Grassrool News, N . 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.

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.
C om pleting its eighth season,
Pepsi/NBA Hotshot is a year-round
recreation program which is offered
at no cost to com m unity service
organizations by local Pepsi-Cola
Bottlers.
Some
2.5
m illion
youngsters participate annually at
over 7,000 recreation sites in all 50
states. C om petition culminates in
the halftimes o f N B A games.
Division, Conference and National
Championships will be televised by
ESPN later this season.
