H i — How ard Burton's M otow n magic charmed its way into the audience at Darcelle X V this weekend. The revue is comprised of 15 cast members and those who are familiar with the talents of Love Congregation will again hear their harmony. Burton's Motown Magic reviewed the first m ajor Black record company of the 20th century. It was Motown who put the beat in the streets from The Supremes, to the Four Tops and Michael Jackson. H arry "S p a n k y " Hopkins stole the show w ith his im ita tio n of Michael Jackson. Spanky traced Jackson's musical roots from I ' l l be There. A B C to Slop, the Love you Save. The problem spectators had with Spanky's performance was not what Spanky did on stage, but how some members o f the audience starting passing money up to him. That took away some o f the innocence of his performance. During the course o f the show, Burton constantly reminded the audience why they were there: to celebrate the music of Berry Gordy. * "The history of Motown Records and the man who still owns AiM con trols it is one o f the most incredible success stories of recent times. Gor- J Tha cast of Burton's Motown Magic (Photo:Rlchard J. Brown) Motown Magic kicked o ff with a collection o f medleys from the Supremes, The Tem ptations and Stevie Wonder. They freely moved from one tune to another with the audience trying hard not to join it. It is noticeable that Burton needs to step up his choreography. But, sincerely is on his side and as time passes, I'm sure Motown Magic will grow into a well-oiled show able to keep the music of Motown alive and dy had to fight against the powerful, established financial interests o f large all-w hite record companies. G ordy invented a sound that ap pealed to whites as well as Blacks." Burton used the term genius when he referred to Gordy. "M ost of all, Motown Magic is about the music. The sounds and the words of talent ed musicians, songwriters and per formers who dominated the charts during most o f the 60’s and 70’s ," he added. SPRING SAVINGS Penny Tracy. Pacific Division vvlnnar, baat out Wendy Laubars of Phoanix with a 111-102 win. B-ball upsets rule Upsets were the rule as two fo r mer National Champions and two Division Champions fell to relative unknowns at last week's Pepsi/ NBA Pacific Division C ham pion ships. A sellout crowd in Portland's M em orial Coliseum saw Brock W o rtm an, who represented the Seattle Supersonics, pulled o ff the biggest upset o f the weekend by defeating last year's Western Con ference Champion, John Campbell of Sacramento, Ca., 126 to 112. To reach the Boys 13-15 finals, W ort- man had already eliminated former Boys 9-12 National Champion Dan Biagi o f Norco, C a ., by a score of 137-116. Other upsets included Glenn Urata's (Los Angeles) 141-127 win over form er N atio n al Cham pion Mike Handy of Oakland in the Boys 16-18 category ahd Chris Soots’ (P hoenix) 114-82 win over last year's Pacific Division Champion M ichelle Soca in the elim ination rounds o f the G irls 16-18 group. Soots went on to a 114-97 win over Rosie Ubungen o f San Diego in the final round. In the Girls 9-12 group, Michelle Palmisano continued Los Angeles’ domination of that category with a 89-72 win over Jenell Baxter o f Golden State. At only 10 years old, M ichelle is the youngest Pacific Division Champion ever. Michelle also succeeds another L A product, Krista Granger, as Division Cham pion. One o f the most exciting com petitions featured the Girls 13-15 year old Finals with Penny Tracy of the host Trail Blazers pitted against Wendy Leubers o f the Phoenix suns. Although Tracy had built a commanding two round lead of 78- 61, Leubers put on a furious rally in which she actually drew even with Tracy at 97 points during the final round. Tracy, however, got hot, hit ting 4 of her 3 shots to come away with a 111-102 win. Fred M ille r o f Seattle put on a sim ilar rally in the Boys 9-12 age group with a third round score of 39 points. U nfortunately for M ille r, T rin i Ruiz o f Golden State was equal to the task, matching M iller’s score of 39 as he protected his early round advantage with a 125-102 win. The six winners have earned the right to represent the Pacific Division at the Western Conference Championships, which are slated for March 23 in Denver, CO. There they w ill match their basketball skills against the champions o f the Midwest Division. T o advance to the finals at the Blazers game, these youngsters had to q u a lify in prelim inary com petition against the respective age group champions representing the Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, Seattle Supersonics, Golden State Warriors. San Diego Clippers and the Phoenix Suns.
