Gene Cotton LIVE! f Electricity filled the air as McAlister Auditorium hosted the long-awaited concert of a name performer—Gene Cotton. Cotton, whose career recently skyrocketed, came to Furman amidst the excitement which only a star can produce. Welcomed by the anxious Furman audience. Cotton captured the crowd with his recent hit, “Before My Heart Finds Out.” Reaction rose as Cotton churned out song after song long found high on the record charts. Many students were surprised with the number of hits which Cotton has recorded. Among the favorites were “You're a Part of Me,” “Let Your Love Flow,” “Sunday in Salem,” and “Shine On.” The superb band and background vocals rendered an electrifying rock version of “Eleanor Rigby.” The recording artist proclaimed in the concert that an audience of this type was his favorite. This appreciation was reciprocated by the audience after he and a female band member belted out the lyrics “Take me away...” to the csctatic applause of the usually reserved Furman audience. All nerds were at the North-South Doubleheader. V 26 I Student Life
