The Magnificent Seven Live: The Supremes and the Four Tops live at the Royal Albert Hall, London
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, 17 December 1971
DUE TO lack of publicity, the International Children's Aid Charity concert on Tuesday November 30 at the Royal Albert Hall was not as well attended as it should have been for, although there may have been a few thousand "ravers" (including Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon), you could have expected an S.R.O. crowd especially with The Four Tops heading the bill. This did not, however, detract from the proceedings and the event proved to be one of the most exciting and soulful this year.
