From Hollywood
Natalie Cole gave the homefolks one hell of a show
at the Greek Theater. Natalie moved through a variety
of tunes along with changing costumes on and off
stage with lots of style and grace. Toward the end of
the evening one fan became so enamored with the
singer that he attempted to make his way to the stage,
but,was stopped before he could reach the top step by
security personnel. Immediately following this incident
we noticed lovely Donna Summer quietly leave
the outdoor theater and head for her waiting limousine.
Our spies report that Martha Reeves was truly upset
with the sound system at that happy_and gay-benefit
and handed the mike to a background singer, and
walked off stage. The crowd became very unruly and
ugly. Before the evening was over mirrors were
smashed in the hall and tirp<; in 1rv?/? noriinn \~*

That top flight singing lady should best stay at home
and not make it to one of Tinseltown's infamous after
hours bars4fvhen she is totally loaded. We hear that the
singer was forced to use the walls to keep her balance,
but continued to use her large white hankie. Rumor
hazit that it wasn't the handkerchief but what was in it,'
that gave her the feeling that she could walk.
MARTHA REEVES NATALIE COLE DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER
Peaches of Peaches and Herb rubbed several media
folks the wrong way during her brief Tinseltown stay.
We didn't see it, but heard that the lady left an after
' concert affair and wasn't too cool with her action.
Beautiful Dee Dee Bridgewater is settled into her
New York apartment and rehearsing for her role in the
Broadway show 1940s Radio Hour, set to open in
October. Dee Dee and singer Bruni Pagan have j
become close friends during her New York stay. Bruni
has been doing it on the disco circuit and we hear that
the lady turned them out at the Pardise Garage.
Peter Tosh, the reggae singer who has been tagged
the Bush Doctor, cured the ills of lots of concert goers
in Canada with his last tour. Peter is being heralded in
Canada as a leading pop act which sells out any concert
hall. You may recall we reported several months
ago that-Tes^ was unhappy withhifrU.S play and our?
Canadian spies report Tosh still wants to see a lot more
Black faces in his American audiences. Peter should
take it up with his U.S. promoters and insist that they
advertise in the Black press so more Blacks would be
aware of his dynamite appearances.
Speaking of Canada, the rock group, Prism, landed
in Calgary, but the plane didn't stop. It rolled right off
the runway, but fortunately no one was injured.
