POP/ROCK - Sept. 14, 1990

Tribute to Mayfield: A concert tribute to soul singer Curtis Mayfield, who is rehabilitating after a freak accident, will be staged at the Palace in Hollywood on Sept. 25. It will feature performances by Mayfield’s original group the Impressions (with a possible appearance by Jerry Butler) plus rap artists Ice-T, Tone Loc, Eazy-E, Mellow Man Ace and Kid Frost. Proceeds from the $25-per-ticket event will go to Mayfield’s family, to help defray mounting medical costs. The 48-year-old veteran singer is still undergoing physical therapy at a spinal center in Georgia after an onstage accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. Donations can be sent to the Curtis Mayfield Recovery Fund c/o Jack Culbreth, 10 Piedmont Center--Suite 350, 3495 Piedmont Road NE, Atlanta, Ga. 30305.
