In the past. Portland's concert
m arket has been controlled by
concert companies that often shy
away from R&B artists for res
sons of thalr own. Evan whan
those companies present an REtB
concert, it la always the seme art­
ist and w hat showed waa that a
majority of REtB lovers (White and
Black) ware not being catered to.
But now that has all bean changed
w ith the concern shown by 24K
Concerts
24K Concerts feel that It Is vary
Important to create a working re­
lationship with community organ
izations as shown in the Lou Rawls
concert, whereas the Delta Sigma
Sorority was involved In the re­
caption that took place after the
concert. 24K is fast to become one
of the most talked about promo
tlonal companies in Portland be
causa of Its Intentions to present
class acts. Ona must feel good to
know that there la a concert com­
pany that is concerned about all
music lovers - not only a certain
portion. 24K Concerts would like
to know w hat you would Ilka to
sea and hear, w rite to 24K Con­
certs. 6800 S W. 92nd. Suita 30.
Portland. OR 97223 with your sug
gestiona
24K Concerts would Ilka to spol
oglza to the public for the unan­
nounced cancellation of Calvin
Walker's performance scheduled
as an opening act for Lou Rawls.
The cancellation was not created
by Calvin Walker or 24K Concerts
and was made too lata to go to
proas. Wo hope you accept our
apology
