Dorothy Aloore In Terrific
Show At Baby Grand
Dorothy Moore came
into the Club Baby Grand,
the show place in Durham,
and proved she had a right to
be there. ' She stood the
house on its feet with her
big record "Misty Blue".
Liggins says he talked to
Miss Moore in her dressing
room, where she posed for
pictures. "She has a real
sweet personality," says
Liggins. She informed him
that she had been singing
for- tern years. She started
in the church at age 10.
Later she was with two Other
girls in a trio. She got her
fjrst big break in her home
town, Jackson, Miss. When
she recorded her first song
with Melaco Label, She
so new in the field. She in
formed Liggins of her up
coming tour with Tyrone
Davis and Johnny Taylor.
"She's got it" is what
Liggins says. "Dorothy
Moore can sing. She is no
one song woman. She can
sing all songs good."

A new band has been
formed in Durham at NCCU
and proved successful on the
first date at the Club Baby
Grand.
Stanley Baird, tenor sax
and reed instruments and B.
Clyde, key board, drums, sax,
Clyde plays them all. The
new band is the New Central
Connections Unlimited
(NCCU) Henry Bates, who
seems to be making the a
arrangements for the group is
real excited about the
commented Liggins, chief
executive of Duplex National
Black Distributors, D. N. B.
D., and the Black Gold Music
Program. Liggins quoted
Bates as saying "the NCCU
band was as good as Bite,
Chew, and Spit. All they
need now is those big
coliseum speakers and a big
trail-way bus and they will
have it all together." Liggins
says he agrees with Bates -the
fellows are a good group
of musicians.
Disco Music fAen and
Live Dana's
"So many people ask me
is disco musicmen taking the
place of live, bands," says
Liggins, "itV got a lot to
do with the musicians and
the way they 'perform, those
long mterrnission, showing up
late after a promoter books
the group for a certain time,
and not having their sound
equipment uptight,
tell me all oyer the country ,
that the discoimen have good ;
equipment, and play, good
music. I hope the bands
tighten up their performance
because if it wasn't for the
bands making the records
there would not be disco-
men." Liggins says in
Durham, we have kept the
fans that love to dance 'com
ing to hear live bands because
we try real hard to bring in
good bands. We advertise
them 'WeL; Its kind , of
hard fc'tfdlK!riaa to play
Club Baby: Grand because we
keep thejuti. looking for
good live bands.
' If they are good Jike
Poison, or -Bite, Chew and
Spit, they come back,' but
if they can't cut it, they have
to put out a good record
before, the club will play a
band that the fans don't
approve of.. .

"The Show folks" Wev
Black Situation Comedy
Letter, Please
A young lady had just bought a
postage stamp. "Must I stick it
on myself?" she asked.
"No," said the postal clerk.
"Stick it on the letter."
"The Show Folks" is a
new Black situation comedy
which has been written and
produced by Black talent.
Olivette Miller, the
daughter of Flournoy
Dean of Black musical re
views and one of the great
comedians of vaudeville, has
written and directed the
vehicle. "A lot of the Black
situation comedies on TV
on TV today don't seem to
have an overall view of the
Black community. I think
it's because Norman Lear
and the other producers
of the programs we see to
day don't have the exper
ience of the Black comm
unity. One of the char-, ,
acters, Mclver, is a Jamai
can both in his role and in
real life. Millions of
Americans are aware of
Black English, accents and
inflections used on TV- ass
ociated with Blacks. Now s
they will see a Black whose
English is the Queen's own.
We hope the audience will
realize that there are thou
sands of Mclyers in the
US. That Blacks are multi
faceted in color, accent, ,
goals, and attitudes is
something we want to show
through "Show. Folks,' an
entertaining sit. com.'
Emmet Cash, whose EC3
Productions is responsible
for the series, has
announced that the first
thirteen episodes have been
syndicated and will air
this fall. Cash, a well
known designer and an
executive with Fred Will
iamson's P Boy Productions,
spent months with Ms.
Miller coordinating the pro
ject. He feels that total
Black orientation of the
show will allow the Black
audience more real identi
fication, and show the white
audience some sides of the
Black community that have
not been visible hertofore.
"My years working with
Fred Williamson taught me
that you should wrap any
serious points in the cell
ophane 'of humor and the
silverfoil of run.'
The cast includes
Freddie Gordon, Amos in
the old "Amos and Andy"
series, Carole La Morid of
