Tense and nervous. Wayne
Cochran was tense before
performing in front of a crowd
of 300 Tuesday night at the
Royal Grove night club. The
platinum-haired man had never
played in Lincoln before.
His ten back-up men, the
C.C. Riders, played three
numbers before Cochran
appeared in a white coat, light
blue satin pants, paisley shirt,
and silver and black platform
heels to belt out blue-eyed soul
songs like "Going' Back to
Miami", "Try a Little
Tenderness" and "Sea Cruise".
He disappeared backstage
for a few seconds, bringing
back two bottles of Southern
Comfort, generously sharing
them with the audience.
"I may be the biggest fool
here tonight, but how many
other people want to be fools,
too?" the man from Macon,
Ga. asked the crowd and the
people didn't seem to mind
playing along.
