Some of the topics thatPowell covers in the album in-clude "Keep the Faith, Baby"and "Burn, Baby, Burn," inwhich he says that the Negroesshould "Learn, Baby, Learn"in order to "Earn, Baby, Earn."

In another segment of thealbum, "The Death of AnyMan," he reflects his longtimedevotion to pacifism and opinesthat the war in Viet Nam isinterfering with the progressof the war on poverty at home.In "My Dear Colleagues" he re-calls the assassination of JuliusCaesar.

We feel that CongressmanPowell's current problems mir-

THE GOSPEL IN WORDS & MUSICREV. ADAM CLAYTON POWELL-Roulette R 25164.

Philly lad, Keith, doesn't push it andperhaps that's the quality that has dis-tinguished his approach to his clicktunes, "Ain't Gonna Lie" and "98.6."He shows off his sunny disposition on aclick -bound album, produced by JerryRoss.

KAL RUDMAN'S

Money MusicTop Money Music Picks in Nov.:Top 10 National Giants in Jan.

This column predicted the week before it was released that"Karate," Emperors, Amy, would be a pop and R&B giant. Itjumped from Z13 to #6 at WKNR, Detroit, last week and is goinghigher. It went top 10 in Philly.

We discovered Keith at a record hop we gave and turned himover to producer Jerry Ross. That was 21/2 years ago. "98.6" isnow top 10 in sales in most cities, and is going top 5 in a week orso. He will be the teen idol of 1967! He comes over bigger thanlife in person.

We called the shot on Neil Diamond two weeks before his firstrecord came out. "You Got To Me" looks like easy top 10.

We predicted that "Wack Wack," Young -Holt, Brunswick, wouldgo big R&B and then go pop, and it's a giant. It's the biggest in-strumental in the country.

We said from the beginning that "Georgy Girl" would be thepicture of the year and that the song would bea monster. When it broke, it broke fast. Thefirst station to chart it #1. was KPOI, Honolulu,back in November.

No use even talking about Aaron Neville. Noone can ever forget that record.

Larry Uttal of Amy and this column said thatJames and Bobby Purify would go 111 R&B andthen the same pop. "Wish You Didn't Have toGo" is following the same route as "Puppet"Kal Rudman

but faster.Hunch of the Week: "Let's Get Lost on a Country Road," Kit

Bats, Jamie, is 39,000 in Philly and hit la in Winston-Salem. Afew big stations have agreed to give it a real shot. Watch!

Pick: "Now," Dick Jacobs, Brunswick.Sureshot: "Let's Fall in Love," Peaches and Herb, Date. This

top 3 R&B winner is now getting the big pop play that it needs.Giants ...

Mama Cass; Lovin' Spoonful; Buckinghams; Nancy Sinatra;Tom Jones; Peter & Gordon; Bob Crewe; Sonny & Cher; TommyRoe; Senator Bobby; Left Banke; Casinos; Paul Revere . . .

"Gimme Some Lovin'," Spencer Davis, UA, is hot everywhere ex-cept, you guessed it, Detroit. The Jordan Brothers version is #1in Boston for Philips.

Records on the Rise . . .

"Grizzly Bear," Youngbloods, RCA, continues to spread andgrow . . . "Nikki Hoeky," P. J. Proby, Liberty, is being playedeverywhere and is getting good R&B play. Fat Daddy broke it inBaltimore . . . Brenda Lee looks very good . . . "Children of St.Monica," Don Grady, Canterbury, is now a smash with BerthaPorter in Hartford, which means it's a smash for everyone . . .

"Ruby Tuesday" is the side for the Rolling Stones . . . "Dis-Ad-vantage of You," Brass Ring, is a commercial winner. It brokein Philly.

Atlantic-Atco has exploded on the pop scene with the Giant"Lovin' You," Bobby Darin, and "For What It's Worth," BuffaloSpringfield, (which is top 10 in L.A. and is a N.Y.C. hit). The newYoung Rascals is very potent, and the new Wilson Pickett is"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" and this should be hisbiggest pop hit ever .. . PREDICTION: The Sonny and Cher is aguaranteed NUMBER ONE record!

Atlantic Poptomistic About Eddie, CarlaR&B hits are now almost invariably going top 10 pop-when they

get strong promotion at pop stations! The title of the new EddieFloyd, "Raise Your Hand," has created a gimmick with the R&Bkids-they raise their hand during the dance as Eddie chants thewords. As the "Raise Your Hand" dance catches on pop, the labelis "poptomistic" about getting a top 5 pop hit. Eddie Floyd ishopeful that Paul Cannon, PD of WKNR, this time around willprogram both the Floyd and "Something Good," Carla Thomas, so

that Mary Jacobs of Music Merchants can sell the full potentialpop in Detroit. This would also enable these records to go muchhigher in the national charts than last time, and in the vital GavinReport pop top 40. If you don't get top 10 on WKNR, Detroit, withan R&B hit, it can cost you 20 or more stations and at least200,000 record sales. That's exactly what happened to the lastCarla Thomas, "Baby" and "Knock On Wood"! A lot of peoplenever realized this, but it's absolutely TRUE!

It now appears that "Shingaling '67," Don Covay, Atlantic, isTHE hot new dance rage, and has caught on big with the popteenyboppers in Long Island and suburban N.Y. . . . "Try a LittleTenderness" busted at WDGY, Minneapolis, and Denver, and it isthe biggest seller Otis Redding has ever had. He is THE hip thingat the college campuses, and this standard can be a pop smashwherever it gets played.

Pup Music for Pop TeenyboppersThere is so much "pup music" being shipped that no one station

can begin to play all the regional hits: Byrds and the Cyrkle haveColumbia smoking; and the Rubber Band may still go all the wayfor them; "Lay Down Your Arms," Grady Lloyd, Smash, looksgood; and "Clock on the Wall," Sounds Like Us, may also do itfor them; Vogues; Mojo Men; Roger Nichols look very good.

New Colony 6 . . . "Just Let It Happen," Arbors, Date, is a smashin Baltimore as usual . . "There Goes My Everything," JackGreene, Decca, is a giant in Dallas and was a C&W monster . . .

There is tremendous play on "What Will My Mary Say," Jay Black(of Jay and the Americans). This is a very strong record andJim Brown is running . . . "Sunrise Sunset," Roger Williams isfantastic ... We love "Daddy's Little Girl," Al Martino, and we'reold enough to remember when Bobby Burke wrote it in Philadel-phia . . . "One More Mountain" will be very big for Ronnie Dove. . . "Oo Baby," Bo Diddley, is a pop hit in Philly . . . "DeadendStreet," Kinks, is a hit . . . Tokens look good . . . "It May Be Win-ter Outside," Felice Taylor, Mustang, is shaping up large in areas... "I'll Take Care," Frankie Lane, ABC, is a hit in Philly withouttop 40 play. It went on WIBG and WMCA this week . . LesleyGore is a tuff record. Could hit! . . .

Showman of Year-James Brown

Ames Brown opened at the biggest night club in the country,the Latin Casino, just outside Philly. The local critics are fromthe more mature, set, and aren't too hipped or grooved with rockand savage R&B. They have only been familiar with Brown'swork from the Ed Sullivan show; but they wrote in the localpapers, "Whatever you thought about this guy before, skip it,forget it, and start from scratch"!

They called James' show the wildest, most driving revue theyhave ever seen. They discovered that James is a screaming, danc-ing, shouting, dynamic earthy soul singer. With the 22 membersof his driving band, the Famous Flames, he has a polished, beau-tifully rehearsed excellent thing. The instrumentation is not onlystrikingly novel but tremendously effective with four drums. Hehas two male and three female dancers who are tireless and livelyin interpreting his singing moods.

From beginning to end, the fast-moving, relentlessly paced showbuilds as carefully, as expertly and as excitingly to its climaxes asa well -planned military maneuver. He has the lustiest, most pow-erful band this side of Tamla-Motown that belches arrangementsthat are not only different from anything that ever was or is, butare absolutely right for his material and moods. They zip andzoom with a steady spirit and endless energy that matches Jamesright into the long, surging finale that resembles a miniaturehurricane. As Frank Brookhouser of the Philadelphia EveningBulletin said, "I'm a Believer Now"!

Brown and Revue have broken all house records at the LatinCasino and every show has been sold out. Every pop night clubin the country wants to book Brown & Co., including spots inMiami, Las Vegas and Puerto Rico. This will make Brown thebiggest R&B star ever to cross into the white night club circuitso successfully. (Continued on page 15)

"It Hurts To Say Goodbye," Vera Lynn, UA, is a very classyrecord and the Spencer Davis is top 5 in Cleveland . . . Left Bankeis already #1 at KPOI, Honolulu . . . "Love," Dee and Lola, selling,in the South R&B for Josie . . . SURESHOTS: "59th St. Bridge,'Harper's Bizarre, W.B. and "Indescribably Blue," Elvis Presley.

Where It's AtUnited Artists is all out on "Friday on My Mind," Easybeats,

which hit top 3 in England . . . "Everybody Needs Somebody toLove," Wilson Pickett, looks like a bigger pop hit than "MidnightHour" . . . Ernie Durham, WJLB, Detroit, who has found manyrecords that ended up as pop giants (like the first Ramsey Lewis)found one for Atco: "Summer Song," Michelle Rubini. He is get-ting top action from both adults and teens, and Bob Kornheiseris all out on this side.

Fat Daddy, 'King of R&B,' Breaks Pop RecordsDr. Fat Daddy, WWIN, Baltimore, who has a Ph.D. in E.S.P.,

(Extra Soul Perception) is all out to break, "I Will Wait For You"out of the Frank Sinatra, "That's Life" LP, just like he broke"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" from the "Wicked Picket"LP, and the new Young Rascals single from their LP. He is theonly one in Baltimore playing the "Let's Spend the Night To-gether" side of the Rolling Stones in Baltimore, and broke P. J.Proby and Spencer Davis. Everyone is running to WWIN withpop records now.

Fast Around the TrackL.A. reports that "For What It's Worth," Buffalo Springfield,

is top 10 ... WMCA went right on "We're Alone," Tommy James,Roulette . . . WCAO went right on "Love of the Common People,"4 Preps, Capitol . . . "No Fair At All," Association, is a sure hit... "I Got To Go Back," McCoys, Bang, has now busted in Cincin-nati and all through the Southwest . . . KJR, Seattle, busted ourtip of a few weeks ago for Bob Thompson, "Walter Wart," PickleDish Choir, MTP . . . "Oo Baby," Bo Diddley, Chess, is bustingpop in California . . . "Love You So Much," New Colony 6, Sentar,

will end up a top 5 national Smash. Marty Thau has worked veryhard. Neil Bogart brings them in for Cameo ... "My Best Friend,"Jefferson Airplane, RCA, is a smash in S.F., and many stationsare picking up on it . . . "Kind of a Hush," Gary & Hornets.Smash, is a winning record . . oitTrieOn)own," Jackie DeShan-non, Liberty, should be a chart buster . "Spooky, Mike Sharp,

hit for Liberty in lititga. It look-s good in Cleveland and gota lot of R&B play . . . "Sit Down," MOjo Men, WB, is a giant inS.F., and is spreading big to the South . . . There is a lot of inter-est in the new Connie Francis, "Another Page," which was doneby Koppelman and Rubin . . . "Trouble," Kingsmen, Wand, is avery strong record, and Fat Daddy plans to break it in Baltimore... "Why Not Tonight," Jimmy Hughes, Fame, is an R&B GIANTin the South, is a certain pop hit in the South, and could easilyturn into another top 10 pop hit for Jimmy like "Steel Away" did. . . "I Dig You Baby," Jerry Butler, Mercury, is also going pop inthe South off big R&B sales.

Every pop station that went on, "I'm Gonna Miss You," Artistica,Brunswick, made it a pop monster, like in Detroit, Philadelphia,and New York (did 55,000 there). How can a in R&B smash andproven pop hit get lost? . . . Will "Wack Wack," Young -Holt,Brunswick, get lost, too? Somebody in the business better wakeup to these kind of hits!

"This Precious Time," Terry Knight, Cameo, is a sure winner,and Marty Thau is running . . . One of hottest, most played newrecords in the country is, "Go Where You Want To Go," 5th Di-mension.

Flash: The title of the new Donovan is "Epistle to Dippy." TheRIAA officially credited "Mellow Yellow" with going over a mil-lion in sales. Apparently WMCA and WQXI forced Epic to release"Epistle to Dippy" . . . The new Walter Jackson is "Speak HerName."

Speedy Perez, Music Director of KRBC, Abilene, called and hetells us he was first to get "We're Alone," Tommy James. He in-forms us that the columns are very helpful and give him manytips. He remembers every item, and digs when they start breakingfour or five weeks after the tip is printed.

Eduardo Davidson:

Le Frissoning to FameBy TOMAS FUNDORA

NEW YORK-As far back aswe can remember, EduardoDavidson has been a most crea-tive composer.

Born in Cuba, he gained hisfirst credit as a writer forC.M.Q. Radio and TV. His laPachanga rhythm proved agreat success a few years ago,and has been recorded bycountless orchestras throughoutthe world.

Singers from all over LatinAmerica have been interpret-ing la Pachanga for years.After this success, Eduardoflew to this country and startedto work as hard as ever, creat-ing another rhythm, el Bimbi,which gained a certain popu-larity.

When speaking about la Pa-changa, Eduardo remarks thathe will never forget that it wassinger Eva Flores who firstrealized la Pachanga could bea smash. This rhythm is alreadyconsidered a standard in LatinAmerican music.

In person, Eduardo has theingratiating child -like qualityof someone who is always look-ing for something new.

Wrote Over 600 SongsAs a composer, Davidson has

written over 600 songs fromwhich more than 60 have beensmashes.

Tomas Fundoraand Eduardo Davidson.

Love," "El Viaje y la Renun-cia," "El Mudo," "Ting -Tiling,""By George," "Tennessee,""Mas Caliente por la Noche,""Sintiendo el Le Frisson" and"Le Frisson," are selling in abig way.

WHERE IT'S AT

The Heavyweights are Back!The heavyweights of R&B are back on the playing field, and

stone class will always tell.Marty Wekser showed why he won the award in the Gavin

Poll as "Music Director of the Year" by picking up the ballbehind Fat Daddy ("Deejay of the Year")-Marty put "Every-body Needs Somebody To Love" from the "Wicked Pickett" LPon a "cart" over WWRL, and the backorders in N.Y.C. areunbelievable! As the World knows, Fat Daddy told Jerry Wex-ler that was the cut, and proved it by forcing it out of the LPin Baltimore as a giant! Jerry Wexler, "Record Exec of theYear," and Bert Berns wrote the song. Jerry didn't believe itcould be a giant, apparently because he wrote the lyric. Did youknow he wrote the short story "Edgar" that won a first prize inthe nation in 1954? The story is published in countless anthol-ogies with top names.

Before we get to the new and unbelievable Supremes, let usdiscuss WWRL and its genius, General Manager Frank Ward.Let's tell it like it really is, baby! When WWRL opened, all thehippies and the smart money and big-time Broadway Skepticsat Al and Dick's glibly predicted that "RL" would never be"no big thing." There had never been an important R&B stationin the "Big Apple," and WMCA was THE R&B station in Har-lem and Bedford-Stuyvesant. With Rocky Groce (formerly ofWLIB) as his big gun and right-hand man, Frank put togetherproduction and sound that was unreal, like he did at WVON,Chicago, and in Miami at WFUN, and other places. Are theybig now? Bert Berns sold 50,000 copies of the Freddie Scottbefore WMCA touched it. The same is true for the Jimmy Cast-or. The Prince Buster version of "10 Commandments of Love"is over 70,000 in N.Y. WMCA 'lies not intend to play either thePrince Buster or Nickie Lee version. WWRL started the wholegiant Latin-R&B trend, which made Joe Cuba and HectorRivera big recording stars.

Besides Frank Ward, the one other guy the pros in broad-casting consider a genuine genius is Bill Drake, who madeKHJ number one in L.A. pop and runs a number of top stationson the West Coast.

Now, back to the Supremes and "Love Is Here And NowYou're Gone." Because of the great lyrics, we predict this willbe the biggest hit the Supremes have ever had. This column iship to the special source of resource materials that Eddie andBrian Holland use to inspire their sure -fire -hit lyrics. It is soobvious to a professional writer, that most other lyric writershave overlooked the secret. The formula is so fantastic, youabsolutely cannot miss when you use it, if you write skillfully.

Avalanche of Hit ProductThe R&B Music Directors and PDs have a problem! There

are just too many great new records! Donny Brooks at WDAS,Philadelphia and Dr. Fat Daddy at WWIN, Baltimore, starteda brand new dance rage, the "Raise Your Hand For Roll Call."It's a "Shingaling Shuffle and Catbird Cocktail" followed by a"Boogaloo Chaser." You do it to the fantastic new Eddie Floyd,"Raise Your Hand" . . . The new Don Covay, "Shingaling '67,"has already spread from the leader hip R&B kids and we predictthis dance will go #1 R&B and top 5 pop.

The number one new female soul artist of 1967 has to beLorraine Ellison of Warner Brothers. Jerry Ragavoy cut herin a roaring, soul -upsetting, lusty, propulsive, dark ambertidal wave of funk called "If I Had a Hammer" that has AlJefferson, Bill Curtis, Nickie Lee, Fred Hanna, Bob Jones andJohnny Persons gasping for breath. She makes most otherfemale soul singers sound like a tea bag on its fourth cup ofwater. Mike Maitland and Joe Smith of WB are convinced thather new LP, "Heart & Soul," will make her #1 female in 1967.

Within two weeks Atco willbe rushing to the legion of fansof the winged warrior the newcomedy LP featuring the ad-ventures of the feathered crimefighter, "The Best of Chicken -man."

The album presents greatmoments from the Chickenmanradio serial, and features DickOrkin, WCFL (Chicago) Pro-duction Manager, actress JaneRoberts and WCFL morningdeejay Jim Runyun.

Chickenman was pluckedfrom the fertile mind of DickOrkin. Every day, seven daysa week, the adventures ofChickenman were presented onWCFL radio and Chicagoanstook the winged warrior totheir hearts and to their funny -bones. Requests poured in fromother stations to air the Chick-enman serial, and in a fewmonths more than 75 stationsthroughout the country wererunning the Chickenman serial.

The demand for recordsfrom Chickenman's fans becameso overwhelming that Orkinhad a recording made of thefunniest adventures of Chick-enman and offered it for salethrough WCFL. In two monthsover 5000 copies of the Chicken -man LP were sold in Chicago.Other stations asked for therecord and as of now over 20,-000 copies of the disc on theSpot label have been soldthroughout the country by radiostations alone.

Atco Records is putting a tre-mendous promotional and ad-vertising campaign behind theChickenman LP at the consumerand trade level.

"Why Not Tonight," Jimmy Hughes, is already top 5 in mostSouthern markets, and we predict that it will do a quarter ofa million before it's over . . . Atlantic is thrilled that SolomonBurke finally got himself a big hit record, "Light in the Win-dow" .. . "Something Good," Carla Thomas, looks good . . . Thesales in N.Y.C. on "Something on Your Mind," King Curtis,have upset Henry Allen's nerves. He can't believe it! Too much!

Everyone is thrilled that Don Robey caught himself a big onewith "Hold On," Buddy Ace, which is the #2 Blues Breakout ofthe Week. What's #1? -Why, "Man or Mouse," Jr. Parker, Duke!

Joe Medlin is thrilled with all the Picks on "Now," DickJacobs, Brunswick. We called the shot on this record last week.Congrats to George Wilson, PD of WHAT, Philadelphia whowas first in the nation to make it a station Pick . . . DonnyBrooks says the hit side of the new Jackie Wilson is "I Don'tWant To Lose You" and Al Jefferson and Ernie Durham say it's"Just Be Sincere," . . . Carl Davis cut a new Gene Chandlercalled "The Girl Don't Care," Brunswick, that cannot miss.What an artist!

The last Darrow Fletcher went top 10 in Chicago. This 15 -year -old blues beltin' genius just came out with a great onecalled "You've Got That Certain Little Something" and it won"The Battle of the Week" with Donny Brooks at WDAS and isthe "Too Hot To Hold" at WWIN, Baltimore.

Saul and Joe Bahari of Kent -Modern Records are back in theR&B wars like since 1947 (20 years of smashes). Their newVernon Garrett, "Shine It On," is a fantastic blues. The newMary Love, "Baby I'll Come," on Modern is choice soul . . .

United Artists is thrilled because "Gimme Some Lovin'," Spen-cer Davis, has made it R&B at many top stations like WHAT,WDAS, WWIN, KGFJ.

DOESN'T ANYBODY WANT TO PLAY A SMASH? -"GirlDon't Make Me Wait," Bunny Sigler, Parkway, is over 10,000in Philly pop and R&B. He is the most dynamic performer sinceJames Brown, and needs a stage as big as a football field to dohis dance and stuff. He gets top money in the top Philly nightclubs without ever having a hit . . . The 5 Stairsteps is comingin like gangbusters and the Bobby Marchan looks like a winner.

Amy -Bell's Roaring JanuaryAmy -Bell came roaring out in January. The James and Bobby

Purify, "Wish You Didn't," is gone. "Dark End," James Carr,proves that every town is loaded with "cheaters," especiallyN.Y.C., Cleveland, and Baltimore. The new Mitch Ryder is "SockIt To Me -Baby."

"Karate," Emperors, Amy, hit top 5 pop at WKNR, Detroit,and the new LP is fantastic. We dig the "Sweet and Innocent"side of the Clyde McPhatter which Rick Hall did, and it takesus back 10 years to the old C. McP. "Everytime," Linda Carr,broke big in Detroit with Ken Bell, Martha Jean and ErnieDurham at WJLB, and with Robbie D., Ray Henderson, BillWilliams at WCHB. WIGO went with it, and it broke in Hart-ford. It's a hit record!

"Dry Your Eyes," Brenda and the Tabulations, Dionn(Jamie), was busted in Philly by George Woods. It is over10,000 there and will do 30,000. WWIN and Nickie Lee atWAME, Miami, play it once an hour, it broke at WAMO, Pitts-burgh and will be a giant!

JazzTaking Care of Business

By DEL SHIELDS

This is our second in a ser-ies of reports on the jazz sceneas seen by leading executivesof jazz labels. As we optimis-tically look to a bigger year in1967, the various executivesoffer some interesting observa-tions on why '66 was a banneryear and offer their reasons forthe upward trend.

This week, Len Sachs, Direc-tor of Merchandising and Al-bum Sales for Atlantic Records,responds. F,,r the past five

years Len hasbeen responsi-ble for Atcoand all theother Atlanticaffiliates. Len,rated by usamong theleading men inthe business, isacutely awareof the need to

promote jazz and expends everyeffort to see that jocks are serv-iced with the product.

In looking over the reportsfrom the men we talked with,there is something quite evi-dent. Where there was an in-crease in sales, it was due notonly to the public respondingbut due to the all-out promo-tional efforts of the companies.The aware jazz labels are nolonger sitting back and hopingfor a miracle in sales. Theyare going out and pushing theproduct and treating their jazzdepartments as major membersin their total program.

Len writes :As you so succinctly stated,

"Jazz is getting better . . ."1966 was the biggest sales

year in the 19 -year history ofAtlantic Records. As part ofthe over-all sales, jazz albumsplayed a substantial role. Her-bie Maim, the Modern JazzQuartet, Sergio Mendes, Broth-er Jack McDuff, Charles Lloyd,Mose Allison, Hank Crawfordand Eddie Harris were some ofthe artists whose albums con-tributed to the banner jazz yearunder the aegis of Nesuhi Erte-gun, Atlantic VP, who overseesjazz production for the label.

Herbie Mann's LP, "Stand-ing Ovation at Newport," wasone of our top selling albums.It was recorded live at the 1965Newport Jazz Festival - andonce again Herbie's electrify-

ing version of "Comin' HomeBaby" caused a sensation.

The Modern Jazz Quartet'salbum with Laurindo Almeida,"Collaboration," has been anoutstanding album. The soundof the Modern Jazz Quartetwith Laurindo Almeida hasbeen called "the most satisfy-ing collaboration in years."

Herbie Mann's album "Mon-day Night At the Village Gate,"which brought Herbie back tohis old stamping ground, con-tains wailing performances of"Motherless Child" and "AwayFrom The Crowd," etc., and putHerbie high on the charts onceagain.

In his Atlantic album "TheGreat Arrival," Sergio Mendesdisplays his artistry on a win-ning collection of Braziliansongs and tasteful pop material.His warm piano stylings areneatly showcased by large or-chestral backing. This albumtoo has turned into a smashseller.

Label NewcomerA newcomer to the label,

Brother Jack McDuff, broughtgreat excitement to the jazzworld in his Atlantic album "AChange is Gonna Come." AsAmerica's No. 1 soul artist,Brother McDuff came throughwith down home performancesof an outstanding collection ofblues tunes on a harddrivingLP.

Another newcomer to the At-lantic roster, who is destinedto become one of the "greats"in jazz, is Charles Lloyd. Hisfirst album on Atlantic, "DreamWeaver," spotlighted an imagi-native and creative tenor saxand flute work by Lloyd overstrong support by his quartet.

No newcomer to the jazzworld is Mose Allison. As oneof our "steadies," his album"Mose Allison Recorded Liveat the Lighthouse in HermosaBeach" did very well. Mose'sunique vocal and piano stylingwere captured in exciting fash-ion on this LP.

One of our mainstays andperennial best-sellers is HankCrawford. Hank's album of"After Hours," reached newheights with memorable per-formances on both alto sax andpiano of a broad -based collec-

CORNBREAD

LEE MORGAN-Blue Note 4222/BST 84222

"SideWinder" and the "Search for theNew Land" established Lee as one ofthe new members of best-selling jazzartists able to penetrate the charts."Cornbread" should join the select com-pany of his past successes. With JackiLMcClean, Hank Mobley, Herbie Han-cock, Larry Ridley and Billy Higgins,Lee has cooked up a panful of soulfulcornbread. This album is proof posi-tive that a jazz musician can cook ina musically appealing manner withoutbeing forced to compromise and stillremain artistically valid.

Eddie Harris is also a recentaddition to the label. His debutalbum on Atlantic, "The InSound," is an absolute gas. Thetenor man blows up a storm ona potent group of blues andpop evergreens.

Stage Review

'By Jupiter'RCA Godsend

NEW YORK - Some thingsare above criticism. And one ofthem is (or are) Rodgers andHart, whose 25 -year -old musi-cal, "By Jupiter," was revivedat the Theatre Four last weekwith revisions by "Cabaret"lyricist Fred Ebb.

Rodgers and Hart, who pro-vided the book as well as thesongs for this show, pioneeredcountless musical comedy con-ventions. But every once in awhile during their careers,they sat back and wrote a littlesomething off the top of theirheads.

"By Jupiter," their last col-laboration, falls into this cate-gory. It's a burlesque-varsityshow style-about what hap-pens when the Greeks come tomake war on the Amazonswhere the women are men andthe men are women (a sexualidentity crisis not ungermaineto these times). Then ensues ascriptful of nonsense jokeslike "I never thought I'd be awar groom." This is not truewit and only occasionally in-ventive yuks.

CMA MeetsSAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO -

The Americana Hotel in SanJuan will be the scene of thefirst quarterly meeting of theCountry Music AssociationMonday and Tuesday, Jan. 23and 24.

About 32 board members andofficers are attending the two-day event under leadership ofnew CMA president Paul Cohen.The majority of the businessactivities are taking place these

in San Juantwo days; however, certaincommittee meetings and otherfunctions were held over theweekend.

Topping the list of businessfor this meeting is putting thefinishing touches on the Coun-try Music Hall of Fame andMuseum, plans for upcomingNARM convention in Los An-geles, as well as a staunch mem-bership drive for the CMA.

Acuff Half - HoursThe Armed Forces Radio and

TV Service has acquired a col-lection of 39 half-hour TV filmsstarring veteran country -musicking Roy Acuff and his entiremusical aggregation, through aspecial arrangement withAcuff -Rose Artists Corp. andAcuff himself.

It's Action - VilleNEW YORK - The correct

label name on the new AlvinChristy release is Action -Ville,not Action, which was a mis-print. Dota LaPell, VP, reports.

`Jupiter'(Continued from page 36)

(Historically, this kind ofwar lampoon was obviouslytailored to World War II times,and certainly was more mean-ingful then on that level. Manyof the references, which willskip by audiences now, wereprobably sure laugh -getters atone time. On this count the playis dated.)

And then there are the songs."Wait 'Till You See Her" (re-stored after having been cutfrom the original production),"Ev'rything I've Got," "JupiterForbid," "Nobody's Heart,""Here's a Hand," "CarelessRhapsody," "Bottoms Up." Allare a delight to hear and willremain a delight on the im-pending RCA caster album -apackage that will benefit buyerand company alike. (RCAbacked the revival in a verywise move. Certainly musicalcomedy buffs will turn out to aman to get the package.)

The production at hand is astrong one. It is well -cast, well -directed, and well -everything.Bob Dishy, an imaginativeclown, has the big comedy roleas the above -mentioned Amazonwar groom, whose wife goes offto war before the honeymoonstarts. Robert R. Kaye, SheilaSullivan, Emory Bass andJackie Alloway play other im-portant roles in a "make -love -not -war" approach.

-Dave Finkle.

Opry Adds DatesAcuff -Rose Artist Corp., which

recently announced the firstbooking of a Grand Ole Oprycountry -star package for one ofthe main rooms in Reno, hasadded important dates for thetroupe both before and afterthe two -and -a -half week Renoouting.

Scheduled to start in mid -February at Harrah's, Reno,the unit will appear at theValley Music Hall, Salt LakeCity, on Saturday (11) underthe auspices of promoter HenryHilton and Radio KSOP. Back-ing up star and host Roy Acuffand his Smokey Mountain Boyswill be Cousin Minnie Pearl,George Hamilton IV, MarionWorth and Lonzo and Oscar.

On March 3 and 4, immedi-ately following its Reno en-gagement, the troupe moves onfor two performances at theCarousel Music Theater in WestCovina, Calif. On this date,veteran Bill Carlisle will sub-stitute for Lonzo and Oscar.

Lynn Rodeo HeadThe Loretta Lynn Champion-

ship Rodeo operating out ofNashville and Hurricane Mills,Tenn., has named a rodeo spe-cialist to direct its entire in-ternational rodeo activities:Bruce Lehrke.

Welcome

Shaking hands on recently -con-cluded agreement is Capitol's new-ly appointed Nashville A&R Pro-ducer, Kelso Herston, and Capitol'sExecutive Country -&-Western Pro-ducer, Ken Nelson, Herston, whocomes to Cap from United Artists,will report to Nelson.

RECORD WORLD -January 28, 1967 39


NASHVILLE

REPORT

By PAUL PERRY

21.

New Records OutstandingThere's been much talk about many outstanding new records

being released this month. But I just marveled at the excitementconveyed by Boone chief Bobby Bobo over the new Neil Merrittrelease due out this week on his label. "The hit potential in thisone is so great!", said the Cincinnati area resident. The title is"Gentlemen be Seated," and was written by Merritt who, inci-dentally, wrote "May tne Bird of Paradise Fly up Your Nose."Sounds like an instant top 10 number from here.

Mike Landon, Little Joe of "Bonanza," along with the StonemanFamily, headed up a March of Dimes telethon over the past week-end at Chattanooga. Channel 3 in that city sponsored the eventand reported terrific reception. The Stonemens are due out witha new single this week, "Bottle of Wine," their third for MGM.

The competition was rather vast on Sunday, Jan. 15, in Tulsa.Ferlin Husky and his Hush Puppies played the Cain Ballroomwhile across town found Buck Owens and his Buckaroos doingbusiness at the Trianon.

The official announcement just came on Wilma Lee and StoneyCooper's addition to the Aud-Lee Talent Group. Buddy Lee con-tinues to bolster one of the already outstanding selection ofentertainers.

Paul

Word from Music Row has Roger Miller duein this week for recordings under Jerry Kennedyon Smash. The Wild Child just finished a suc-cessful stand at Reno's Harrah Club.

Lorene Mann, now handled by the Joe TaylorArtist Agency here, as well as sporting the big-gest hit of her career, has had a torrid scheduleof late. In addition to filming the "AmericanSwing Around" in Chicago, Lorene journeyed toDothan, Ala. and taped six shows. She then

treked to Birmingham and back to Music City for more TVappearances.

Acuff -Rose magnet Wes Rose winged to the West Coast lastweek to get a sneak preview of "The Fastest Gun in the West."The movie stars Roy Orbison, whom Rose manages, and is slatedfor movie house distributing in the spring.

The local C & W king WENO last week taped a full five hoursegment of their night-time programming and sent it to NCOclubs in South Vietnam. The Boys over there are really hungryfor our kind of music. Why not investigate the possibility ofdoing the same?

Connie Smith makes a return performance on ABC -TV's "Law-rence Welk Show" due for screening around March 1. Her agent,Jimmie Klein, will accompany the Victor sweetheart, this timeto discuss her career with Mr. Welk.

Encoring on the Grand Ole Opry is not unheard of, but itdoesn't happen with consistancy. Bobby Lewis sang his U.A.chart -climber, "How Long Has It Been," last Saturday night onthe show and was brought back for another line twice. ThenBobby received another call back on the Ernest Tubb MidnightJamboree following the Opry. Last week the native of Hodgen-ville, Ky. guested on the Porter Wagoner TV show, the NationalLife -sponsored Grand Old Opry TV show, the Bill Anderson TVeras well as Cris Lane's Chicago American Swing -Around. Follow-ing this, Haze Jones of Hal Smith Artists Productions has Bobbylined up for personals in Texas, Louisiana, Maryland, NorthCarolina, Illinois and Florida. Busy?

Perry

Bob Mitchum Records in NashvilleAnd actor Robert Mitchum got into town Wednesday, Jan. 18,

accompanied by his agent Bullets Durgom, to record an albumfor Fred Foster and Monument Records. The 50 -year -old Mitchumspent much of the week and week -end at the Foster SoundStudios on Seventh Avenue North here. His last visit to Tennes-see was to film a picture, "Thunder Road."

Newman Gains GroundNASHVILLE-Booked solidly

for the next six weeks, JimmyNewman will have plenty of op-portunities to promote his newDecca disk "We Lose A LittleGround." During this periodhis travels will take him toLouisiana, Texas, Arizona, Mis-sissippi, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indi-ana and into Canada for aweek's engagement.

Project 3 Party

Pictured at the recent party inNew York for the unveiling ofProject 3 Records' first album re-leases are, at top, center, labelchief Enoch Light and RecordWorld's Doug McClelland and MortHillman; and below, from left,Dave Seidman, Sales Manager,Metro Distribs, N. Y., Light and.Larry Finley.

Martin to DunhillTony Martin was signed to

an exclusive long-term contractby Dunhill Records, it was an-nounced by Jay Lasker, Vice -President of the recording or-ganization.

Book Review

Fine FollowupSidney Shemel and M. Wil-

liam Krasilovsky have writtena complementary volume totheir informative "This Busi-ness of Music," and the newone is called aptly "More AboutThis Business of Music" (Bill-board, $6.95).

The new tome, which treatsserious music, production andsale of printed music, back-ground music and transcrip-tion and tape cartridges, iscomprehensive and should beadded immediately to all musicbusiness libraries.

The Shemel-Krasilovsky duoleaves no aspect of their topicsunexplored. Recommended.

Baez -Capp Fracas

Over Comic StripVanguard's Joan Baez and

cartoonist Al Capp got into alittle fracas in the newspapersrecently when Miss Baezasked for a retraction fromCapp of implications of a new"Li'l Abner" character, a folk -singer named "Joanie Phoanie."

Capp's "Joanie" is depictedas a singer exploiting povertyto make a. quick buck and MissBaez took exception to thisknock at the intentions of Lib-erals.

At week's end, when word ofa law suit brought by MissBaez had cropped up, the folk -singer said, "I said I would askfor a retraction. I am not inter-ested in suing because I am in-terested in helping to end theconfusion and social violencethat do hurt to all of us. AlCapp contributed to this con-fusion and violence when heintroduced to his strip JoaniePhoanie."

Club Review

Diamond ShinesHOLLYWOOD - The Club

Hullabaloo, open only on week-ends and featuring local bands,brought in Bang artist NeilDiamond for 10 consecutivenights through the year-endholidays.

From the moment Neil walkedinto the spotlight, he had hiswork cut out for him. The nightwe caught him the thousand orso teenagers on hand seemedmore in the mood to dance thanto listen, crowding the floor infront of the stage. But Neil hadhis own bag. He not only sangfor them but also acted out thelyrics. By his third number,"Solitary Man," most teensstopped dancing to listen.

By now Neil was enjoying hiswork and completely capturedhis audience by sending themright back to the dance floorwith his rousing rendition of"La Bamba." Writer -singer Dia-mond continued selling hissongs with Elvis Presley -likeshowmanship through his"Cherry, Cherry" and "I GotThe Feeling," and wound up un-veiling a song that should provean instant shellac smash, "YouGot to Me."
