LOLA FALANA will rtve show, airing Sunday, January
the "Song and Dance Star of 16, 10 - 11:30 p.m. (ET). In
the Year" award on the "Eri- addition to receiving the award
tertainer of the Year Awards" Ms Falana will perform.
The Manhattans, in town at the Club Baby Grand last
weekend, let a packed house know what's in store for the
future as they turned the crowd on to a predicted hit of
their new album "It Feels So Good." In addition to Mind
Your Business, which the audience thoroughly enjoyed,
the new Columbia release will contain other origianl songs
of the popular singing group.
According toBlue LoveU, one of the original group, the
album will contain such tunes as "I Want To Dance A Love
Song", "Cn The Street Where I Live", "I'd Like To See You
Tomorrow", and the title song.?
They are hoping the new release will approach or sur
pass the success of "Kiss Arid Say Goodbye," which sold
greater than three and one-half milliai as a single and over
500,000 as an album, which qualifies it as a gold record.
The engagement at the Club Baby Grand was seen by
the group as a "homecoming" of sorts since
members, Joe Alston, is from Henderson, N.C. and Kenneth
Kelly is from Fayetteville, N.C. Blue hails from Jersey City,
N.J. and Sonny Bivins is from Macon, Ga.;
They have a lot of exciting plans for the future which
will take them to perform in President-elect Jimmy Carter'
s inauguration and a three-month tour of Europe. While
in Europe they will be working in a new movie which will
focus ona travelling love story.
