I - ’ ; i > W Meet Triplet's Driver-of*the-Month. Bob Leary likes to talk to his passen gers. It puts everyone in a friendlier mood and the day goes bet ter. “W hen 1 don’t talk that's when everything gets quiet on my bus As long as I can talk a little, everything is fin e " D riving so his passengers and the cars around him have a better day is just one good reason Bob s our October Driver of the Month. KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND VS. THE OHIO PLAYERS - KC WON! Usually, when tw o dynonute band» are scheduled to appear on the same bill, everyone immediately starts wondering, who’s gotng to take the show. In the ease of K.C. and the Sunshine Band, along with The Ohio Players, haring "top" balling, in my estimation. K.C. and the Sunshine Band wafted away the crowd pleaser I was w hat yen might call an upset. The Ohio Players hare been perform ing much longer than K.C.. th ey're had more million dollar sellers than K .C . and th e y 're had much more international exposure than K.C. But Friday night caught K .C . and the HILDA Better service for more people. I Robinson, Buckley w ed 0 K.C. opened the show w ith “That's the W ay" followed by “Shake Your Boody" a n d a host of toe U p p in g tunes that kept the down stairs audience an thstr teee from to end. T heir sound was authenie w ithout any of the usual electronic ’ that plague performers at the Paramount Theatre. They moved through their performance w ith split second accuracy from sta rt to finish. Each selection was timed Q n x lo r tj. The Ohio Players opened the concert in a cloud o i smoke as an b dp stw n filled the air. I knew, j w t like the rest of the audience they definitely had th e ir w ork cut out for them, just to equal the performance of K .C Unfortunately, The Ohio Players just couldn't pull it off. I was totally disappointed in th eir performance. They lacked showmanship and variety in their n e t T heir biggest seller “F ire " they must hare sung for over a half hour. I think promoters should be mare perceptive when putting together a package like K . C. and the Sunshine Band and T he Ohio Players on the same b ill I t has a tendency to effect future concerts when one of the groups don't meet the expectations of the audience. L et s face i t they're both bee dlinwr* and to h are thorn both on the tam e show creates a very pressured situation. In thio ease. The Players just couldn't handle it - K .C and the Sunshine Band won!!! Jones joins 'Roots’ cast Tw o tim e Academy Aw ard nominee Quincy Jones has been signed to score the music to the ABC M ini series B asi s The monumental television project is based on the current best selling novel by A lex Haley where M r. Haley has traced and depicted bis family roots from Africa to present. Quincy Janes' film credits include over fifty motion pictures including his tw o Academy A w ard nominations for U s music to the films “In Cold Blood.“ and “In The Heat Of The N ig h t.“ Jones in volvement with Roots marks the first tim e in five years that Jones has been involved in film scoring, due to his self imposed hiatus from th at phase of the industry. “A fte r scoring my last film (The Getaway) I made the decision to take a temporary leave of absence from the film industry to concentrate my interests on different phases of the music businsos A lex Haley and I have been friends for a number of y e a n and when he asked me to score the music to Boots I had to get evolved. I have spent the post tea y e a n of my hie attem pting to trace the M e i ar y of Black music from A fric a to present, in researched Us fam ily lineage far Boots. w ere sc strong th a t I felt to the project," Quincy The fo u rta ; in January 1977 w ith scheduled to i the production i . by David W aiper Productions. T feel that Roots w ill be the moot im portant piece of television footage ever experienced in America; the book ia already proving to be the literary giant of the 70'». In my estimation, the T .V . series w ill follow suit." Jones said.
