SINGLE PICKS OF THE WEEK

NOWHERE MAN

THE BEATLES

Capitol a \ Capitol 5587

Meaningful song about what happens to a fellow afraid to be himself. Flip's nice, too. Boys are still infallible nit - makers. "Nowhere Man" is going somewhere (Capitol 5587).

Mitch Ryder and the Wheels are riding off one hit and "Little Latin Lupe Lu" (New Voice 808) is in gear to go to the top. Watch it outsell the first.

TOO LITTLE TIME

BRENDA LFF

Brenda has latched onto an extremely pretty new ballad and she's going to sing it to the big time. "Too Little Time' is the title (Decca 31917).

SLEEPERS OF THE WEEK

KIT

00 SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF

BOBBY POWELL ns

Bobby's raunchy and bluesy de-

livery could equal and surpass his "C. C. Rider" click. "Do Something for Yourself" is going to do something (Whit 715).

This one could get O. V. way up the pop charts. It's got a

special arrangement and, of course, the usual strong O. V.

reading (Backbeat 558).

ALBUMS OF THE WEEK

NEIL SIMON CY COLEMAN

DOROTHY FIELDS

BOB FOSSE

The new Gwen Verdon musical with book music and lyrics by

Neil Simon, Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields, respectively, is

a box office smash and buyers will grab the album up. Lots of amiable tunes here (Columbia KOL 6500; KOS 2900).

The title is the selling point What else need be said? In- cluded are "Bits and Pieces,' "Over and Over," "Glad Al

Over" and the rest. The DC5

can always be counted on to create a sales storm (Epic LN

24185; BN 26185).

This seductive, saucy miss has

a "Boots" album that is made for walking up charts. Nancy's smash single is the reason tor this very well done first album (Reprise R/RS 6202).

Georgie Woods:

More Negro Entertainers Wanted by Viet Nam GIs

NEW YORK - Georgie Woods of WDAS-Philadelphia and only just back from a har- rowing but rewarding two-week trip to Viet Nam told Record World about some of his experiences last week.

He traveled as emcee on the Bobby Rydell show, the first show geared for the younger GIs, which consisted entirely of Bobby, Georgie, the Jimmy Wisner Trio (Jimmy, Frankie Day and Carl Mottola) and Go- go girls Sandra Brodsky and Judy Mannes.

Woods said that it was grati- fying to talk to the soldiers, all of whom were grateful to see the performers. One complaint Woods reported, however, was that "the boys feel the Negro performers are letting them down." He noted that to date few Negroes artists have gone to Viet Nam.

While there, Woods polled the fellows to find out whom they most wanted to see. The Su- premes and James Brown topped the long list.

Woods, who emceed all 30

shows-usually two a day- stressed the importance for all performers planning a trip to consider keeping their groups small to heighten easy mobility. Security is difficult to maintain for large groups and .trans- portation is difficult, he said.

The audiences the g r o u p played for ranged in size from 25 to 7.000 so they had to be ready for anything. They arrived at their performance areas by plane, helicopter and tank. (Woods sustained a minor in-

jury to his arm when he was thrown while he was in a tank.)

Everyone in the group talked to the soldiers and offered their assistance in taking messages home. In the case of Philadel- phia boys, Woods and Rydell, both from Philly, promised to deliver wishes personally.

Woods noted that morale is high among the soldiers and said the nervousness of the performers whenever they heard guns was a source of amusement for the GIs, who are able to distinguish between guns close by and far away.

London Into Tape Field London Records will enter the

tape cartridge market with the initial release due in April, according to Marty Wargo, chief of administration. The eight - track stereo tape cartridges will be marketed through a licensing arrangement signed last week with the Ampex Corporation.

The London catalog contains a wealth of pop material. Initial release will consist of 25 pack- ages. Such names as Montovani, Stanley Black, Frank Chacks- field, and Rolling Stones, Cater- ina Valente, Marianne Faithfull and Roland Shaw, among others, will be included. All will be

,packaged in a newly designed ontainer, featuring four-color over art. Distribution details nd prices will be announced hortly before the first release ate. The agreement for the Lon -

on cartridge tape program, egotiated by Wargo and E. P.

rmer, Ampex marketing ex- utive, calls for Ampex to

handle duplication on its own equipment.

aY° Published Weekly by Amerline Manufactures

INTRO PUBLISHING CO., INC. he Amerline Company will IIFIIIIIIüIIIlI11IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII)IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIII1111 manufacture the cartridge units.

Wargo said that London has watched the developments in the cartridge field for a number of months. The decision to enter the eight -track market now, he noted, is primarily due to recent decisions by the leading auto manufacturers to adopt the eight -track approach in their auto units. Ford has been pushing its own Motorola eight - track playback model, while Chrysler is employing an eight - track accessory unit. General Motors is also expected to adopt the eight -track approach.

Schaffer Tops Kapp Sales

NEW YORK - Sid Schaffer has been named Vice President in charge of Sales for Kapp Records, according to an announcement this week by firm's President, David Kapp.

Schaffer's new post is the highest ever accorded a sales executive within the Kapp organization and will give him complete control over all sales functions of both Kapp and its subsidiaries Congress and Four Corners.

Sid Schaffer

In addition, Schaffer is expected to function in the area of basic company policy decisions, along with President, Dave Kapp; Executive Vice President, Mickey Kapp; and Treasurer, Nat March. The new executive officially takes over his post Monday (21) .

Dave Kapp said: "Sid Schaf- fer has made a number of important contributions over the years to the business of selling records. His experience includes a most effective performance in sales at both distributor and manufacturer levels of the business and his accomplishments in building the success of War- ner Brothers and Reprise Rec- ords are well known."

(Continued on page 4)

Things 'Pop' at Vanguard There are a number of exciting things going on at Van-

guard Records these days that bespeak expansion. The most important is that the label is now going into the pop field with concentration.

Last week Jackie Washington's "Why Won't They Let Me Be" was released, and the disk is already getting air play on RIB stations.

The Vagrants, pop group making noise in New York boites, have been signed also and their first release should be out next week.

According to all indications, these announcements are just the first of a series to come from Vanguard.

Joan Baez with electric guitars? Perhaps, perhaps.

RECORD WORLD-February 26, 1966 3


Some Progress in Lefkowitz Check on Trade Practices

NEW YORK - Two important episodes-legislation and a hearing-last week marked progress in State Attorney Gen- eral Louis J. Lefkowitz' current campaign against fraudu- lent practices within the rec- cord business.

Early in the week two bills, formulated as a result of Lef- kowitz's December hearing on deceptive record practices, were introduced in the New York State Legislature.

One bill prohibits the un- authorized copying of phono- graph records for sale or profit. The Attorney General said that this measure not only will pro- tect the public but also the recording artists, many of whom never knew that their work had been copied and sold as genuine until the fraud was exposed by his office.

The other measure strikes a blow at the racketeers who "counterfeit" recordings, have them pressed in clandestine factories and then put them on the market. It would pro- vide that any person or firm that manufactures, presses or sells records must print on the album as well as the record itself the name and address of the manufacturer and presser.

The second bill also stipu- lates that use of the word

"stereo" or "stereophonic" is illegal unless the record is in- deed a stereo disk.

Each of the bills adds a new section to the penal law to make the offense a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or a jail sentence.

At Second Hearing The second notable event of

the week was a second hearing conducted by Lefkowitz and Assistant Stephen Mindell. At this meeting, Lefkowitz dis- cussed the results of the last hearing, explained the legislation moves and appointed a committee of tradesters to help the Attorney General's office with their project. At press - time the names of the members of this committee were not available, but it was assumed that manufacturers, artists, distributors, AGAC, R.I.A.A. et al would all be represented.

Prior to the hearing Sammy Davis, Connie Francis, Vincent Lopez, Brook Benton and Neil Sedaka had all indicated that they would be present to testify.

In his invitation to the hearing, Lefkowitz said, "While much useful information was elicited at our December hearing . . . I believe that many other problems deserve further exploration at another conference."

Charles Switch To Tangerine

NEW YORK -1n a joint announcement by Ray Charles and ABC -Paramount Records Presi- dent Larry Newton it was dis- closed late last week that the singer is switching from the ABC -Paramount to Tangerine Record Corp. However, this does not constitute a break between Charles and ABC -Par, since the latter organization dis- tributes Tangerine R e c or d s worldwide and the singer will still be in the ABC -Paramount family of labels.

In short, Charles, while con- tractually a Tangerine artist, will still be released on the ABC -Paramount label.

Charles explained that he feels the value of his name in the record field will give a boost to the roster of Tangerine artists currently recording for the label. These include Percy Mayfield, Louis Jordan, Bill & Sherrie, to name a few. The affiliation between Charles and Tangerine will do much to publicize the

Larry Newton, Ray Charles

firm and spread the Tangerine name throughout the world. Charles is internationally ac- claimed as one of the top entertainers in show business.

Newton said, "I'm happy that Ray will now have an opportunity to develop the Tangerine label to the fullest, and particularly pleased that ABC -Para- mount will distribute his records. We will of course, maintain our long and close association with Ray, and his activities and


Livingston To EMI Board

LONDON - Alan W. Living- ston, President of Capitol Rec- ords, Inc., (CRI), has been appointed a director of Elec- tric & Musical Industries, Ltd. (EMI), one of Britain's leading electronics firms and the world's largest recording organization.

The appointment was made at a meeting of the EMI Board in London on Jan. 27.

Alan Livingston

Announcement of Livingston's appointment was made by Sir Joseph Lockwood, EMI Chair- man of the Board, who stated:

"The EMI Board wishes to show its recognition of the splendid work Mr. Livingston has done for EMI, and also to welcome him as a colleague with his good experience and wisdom, which will be of considerable benefit to EMI on matters which do not only concern Capitol."

Accepting the appointment, Livingston became the second American ever to serve on the Board of Directors of EMI, a 67 -year -old company that main- tains facilities in nearly every country of the free world. The international firm, with 30,000 employees of more than 35 na- tionalities, purchased controlling interest in CRI in 1955. Glenn E. Wallichs, Capitol's founder and Chairman, is the only other American serving on the EMI Board.

Schaffer Sales (Continued front page 3)

Schaffer entered the record business with Capitol Records in 1947, serving first as branch manager in Newark and later as assistant sales manager in the firm's New York office. Eight years later, he joined Mercury Records where he worked first as a member of the sales staff and later as New York branch manager. Prior to joining Kapp, Schaffer had served for four years with Warner Brothers - Reprise as Eastern Sales Manager.

Schaffer is married and lives with his wife and daughter in Jamaica, Queens.

RCA Promotions (Continued front page 3)

Prior to that, he had served as a field salesman in Atlanta and New York and was for a time District Manager of Field Sales for New York and New England. He joined Victor in 1948 in production control, recording studios and subsequently moved to Sales Planning before going into the field. He holds a Bach- elor of Arts Degree in Manage- ment from Fordham University.

Clark, who will report to J. Y. Burgess, Jr., Division Vice President, Commercial Sales, joined RCA in 1953 as a salesman with the RCA Victor Dis- tributing Corp. in Detroit, he then joined the RCA Victor Record Division operating in the Midwest and later was active in Record Merchandiser Sales in the Atlanta and San Francisco markets prior to being named National Promotion Manager in New York.

For the past two and a half years, he has been Field Sales Representative in Philadelphia and adjacent markets. Clark is a resident of Haddonfield, N.J.

JEALOUS HEART

CONNIE FRANCIS-MGM E/ ES 4355.

Gal croons a collection of swingy sen- timental songs. Many of them were penned for teary movies of the '40s -'50s

nd caught the country's imaginations it that time. "Jealous Heart," "My Fool- sh Heart," "Everything I Have is

Yours," "If You Ever Get Lonely," etc. Will be a big attraction at counters.

I'LL REMEMBER YOU

ROGER WILLIAMS-Kapp KL 1370; KS 3470.

Romantic themes to woo lovers get the lush treatment from piano caresser Williams. The lovely Lara's Theme from "Dr. Zhivago" is here with "A Lover's Concerto," "Ebb Tide," "More," "I'll Remember You" and others of the silken ilk. For the love hours.

THE BATMAN THEME

THE MARKETTS-Warner Bros. W(S) 1642. Currently hot with their version of

the "Batman" theme, these fellows follow their bat craze and play a number of other driving instrumentals built around the new fad. Dick Glasser and Al Capps wrote most of the exciting bands and more single possibilities may be here.

MUSIC FOR BATMAN AND ROBIN

THE SPACEMEN-Roulette R/SR 25322. The music here is adventurous and

rousing and in the spirit of the current TV click. There is a lot of elec- tronic fooling around and plenty of shouting and carrying -on. Any one of these instrumentals is a good bet for a strong single. "Rocket Stream," "25th Century Rock," "Futurama" are all cuts teens and Batman alike will like.

W YOU CAN BELIEVE YOUR EYES AND EARS

THE MAMA'S AND PAPA'S-Dunhill D50006; DS50006.

A tubful of blues -oriented sounds by this click new group of kool kooks. Their "California Dreamin' " is the feature item, but they do raunchy versions of "Spanish Harlem," "The In Crowd" and "Do You Wanna Dance," too. New tunes also included. Will hit.

SHE'S JUST MY STYLE

GARY LEWIS AND THE PLAYBOYS- Liberty LRP 3435; LST 7435.

This will be teen style. Gary and his pals do their hit and a nice collection of recent top items. "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," "Heart Full of Soul," "Down in the Boondocks" and more in that teen -slant vein.

THE IN INSTRUMENTALS KAI WINDING-Verve VJV6 8639.

Kai proves that he knows how to keep up with the times by staying just a little ahead of them. What he has done here is collect some of the popular ditties of the day and push them through his horn till they were worn into something a little different- brassy and moving. Many another fine musician was also on the date.

UNIQUELY YOURS THE UNIQUES-Paula 2190 (m -s).

Guys make good contemporary dance sounds and so this album will be a welcome item at parties. Fellows do "You Ain't Tuff," "Midnight Hour," "Treat Her Right," "Georgia on my Mind" and other frug - jerk - monkey - dog rhythm numbers. The quintet is adept at their instrumental work and their yoking.

FEVER!

DOC SEVERINSEN-Command 893SD; RS 983SD.

A fast man with a trumpet and the songs make for fast company. "In a Little Spanish Town," "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever," "The Lady in Red," "Walk Right In," etc. These songs allow for varied moods and Doc takes the cue. Album will be heard from.

CALIENTE BRASS THE RALPH ROBLES OCTET-Audio Fidelity 6165.

The Latin sound with the '60s twist. The brass is tangy and flavorsome and the tunes will make dancers want to do it. The songs aren't too well known, but the beat is familiar. A good album for the party where the Spanish -based dance is done.

FEVER!. ,..7MsM.

FEELING GOOD

JEAN DUSHON-Cadet 4048 (m -s). A singer with tang here. Jean has a

pleasant collection of tunes and gives them a breezy once-over. "Wild is the Wind," "Out in the Cold Again," "Watching the World Go By" and others comprise the package ripe for air play and sales a -plenty.

EANDuSHON FEEI.IN G GOOD

LORD LOVE A DUCK

SOUNDTRACK-United Artists UAL 3137; 5137.

Neal Hefti is having a boom season. His "Batman" score is providing plenty of action around counters and this score for the teen -bawdy "Lord Love a Duck" is perky and impertinent. The Wild Ones sing the title tune and that will boost activity, too.

Levine Supervisor MGM Copyright Dept.

NEW YORK-Howard Levine was appointed Supervisor of MGM Records' Copyright De- partment, announces Mort L. Nasatir, President of MGM Records. He will report directly to Thomas F. White, Director of Administration.

Levine comes to his newly acquired position quite nat- urally. A ree -- o r d collector for nearly a quarter of a century, Levine was making a guest appearance on Joe

Franklin's radio program over station WNEW one Sunday afternoon in November, 1945, when he received a message to phone the late Jack Kapp. Kapp, the founder and first president of Decca Records was, as he put it "lying in bed listening to the radio" and Levine's obvious enthusiasm for his huge Bing Crosby record collection caught his fancy. Kapp invited the young collector to his office. introduced him to the files so he could obtain recording data, and promised him a personal intro- duction to Crosby which he latter fulfilled.

During the years that fol- lowed, Levine alternated his time between classes at New York University and visits to Decca. In 1949, Levine gradu- ated from NYU and shortly thereafter Jack Knapp passed away. Although Levine worked for several years as a draftsman, his interest in records never waned and in 1953 he went to work in Decca's Copyright De- partment.

Several years later he entered Decca's Recording Department where he worked as a research specialist for a decade.

tir, President of MGM Records, has announced the appointment of Phil Picone as Sales Manager for MGM Records' Budget Lines. He will report to Sol Green- berg, Director of Album Sales.

Picone, with a vast knowledge of the record business, particularly in sales, was east-

ern sales representative for Mercury Ree- f o r three years. He then joined Time Records as national sales manager f o r five years. He was instrumental in launch-

Monument Execs, Artists to London Mercury Sets HOLLYWOOD - Monument

Records President Fred Foster, accompanied by his Vice Presi- dent and Director of the recently -formed International Division, Bobby Weiss, planed to Europe the weekend of Feb. 18 for a series of discussions with various overseas representatives of the diskery. They stopped first in Zurich (19-20) for talks with Maurice Rosengarten of Musik- vertrieb regarding the new global regime for the Monument, Sound Stage 7 and LTD Inter- national labels of Foster's record empire.

Foster and Weiss then planed to London (20) for a week-long series of meetings with Sir Edward Lewis of Decca, the world-wide distribs of the various Monument catalogues. Dur- ing the London stay, they head- quarter at the Carlton Tower (21-28) , for their confabs with Sir Edward Lewis, Messrs. W. W. Townsley, G. Milne, S. A. Beecher -Stevens, T. Hall, H. Watson, etc., as various key foreign matters are reviewed with respect to the expansion plans of Monument abroad.

While in London, Foster will introduce, at a special press radio and TV reception, Monu-

ment artists Boots Randolph and Ray Stevens who are making the trek with Foster and Weiss, with key radio, TV interviews and performances being scheduled to create a special impact on the British record -buying public. Randolph and Stevens will key the promotion on their latest singles in E n gland- "Theme From a Dream" by Randolph, and "Party People" by Stevens.

At the end of this week (28), Foster, Randolph and Stevens will return to the U.S.A. and Weiss will embark on an exten- sive record distributor, music publisher and motion picture producer meeting schedule including Oslo, Stockholm, Copen- hagen, Hamburg, Berlin, Frank- furt, Munich, Zurich, Milan, Naples, Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and will wind jaunt with a final London visit, covering all points in a span of four weeks, before returning to his Hollywood - based International Headquarters.

Weiss will negotiate the estab- lishment of Monument -owned music firms for the Vintage, Music City Music and Combine companies during his visit, among his various activities.

At the group's initial meeting it probed the possibility of disk jockeys conducting their own Grammy nominations straw polls, with prizes being awarded to those listeners who come closest to the actual final results. These will be announced on March 15.

Another suggestion consisted of record companies preparing two kinds of album stickers: one indicating that the album had been picked as a Grammy nominee, and the other that it had actually been awarded a Grammy.

The importance of obtaining outstanding press coverage from the dailies and the weekly magazines was also stressed.

Finally, it was recommended that all radio stations be encour- aged to contact their nearest NARAS office to coordinate any promotions or to discuss plans regarding them with Academy officials.

Sadler's Gold RCA Victor Records an-

nounced last week that S/Sgt. Barry Sadler's single, "Ballad of the Green Berets" and album "Ballads of the Green Berets," were simultaneously certified by the R.I.A.A. for gold record awards.

Two New Posts NEW YORK - In an ever-

increasing effort to unearth new talent, discover marketable masters and keep the corporate finger on the pulsebeat of trends within the industry, Mercury Records has announced the creation of two new posts and a realignment of several field promotion personnel.

From New York, A&R VP Shelby Singleton announced the appointment of Joe Baltzell to the newly created position of promotion scout for the East Coast. Baltzell will travel in search of new talent for the label via out-of-town record hops, deejay recommendations, auditions and visits to dis- cotheques and Go -Go clubs in various areas. Baltzell will contact stations, promoting current releases in addition to his talent research functions.

Prior to this assignment he was with Merrec Distributors of Philadelphia since its incep- tion as Mercury's distributor in that area.

At the same time, West Coast A&R chief Doug Moody has tapped Frank Leffel to work in association with him. Leffel will oversee promotion while working with the A&R personnel on their product. He will continue to maintain close rapport with the many TV producers head - quartering in Hollywood and will serve as publicity liaison to the West Coast for the label.

Replacements Named

Replacements have been named for both Baltzell and Leffel who formerly handled Philips, Smash and Fontana promotion in their respective local areas. In Phila- delphia, Joe Campellone, former sales and promotion representative for Raymond Rosen Co., distributors, will assume Balt- zell's former role. Rudy Butter- field, last with Columbia Records will now handle promotion for the three Mercury affiliate labels in Los Angeles.

Other personnel changes include:

Dick White, associated with the Dallas Merrec distributor- ship for the past several years is leaving the record industry. His duties will be assumed by Bob Royal, formerly with KXOL Radio in Fort Worth.

Rick Lawrence will now handle Mercury promotion in Los Angeles, replacing Phil Sharif and in Cleveland Jay Eisenberg joins Merrec following the departure of Tommy Sgro. Marty Goldrod recently with C&C- Stone will now handle Smash, Fontana and Philips in San Francisco.

Big Atlantic Ad Campaign Atlantic-Atco is putting a

huge ad and promotion campaign behind its new February album releases. Advertising campaign encompasses national consumer magazines and news- papers, as well as local radio spot commercials. It is the most concentrated campaign ever launched by Atlantic-Atco for an entire release.

Jazz albums issued in Feb- ruary include Herbie Mann's "Today," Duke Pearson Nonet's "Honey Buns" and the Valerie Capers "Por- trait In Soul," all on Atlantic. Atlantic's pop LP releases are "Solid Gold Soul," with Solo- mon Burke, Don Covay, Ben E. King, Wilson Pickett, Otis Red- ding and Joe Tex, and "See - Saw" with Don Covay. The new Stax Records LP spotlights Carla Thomas with "Comfort Me." The single Atco LP for February is Nino Tempo and April Stevens' "Hey Baby."

Grand Smothers

The Smothers Brothers were the first record industryites ever invited to be grand mar- shalls of the parade at the annual Winter Carnival in St. Paul, Minn. Pictured above during the recent sub -zero weekend festivities are Mer- cury's Smothers on the review- ing stand in St. Paul Auditori- um, with King Boreas Rex George Rutman in white shako and his Prime Minister, Dan Dolan, in black shako, in the background.

Time as national promotion director, a position he held for five years, responsible for such hits as "I've Had It" by the Dellnotes and "Darling Lor- raine" by the Knockouts. He played a major role in producing Time Records' successful Sound Line Series.

In addition to handling A & R activities for the MGM budget labels, he will assist Tom Wilson in the pop and folk recording areas.

Taking Care of Business

BY DEL SHIELDS

Got My Mojo Working, Too

I, for one did not believe him when he confided to me some months ago that he planned to record an album singing the old blues classic, "Got My Mojo Working." Knowing him as well as I do, I never should have brushed him aside with "You got to be kidding."

Finally, I heard that he really had gone ahead with his plans and recorded.

Still in disbelief, I awaited the release of the album. I wanted to hear for myself if Jimmy Smith really decided to sing. Well, the news is out. This latest LP of Jimmy Smith, "the incredible one," should stretch across the country and feed the hungry musical souls of those who really care.

It's not going to be easy to classify this album. It bridges the classifications we use so conveniently to describe our varied music tastes. One man's opinion is not really important when it comes to music. But if you can accept the feelings of a true fan, don't bypass this choice offering.

It's going to knock you out. Simply, it is an album that is going to tell all the world that jazz is the real boss of soul. Jimmy takes us back to the gritty, where it all began.

It seems that in our struggle to become sophisticated and ac- cepted members of this society that somewhere along the line the practitioners of the jazz arts forgot about the roots.

It's odd that the Beatles and all their many imitators had to remind us where it started. The very gift we have been steadily trying to purify, distill and reject is at last coming back home.

We're not overlooking other jazz musicians who, too, have been busy giving us the word. But in this analogy, we are

aware of the broad and expan- sive audience Jimmy has. And with all of the success he has reaped over the past years, he has always kept his roots in his music.

Soul has become such a catch-all phrase that even people in the Poverty Program in Washington are asking if the program for the poor has soul. But I think we should begin talking about going to the roots. For that's where Jimmy is in his new Verve release,

"Got My Mojo Working." He did not stop with "Mojo." He stayed in his bag and created the most down version of "High Heel Sneakers" we've heard.

If you recall how dear your sneakers were in the summer time, when Mom had to prac- tically cut them off your feet and demand that you throw them away, then you'll miss the boat. But these sneakers are ... well, you must listen.

One last exciting cut is the Len Barry hit, "1-2-3." Oh, yes, if the music is good, a jazz musician can give an in-depth interpretation and this is why we applauded the efforts of Jimmy. For "1-2-3" in his skilled hands becomes a simply, beautiful, melodic and warm composition. Jimmy squeezes, teases, coddles and temptingly makes the tune his personal property.

"Got My Mojo Working" is a classic and this is difficult to say in view of the many hit albums Jimmy has had. But we thank you JOS for reminding us there is nothing wrong with going back to the roots. In ef- fect, it's a beautiful home- coming.

* * *

Speaking of homecomings, there is a hip package on the way to the jazz fans and the jocks who like their music live. Billy Eckstine, Oscar Peterson, Maynard Ferguson and Nipsy Russell will be in concert on March 4 at Carnegie Hall; March 5 in Pittsburgh and March 6 at the Academy in Philadelphia. Duke Ellington and his band will replace Fer- guson and will play with the package on March 18 in Boston at the Symphony Hall; March 19 in Newark and close the tour on March 20 at the Sheraton Park Hotel in Washington.

Catron Back From Europe With Song and Story

NEW YORK - Stan Catron, South Mountain pubbery head, returned from Europe last week and had a few things to talk about. First off, he'd picked up American rights to one of the San Remo songs, "Quando Vado Sulla Riva," and expects to have an English lyric added shortly (more on this later).

On the way back from the festival, Catron stopped over in England and signed a deal to acquire the American publishing rights to the score for "Study in Terror," a new Sherlock Holmes film. Don Costa will be doing an instrumental version of the title theme.

Catron feels that movie scores are becoming increas- ingly important because of the accelerated TV usage.

While in San Remo, Catron met with a number of foreign publishers and was extremely impressed with their knowledge - ability about the American. market and in fact all markets.

"They're brilliant men," Catron said. "They know every song, every artist, every label. They set quite an example."

Catron was especially impressed by the camaraderie and exciting competition among all the publishers who congregated at the San Remo Festival as much to see each other as to hype the songs they had in competition.

Complicated Plans For "Quando Vado Sulla

Riva," Catron's SR song, plans are complicated. Aberbach house has the English publishing rights and so the two pubberies will have to coordinate their moves before going ahead.

A last observation Catron made on the foreign scene is that material is in short supply. "All the publishers are crying the blues," he said. "And after all, the song is the most important thing. It always was and always will be."-Dave Finkle.

Stuarti Prize Song Epic Records has announced

the rush release of a new single by Enzo Stuarti, titled "Dio, come ti amo!" (God, how much I love you!). Tune was awarded first prize at the recently held San Remo Festival.

`Walking' Travels HOLLYWOOD-RCA Victor

in Canada has snapped up the lease rights for that country for Jerry Palmer's Gaiety recording of "Walking the Dog." World rights to the master were granted Decca Records, Ltd., in England. W&G gets the Aus- tralian rights.

One of the delightful things about the package is that all of the music artists are enjoying good play from current records and should receive a great deal of exposure from the jocks.

For the past two years, this writer has served on the Ad- visory Board of the Villanova Jazz Festival held at the Penn- sylvania College. During its six years, it has emerged as one of the most successful and best produced collegiate offerings.

Now Gov. William Scranton has designated the week of Feb. 20 "Jazz Week" in Pennsyl- vania, in honor of the Sixth An- nual Villanova University In- tercollegiate Jazz Festival, held on Friday and Saturday of that week.

Lollipop Music

Gets Winning Tune NEW YORK - Ed Miller of

Lollipop Music returned from Spain recently after securing the American and Canadian publishing rights to "Min Les Tipota," the winner of the Mediterranean Song Festival. The three-day song competition, run along similar lines to the San Remo event, was held in Barcelona last September.

"Min Les Tipota" was written by Franzeska Iakovidou and Andre Oeconomou. It was presented at the festival by Greek artists Zoi Kurukli and Niki Camba, who were judged best fern vocalists. Singers and composers from several countries, including Spain, France, Italy and Greece, were participants.

"Min Les Tipota" was de- clared the winning tune in a vote which was taken at 3 a.m. by a panel of international judges after it had been tied previously with another song written by Pino Dinaggio and Sciama Maria.

Miller also snared the rights to "Mine," another Greek entry, which was among the songs in the final balloting, and to "Ias- sou Opa Opa Iassou," not in contention. The rights to the above songs were acquired from Canciones Del Mundo, a leading Madrid publishing house. Miller will assign various staff writers the task of fitting English lyrics to the songs.

. WHERE IT'S AT BY KAL RUDMAN

Still Needed: A More Businesslike

Approach from Promo Men

We received a fascinating letter from Bob "The Cat" Round - tree, an extremely important deejay in an extremely important sales market, Winston-Salem, N. C.

He says, in part: "Your Feb. 12 column had a paragraph about the 'New Breed' jockeys with unlisted phones. I'm not a 'new breed,' I've been in radio for 14 years, but I've gone through what some of the 'Old' and 'New Breed' have gone through. There are a few promotors who will call with, shall we say, indelicate salutations? They don't call the Top 40

stations and do that. Remember, you represent a business, so act like a businessman. That's a good way to get your records into the wastebasket.

"Then, some of the young 'New Breed' promotion men call and say, `Baby, help me with this one' and then as soon as we South- ern deejays break the record we read in your column that all the credit goes to Detroit, Chicago, Philly, Baltimore and New York.

You do this to stay sweet with the Northern jocks, but the South is not to be played cheap or dumb."

(I assume here that Bob feels that the promo men credit the Northern deejays with breaking the record and I report it that way.)

Bob went on: "Finally, you 'new breed' promo men call and say, 'Baby, Chicago came in for 18,000 and so did Detroit and Philly, etc.' This is a fact, I've called some of those deejays, and they are not even playing the record, and some never heard of the record. Let's have it understood: The 'Old Breed' pro- moters are gentlemen and some of the 'New Breed,' too, but it's that other d---- bunch with no respect. So, Mr. Rudman, here's your answer to your paragraph on the 'New Breed.' "

In the second issue of NARA News, NARA salutes Georgie Woods of WDAS, Philadelphia and WPHL-TV. Executive Board member Georgie just returned from a trip to Viet Nam to entertain G.I.'s. He has a long history of humane efforts. He is First Vice President of the Philadelphia branch of the NAACP; organized and headed the first self-help project for kids in Philadelphia; his Freedom Shows held annually have grossed more than $50,000 with ALL proceeds going to charities of all religions. He led the Philadelphia March To Washington and he marched in Selma. NARA says: Good Luck Georgie. We say, Amen!

Les Anderson at WABQ, Cleveland, reports that the "Soup and Onions" LP by soul -brother (age 19) Roy Meriwether is over 20,000 there. Wow! ... The two biggest R&B giants in the nation are Wilson Pickett and Isley Brothers ... As I pre- dicted when the record was released, the power side R&B of the Supremes is "Everything's Good About You" and it's an unbelievably great record . . . Other solid, definite hits include: "Dear Lover," Mary Wells; Marvin Gaye; "Please Don't Hurt Me," Chuck & Maxine; Desiree," Charts (good show, Pete Garris!), Gene Chandler (great record). In Cleveland and Chicago, there's hit sales on "Why Am I Treated So Bad," Staple Singers, Okeh!

Mr. F. M. Scott National President NARAS 1741 Ivar Avenue Hollywood, California Dear Mr. Scott:

There is a glaring dispropor- tion in your categories this year:

You have six categories for Country & Western, and only one for Rhythm & Blues.

The rationale escapes me. I yield to no one in my ad-

miration for Country & Western music. It has inestimable value, both commercial and aesthetic and its place in the American cultural scene is beyond measure.

The same certainly can be said of Rhythm & Blues. It is not my notion to set up a dich- otomy and to pit the worth of Rhythm & Blues against that of Country & Western music. How- ever, a Rhythm & Blues hit is known to sell in the hundreds of thousands. The influence of Rhythm & Blues in the pop

Wexler on NARAS R & B Omissions The following letter was mailed last week:

music scene is not to be denied. Rhythm & Blues is basic, and is certainly the strongest precursor of Rock & Roll and contemporary Top 40 music of all the influences in our business today.

However, industry slighting of Rhythm & Blues is not new. It is relegated to a back page in some of our trade papers. While buildings and monuments reach skyward to honor Country & Western music, we know of no such edifice nor any attempt to erect one in the Rhythm &

Blues world. However, that is not the con-

cern of NARAS. Knowing that the NARAS board consists of some of the most rational and decent human beings in our business, one is to wonder at the nature of the pressure to which they obviously succumbed when they subscribed to this weird alignment of categories.

Gerald Wexler Executive Vice President &

General Manager Atlantic Recording Corp.

"Try My Method," Jackie Lee, Mira, broke in Cleveland . . . "I Want You," Mad Lads, Stax, owns Philadelphia and Memphis . . . San Francisco broke "Can't Get No Satisfaction" out of the Otis Redding LP and it should be a giant single now.

Ken Reeth, P.D. of WAMO, Pittsburgh is convinced that the Magnificent Montague of KGFJ, L.A., is one of the most subtle, potent producers in R&B. He is picking M.M.'s "Mucho Soul," Romeos, on Loma and expects to break it fast.

Larry Uttal is thrilled that "No Man Is An Island," Van Dykes, broke wide open. It hit No. 1 in Washington.

The kiss of death for a name R&B singer is when he de-

cides he's going to get some of that juicy publishing money end annuity, and stops thinking about his songs . . . Jimmy Bishop climbed the walls and slunk on the floor like a serpent when he read the purported analysis of the effectiveness of breaking records in the Philadelphia R&B market in another trade. I like in Philly and I can tell YOU now that WDAS has a 7 -to -1 listener ratio over the other pure R&B station. As a

matter of reality, the true No. 2 R&B station in Philadelphia (because of its policy of playing R&B records) is the only pop

outlet, WIBG. I cannot remain quiet when such a gross in- justice is printed as fact! Jimmy and Georgie Woods added up to 83%, but WDAS was only rated 54%, and the headline said "photo finish"! How can you separate the station from the key deejays? The whole thing added up to way over 100%. How do you do that? WDAS has never been stronger. The Pulse for the Negro market in Jimmy's time is 43 to 22

for WIBG to 10. O.K.? HITS TO BE: "Do Something For Yourself," Bobby Powell;

"Try My Method," Jackie Lee; "The Love You Save," Joe Tex; "Late Late Show," Don Covay; "Don't Lose Your Cool,"

KAL RUDMAN'S

Money Music Hy Lit's prediction came true and he obviously does have good

sources of information, because the new Beatles is "Nowhere Man" ... ARE YOU READY FOR THIi i DEPARTMENT: The "Soup and Onions" LP on Columbia by 19 -year -old Roy Meri- wether is over 20,000 sold in Cleveland and is a giant in Phila- delphia. I wonder how many stations in Top 40 are playing the We song single? Try it during adult prime time and stand back

for the reaction. That's a TIP! . . . Mary Bachrad of WNAR, Norristown -Philadelphia, tips us about, "I'm Looking For a World," Sue Thompson, Hickory. It is a fine ballad, and Joe Lucas and Lester Rose are running. The Newbeats is moving up fast for these nice Nashville folk.

I happen to think that "What Did I Have That I Don't Have Now" as done by Eydie Gormé is as classy a torch song as I've heard in a decade. It's from "On a Clear Day, etc." She has never cut a better record. Eydie is at her best, as is Steve, when they do songs that require a vast depth of feeling (like "Soul"), and they could start a whole new thing by cutting R&B ballads and blues. Who else can do it?

"Ballad of the Green Berets" is the Champ . . . Mamas and Papas should be the big hot new group of the year . . . Simon and Garfunkel are red hot ... The Turtles show the continued power of the West Coast in making hits ... Pete Garris comes up smelling like a rose, with B. J. Thomas which is the giant he said it would be from the beginning. The new Dionne Warwick is Bacharaoh-David's "Message to Michael" ... Sonny & Cher and Ahmet Ertegun can laugh at the grave diggers as they hit Top 10 in Seattle, Cleveland, and Buffalo and Cincinnati and San Jose and Rochester and cry all the way to the bank ... The Sir Doug- las also fooled a lot of doubters by hitting the top in San An- tonio and Houston and Dallas and is big in Memphis and Norfolk and is spreading fast.

"Love Makes the World Go Round," Deon Jackson, is such a brilliant, happy arrangement and tuff enuff a song that 011ie McLaughlin need have no fear of rejection of by the pop world. It went away up with Paul Drew in Atlanta and the sales are sen- sational ... "Walkin' My Cat," Norma Tanega, adds to the wealth of Bob Crewe. Boy is Amy hot! ... Pozo Seco has been out on

Lorne Greene: Accent's on Words NEW YORK - Lorne Greene

and RCA Victor brass, currently clicking with Lorne's "Five Card Stud" single, got together for the first time in a long while a week or so ago and the occasion turned into a big press party at Danny's Hideaway.

During the course of the festivities Lorne hid away with press and talked about his aims as a recording artist. He said he's interested in doing something in all areas of entertain- ment with the accent on the spoken word. He defines "enter- tainment" as the ability to en- gage the mind and move the emotions at the same time. And he feels that records are one place where this can be done best.

With that in mind, he plans more story telling disks like his "Ringo" (since its initial success in English, it has been al- most as successful in French translations, etc.) and "Five Card Stud." He also plans spoken word singles of more serious intent.

In fact, he said most of his

Norman Racusin, RCA Div. VP and Operations Manager, Lorne Greene, Joseph E. D'Imperio, Division VP, Product and Tal- ent Development, and Harry Jenkins, Div. VP, Marketing.

future work for RCA would be "thought provoking" in variety. Whether or not it will be thought provoking, a Greene package of re -worked contemporary tunes is in the works.

The most important requisite in selecting material, Greene said, is that he be able to "see the song." Evidently that's what he stresses before he places any songs in the pubberies he co -runs with Al Gal- lico.

the street forever, but it's IN ... Dean Martin, Ronnie Dove and Al Martino have the swingin' adults all locked up, and that's where the GOLD really is. Add one Roger Miller and one Eddy Arnold to that club.

We broke some bread with Russ ("Double Sinceres") Regan who is ecstatic because he wrote the Freddy Cannon smash. At the time he was upset about not having his own West Coast on the record, so I put Russ on his broomstick to fly back to L.A. to check out his reluctant L.A. deejay buddies. Those East Coast "whoops" of Freddie's must not sound California enough or something. Play the HITS! WHOOPS!

Bobby Goldsboro broke Top 10 at WKNR and CKLW. Hi, Scott Regen, want some Nathan's hot dogs and knishes? . . . Bertha Porter broke both sides of the Perlean Gray at WDRC and picked "Ya Ya," Mike & Ike, Arctic. Listen, Mack, I always did say Bertha is the greatest and hippest and SHE is MY leader and I dig her as much as you do, Mack Clark and, well! But write again soon about our favorite subject in Hartford.

"Keep On Running," Spencer Davis, Atco, is selling for Jerry Wexler and what a sigh of relief. He worked! ... "Up and Down," McCoys, Bang, going big in Chicago, Boston, Washington, Phila- delphia, Buffalo, Tampa and where records are sold . . . "Think About Me," Gaylan Ladd, MGM, a giant in Houston and con- firmed in Sacramento. Anyone want to try a hit that will go with adults, kids, country, pop? ... "You Bring Me Down," Royalettes, running up good sales to make Harold Bergman's reveries complete.

Regional Action "You Ain't Tuff," Uniques, Paula, is a Dallas giant, as is "Pub-

lic Execution," Mouse. So do SOMETHING! ... Martha & Van- dellas going well in Philadelphia, L.A., Detroit, S.F., Baltimore - Washington and where it gets some pop play ... "Georgia On My Mind," Righteous Brothers, selling well in San Bernardino, Tulsa, Memphis, Birmingham, N.Y., Washington and where played . . .

Wilson Pickett's "634-5789" will be a big pop record, bigger than "Midnight Hour" which was great . . . Slim Harpo is Top 5 in

cez IMwDcN BY ALAN FREEMAN

Alan Freeman

Let me say, initially, FRUS- TRATION . . . FRUSTRATION

. . FRUSTRATION! Why is it that every week as I

sit here at my desk, I survey piles and piles of papers, magazines and unanswered fan mail, tell myself that next week everything will be in order, yet sit here again this day and find the mess nastier and more massive? At the moment, I've called in the painters and decorators to give my apartment that new spring -summer look; so, deciding to get away from it all, I gath- ered up typewriter, paper, all the files, hopped into the car and headed for the suburb of Batter-

sea where I knew I could find quiet and peace aboard the house- boat on the Thames.

Now, like most people, I do occasionally have the habit of for- getting things, and after spending something like 90 minutes in the traffic jams of Park Lane, Hyde Park and Chelsea, I walked clown the gangplank, took out my keys, inserted one in the lock, turned it, pushed at the door and . . . NOTHING! Funny, I thought to myself, and on closer examination, noticed that another little hole had been bored in the door, and then it struck home! I'd had another lock put on the door for extra precaution. But as to where I'd put the key, you know as much as I.

Well, the seagulls had a little laugh. The church bell rang very much in similar style to the gong that tells you that the referee has counted 10, and that as you're still laying there you've lost! As I walked back up the gangplank, several little pieces of paper fell from one of the files, floated down into the Thames and auto- matically became what I think is commercially known as either 'surface" or "sea" mail!

Back through the traffic jams, through the front door into the lounge room where by now has been installed a replica of the Empire State Building in skeleton form, and what a time the painters and decorators have been having. There's paint every- where! On the carpets, on the grand piano, on the standard lamps, and reluctant to break up what sounds like Sonny and Cher singing "The Hallelujah Chorus," I cease my visitor's spring cleaning with music operation and told them that I'd rather they painted the grand piano and carpets when they came back on ground level. As they were some 30 feet in the air on a scaffolding erected for the purpose of painting ceiling and high walls, why the .. .

wasn't there any paint on the WALLS AND CEILING! They an- swered me with words that were carefully chosen, delivered in articulate English and absolutely unprintable! When I felt they were about to descend, dismantle the scaffolding and throw a bucket of white emulsion paint over my head, I smiled and said "Would you like some coffee?" They drank it, peace had been de- clared and off went the brushes again. And the paint? It slowly ran down the wall to add new colorful effects to the central heat- ing system!

Talk about "19th Nervous Breakdown," and everyone is because the Rolling Stones look as though it's No. 1 next week and for many weeks to come. That's providing, of course, they can edge out a certain Nancy Sinatra who's got a firm hold on No. 1

at the moment with "These Boots Are Made for Walking." Lower down the list, there's a new register for P. J. Proby's "You've Come Back," and since your Eddy Arnold came over here to Lon- don, there's been reaction and a place in the charts for "Make the World Go Away." The one that I'm happy to see climb towards the Top 20 is Lee Dorsey's "Get Out of My Life Woman" .. .

Petula Clark's on the way to another big one as she has with you called "My Love" (I thought that perhaps the lyric was a little too ordinary for a big hit, but I was wrong) ; and I hope you come

RCA Summer TV Takeover TV Review

Stars Frankie Randall 'Anatomy of Pop' in Good Shape BY DAVE FINKLE

NEW YORK - RCA Victor should experience some boosted singles and album activity on two of the roster singers this summer when these two turn up as summer replacement hosts.

One is John Gary, who will take over the Danny Kaye hour. The other is Frankie Randall, who has just signed to replace Dean Martin when he takes his vacation from prime time drinking.

Frankie talked to Record World last week about this lat-

est signing just as he was winding a successful s tint at the Copa. He infoed that he leaves al- most immedi- ately for the Coast where he will begin to tape the 12

shows. The taping will take him through April and then RCA will peruse the tracks and probably cull a dozen tunes-one from each show-for an album titled whatever the summer show is called (no title has been set as yet).

Playing More Piano Frankie, known in the In

Crowd as quite a pianist, will probably be playing more piano

on TV than he has been in recent night club stints because, he feels, the night club set-up makes it difficult for an artist to sustain interest if he moves away from center stage to sit in at the piano.

Just as Frankie leaves for the Coast, his latest single will be released-a particularly in- teresting single in Randall dis- cography. It's called "I Couldn't Care Less" and it's the first tune Frankie has ever written.

"We were looking for a song for a date and I knew exactly what kind of straight ballad I wanted. So I wrote it myself and it turned out pretty good. I wouldn't say that this means I'm about to become a song writer, however. I always think everybody writes better than I do. This song was kind of a matter of necessity," Frankie admitted.

Avoids the Ultra -Hip On a Randall recording date,

an extremely important element is the arrangement. "I've learned that I'm just as good as what's going on behind me. One thing I try to avoid is the ultra -hip tune. Musicians might like it, but musicians aren't the public. If it's ultra -hip, I'll have nothing to do with it."

And so, about his booming career, Randall couldn't care more.

Club Review

Supremes Please Copa Crowds

NEW YORK-The Supremes returned to the Copa last week and once again showed them- selves to be the Three Graces, 1966 -style. They sing and move hypnotically and shift with ease (most of the time) from their rock and roll hits to old standards. (One note: The awkward spoken interlude in "Somewhere" could easily go.)

Lead Diana Ross is a stun- ning girl with a natural quality the night club circuit could use more of. Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson are the best of supporters. They both have perfected distinct personalities (Mary sexy; Florence brassy) that give added facets to the act.

A new number "Fancy Passes" is a delight and the rest of the act, familiar from last time out, is highly polished still.-Dave Finkle

American popular music received one of its most signifi- cant visual explorations last week when ABC-TV presented "Anatomy of Pop: The Music Explosion," which undertook, with notable success, to show where today's sounds have their roots.

Stephen Fleischman wrote, produced and directed (the latter chore with Jonathan Don- ald), and did himself proud with a program that was more than just a string of variety acts brought on to stretch the hour. Fleischman provided insights into the Detroit Sound, the Nashville sound, the British sound, etc., with a particularly graphic visual flair. We saw the Supremes, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Dave Clark 5, Earl Scruggs,

Waylon Jennings, Jim and Jesse, Skeeter Davis, Bill MOnroe, Tex Ritter, Benny Goodman, Richard Rodgers, Tony Bennett and many others, all to a purpose.

Highlight of the fast -paced show was the Bourbon Street beat in New Orleans (where so much of today's music started) as the cameras visited Preservation Hall for an old- time jazz session, plus appearances by the Eureka Marching Band and singer Billie Pierce.

Duke Ellington offered one of the more provocative comments: "Why categorize music? It's either good or it's not."

"Anatomy of Pop" was good; and Fleischman's future shows -on what ever subject-will bear watching, too.

Top Names In Murray's TV Special Murray the K is all set for

his "All -Star Special" which will be telecast on WNEW-TV Feb. 22 at 7:30-9:30 p.m. and repeated on Feb. 27 at 8-10:00 p.m., presenting some of rec- ordom's biggest names-with an emphasis on groupdom.

The roster of musical stars whom Murray has selected includes the Four Seasons; Jay And the Americans; the Four Tops; the Ramsey Lewis Trio; the Shangri-Las; Anthony and the Imperials; Joe Tex; and the Byrds.

Murray has chosen these groups with the specific objec- tive of giving his audience an earful of the different segments of today's popular music. Ac- cording to Murray, "these groups are the top performers in their categories and all of them play some of the current hit records which they have created."

In addition to the performers featured, Murray the K will feature five girls : Karen Smith, Kathy Carr, Joyce Richardson, Patty Michaels and Joyce Hainsley, who form Murray's Dancers. They will do most of the modern dances and, at one point, will be backed by a group of children from the Lenox Hill Neighborhood Association and the Professional Children's School, doing everything from the Big Apple to the Boston Monkey and the Frug, in which Murray joins.

Biff Collie's

They All Laughed - But Not Last They laughed when I sat down to play because it was country

music. Now they've joined me and they say: "I always said you had the right answer. That country music's got it!"

Welcome to the marvelous, melodic, meaningful, musical and monetary world of country music! It's nice to have 300 -plus radio stations in the United States and Canada who are all -country music broadcasters. lt's great to have another 400 who program six hours a day or more, and another 500 who program three or more hours country each day. We in country music take pride in the company we keep.

Some call it "modern" country, some "big" country, "town &

country" (if you'll pardon the expression, Connie) "the new pop music," but all who program it wisely and professionally call it a "money maker." The age-old country -policy change was decided with a "Might as well try it, we've failed everything else," but not anymore. Every week we've got new, serious members of the country music radio fan club, simply because it's the smart, practical, moneymaking thing to do.

The country music radio revolution began when strength -in - numbers added Cal Young's WENO, WGUS and WYAM, Jack Beaseley's KLPR and two others (now a full-time country music TV), A. V. Bamford's KBER and KOQT (others he put on the air included KHAT, KVOP, KEVE) Mack Sander's KSIR and K000, Carl Brenner's WBMD, George Crump's WQMS, Governor Burroughs' KRZY, KRZE, KRSY, KENM, KMUL, Dave Stone's KDAV, KPEP, KPIK, KZIP and others I'm ashamed not to remember.

Recent years have added KFOX, KCUL, KRAK, KAYO, KSON, WQIK, KPCN, WKTC, WBRG, KSTL, KCTR, KPUB, KATN, KLAK, KWKY, WEXL, WTMT, KHEM, KHEY, WHIY, WCNW, WIVK, WKMF, WEEP, and others I'm sorry I can't remember. We're proud to add to our rolls fulltime the likes of KGBS, Los Angeles, 50,000 (Storer), WPLO, Atlanta, and WJJD, Chicago (Plough), WWVA, Wheeling (50,000), KMOR, Salt Lake City (5,000), WOAH, Miami (10,000), WTHE, Garden City, Long Island (N.Y.C.), WJRZ, Newark (N.Y.C.) and others joining us every day. These are the powerhouses who have led the way recently, recognizing not a "need" but a demand for country music programming. To all these we tip our hat for the strength they've added to the stock and power of country broadcasting.

The big praise, however, must go to those who once stood alone in their belief and conviction that country music radio was an irreplaceable and vital working part of the modern American radio scene. The early ones we've mentioned and those names we didn't have at our fingertips: these are the ones who "blazed the way" from "Plum -Nelly, USA" to Madijson Avenue and have given our current entries in country music radio the background, reference, the sales story, the proof of ',the puddin' and the inspiration to get into a radio revolution with every opportunity to succeed.

These, and the most powerful and driving force that any contemporary trade group has: The Country Music Association. This great organization stands ready to assist any station, group or individual who needs ammunition to sell country music at any level, in any area. CMA boasts 93 organizational memberships, which includes 43 radio stations, and some 2,000 individual memberships.

Don Gibson Honored For CIA/ Music Contributions KNOXVILLE, TENN.-Don

Gibson enjoyed the outstanding triumph of his career when he was presented with a series of major awards here Saturday evening (5). The awards, which took due note of Gibson's major contributions as singer - songwriter to country music, were made in conjunction with his appearance as the headliner on WIVK Radio's "Country Shindig #5" all-star country music show at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum.

Making his first public appearance in his home town in six years, Gibson headed a bill which packed the 7,200 seat auditorium despite stiff competition the same night from a Tennessee -Florida basketball game. Spokesmen for WIVK said the show was the most successful ever staged in East Tennessee, setting a new alltime paid attendance record at the Coliseum.

Heading the list of award - givers was Robert Clement, son of Tennessee Governor Frank G. Clement, who presented Gib- son, on behalf of the Governor, with a certificate of achieve- ment from the State of Ten- nessee. John Murrian, admin- istrative assistant to the mayor of Knoxville, presented Gibson with the keys to the city, while station president and general manager, James A. Dick be- stowed on Gibson the WIVK "Town 'N Country Award." Engraved on the handsome

Pearl Strikes Gold

Minnie Pearl, veteran Grand Ole Opry comedienne, has her first single record out on Star - day, and it looks like a hit: "The Giddyup Go Answer," in response to Red Sovine's country click. Above trio, from left, is comprised by Starday prexy Don Pierce, Cousin Minnie and A&R chief Tommy Hill.

plaque were the words, "Pre- sented to Don Gibson for his outstanding achievements in the music America loves best."

Wesley Rose Read Tribute Wesley Rose, President of

Acuff -Rose Artists Corporation, Gibson's agency and Acuff -Rose Publications, the firm which publishes his songs, was also on hand to read a letter from Chet Atkin s, Nashville operations manager for RCA Victor, Gib - son's record company.

Rose than introduced Hank Snow, Gibson's fellow RCA Vic- tor artist. Snow, on behalf of Atkins, who was grounded in Nashville by illness, presented Gibson with an imported Span- ish guitar, autographed by all members of the show that evening. These included Loretta Lynn, Merle Travis, Jean Shep- ard, Jimmy C. Newman, Justin Tubb, Jimmy Martin and his Band, Stan Hitchcock, Ricky Sells, Jeff Simmons, the WIVK Country Kings and the WIVK Cowboys.

Gibson, incidentally, will make his third appearance within four months on the Jimmy Dean ABC-TV network show Feb. 25.

R&B Beat (Continued from page 23)

Albert Collins; "Ain't Tha a Groove," James Brown; "You're Welcome To My Heart," Chantells; "Get Ready," Tempta- tions; "I'll Run Your Heart Away," Ruby Johnson, Stax; "Mucho Soul," Romeos, Loma.

Al Jefferson and Paul Johnson tell me that the "B" side of the Martha & Vandellas "Never, Never Leave Your Baby's Side" is happening big. His mind blew on "Got My Mojo Working" from the Jimmy Smith Verve LP. It runs seven minutes and blew Al Jefferson off the air. Baltimore can't take it. Paul feels that more R&B cats should be on "Georgia On My Mind," Righteous Brothers, Moonglow, for Jerry Wex- ler. Paul reports the Carter Brothers as a blues hit and so is, "I Had a Dream," Johnny Taylor. Paul likes: Rouzan Sis- ters; Jaye W. King; James Carr; Souljers; Roger Pace . . .

The staff at WWIN consists of all successful program directors: Larry Dean; Paul Johnson; Kelson Fisher; and now Assistont P.D. of WWIN, Al Jefferson. Wow!

Hits with Burke Johnson, WAOK, Atlanta, include: Bobby Moore; Elgins; Mar -Keys; Jamo Thomas; Patti LaBelle . . .

Fat Daddy reports the top cuts in the Howlin' Wolf LP are: "300 Lbs. of Joy"; "Built For Comfort"; "Natchez Burning." Top Cut in Carla Thomas LP: "Another Night Without My Man."

Big B.O. in Baltimore is "Searching For My Baby," Bobby Moore and Jamo Thomas. "Get Ready," Temptations, is busted . . . Ernie Durham in Detroit reports hit action on "I Had A Dream," Johnny Taylor; Van Dykes; Temptations; 4 Tops; Isley Brothers; Wilson Pickett.

Al Jefferson sez, "Jerry W. should wake up about '3 Tickets to Georgia,' Joe Ivory, Ateo. It could be a smash!" Hot Rod had a big three day show at the State Theater in Baltimore called "A Valentine a Go Go" with: Marvelettes; Eddie Holman; 3 Degrees; Showmen; Shirley Vaughn; Sam & Bill.

Jim Stewart called and he is very excited about a new release by Eddie Floyd (formerly of the Falcons and co -writer of 634-5789"-Wilson Pickett was also in the original Fal- cons). The title is "Things Get Better."

Hoss Allen has a syndicated TV show going on many Southern stations, and it is filmed weekly in Dallas in color. Hoss flies down there to do the show. This could become a big thing for R&B. Jim Stewart promised to keep me posted.

The side on the Supremes now is "Everything's Good About You" and it is potent R&B stuff. The Martha & Vandellas is turning over already R&B as the "A" side goes pop.

Tom Collins, Head of the "OK" Chain tells me that "Hump- back," Eldridge Holmes, Jet Set, is coming up "Smash" in New Orleans for Allan Touissant and Marshall Seahorn. The Wilson Pickett is a giant, and the Mad Lads is large. Edwin Starr is doing great, and so is the Johnny Taylor blues. The James Carr messed up Tom's mind. The "OK" group program directors, meeting was just held in New Orleans.

Donny Brooks at WCHB, Detroit, is picking "How's Your New Love Treating You," Debonaires, Golden World. He is on: Johnny Taylor (blues) ; D. D. Sharp; Spellbinders; Ray Sharp; Charts; Eldridge Holmes; Jamo Thomas; Etta James.

Gil Lamar of WTMP, Tampa, checked in, and he is the P. D. The picks are: Johnny Taylor; Edwin Starr; and James Crawford. Other deejays there are: Jim (The Angel) Murray and George (Mr. T.T.T.) C. Top Pick: Ray Sharpe.

Enoch Gregory has been appointed Program Director of WWRL-New York City, replacing Rocky Groce. Rocky is now talent coordinator for stage shows put on by the Sonderling Chain and will continue to do his afternoon show over WWRL. Marty Wekser will continue as Music Director on WWRL; and Frank Ward, General Manager and VP of the Chain, expressed full confidence that his new team will carry R&B to new heights.

Randy Wood of Mira called from the Coast to inform me ecstatically that the Jackie Lee followup, "P -E -R -S -O -N -A -L- I -T -Y," has busted wide open in six markets. With all due respect to Ed Wright and Les Anderson, WABQ-Cleveland, this is the only side ... Iry Siegel info's that he's bought the San Francisco sales giant, "G'wan," by the Mark 3, for Golden World. The disk is over 6,000 in Frisco and Iry is rushing it out. In addition, Iry has a promising new record called "I'm Into Something and I Can't Shake Loose."

NASHVILLE

REPORT BY ED HAMILTON

Artists from RCA Victor's Music City roster are on the promo trail this week and covering the country from coast to coast. The trip will last 13 days and will hit California, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. This little Odyssey was set by Eddie Cummings who represents the Nashville Office of Gerald Purcell Associates. On the trip will be Eddy Arnold, Dottie West, Don Bowman, Jim Edward Brown and George Hamilton IV.

It looks like the "wild child" is in the act again. Smash's Roger Miller has been nominated for nine Grammy Awards! Last year he only picked up five, so if there's any way to top that, this should be the year.

Jimmie Rodgers Memorial Celebration May 26-28 The Second Annual Jimmie Rodgers Memorial Day celebration

will be held in Lucedale, Miss., May 26, 27 and 28 at the George County Fairgrounds. Happy Wainwright is Promotional Director of the event which started a few years ago in Meridian, Miss., the birthplace of Jimmie Rodgers, known to everyone as the father of country music.

Since Meridian decided to cancel the annual affair, Happy talked with Hank Snow and Ernest Tubb and many of the folks interested in the first years of the Jimmie Rodgers Memorial in Meridian. These folks and many other artists, trade paper representatives and disk jockeys urged Happy to find a location to continue holding the annual celebration. Happy decided to hold it in his hometown of Lucedale where he works at WHHT. Missis- sippi Governor Paul Johnson proclaimed the week of May 26 as Country Music Week in honor of the late Jimmie Rodgers, and if the forthcoming event is anything like it was last year it should be a great celebration.

Some of the top Music City musicians jetted out last week for the Coast and sessions with Elvis Presley. Making the trip were Floyd Cramer, Buddy Harman, Bob Moore and the fabulous Jordanaires.

RCA Victor's boss man in Nashville, Chet Atkins, will have a new album next month that got to be one of his finest yet. It's called, "Chet Piccks On the Beatles" and Mr. Guitar really lays it on 12 of the boys' numbers. Our pick from the set will have to be "Yesterday," one of the greatest melodies to come along in ages. The liner notes on the album were done by Beatle George Harrison who plays a Chet Atkins Gretsch guitar and whose only request of payment for writing the notes was a couple of copies of the album! I have a feeling it will be one of Chet's best sellers.

Monument's fabulous sax man, Boots Randolph, has just recorded one of the most exciting instrumentals of his career. He did an instrumental version of the Nancy Sinatra hit, "These Boots Are Made For Walking." Records are already in the jocks' hands and Boots is off and wailing once again!

It seems like albums are the order of the day the past week or so. Columbia's Bob Dylan was in doing one. Victor's funnyman, Den Bowman, just finished another rib -tickler. Justin Tubb and Lorene Mann finished a duet set last week. Porter Wagoner did a complete album of recitation type things with Bill Anderson getting the title tune, "Confessions of a Lonely Man." Dottie West finished hers, as did Skeeter Davis and Waylon Jennings. Paul Anka will be back in around the first of March to finish his. Se things are still pretty busy in the studios around here.

MCM Tour a Smash NASHVILLE-Sheb Wooley,

Hal Willis, Dave Dudley and Red Sovine have just completed a record -breaking MCM Pro- ductions tour of Canada and North Dakota. Said Charlie Un- derhill, one of the MCM own- ers: "It was one of the best tours we've had in years."

Coble to Alley JONESBORO, ARK.- Alley

Records is planning a major portion of their new releases to be in the country field announces Joe Lee, label prexy.

Their initial effort for the year features Ray Coble, a na- tive of Jonesboro.

Where It's At

Above, Record World's John Sturdivant and Mercury's Roy Drusky take a look at Record World's chart board backstage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nash- ville for progress of Roy's latest single, "Rainbow and Roses."

Now Hank Jr. Is Film Subject NASHVILLE - Hank Wil-

liams, Jr. will journey to Holly- wood on April 25 for the filming of a new movie based on his own life after the death of his father, Hank Williams, according to his agent Buddy Lee.

Williams will be in Holly- wood filming the MGM movie until his departure for Europe on May 30. He is set for personal appearances in England, Ireland, Germany, and Spain. Lee said Hank Jr. is presently fulfilling a string of 25 dates in Texas.

C/W Music Academy Awards Feb. 28 HOLLYWOOD - Final bal-

lots were mailed to members of the newly formed Country and Western Music Academy this week for the first annual awards which will take place at the Hollywood Palladium on Feb. 28.

A gala presentation banquet and show is planned for the event with many of the top west coast artists scheduled to appear. Some of the personal-

ities already set for the evening are Lorne Greene, Roger Miller, Molly Bee, Glen Camp- bell, Jimmy Wakely, Buck Owens, Bob and Dick Sherman, Buddy Ebsen, Chill Wills, and Dick Clark. The annual awards will be presented to winners in each of 21 categories con- nected with country music.

Country Music in H'wood (Continued from page 31)

Scotty Turner, Imperial A&R head, hard to get along with since his exciting Jimmy Bryant session recently, which Scotty says will "blow your hat in the creek" and this past Wednesday made some dandies on the potent talents of Buddy Cagle. This first master could rival the chart perches of Buck Owens. Scotty found some special Buddy Cagle material and wow! Knocks me out. 'Course I'm partial to great sessions. Remember Eddy Ar- nold's classic version of the Zeke Clements lovely, "Why Should I Cry?" Freddie Hart's LP track of the evergreen has created so much dj and sales fuss that Paul Cohen had to go in and excerpt that track from the best-selling "Hart of Country Music." Freddie's booked in 17 states in the next five weeks, and his management already setting fair dates for the summer for this gentle man of country music.

Hoyt Axton, perhaps the "head honcho" in contemporary folk music, has broken precedent again. His mother, Mae Axton, was one of the first professional country music journalists. Hoyt grew up, rebelled to start the commercial folk era, now has crossed Mama again by recording a complete commercial country LP, 20th Century Fox promises an early single country release, too. What a writer this guy is! ... Judy Lynn in the last two weeks acquired a new chauffeur. While starring at Harrah's Club, Lake Tahoe, Judy enjoyed the services of an itinerant fiddler, who, in his offstage hours, doubled as chauffeur in a previously liveried Cadillac. Played fair fiddle, but was not -too - hot a driver. Oh yes, he happened to be working there at the same time. His name? Roger Miller. Bet he had more fun as a fiddler than as "seconder" to Thumbs Carlisle!

Watch Hank Penny's moves in the next two months. He's just completed plans for his first full-blown comedy album. Ever hear his "Letter from Home" in the early 50's? "Dear Buddy . . -

You weren't here when your wife ran off the road with that new car you bought ... You lucky sonofagun, over there in the thick of things ..." He's a funny man ... Oh yes, Judy Lynn's '65 wardrobe inventory was appraised at $128,000. Her new U.A. LP, "Best of Judy Lynn," is pretty special too. I under- stand she'll become a contracted Musicor artist as of March 1.
