O’Jays, friends sing sweet tribute to Levert
It's a moment for the ages. Eddie Levert of the O'Jays conjures the spirit of his gone-too-soon son, and in a flashback moment of sheer Gerald Levert-dom, it's gyrating, sensual, get-down-to-the-nitty-gritty hysteria Saturday night at the Gerald Levert Tribute Concert at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center. Before then, though, when the Manhattans with Gerald Alston took the stage, all hormones broke loose. They cranked out hit after hit from "Kiss and Say Goodbye" to "It Feels So Good to Be Loved So Bad," which had ladies all but throwing themselves on stage. But it was Alston's rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" that really got the crowd going. Dedicated to the "Jena Six" in Louisiana, it was as moving as it was mesmerizing to see this man whip up so much chutzpah as if he not only wanted change but an overhaul.
352 employees have money coming from Florida A&M
Embattled Florida A&M University will have to pay back wages totaling nearly $273,000 to 352 employees for violating overtime provisions and record-keeping requirements, the U.S. Department of Labor said Friday. Federal investigators found the university failed to accurately calculate the hours when employees worked in different departments or jobs during a work week, which resulted in some not receiving overtime when the number exceeded 40 hours. It was also found that employees were awarded compensatory time on an hourly basis instead of the required time-and-a-half provision and were allowed to accrue more than the 240-hour compensatory time limit for a single year. Florida A&M spokeswoman Sharon Sauders said the university last fall implemented several changes to bring the school into compliance with Fair Labor Standards.
