertainment, but it’s always good.
The "Jerry Sun Show” closed out of the "Center 4" Lounge at the Ramada Saturday
night. The five member group, consisting of two female vocalists, Debra Lee and
Rhonda Oliver from London. England, were definately an asset to the performance.
One sang better than the other and one danced better than the other, so consequently
they complimented each other. One unique thing about the ladies performance that I
hadn't seen before is that they changed their outfits during their individual song and
dance routines.
„Mike January on drums and Ron Giles on piano were spotlighted only briefly during
Jhe show. They are both good musicians and play a variety of instruments, but should
**' given more time to show their abilities. The star of the show, Jerry Sun from the
Philippines, “hogs” the spotlight a little too much, for me. Although he plays a variety
3>f instruments pretty well there is much to be said for his singing ability.
3 They did such selections as: “LeRoy Brown,’” “You Are The Sunshine of my Life,"
■“‘Big Wheel Keep on Rolling," "Love Keeps Us Together", and many more. They also
:look the time to show some slides of a recent engagement at the Princess Hotel in
iAlcapulco, Mexico. Jerry Sun did the narratio^and the remainder of the group sang
rfGirl from Impanema." A nice deviation from the norm and generally a nice
performance from The Jerry Sun Show.

Movies aid Black school
The parent group of the Black Educa
tional Center will present a film festival
on Sunday the 28th of March.
The
festival will be the first major effort of
the parents to raise funds for the center
this year. The B.E.C., now in its fifth
year of operation in the Albina com
munity. has proven to be a successful
alternative approach to the education of
the children of that area. The center
provides a curriculum which emphasizes
the development of high competences in
self-discipline, basic skills, and a positive
image of self-family-community and race.
The center serves children from the ages
of five through eight.
The childrens’ parents provide support
to the B.E.C. staff by assisting in the
classrooms and conducting fund raising
activities. Films to be viewed at the
March 28th festival include:
“From These Roots." a film that ex
plores the cultural, political and social
forces that produced the explosion of
talent and creativity in Harlem during
Vsft
the 20’s. The film features such greats as
Duke Ellington, Langston Hughes and
Josephine Baker.
"Blues L ik e Show ers of Rain," with the
voices and blues of blind Arvella Gray,
Willie Thomas and Lighten’ Hopkins, this
film is a skillful integration of sound and
image, resulting in a unique portrait of
the men and women whose life created
the blues.
