NEW YORK (LNS) - 1500 people, most of them black, jammed Harlem's Apollo Theater to hear Aretha Franklin and John Lennon and Yoko Ono perform a benefit for the families of slain Attica prisoners.

Aretha performed for an hour to a cheering throng at the benefit, sponsored by the Urban League. John and Yoko, who performed three songs, including their new one, "Attica State" were also greeted enthusiastically at the performance on December 17.
