...number which brought the first act to a close: a group of young (aged 6-14?) black kids from Manhattan joined Labelle on stage to lend their smiling faces and beautiful voices to a crescendo of emotional outpouring--a chorus of love and hope for the future. The sight of those three ladies singing with and to and for the children, sharing their microphones with individual kids, hugging them, standing arm in arm in comradeship, brought me and several others to tears.

Then all of a sudden it is happening, the entire band is standing up there in the studio, chanting "HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY"--it is like the Ohio State football...
From the long corridor of people came a roar that built into a crescendo. "We've got a winner," the man to the right yelled. The radio reports had been right, for striding down the asphalt, flanked by police motorcycles, was Neil Cusack of East Tennessee State, eating up the last few yards.
