Don also mentioned that he would bro appea r ing on the Andy Williams and
Smothers Brothers' shows in the States " in a couple of weeks."
Was Don still interested in makmg singles or did he consider himself much more an album artist now?
·• I'd like to get a hit single. It's nice to have one and get it played a bit. J'd like to play for people to dance.
'' Maybe I haven't had the right line up. 1 haven't got an instant bass player and an in.stant drummer, like the Stax th ings. The record depends very much on the guys who play wit h you."
Another Donovan plan that may be set In action later in the year is a solo tele·1i1lon special in colour

('C',h,::il~d°'.:"'---•n=dc--M-arv __ 1n_,,,,G_•_Y_• _/1t_w_as_ only last August that
I was burbllnst In the public press: IS TAMLA MOTOWN DEAD?
Dashing headlong Jnto a path of foUy and tittle tattle I raved: "The Motown sound. which has been such a power for good music In four years,
seem,; to be dying th(' death--ehartwlse ... the magic s~ms to be wear• ing out. They will ha\.'e lo cast off the four years old formula that is wearing decidedly thln. Some things you DO Ret used to."
Perhaps these s trong words were boun ced by satellite acroc;s the Allantlc to De• ltolt Cit y, wherein wor• ried executives held Immediate conferences.
0Jte can imagine opulent finger-poppers meeting in a sumptlous board room, beneath huge portra its of Berry Gordy and Diana Ross.
" Okay you guys. See what thJs Llmey punk is mouth• Ing about our products? Let's sec some action. We'll show that Banzai Dog Bebop Band what finger poppln's all about. Get Tamla back In the chart--or else."
Wen, whatever happened, it seems to have worked. To have seven records In the Pop 30 at the same time must be the most In soul history.
And they are all quality songs, performances and productions, Including the revivals by the Isley Brothers and Martha and the Vandellas, whJch date back to the days of Ready, Steady, Go!
However, I wasn't alone tn my presumpllous barrage.
Dave Godin, founder of the Tamla Motown Appreciation Society also said back lo August.: "Personally I don't think Motown is what It used to be. They have tended to stick too much to a set formula."
And looking back, I rounded off my blast with these wise sayings: " Perhaps the sound that rocked the Sixties wiU ha,•e a revtval of fortune soon."

LOUD
This was noticeable with the Groundhogs, who opened the show. Tony McPhtt's guitar was over-loud and his vocals were w e ll-nigh inaudible on the group's ve rs ion of Sleepy John Estes' " Ex-press Man ' and the Freddy King number, "Welfare BllleS."
Sieve R~e•s harmonica was also a bit lost Jn the overall sound. However, bass guitarist Pete Cruickshank and drummer Ken Pustelnik fared

somewhat better. The Groundhoias were then
auamentcd by planlst Bob Hall and the belle ol the British blu• - ,lo. Ann Kelly . Power£ul singer though she is. JoAnn had to pull out a ll the stops to make ii on " Let Me Love You " and the old evergreen, " Rock Me Baby." But why no -solo spot for Jo-Ann?

Her two-number set wa!> all too short and could have been bolstered by the Inclusion ot some of her country blues singing with her very good bottleneck guitar playing.

Violent feedback marred the itart of his sd, but this was corrected and he continued unhindered.
The Groundhogs returned lQ, back John on •• Going Back To Chltago '' which he prefaced with " Different stroke, fnr different

HARRY FRANCIS three main chargn
"They will make a contract, say, at a •alary ot £2,000 "'lth auc.h an artist to fulfil a tour of possibly two or three weeks. But the rontract stipulates that the enta&emt-nt is null and void if the lt1ll"s approval ts not fortbcomina.
" They then proceed to lJ'}I to sell the artist or group around the country. Then. after some weeks. they find that \My have only been able to book the act fo r tl,000-worth of work. Or even IHs.
•• The outcome ls that, ln.l'tt'ad or telling the managrr of the group thal they have been unable to sr-11 It as planned, they say that the Musldans' Union wJIJ not permit It to appear.
"The tru th Is that, in
many cues, the MU hu no1 evNi been made a>Aarf' or the Intended d•I. The Union ls thus made to appcar the scape,oat to those fans - and the group llnlr - who ha-ve bffn lookln& for\o\-a.rd to the project'td tour.
" This has happened on several occasions, and the MU Is watching 'this pn,clice vuy closely. Jt will not hesitate to expose the5e people when concrete evLdence la put Into Its hand,."
e CHARGE No. 2 • ., Another racket Lha.t concems the UnJon ls when an aaent or promoter takes a &f'OUP under his wing and promises a ret.ordln& contract
"A tape is obtalned of the sroup and takeo :Ilona to one of the major recordlnc companies. On the strma:th of future prospects, the poup is persuaded to sign a contra.ct, which wery often doesn·t Include the payment of the bask recordIng fees--only the paym~t of royalties.
"But lf the recording is not a suecers. these are minimal. Tltls !s certalnly • practice frowned upon by lht, Union. We fttl that the group should have some money In ilt pocket for work
done In th e recording studio. Their reward should not depend solely on the gamble that the ncord might be a .succes,.
"The Unk>n h•s had Instances brought to Its notice where such record. in&s hne been succe.ssfol and brought in anything from £500 to Cl,000. Thi• money should have been paJd to the ll"OUP- But once the agni LI or promo.. ten get their hands on
~u:r~e;te:ft:e~cst~di'~ and various expenses' have been deducted.
"The MU feeJs that the group ,should have the. fir.st call on any money earntd as the result of its recordJng. For without the p-oup, there could have bttn no r• cordlna In the first place.
" But when you try to get musicians to produce evidence against these apnt.s, they are either afraid of beina vlctlmbed where future work Is concerned, or afraid of being knocked about by strona:arm men.
•• This hasn't happened only to unknown groups, who understandably overlook the finer points of a contract In their anxiety to get ahead; It has abo happened to well-known groups,

~~~ ::,u:h!f ui::'~n.~t ~fij not hesllate to put such promoters or agenll on the black ll5L
" Our advice to any group - experienced or mherwlse-ls always to seek the advice or their local MU branch secretary before they sle:n any contract"
e CHARGE No. 3 Involves phoney "exchange" deals.
Says Harry: "We even know of cases where 1roups have been • contracted • for tours of America as a device whereby American groups can be Induced to come :=, o:h~~ •,:u:anr.~; non-existent
" Tbls trkk enablu an &l'ffl t or promoter to put o lll fttlers for booklngs or the American 1roup. But If-as I have lndlcated-the bookings don't oome up to expectations, the • exchange • cannot take place.
" The payoff Is that the British group didn't even know it was being used as a pawn In the fiT5t place.''

Consistency was never hil forte, and although the Joy album is very cheap, most of it could have been left in the vaults instead of bei ng issued for the second time, Fontana released lhese tracks originally on 668 52IZL and Leonard Feather's sleevenote from it has been butchered down to a few paragraphs which convey nothing
But for the gripping duet with bassist Richard Davis on "Alone Together" and the academic interest of the unaccompanied alto exercise on ·• Love Me," Dolphy's memory would have been better served by forgetting what's on here. "Alone" is quite remarkahle

His bass clarinet here, and some lugubrious croaking on !he otherwise dreadful "Music Matador'' ind icate his skill on this neg lected instrument. a skill which was close to virtuoao standard by the time Dolphy died in Berlin in 1964 -B.H.

THE MISSING DIMENSION IN THE FOLK REVIVAL " THE Reviva l should have had three dimensions
but it has only gone in two," says Cyril Tawney. "Geographically it has spread and it's ~ot the class of people like apprentices and secretanes. These two dimensions are all nght but the th,rdage groups - it doesn·t seem to have spread to.
"The average_ age of ~eries and he was allowed people I'~ singing to m to feature some unaccotnclubs is still the ~a~e age panied songs. "Since the group as 1 w~s singing to advent of Radio One there ten years ago. has been more good folk
Cyril thinks that clubs m programmes than there themselves may have some- ever was. The way it was thing to do with it. "The first described, I thought way the clubs are run is folk would have no chance deliberately for ~he young of getting on." - TONY
