...deaths of Otis Spann and Magic Sam, the world suffered the losses of King Curtis and Duane "Skydog" Allman last year. Allman was a guitarist of both incredible technical virtuosity and unerring taste. As a studio musician for Atlantic Records, he played on countless albums, ranging from those of Aretha Franklin to Boz Scaggs, Herbie Mann to John Hammond. He is best known, however, for his work in the Allman Brothers Band. After two good albums, a third and great album was released last year, The Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East (Capricorn). Long famous for their live performances...

...board members quit with Jackson. Money will be a problem, but plenty of prominent blacks have offered to help Jackson raise the estimated $250,000 PUSH will need for its first six months of operation-among them Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, Gary, Ind., Mayor Richard G. Hatcher, Singer Aretha Franklin, Fullback-turned-Actor Jim Brown, and Actor Ossie Davis, who is something of a behind-the-scenes power in the civil rights movement. However, those backers took care to say that they do not mean to abandon S.C.L.C., an institution that they feel must be preserved...
...Rome, a city that takes its singing seriously, the uproar was reminiscent of the time Maria Callas failed to complete a performance of Bellini's Norma. This time it was Aretha Franklin, who had been touring the country while the Italians hailed her as La Regina del Soul. After fainting at the end of a performance, Aretha canceled her next day's show, a move that produced outraged howls and legal action from Promoter Ezio Radaelli, who had paid her $65,000 in advance. Aretha responded by booking a flight to Paris. But she was picked...
...association images that succeed, at best, in creating a freaky fresco of hell. The book has the feel and sound of such nightmare Dylan lyrics as Desolation Row and Memphis Blues Again. It is peopled by meth freaks, lumberjacks, a man called Simply That, and a vaporous presence named Aretha with "religious thighs" and "no goals" who is described as "one step soft of heaven." A large supporting cast includes "mrs. Cunk," who sells "fake blisters at the World's Fair," Cardinal Spellman, Sherlock Holmes and Shirley Temple. The pages are liberally sprinkled with obscure metaphors and allusions...
