POLITICAL AFFAIR...The committee that is
responsible for re-electing Charles Dannelly to
City Council sponsored a benefit concert Wedne
sday night. September 19, at the Beacon Club on
Beatties Ford Road. The concert featured
Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, the perennial
beach music singing favorites in this area.
Maurice, the talented leader is heavier now
than he was when this reporter first saw him per
form. The years however have been good to him.
His voice has developed an elegant maturity, yet
not lacking the unmistakable Maurice sound.
-1 ne personnel in ms
group has changed
through the years. Will
iam McKinney, (horn
player) is the only mem
ber that has been with
the group for any length
of time.
The group’s style has
changed some also, add
ing the disco flavor and
using different arrange
ments for some old
Standard times. Bob Johnson
The show at the Becon for Councilman
Dannelly was well attended and allowed other
people to see and hear the new Maurice Williams
and the Zodiacs, since they rarely perform in
Charlotte. Among the attendees were Jerome
Roseboro. Joe Appling, Mr. and Mrs. Hazel
Watts, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Anthony, Mr. and
Mrs. James Caldwell, Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Mince, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Josephs, Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert Swift, Mr. and Mrs. James
McCullough, C.J. Whaley who was in the midst of
celebrating his birthday .Bill Whitmire, Mr. and
Mrs. Horace Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Calvin 1
Bailey.
DISASTER STRIKES... Crystal Springs Golf
Course beautifully sprawled along 7,000 acres of
land just off highway 51 south of Pineville is
tough and very challenging. It has creeks that lit
erally reach out and snatch golf balls, after they
have been hit from tilted fairways. Nonetheless,
hackers continually accept tne cnauenge in
hopes of someday conquering this giant link.
Such is the case with Bill Johnson, Robert Morris
and yours ^ruly. * v
Last Sunday morning the three of us braved
the cool air and rain to try; our limited skills in
mastering the monster anb were disastrously
subdued. Be that as it may, we will return again
and again and again!
While on the subject of golf, the Par.: Buster’s
Group will hold their final tournament of a very
successful year, sometime in October. The tour
, nament will be played at Sunset Hills Gold
Course. There will more details in a later issue.

! COMMAND* PERFORMANCE.. The Greater
: Galilee Baptist Church glowed last Sunday night
j with the dynamically emotional sounds of the
j 'Greater Charlotte Community Chorale in their
: last Charlotte concert of 1979.
The Greater Charlotte Community Chorale
: taught this reporter how fascinating a
j microcosm of dynamics it is possible to create and
| keep ori creating. This 54-member group is very
i capable of generating and sustaining overtly
: powerful and emotional forces.
j “Yet another arresting quality of The Greater
j charlotte Community Chorale is the evident
; persistence with which it collectively-and in the
i solo work of each of its members-continues to -
: perfect the art of the development. The solos
i rising organically from the surrounding textures
: and temperaments and always building and
j interweaving with the other voices. That’s why
; Greater charlotte Community Chorale can
: be'heard over and over in the pleasure of
j rediscovering, Md following the ways in which
i the overall and BMvidual designs grow into and
j over each other hilore your very ears.
At this concert daring a Pat Jackson solo on
i "You Don’t Know Me Yet ”, a soft spoken woman
; sitting next to me said, “If theii singing doesn’t
i move you, you’re dead.” And they surely moved
: a lot of people that memorable Sunday night.
