Lots of voice and7 some
BY LE'ITI'IA { RU LEY
7t was a real nice evening las
night in the Events Bldg. They
weren't screaming in the aisles
or gasping for breath every mitt-
uO~ of the show, but both Sarah
Vaughn and Flip Wilson helped
the crowd have a one of those
honest-to-goodness good times.
Flip Wilson was the headliner
---the one that carne on last to
deliver the final punch. But I
think Sarah Vaughn and h e r
amnazing. chameleon voice was
the real professional of th:e
evening. She is, I feel confidenit
in saying, a true entetainer'
who took over the Events Bldg-.
as soon as she touched the stage.
Backed uip by her "miafia," a
piano player, bass player and
drummer all of Italian descent.
Sarah sang for 11 songs in an
hour and unveiled her talented
throat. Although there were on-
ly three visible instrtunents on
stage---a concert grand piano,
a bass, and a drum set, there
was really a fourth, fifth and
sixth--Sarah's voice.
Sometimnes in a song like "'
Like to Write a Book'" from the
musical "Pal Joey," it was like
a trumpet that pierced the din
created, by 2,000 people sitting
around lher.
Other times, like in "Alfie.'-
it. resembled a delicate chime-
producing the ping you get if
you strike your mother's best
crystal goblet with a spoon.
And still other times it was a
low, rtumbling baritone which
r)ushed you back in your seat.
Perhaps the most amazing
thing, though, was when Sarah
combined all of these and went
from the baritone straight up
to the chime and thena back
down to the base.
At these moments. the audi-
ence responded best one or
two enthusiasts shouted "all
right Sarah" or "sing it, Sarah."
She turned around and threw
a kiss in their direction.
But I think her classiest mo-
mnent came at what could have
been the most awkward-wh en
she forgot the lyrics to a new
Esong, "Don't We." She wvarned
the audience that she wasn't
sure of the words, and when the
slip came-after the first line
i --she simply sang in "I told yvou
II'd forget, andi I already have
didn't I ..
She picked it -ip from there
Iafter help from the piano play-
er and wvent on as though the
RS.e AI .. .ni... .. Daiy .. +.. lt ....1 an m...-
miii icd line bcelonued in t h e
song.
I must add at this point that
somne of my observations on
Sarah were aided by choice coin-
ments herie and there from a
loel-lgg'dAnn Arbor musi-
cian ---hianks IB.r
Flip Wilson was g ood, too. I
didn't find himl uproar-iously
funny, bthle was loose and
easy and did what,.lhe's famous
for doing -- his high-pitched
southern- manmny, voice. Fur-
thermlore, a lot of the audience
laughed a lot of the time.

When he caine out, Wilson
said he was interested in es-
tablishing rapport with the aud-
ience. He didn't want to be par;-
tial to the audience down front,
hie added, because "I have a
closer r'elation to the people out
back.
Singling .One gentleman out,
Wilson said he'd never forget
his face. "I'm gonna look out for
you when we win." Wilson told
him.
"And don't forg et what I said,
if we lose," by added.
Wilson's timing is a real 'asset.
It enables him to go on and
on and funny-ize nothing situa-
tions. He spent about seven
minutes doing a whole routine
about -getting robbed, maybe, on
a dark street' - "as dark as
Godfrey Cambridge."
He uses the humor of under-
statement to get the points
across. For example, a man
with a baseball bat who said
"stick 'em up" confronted Wil-
son on the dark street. "To show;
you how quick my mind works."
Wilson told the audience, "I
said to myself. 'This guy's going
to rob you.'"
Getting courageous, Wilson
claimed he said. "You think I'm
gonna let you hit me with that
bat?" And the robber s a i d,
"It'll be worse if you duck
and I mis's the first time."
And the audience laughed
and laughed. It wasn't raucously
funny, but nice-just like t h e
whole evening.
