...Geoff Muldaur and they are sharing the band. My first impulse on hearing Muldaur sing was that he was in the band because he had bought all the equipment, or because he had something on Butterfield. Whatever Muldaur can do, he cannot sing blues. He sings with a false casualness that does not disguise the weakness of his voice, which begins to sound like a pubescent thirteen year old's. He is devoid of stage presence, which, rather than making him seem casual, acts to underscore the weakness in his voice. Butterfield should share the vocal load with...
Where Bing had been conservative, Gentele was disposed to be open and experimental. He hoped to Americanize the Met by hiring U.S. singers whenever possible; he wanted to encourage casual dress and to draw a younger audience. "Young people should come to the opera as they go to hear a pop band," he said. "Opera is a folk art, like bullfighting and prizefighting."

So did some Democrats, mostly Wallace supporters. After two days of operation, the hired guards changed into more casual clothes, giving the area less of an armed-camp atmosphere...
COME BACK, CHARLESTON BLUE features two of Shaft's soul brothers, a pair of Harlem plainclothesmen named Grave Digger Jones (Godfrey Cambridge) and Coffin Ed Johnson (Raymond St. Jacques) who made their movie debut in the casual, sometimes chaotic comedy thriller Cotton Comes to Harlem (1969). In Charleston Blue, Director Mark Warren shows a boisterous if somewhat blatant sense of fun as well as a knack for dealing with mayhem. Charleston Blue is like slaphappy and violent vaudeville. Under the guise of cleaning up the ghetto, a flashy fashion photographer called Painter is rerouting all the Mafia...
