Twenty-five year old Melcherhas within a very few years be-come one of the best known andmost successful young writersand record producers.

RECORD WORLD-May 13, 1967 3

Negroes & Fan Mags: Dionne Pioneers in South,Wows N.Y.C. in Copa DebutRecord World Prompts

New AwarenessIn a recent issue, Record

World spotlighted the almosttotal lack of coverage of Negrorecording artists in the nation'srecord fan magazines. The over-whelming response of both thepress and the public shows thata new awareness of this prob-lem is now in the air, andhopefully the situation mayimprove in the future.

Top syndicated columnistWalter Winchell in a recentcolumn wrote "Press agentssay it is still very tough to getarticles about Negro entertain-ers in fan mags. There are oc-casional exceptions."

Record World did not meanto make this a blanket indict-ment. Of course, there are ex-ceptions and we reprint thefollowing letter to illustratethis.

* * *

April 24, 1967Mr. Ted WilliamsRecord World200 West 57 StreetNew York, N. Y. 10019Dear Mr. Williams:

We are writing in regard toyour article in the April 15,1967 issue of Record World con-cerning the lack of coverage ofNegro artists by fan magazines.

We agree with you that themajority of fan magazines havebeen ignoring Negro recordingartists. However, we were sur-prised that our magazines, HitParader, Song Hits, and Rock

and Roll Songs, were not in-cluded in your survey, since weare among the few who havegiven Negro performers exten-sive coverage in our pages.

In recent issues we have fea-tured many leading names inthe Rhythm and Blues and rockand roll fields. Most of thesearticles received one and two -page spreads.

We have always recognizedthe important contributionmade to today's music by Negroartists, and we intend to con-tinue featuring them in intel-ligent interviews and articles.

Sincerely,CHARLTON PUBLISHINGCORP.By

The Editors* * *

We salute Charlton Publish-ing Corp. for their attitude. Weonly hope that the other editorsand publishers in the fan fieldwill now change their attitudesand enter into the swingingworld of the '60s where talentis the only password to success.

This has been true in therecording and entertainmentworld for decades. In fact, theworld of show business hasbeen the scene of pioneer ef-forts to ignore the false barrierof color. Publications whichfeature entertainers shouldrealize this and act accordingly.We sincerely hope that in thefuture they will.

Audio Fi TapeBusiness Up

NEW YORK - Herman D.Gimbel, President of AudioFidelity Records, Inc., an-nounces an increase in tapebusiness of 32% during thefirst quarter of this year.

A large part of Audio Fi'scatalog is now available on 4and 8 track tape cartridgesthrough International TapeCartridge Corporation. The suc-cessful "Spectacular Stereo andDemonstration Sound Effects"album has now been adaptedby International Tape Car-tridge. Cesana's seven albums,just released on Audio Fidel-ity, are also available on Inter-national Tape Cartridge Cor-poration's tape cartridges. Au-dio Fi's releases are also avail-able on Ampex 4 track reel-to-reel tape.

Gimbel has just consummateda deal with Mercury RecordCorporation to produce theAudio Fidelity catalog on cas-settes, and the first release ofnine cassettes has just ap-peared on the market. He fore-sees continuing sales increasein the tape cartridge market asmore and more new car buyersinclude factory installed play-ers as original equipment ontheir new cars.

Family GoldThe Mamas & the Papas have

added another gold disk to theirfamily with official certificationby the Record Industry Asso-ciation of America of theirlatest album, "The Mamas &the Papas Deliver," on ABC'sDunhill label.

NEW YORK-You have to bethere.

Scepter Records' DionneWarwick has had one smashrecord after another for fiveyears, calls Paris her own andwas gifted with a gold -spun,$15,000 gown by an admiringMarlene Dietrich. But is is notuntil you see the current per-fecting of her act at the Copathat you realize how much thedynamic young lady deservesher wide acclaim which started-but only started - with the

n o w slightlylong - in - the -tooth but stillclamorous JetSet.

Of late, Rec-ord Worldlearned after arecent set (herN.Y. nitery

Dionne bow), DionneWarwick has been, in

her own words, "kind of a ladyDaniel Boone." She recentlyplayed five and a half monthsin colleges throughout theSouth that had never presenteda Negro performer before, de-lighting the crowds with allher hits, from her first, "Don'tMake Me Over," to her latest,"Alfie," which she recentlysang on the Academy Awardstelecast.

Her travels to sometimes 10colleges a week were withoutincident, she related, and hergreat success in those parts haspaved the way for other Negroperformers who are alreadyheading for the hills to work.

The experience Dionne hasgained on these tours ("Wheredo I get the energy? I don'tknow. They just wind me upand on I go !") has obviouslybenefitted her act. Althoughsoft-spoken in person (and evenduring the mild patter of heract), Dionne can belt with thebest, really shows an audiencewhat soul is all about. Whatshe has never had the chanceto reveal before, however, inher too -brief TV guestings oron record, is her warmth and,especially, her humor. Shedoes a delightfully droll ren-dition of a number called"L -O -V -E" ("During rehearsalsI fooled around with the song,and the boys in the band saidif I didn't do it that way whenI opened, they were walkingout. So I'm doing it"). And sheis wise enough to underplaythe between - song jokes formaximum effect. She is mod-est of manner (despite threat-ening decolletage in a hot pinkgown), but she can arouse the

most button-down audience intonear -frenzy with such as "Whatthe World Needs Now."

In a few weeks, Dionne in-formed, she will also have hernext single out, "Windows ofthe World," written, of course,by Burt Bacharach and HalDavid, who have penned allof Dionne's hits, most of whichare in the act, along with sev-eral standards.

Following her Copa stint,Dionne goes to Rome for tele-vision, then the Venetian Roomof the Fairmont Hotel, SanFrancisco, and the CenturyPlaza in Los Angeles, followedby dates in Washington, At-lantic City and France andthen concerts again.

Dionne finishes the act with(Continued on page 5)

Money MusicBy KAL RUDMAN

Pop Smash: "Hip Hug -Her," Booker T., Stax-Top 4 in Seattle,Atlanta, Louisville!

The biggest selling records in the nation are Aretha Franklin,the Young Rascals, and Arthur Conley. The Rascals has nowbroken wide open R&B, and is now going Smooth Music withWGN, Chicago (Wally Phillips and Eddie Hubbard). Congrats toCharlie Allen, Music Director, for recognizing the "switch" of alltime. This is a true "summer sound." The reason these recordsare the biggest is that they straddle four market segments: teens,adults R&B and pop.

British artists dominate the rest of the Top 10: Eric Burdon;D.C. 5; Haines; Spencer Davis. The rest of the top 10 are alsosinging groups-the Happening and the Buckinghams . . . Then,Britains' Englebert Humperdinck and Jonathin King are almostTop 10. Most of the other hottest selling records in the nation

are also by groups: Paul Revere & Raiders;Jefferson Airplane; Tommy James & Shondells;Mamas & Papas; Tokens; Easybeats; Tempta-tions; Music Explosion; 5th Dimension; Spanky& Our Gang; Marvellettes; Lovin' Spoonful;James & Bobby Purify; Peaches & Herb;Cyrkle; Seeds; Wildweeds; Arrows; MitchRyder; Don and Goodtimes.

Most Likely to Go All the Way1. "No Good To Cry," Wildweeds, Cadet-

This is a fantastic, solid #1 in Hartford, and broke in New Or-leans. It makes sense for every station to give it a shot.

2. "Hip Hug -Her," Booker T. & M.G.'s, Stax-Jt is top 5 atKOL, Seattle, sold over 7,000 there (which is a lot) and has EVENbeen charted at KJR; it is top 5 at WQXI, Atlanta; jumped from#24 to #3 to WKLO, Louisville; owns the South; sold 60,000 copieslast week nationally. This record is a POP hit.

3. "Sunday Will Never Be the Same," Spanky & Our Gang,Mercury-This is top candidate to go top 10. Producer Jerry Rosswill duplicate his success with Keith.

4. "Shake a Tail Feather," J&B Purify-Solid hit sales.5. "Making Memories," Frankie Laine, ABC-This Philly smash

is going like blazes, just as we predicted. Tune was written byEddie ("Strangers In the Night") Snyder.

6. "Flower Children," Marcia Strassman-is top 5 in S.F.7. "Cold Outside," the Choir, Roulette-Giant in Pittsburgh and

owns Cleveland.8. "Can't Take My Eyes," Frankie Valli-Heavy!9. "Girls In Love," Gary Lewis.10. "Glass," Sandpipers.11. "Ding Dong," 5th Estate-Champ of bubble -gum.12. "The Sound of Love," 5 Americans-More of a good thing.13. "I've Lost You," Jackie Wilson, WMCA & CKLW should

prove the pop potential first. A strong ballad.14. "Ain't No Mt.," Gaye & Terrell-Should make much noise.15. "Love," Terry Knight-Cleveland monster.Ronnie Dove in just a few weeks has climbed to top 20 to 15

on many charts. Neil Diamond wrote the song, and his own recordhas exploded on the trade charts. Sales are fabulous.

Eddie Levine of UA re -serviced the Easybeats three times, andwe never let up the "hock"-The Easybeats are top 5 at WMCA,N.Y.; #4 at WKNR, Detroit; went all the way to top 5 in Cleve-land, Cincinnati, Miami, etc.

"Edelweiss," Vince Hill, Tower, is a smash in St. Louis andTexas . . . All Texas is gigantic on "If I Can Find the Time,"Jones Boys, Atco . . . Texas is still very big on Jon & Robin.

Our Leader, Bertha Porter, tells us that "The Collector," the n,Kapp, is a, solid hit in Hartford . . . "Oogum Boogum," BrentonWood, is big in S.F., Texas, Chicago, Charlotte . . . "BluesTheme," Arrows, owns California.

Grooving Around Some StationsThe Buckinghams a solid n at WKNR and the Who is top 15

. . . Peaches and Herb are top 10 at WUBE & WSAI, Cincinnati

. . . WKLO, Louisville, has Arthur Conley at #1, Neil Diamond #2,Booker T. & M.G.'s at #3, Peaches and Herb at #5, and Toussaint

A Hit is BornThe just rushed -into -release

Kingsmen disk of "Don't SayNo" has an interesting history.

To help promote their recentWand release, "The Wolf ofManhattan," the Kingsmen in-vited WROZ (Evansville, Ind.)dj Rick Darvy to join them ontheir bus to tape an interview.Since the group was on its wayto a concert at the EvansvilleNational Guard Armory, theybegan rehearsing and Darvytaped one of the numbers,"Don't Say No," which thegroup had recently cut for fu-ture release. When Darvyplayed the tape on the air, hereceived 300 phone calls on thesong, so he called the Kings -men's New York office for adub. Other stations began re-questing the dub.

When Scepter/Wand discov-ered that the stores were re-ceiving heavy calls on therecord, they decided to rush -re-lease it.

Freddy Scott Has a Solid HitWith Picks at KGFJ, WVON, WIGO, the re -order pattern on

"Am I Groovin' You," Freddy Scott, has been solidly established.Freddy is firmly entrenched as a major R&B star.

A top retail dealer in Philadelphia stated that airplay on "DoRight Woman" has caused sales to escalate tremendously. In fact,the same people buy both Aretha Franklin singles plus the LP.They want the single for use at parties and "for the kids." Thedealer said, "Aretha is far out -selling anything in the store."

Reginald Day Hot in Chicago"Lost Love," Reginald Day, Midas-Onederful, is breaking in

Chicago, and should be spreading rapidly.WWIN, Baltimore, has broken wide open: "Hypnotized," Linda

Jones, Loma. The "Too Hot" on WWIN, according to PD -MD AlJefferson, is "Ain't That Terrible," Roy Redmond, Loma. Thereis no question that Loma and its General Manager Jerry Ragavoywill be the hottest thing going in a few weeks. Jerry has writtenand produced a new Lorraine Ellison called "No Matter How ItAll Turns Out" that will make her the biggest female star sinceAretha! Jerry's new Howard Tate is called "Baby I Love You";and he has a new Garnet Mims coming on UA called "Roll Withthe Punches."

Phil -La and Dionn Records is CookingWWIN is on the "Stay Together Young Lovers" side of the new

Brenda & Tabulations, while Marty Wekser of WWRL went with"Who's Lovin' You" (a Smokey Robinson oldie flip tip). Congratsto Les Brown and Bill Moss of WVKO, Columbus, Ohio, for break-ing "A Woman Will Do Wrong," Helene Smith, Phil -La. DaveDemon Crawford of WAOK is also on it strong. It was big inMiami.

Atlantic Records is thrilled by the continuing good sales on"Out of Left Field," Percy Sledge. This record has quietly solda lot better over the weeks than is first realized. Sales onit are very steady. Jerry Wexler released a statement that"Thread the Needle," Clarence Carter, Fame, is a definite solid,steady selling record. He said, "Atlantic is all-out to bring it inNorth of the Mason-Dixon line!"

Local Promo Man of the WeekIndie Mack Clark does a great job in both Hartford and Boston,

and the New England territory in general. He has proven hisvalue to many labels for many years.

Like Baltimore -Washington, the Detroit market is very active,and we have to keep returning there to commend additional promopeople. Carl Proctor of Music Merchants, who formerly headedthe Blue Rock label for Mercury, does a great job and is wellliked. He is a highly intelligent, articulate, forceful person, whoknows every aspect of the business. He has often pointed out howdifficult it is for even highly successful R&B retail dealers toget a credit line from many big major -type labels.

We must also point out that MGM has a strong promo man inDetroit.

Ed Wright reports that "Ready Willing and Able," Jimmy Holi-day and Clydie King, Minit, broke in St. Louis and Baltimore . . .

The side on the new Magnificent Men on Capitol seems to be, "ICould Be So Happy" . .. Buddy Beason has left WLOK, Memphis,to run a cocktail lounge, and he is promoting, "You Keep CallingMe By Her Name," Amanda Love, Starville . . . Steve Byrd,KXLW, St. Louis, called to tell about his latest record hop, which"drew over 3,000 kids" . . . "It's All Over Between Us," LeeCharles, is the pick at WABQ, Cleveland, and is selling in Chi-cago off the WVON Pick and is good in other markets likeBaltimore.

Strong New Releases1. "Nearer," Betty Harris, Sansu.2. "Baby Please Come Back Home," J. J. Barnes, Groovesville

(This column appears first in Spanish and then in English.)

Debut6 Raphael en Panamericana-Television y en la BoiteChavin de Lima, Peru. Sus actuaciones reflejan un talento ydesenvolvimiento en escena extraordinarios. Disfrutamos en sudebut en la Boite Chavin en un aspecto: su dominio del public°incluyendonos a nosotros y lamentamos incidentes y accidentesque nos han hecho aquella noche inolvidable. Se presento Raphaelsin acompafiamiento de orquesta, aun cuando ello entraba en losplanes originales. El equipo de sonido fue manejado deficiente-mente y la reproducci6n de las "pistas" traidas por Raphael paralograr su acompatamiento musical, aun cuando eran fabulosas,fueron lanzadas al ambiente de un modo irregular y desafortu-nado. Acabo el artista cantando acompafiado al piano por elMaestro Manuel Alejandro, compositor de sus exitos. Hemos vistoa grandes artistas enfrentarse a situaciones similares, que sibien es cierto no son agradables, llegan a ser excusables anteun pueblo que aclamo a Raphael delirantemente y un pUblicoasistente aquella noche al Chavin que seguia uno a uno sus mo-vimientos, ofrendaiidole ovaciones ante cada dificultad. Sus ex-presiones soltadas al azar y su trato a la prensa presente dejaronmucho que desear. i Cuanto mas hubiera crecido Raphael enaquella oportunidad, si hubiera mostrado trazas de sencillez ycomprension! Al retirarse de aquellos hellos salones, seguido deun sequito de auxiliares atonitos, dej6 al periodista con unapalabra fijada en su mente, ademas, su expresion soltada alpublico referente al acto de nacer, no suena nada elegante enLatinoamerica.

Daniel Santos Pete Rodriguez Jose Feliciano Blanca Rosa Gil

Iniciara Columbia una gran promotion para afianzar la posi-cion de Jorge Valente. Triunfa en el Grill Bolivar, en Lima, lacancionista cubana Blanca Rosa Gil. Grabara un nuevo "elepe"en Venezuela dentro de pocos dias . . .

Saludamos aGuillermo Alvarez Guedes en el Aeropuerto de Miami, de pasohacia Puerto Rico y nos anunci6 una sorpresa formidable paradentro de muy poco. De momento, completara en la Isla del En-canto, un nuevo "album" del Gran Combo interpretando "booga-loos."

record world JazzTaking Care of Business

By DEL SHIELDS

Mr. Wonderful BowsThe greater Metropolitan

area of New York this pastweek welcomed a new club, inNewark, N.J. The club's shin-gle is Mr. Wonderful.

It is a plush, modern, warmand well-appointed bistro thatshould become within a shortperiod of time one of the im-portant music rooms in theEast.

A new club is not especiallynews. Butwhen the clubowner is a de-voted jazz fanand aware ofthe so - calledpitfalls inbooking jazzacts, and hasinsisted t h a tjazz play adefinite p a r tin the book-

ing, it becomes earth -shakingnews.

But this is what Lonnie Stan-ley, the 33 -year -old owner, isinsisting.

He has booked a number ofjazz acts along with his con-temporary acts and feels verystrongly that a jazz act can bepart of a bill that will featureMiriam Makeba, Jerry Butler,Marvin Gaye and others.

And the young Mr. Stanleyjust might possibly be right.

It has always been a knownfact that all jazz fans do notrestrict themselves to themuted stylings of Miles or theemotionalism of Coltrane.There are many who can putdown the meanest Boo-Galoo inthe world and others can im-provise around the Boston Mon-key or any of the other newdance steps. And furthermore,there are many R&B and rockand roll artists whose albumsoccupy a coveted position in thejazz libraries of some of thegreatest collectors.

Del Shields

Personal PreferenceOver the past, the urge to

classify has had clubs beingrepresented as jazz clubs, rockclubs, etc. However, I'd ratherhear some good rock 'n' roll andswinging grits as opposed tosome of the lukewarm and dis-jointed performances I've seenput down by members of thejazz academy.

The versatile format in book-ing also covers the couplewhere one member might pos-

sibly be "in" and the other"out."

Br. Mr. Wonderful has alsoattempted to solve the problemof booking jazz acts in the kindof atmosphere that is con-ducive for them to perform attheir peak.

Too long have jazz acts beenforced to play rooms that canbe classified as "arm pits." Andthe general arrogance of theowners are certainly of no help.

It is refreshing to see anowner of a club who finally doesnot have to be told and forcedby a contract to have a first-rate piano properly tuned.

It is welcome to find an ownerwho is aware of sound and theneed for musicians to be heardnot only in front of the stagebut in the furthest room.

Heard in All PartsIn addition, Stanley has built

a club where the show can beheard in all parts of the clubincluding the rest rooms. Nowthat's really taking care ofbusiness.

And if one would like to eat,he has put in a first-rate kit-chen with a menu that sparkleswith tasty food.

And lastly, if one wants toeat, one can see the food.

Since the club opened, he hasbooked a 10 -piece band com-posed of leading jazz musiciansin the New York -Newark area.The band is led by little JohnnyColes, long one of the finesttrumpeters in the business.With this kind of group, thesingers need have no fear thatthe band will not be able toplay the book.

Singers often tell the story ofbeing booked into clubs andafter hearing the group em-ployed to back them, discardedtheir charts and routine andthen asked the band, whattunes they knew. This is theonly way they could completethe engagement.

Mr. Wonderful may just pos-sibly start a trend. Too longhas it been easy for the jazzclub owners to say that it can'tbe done. Perhaps others acrossthe country will direct theirattention to Mr. Wonderfuland watch what will happen.If it doesn't happen, it will notbe because young Stanley didnot take care of business. Hehas at least made the step.

This past week, he brought

in Roy Meriwether, the Colum-bia recording artist, whosethree albums have quietly beenracking up substantial sales.

Roy, a steller member of thegospel -soul -funk school of jazz,made an impressive debut inthe East. Fresh from an excit-ing engagement at the Bohem-ian Caverns in Washington, Royis making the jazz listeners ofNew York sit up and take no-tice.

And in the few months wehave watched him, his growthand development is nothingshort of remarkable. Heswings, he burns and he cooks!The group makes a most im-pressive and class appearance,and they are not afraid to en-tertain.

With Roy, Miriam Makebabrought her African excitementto the room and, as always,taught us that music is a uni-versal language. One does notneed to know the language inorder to hear the message.There is no doubt that MiriamMakeba in the next year willemerge one of the really greatartists in the business.

In weeks to come, JimmySmith is booked plus a numberof other jazz artists.

Open Session By

Brute ForceColumbia recently opened

to the press a special recordingsession featuring the label'snew singing personality, BruteForce. The session took placein Columbia's Studio B at 49East 52 Street on April 18from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

Brute Force recorded hisnewest composition, "HelloMoscow," which is expected toappeal to a global market andis directed, especially, towardthe youth behind the Iron Cur-tain. Brute Force speaks Rus-sian and feels that the youngpeople in Eastern Europe can-not fail to be moved upon hear-ing the Russian language set tothe American pop sound.

"Hello Moscow" was pro-duced by John Simon, Colum-bia Records Popular A and R,who has indicated that advancecopies of it, were given to theVoice of America for overseasdistribution. In addition, therecord will be released by vari-ous CBS affiliates and subsidsthroughout the world.


Duke -Peacock came with a new Buddy Ace called "SomethingFor These Blues" and also "You've Been Good To Me," Joe Hin-ton . . . Chatty Hatty and Fat Daddy both feel that "Heart andSoul," Incredibles, should make it as a hit . . . "Let Me Keep YouSatisfied," Marvellos, WB, is a hit in a few markets and is doingvery well . . . "Ooh Baby, Baby," 5 Stairsteps, went automatical-ly on every station. Ditto for "It's All Over," Lee Charles, forIry Nahen.

Whoever produced "Some Kind of Wonderful," Soul Brothers6, Atlantic, knocked himself out doing a great job.

An even greater mystique has developed about Jerry Wexleras the all-time great soul producer. He produced the Sweet Inspi-rations personally, and it looks like he's maintaining his stringof successes.

"Since I Don't Have You" is definitely the side on the Spell-binders .. . Bill Kenner, PD of WMPP, Chicago, feel that GeorgeLeaner has a smash in both "Lost Love," Reginald Day, Midas,and "Joey," Young Folk, Mar-V-Lus. Anne Du Conge is still inthe hospital in Chicago.

"When a Man Loves a Woman," Raymond LeFevre, Kapp, isstarting well in Philly, and is getting play in Atlanta . . . "YouCan Depend On Me," Barbara Mason, Arctic, is breaking in Phillyand Baltimore. It is choice "Smokey" soul.

Tip: "Ain't Nothin But a House -Party," Showstoppers, Jamie,is a stone smash in Philadelphia, and is ready to spread. It isalso large pop in Philadelphia.

Renny Roker and Magnificent Montague inform that "PreciousMemories," Romeos, is still a "monster" in Baltimore and Wash-ington, and refuses to stop selling. They have an LP ready toroll, but no new single while this one rolls in sales.

Marty Wekser, WWRL, N.Y.C.: The Otis & Carla is a smash-ing #3. Jean Wells is #7; 0. V. Wright is #10. "Alfie," DionneWarwick, is a smash. Breakouts: Gene Chandler; Jackie Wilson;Otis Redding; Brenda & Tabulations and Marty is alone in goingon the "B" side of Brenda. "Who's Loving You" was the "B" sideof "Shop Around" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Newat WWRL: J. J. Barnes; Simtec Simmons; Thelma Jones; E. Rod-ney Jones; Delfonics; Inez & Charlie Foxx; Norm West; Rascals.

record world's Jazz Album ReviewsBy DEL SHIELDS F==

SPICYRICHARD "GROOVE" HOLMES-Prestige 7493

Groove is back and taking care of busi-ness. Under his expertise, he takes "IfI Had a Hammer" and the aim is di-rect to the charts. There will be a softlanding. Groove's ability to take a tuneand make it pleasing is pure joy andhe deserves all the exposure he cangarner. Again, he touches all baseslightly and his offering of "Old Folks"takes this chestnut and broils it slowlyand tastefully until the juice pops.

****DINAH DISCOVERED

DINAH WASHINGTON-Mercury 2119/SR6119

It's difficult to believe that the"Queen" is no longer with us. Howlucky we are that on two evenings in 1961she set up shop in Hollywood and ap-plied her touch to a number of filmthemes. Some of the most mundanetunes come alive here, as she discoversnew meaning and flavor. The tunes areall well known. Most have been doneover and over. But there is no mistak-ening the Queen's touch. May theQueen still reign . . . wherever she is.

Dj Darkens Studio,Ella Brightens L.A.HOLLYWOOD - Ella Fitz-

gerald's first LP for CapitolRecords, "Brighten The Corn-er," is soaring on the WestCoast best-seller album charts-much thanks to the efforts ofone KMPC disk jockey, DickWhittinghill.

So moved by the soulful ren-dering Ella gives "A CloserWalk With Thee," a five-minutegospel number on Side #1,Whittinghill spins the track in

its entirety every ayem.What's more, to augment the

"happening" from his ownstandpoint, he throws his studiointo total darkness, rests hishead on his desk and givesabsolute concentration to Ella'sinimitable sounds. Conse-quently, "Brighten Every Corn-er" is brightening every rec-ord stall in sight hereabouts.

Whittinghill credits secretaryTess Russell for first callingthe disk to his attention. She'sbeen his right arm and thirdear the past 14 years.


The Young Rascals have a solid R&B smash, and are now fullyaccepted in many R&B markets as an R&B group. Congrats! Thathasn't happened for most acts.

'Gems of Jazz' PromoA Bright New NoteBernie Block Reveals Plans

For More R&B, a Jazz SeriesBy DOUG McCLELLAND

NEW YORK - "There havebeen samplers before, but neverone to encompass 10 such re-nowned jazz artists until now,"said Bernie Block, Blue NoteRecords' National Sales Mana-ger, in announcing the excellentinitial reception for the "Gemsof Jazz" limited edition LP.

The album, containing earlyperformances by Horace Silver,

Miles Davis,Bud Powell,James Moody,Jay JayThomp-son, MiltJackson, The-lonious Monk,T add Darner -on, CliffordBrown andArt Blakey, is

geared as a promotional pack-age and sells for $2.49, monoand stereo.

"Many new retail outlets arebeginning to expose themselvesto jazz product," Block went on."And with an LP like 'Gems ofJazz,' I feel the whole BlueNote catalog becomes more im-portant in stores. We've ar-ranged mailings, window dis-plays, browser divider cards, admats, merchandising kits, in-store promotion pieces, as wellas national advertising.

"We want to get the maxi-mum exposure possible forartists involved in the promo-tion. We recently had a verybig promotion for Horace Silveron the West Coast while he wasappearing at Shelly's Manne-hole. The club was decoratedwith albums."

Bernie Block

Business and ArtContinued Block: "The jazz

artist is beginning to realizethat his field is as much a busi-ness as an art. They're becom-ing more promotion -minded,and also are more interested ingetting back into the studio.Plus, we're currently going intoabout a dozen radio station pro-motions in key markets-theyplay a minute and a half of the`Gems' LP, explain that this isthe first time a package of thistype has been available at thisprice, tell where it can bebought locally and then giveplugs to the catalog."

Block adds that when a "goodmusic" station begins to pro-gram non -esoteric jazz, calls

come in from listeners they'venever had before. "The stationsaren't losing; they add on totheir listening audience.

'What many manufacturersdon't realize is that they mustfollow-up the initial investmenton a jazz recording, must be incontact with the local FM orjazz stations and jockeys."

`Profiles' Series ComingBlock reported that Blue Note

is trying "with every recordwe're releasing to plan a con-cept for future." In September,Blue Note is starting a "Profilesin Jazz" series, about whichmore later. All Block will revealnow is that the series will becomprised of a dozen or morethree -LP editions.

Furthermore, he stated, "Dueto the expanding market of jazztoday, we're going to be ex-panding our sound. Withoutdetracting from our jazz sound,Blue Note will add a new, ex-pansive sound that will be aplus factor for the label. Wewill also become more involvedin the R&B field. The line be-tween rhythm and blues andjazz isn't that wide, as we'veseen with Stanley Turrentine's`Rough and Tumble' LP. We'reexperiencing much greater R&Bsales and play than ever before,and I think this is a direction tofollow.

"Singles will be releasedstrictly on the merit of the al-bum."

Right Marketing Needed"The jazz academy has some

of the most brilliant A&R pro-ducers in this business, but forall their brilliance (and I've al-ways believed it must be in thegrooves), the wax must havethe right marketing or it willall go down the drain. Throughcareful analysis, we're going tomake sure our releases will notflood the market. Careful coor-dination is very important inthis business," Block asserted.

Block added that the increas-ing success of jazz in general-and Blue Note Records in par-ticular - has been especiallygratifying to the label's dedica-ted founders (in 1939), AlfredLion and Francis Wolff, "whowould never release a recordunless it was letter-perfect, andget a bigger kick now seeingjazz product sell to all kinds ofmusic lovers."

Brisk SalesFor Julie

LOS ANGELES-The recentSenate Judiciary Subcommit-tee hearing relative to artistperformance copyrights, hasresulted in a brisk sale forJulie London's new Libertysingle, "The Mickey MouseMarch."

During the session, in aneffort to prove that an artist'sinterpretation can change atune radically, she first playedthe Mouseketeer disk and thenher own sultry version. Theresultant national publicity hasstimulated action on her plat-ter everywhere and has gar-nered numerous requests toradio stations for air -play.Newspapers throughout thenation devoted much space toJulie's appearance, includingUnited Press International.

We quote in part: ". . . Theyall made persuasive witnessesbut it obviously was MissLondon who scored the tellingpoints . . . Her recording treatsthis mindless ditty as a dreamylove song delivered at a 'TakeYour Time, Handsome, I've GotAll Night' tempo. The effectis startling, to say the least.The members of the subcom-mittee, as they listened to therecord, all had a bemused look,as though they might be think-ing of running away and join-ing the mouseketeers."

Miss London has just dis-patched a copy of "Nice GirlsDon't Stay for Breakfast" toSenators John L. McClellan,Philip A. Hart, Hiram L. Fong,Quentin N. Burdick and HughScott. The LP contains the"Mickey Mouse" single.

McCall at Top 10. The Frankie Laine is top 15.Hal Smith, WMPS, Memphis, confirms that "Soul Finger," Bar -

Kays, Volt, is a pop hit. Like WIBG, CKLW, WMCA, Hal is on"Shake," Otis Redding. He likes "Warm City Baby," Honey Jug,Hip. Jumpers: King Lears; Buckinghams; Miracles; Mojo Men.

Jim Dunlap, WQAM, Miami, reports "You Don't Know Like IKnow," Steve Alaimo, is charted top 10. He confirms the fast take-off on sales on Spanky & Our Gang . . . Jack Peterson of WLLH,Lowell, picked Music Explosion and Fifth Estate . . . Des Allen,KOL, Seattle, reports Booker T. #5 . . . Dick Buckley broke "CarolCartoon," Eyefull Tower, SSS, in Nashville . . . Gene Creasy,WAG, Baltimore, confirms Frankie Valli has a smash . . . Char-lotte's WAYS and WQXI, Atlanta, are on "Carol Cartoon."

"She'd Rather Be With Me," Turtles, should be a winner . . .

"That's Someone," Elvis Presley, is his best in years . . . "Let'sLive," Grass Roots, is getting the big shot . . . We agree withDick Reus that "Give and Take," Mandala, KR, could be one ofthe exciting records and groups of the year.

Are Hit R&B Lyrics Hits To a Pop Audience?Both "Nothing Takes the Place of You," Toussaint McCall, and

"8 Men, 4 Women," 0. V. Wright, Backbeat, are giant R&Bsmashes. They are obviously done in a musical form that is verymuch on the blues side. However, they are hits with adults be-cause of their lyric content. The melody of either song is not aparticularly strong factor in their impact. Both have been provenas strong pop hits in a number of key .markets. If they were donein a pop musical form by a well known adult pop artist, the lyricswould have the same hit sound. Shouldn't top 40 stations considerputting these two records on their adult 9 to 3 p.m. playlist alongwith Roger Williams, Ed Ames, Vic Damone? Perhaps a few top40 stations will try them on "Housewives Request" and be pleas-antly surprised to find these hits please ALL listeners.

By the same token, the lyrics of the R&B smash, "Together,"Intruders, Gamble, is a proven giant with all teens in the city ofphiladelphia, where sales are nearly 25,000. WIBG has played itheavily and WFIL has not touched it. Dean Tyler and WIBG havelived with this market for many years, and they are EXPERTSin the science of programming. This kind of record should beplayed pop in any city after 3 p.m. Any time non -raunchy recordssell from 100,000 to 350,000 copies, they have to have program-ming significance either before or after 3 p.m. Hit song lyricsare not that common or easy to come by, that a programmerlocked in a rating battle can afford to keep them off his airwayson the basis merely of an R&B musical "form."

"California Sunshine Girl," Shackelfords, LHI (sales in Bal-timore, Dallas, Chicago), is getting tremendous promotion, as itwent on WMEX & WRKO, Boston; WIXY, Cleveland; WOHO &WTOD, Toledo; WTAC; WIBG; KOL; KOMA; Tulsa; WNOE &WTIX, New Orleans. Corection: It is WEAM, Washington, thatbroke "Still In Love With You Baby," Kitchen Cinq, LHI. It isclose to 10,000. It sold in S.F., Miami, Detroit.

Tip: Watch for "Gonna Get Away," the Fantasia, Amy, pro-duced by Kama Sutra. This could be a top 5 record!

It looks like "Shake a Tail Feather," James and Bobby Purify,can make it as a Top 10 HUGE record. It is well on its way to300,000 sold . . . Mitch Ryder is well over 1/4 million. Comment:So what is R&B and what is pop in today's market. Thus, withyour hits, the line of demarcation is almost invisible ... Joe Vannhas left CKLW, Detroit, after being mid -morning man for manyyears. News from Scepter

Scepter has picked up the #7 Houston smash, "99th Floor,"Movin' Sidewalks, and the Louisiana hit, "These Were Songs,"Rod Bernard . . . Now that they switched to the "B" side of theB. J. Thomas, "I Can't Help It," many pop stations have gone withthe record.

Ken Burkhardt, General Manager of WQXI, Atlanta, personallycalled Jerry Wexler to congratulate him on producing an R&Brecord so soulful, that WQXI had to go right on "Why Am ITreated So Bad," Sweet Inspirations. It appears that this recordwill follow the meteoric rise of Wexler's Aretha Franklin pro-ductions.

"February Sunshine," Giant Sunflower, Ode, is getting big play. . . "My Girl Josephine," Jerry Jaye, is a national smash . . .

Yardbirds, Tommy James, Parade are all smashes nationally."Funny Feelings," Tom Jones, should be a hit . . . WIBG went

Whatever happened to Thurston Moore's successful "CountryMusic Who's Who"? Bob Shelton's "Country Music Story" is mostcalled -for country printing in available shops. To bad it's notmade available to the country fan. They gobble it up at everyopportunity, which generally is very seldom. The country musicbuff is now sophisticated enough for a realistic approach to thelives of contemporary country. The one shot at "Country Con-fidential" didn't have a chance to be established.

Predicted to Pop: "What Can I Tell The Folks Back Home,"Melba Montgomery; "I Wanna See Nashville," Obriens (Crescen-do) ; "It's Nothing To Me," Sanford Clark (Ramco) ; "Did YouEver Want To?," Lorene Mann (Victor).

Flash: Shackelfords is the Pick at KLIF, Dallas, and went onalmost every station in Texas.

On the phone with Bill Gavin, we learned of a fantastic phe-nomenon released by Ode Records in San Francisco called "SanFrancisco," by Scott McKenzie. With two days' play at KFRC, thebackorders are fantastic and there isn't a record left in the stores.Apparently, the key phrase is "When you come to San Francisco,be sure to wear flowers in your hair."

In this same vein, the first national flower music smash (be-cause of its top quality sound) appears to be "Flower Music," bythe Osmond Brothers, on Uni. These are the clean-cut kids whoachieved fame on the Andy Williams TVer.

Joe Medlin of Brunswick phoned from New Orleans to informthat WNOE from New Orleans and WTIX are now added to theother big pop stations, CKLW-Detroit and WMCA-New York, play-ing the Jackie Wilson, "I've Lost You."

Warner is still besieged by after

Paul Perry effects of that near -fatal 1964 auto accident.What a day it must have been in downtown

Shreveport, La., this past Saturday when the town honored oneof its native sons, David Houston. Most likely Tilman Franks wasa very busy man.
