drives is in N.Y.C. Where he

Peggy Lipton and Quincy
Jones just returned from their
months’ long overseas idyll
that included a visit in
Stockholm with his ex-wife Ula
and their daughter. Some
reunion that must have been!
Ula and Peggy once were the
best of friends. Which is, in
fact, how the Mod Squad
heroine and Quincy originally
got together. The couple’s
plans for the summer are aimed
at keeping them together -- his
career commitments
notwithstanding. When the jazz
musician starts his U.S. concert
tour this month, you can
expect to see Peggy (if you
look real hard) with him on the
stage. She’s working these days
as an unbilled member of his
backup choral group. Hope
she’s at least happier with the
way she’s arranged her life now
than she was all those seasons
she was dragging down top pay
as a series lead and complaining
about her abject unfulfillment.

The company has also

important soul labels in the

Although the charges against
the black disc jockeys appear
to be some what baseless, there
is little secret that over

routinely spent millions of
dollars a year on press parties
for rock groups.
In addition, thousands of
promotion copies are sent out
to disc jockeys, newspaper and
magazine reporters, critics and
others. Often albums which

Ron O’Neal, who directed

start doing quality films for
black artists.” Sheila Frazier,
one of the stars of the movie,
said, “I never thought I was
beautiful. People do not notice
me when I’m all dressed up,
but when I go to the market
with my hair up everyone
notices me.”
