Eruption was formed in 1974 in London by vocalizer Precious Wilson, lead guitarist Greg Perrineau, bassist Morgan Perrineau, keyboardist Gerry Williams, and drummer Eric Kingsley. Wilson was born in Jamaica and she stirred with her sept to Great Britain at the age of seven-spot. The other members of the band came from dissimilar parts of the Caribbean and Africa. In 1975, their taking of an RCA Soul Search Contest in England brought them a disc share and their showtime individual "Countenance Me Take Your Back in Time" (1976) figured prominently in the soul charts. In 1977, Boney M.'s manufacturer Frank Farian took Eruption under his wing and signed the radical with Germany-based Hansa Records. Their 1978 insure of "I Can't Stand the Rain" was a large hit internationally, arrival number five in Britain and number 18 in the U.S. (it was their only U.S. Top 40 submission). The success was sealed with "Unrivaled Way Ticket," which went to number baseball club in the U.K. the following class. Precious Wilson leftfield the chemical group in 1979 to quest after a solo calling and she was replaced with Kim Davies. Eruption disbanded in the mid-'80s and Wilson is the only member of the original lineup wHO is still active. Though successful as a solo artist, she sometimes tours below the call Eruption with her new chemical group.

Cannes-winning French film a "Class" act

CANNES (Hollywood Reporter) - Laurent Cantet takes a raw
look at a school year through the eyes of a single teacher in
"The Class," which won the coveted Palme d'Or at the Cannes
Film Festival on Sunday.


The film -- whose French title "Entre les Murs" or "Between
the Walls" accurately captures the self-imposed quarantine --
is based on a novel by Francois Begaudeau, written from his own
experiences as a teacher. He also contributes to the screenplay
and plays the key role of a language teacher, so we can be
pretty certain the film stays true its subject.


While Begaudeau's teacher struggles to get his young
charges to focus on French verbs, they question his use of
"white" names in examples, and whether the required reading has
any relevance to their lives.


Many students come from abroad; some have parents who are
undocumented immigrants. They kid a lot, some of it
good-natured but much of it comes closer to mockery. Their
intolerance stems from attitudes about how other students look
and behave, where they are from and how they speak.


As the year goes by, the students and Begaudeau's fellow
teachers come into sharper focus. One student from Mali (played
by Franck Keita) increasingly upsets the class with his
attitude and anger. Like many, he isn't clear what school can
offer him. He is sullen and retreats into rage, possibly to
disguise his own fear of failure. Then the teacher himself
makes a fateful miscalculation.


What works so well here is that none of the drama feels the
least bit imposed. It evolves naturally from class assignments,
the teacher's own free-form style and the distinctly individual
personalities of these young people thrown together by chance.
While it may lack the narrative drive of films from the past
such as "Blackboard Jungle," it also contains nothing contrived
or gimmicky. This is probably one of the most realistic high
school movies ever made.
