Ike And Tina
Turner Face
Panther Suit
(From Amsterdam News)
The Black Panthers Party in
Oakland, Calif, in a hassle
with the top-rated Ike and
Tina Turner Revue, threatened
to sue the group for libel and
breach of contract.
At the same time, Ike
Turner announced that he’s is
going to court to press
criminal charges against the
Black Panthers Party for
injuries suffered when he was
slugged over the head with a
lead pipe during a concert
July 27 sponsored by he
Panthers.
The trouble started,
according to a report, when
Ike tried to intercede in a a
scuffle involving his guitarist
at the Oakland Auditorium
where the concert was held.
Other members of the Turner
band were allegedly beaten by
stage security forces near the
end of the hour ong
performance, where they tried
to leave the stage.
Fee Dispute
According to Elaine Brown,
minister of information for
the Panthers, a disagreement
over the final $450 balance of
the $7,500 fee to the Turner
revue set off the bitter
dispute. The Turner group
demanded payment in cash
instead of by check.
The beating incident,
according to Turner, occurred
when guitarist Jackie Clark
went to investigate who had
entered his dressing room. He
was attacked by a member of
the Panthers security force.

However, he says that the
media along with referrals by
agencies has helped to educate
people concerning AOIC.
Other future plans for
AOIC include moving to a
larger more convenient area
and an African tour which
will be conducted next
summer.
Last week Jackson attended
an OIC Managerial Skills
Development course in New
York. The course was
sponsored by General Electric
and was designed to develop
new skills and sharpening
existing skills in preparation
for a more advance OIC.
Although AOIC is mainly
interested in servicing
Augusta, trainees from
neighboring counties are
accepted in the program.
