THERIGHTEOUSBROTHERS

Their bag is "down-home excitement" and Bill

Medley and Bob Hatfield plan to ride the rock

wave Into more TV, movies and major clubs.

ALL ABOUT SOUL. "R & B. is a natu-ral thing for us, man, and if some peoplethink we're putting them on, then I'msorry. I mean that's how it comes out,"said Righteous Brother, Bill Medley, call-ing in from California after an exhaustingrecording session with Phil Spector.

"I know we have a colored sound,"continued Bob Hatfield, and I'll admit thatif there was anything phony about it,we'd never be accepted. But we got ourname really from working in a club inOrange County, California, where coloredfriends would come in and dig us. Youknow, anything that's good to them, theycall righteous. It's like cool. And if theylike you and accept you for yourself, thenyou're a brother. I mean they called usthe righteous brothers."

"The colored people know all aboutsoul and when you're telling the truth,"said Bill. "And we've never had one ofthem tell us what we're doing is a drag.They congratulate us for achieving areally natural sound. Part of it comes forboth of us from just years of listeningto Bobby Bland and James Brown andcats like that.

BLEW BIG CHANCE. "Sure RayCharles had his big moments too. In hisr. and b. days you couldn't beat him.I think he blew a good chance to helphis people and his music when he wentso commercial with the country stuff, butlook, that's up to him. He's still good."

In their days in that little OrangeCounty roadhouse, the boys had justjoined forces. "Billy lived in Santa Anaand I was five miles away in Anaheim,"

4

Bob added. "We both were workingaround with our own groups, Billy singingand playing piano with his combo andI was mostly a singer. We got to knoweach other on this local circuit, discoveredwe had a lot in common with our owntastes and tried going it together."

"That was three years ago just about,"

said Bill "And we started making recordssoon after but nothing ever really hap-pened until we hooked up with PhilSpector. Come to think of it, we wroteall the stuff ourselves until `Lovin' Feelin'.That was done by Phil himself with Barry(Mann) and Cynthia (Weil). And whata hit.

THEIR KIND OF SONG. "You've reallygot to knock your brains out to followup a record like that and we've just comefrom a studio working with Phil on thenext one. With him, well, what can yousay. He's a perfectionist like nobody youknow. Bob and I will think we've gotit, right down, letter perfect and Philwill throw out that take. He'll say, forgetit, it doesn't make it."

"And the arrangement makes it too,"said Bob, picking up the story. "The songis the kind of thing we've wanted to find,but the arrangement is so important. Youknow, over in England they said it wasa whole conglomeration of sound andnothing would happen. But I think allthe little kids must have made it for us.The underdog psychology maybe. Any-way, we made number one over there too.We beat out Cilla Black. She made theside and tried to come close to our ar-rangement. But man, I don't think her'sreally came off. She hit the notes allright but she was a little squeaky in thetop end. When we were in England, theBeatles told us they liked our record bet-ter even if Cilla was one of Brian's (Ep-stein) girls."

VOWS NEVER AGAIN. Last summer,the Righteous Brothers, were one of thealmost forgotten "other" acts on theBeatles American tour, for which BobHatfield has two words: "Never again.""We had one great night on that tour-probably the highlight of our career," hesaid. "That was the Hollywood Bowl con-cert. We were known there and we were

cooking. We had them really wound up.But the other dates; we'd like to tryto forget them. It was rough, especiallyat the Forest Hills scene in New York.No act can work well under those con-ditions. That was the night that finishedit for us. We got off their train rightthen.

"Of course, the boys themselves arevery nice cats. We travelled on the planewith them and they'd keep to themselvesfor awhile-until somebody would breakout the scotch and the oldies but goodiesrecords, and then things would swing,you know."

"These guys are all pretty nice. They'rejust good cats. About what they do, whatcan you say? They're good, but guys likethe Rolling Stones are doing things we'veheard for years by the real people. It'shard to say the Stones are excellent, forthat reason. They've helped r. and b. inEngland but it may be their own downfallin the long run. They're helping the genu-ine r. and b. artist really get himselfestablished."

DOWN-HOME HICK. "This year," ac-cording to Bill, "Is going to be an r. and b.year and one where if you don't reallyknow how to sing you'll have it veryrough. People like Joe Tex and the Temp-tations are going to be big, and that'sour kind of bag. We like the down-homekick. I really don't know how many whiteartists are up to it now. There aren't thatmany around who are that good.

"The young kids today are differentfrom the days when the pretty boys like

Frankie Avalon were making it. Don't getme wrong, he was good for that timebut I mean today, the kids' blood is justtoo hot. They want excitement. I don'treally understand the 'Shindig' show any-more. They're going to have to have somefresh things happening. When they havenew talent, it should be real talent andthat's not happening right now."

"One group that really does have tal-ent," reflected Bob Hatfield, "Is the BeachBoys. There really isn't too much happen-ing on the Coast now and even the a -Go -Go places have become tourist traps withmediocre talent and high prices. In factif you're too good an act, they don't reallywant you.

TERRIFIC POTENTIAL. "But theBeach Boys have terrific potential. They'resinging down to the little girl with thelollipop in her mouth now, but they havethe ability and potential. We both heardthem rehearsing once for a Shindig showand their harmonies were great. I thinkthese guys can go a long way.

"They get copied a lot and the copierswill get a hit now and then, like 'LittleHonda' by the Hondells and 'New York'sA Lonely Town' by the Trade Winds. Butit's the big one, the boss group, like theBeach Boys who'll stay around."

Recently, Billy and Bob paid a briefvisit to England on behalf of their thenbudding first smash, "You've Lost ThatLovin' Feelin'." Among various things, thetrip was a lesson in how to promote arecord right to the top. In five days there,they did seven major TV appearancesand "hit just about every interview showthere was." Now they'd like to return toEngland but on their terms.

OFFERS DECLINED. "We got the toprecord over there and we already turneddown an offer to go back on a tour withthe Rolling Stones," said Bob. "We wantto do our own tour and the money hasto be right. But we do want to go back.Right now we have a couple of moviescoming up and we'll be acting as well assinging in one of them. But even there,we want to pick and choose what we docarefully. We just turned down a prettytasty five-year offer for pictures. Wedidn't want to be tied down on a singledeal that long.

"We've worked night clubs for a longtime. We'll continue with that but now,frankly, we plan to go for the big circuitin the clubs. On the Coast, we've had abig adult following right along and wewant that to happen all over the country.The night club is one way of going thatroute, if you have the right material.

"Then we'll be coming in to New Yorkin April," to work with Murray Kaufmanon his Easter show," continued Bill. "It'snot the kind of thing that pays very muchbut I'm sure it's worth it just to get theexposure. We'll try it once and do it right."

WOODIES OUT. Bob and Bill both likemost sports and if spare time ever turnsup they're likely to be found out -doorson some sports kick. "In fact, we evensurf," said Bill. We don't have to be upat 6:00 A.M. doing it, like some of thosecharacters. We also don't drive woodiesand we don't have blonde hair. But wedo have a ball man."

New GroupTakes OffThe Ad Libs have hit it big with their first record, "TheBoy From New York City," on the new label, Blue Cat. Afew months ago they didn't even sing together.

NOT FROM NEW YORK. ". . . do wahdiddy . . ." Talk about the group fromNew York City . . . except that the AdLibs are from Bayonne in New Jersey,and got their name from a swinging dis-cotheque in London, England.

Their sound could have come straightout of Berry Gordy's Detroit studios, asthere's more than just a light touch ofrhythm and blues in lyric and arrange-ment.

"Boy From New York City" is a productof the versatile Red Bird company in Man-hattan, and was the initial disc release ontheir new subsidiary label, Blue Cat.

FIRST DISC A HIT. "It's nice to feelthat your first record is also the first hiton a new label", said lead singer and onlygirl, Mary Ann Thomas during a recentMusic Business round table conference."It was encouraging right from the start,because Blue Cat had no other artists toconcern themselves with and were ableto give us their full attention both beforeand after the disc was cut". Mary Annadded that the label had been startedspecifically for the development of newtalent, and it was some six months aftersigning their contract before all was readyfor their first shot in the recording studios.

Other Ad Libs in the five strong groupare Norman Donegan, David Watt, DannyAustin and Hugh Harris. Just last week,there were nearly only four, when MaryAnn discovered a slight growth in herthroat which was affecting her voice, andwas promptly whisked into hospital tohave it removed.

"My throat had been acting up -for awhile", she said. "I thought maybe it wasjust tonsil trouble and didn't give it anyattention. Then, when the record startedhappening and we played more dates itgot worse, so finally I went into the hos-pital and they operated. Now I feel justfine".

During the few days Mary Ann washospitalized, the Ad Libs put in a dep,but luckily, she was in and out in time toopen with the group on the Chuck Berrytour which kicked off a series of dates onFebruary 12.

HELPED BY JOHN TAYLOR. The suc-cess story of the Ad Libs lies with theirclose personal friend, John Taylor. He istheir music director, arranger, a long timejazz musician, and composer of "Boy FromNew York City". It was John who broughtthem together as a group several monthsago, taking them from other outfits thatwere playing in New Jersey. Recently, hebrought them to the attention of BillDowns who is now their manager.

Taylor's profound knowledge of jazz,coupled with the Ad Libs' inbred senseof rhythm produced their current hitsound, but not without much rehearsal.

"We spent a lot of time just practicingchords alone", said Taylor. "Althoughmusically, the group is very talented,there was much rehearsal needed to col-late their different styles. They have astrong jazz feel and one for blues, but Iwouldn't say they're an R & B group.

"Added to this, there isn't really justone lead singer. Every member of theteam is capable of singing lead and does.In their stage act it's not Mary Ann that'sconsistently spotlighted, it's all of them".

THE MODERN SOUND. In most circles,"Boy From New York City" would beconsidered a rhythm and blues orientednumber, but both the Ad Libs and JohnTaylor thinks of it as a pop sound.

Taylor ventured to say, "I think of theAd Libs as modern sounds in music, basedon a beat which has been around thescene for many decades. They can't reallybe labelled-their talent embraces toomany spheres for any one tag".

"We do have an eye on the market",said Mary Ann. "I believe you can do any-thing within limits and still sell records.

"Our big ambition now, is to build upthe versatility of the act to the pointwhere we don't have to rely on our lastrecord for good bookings. Night clubs is amust-we're already working on a clubact. This will be completely different fromwhat we do on one nighters. We're stylingit along the lines of a pop standard aproach with a little jazz thrown in.

"Tours, like the one with Chuck Berry,and the Dick Clark package in April,very important in gaining stage presenand experience and, of course, pubrecognition. But our hit record is help'tremendously".

Shannon's SudsySaks (Soupy) SceneTop disc hits, new songs, foreign tourand lots of TV spark Del's Biggest Year yet

SOUPY'S FLYING PIES. Throwingcream pies is an occupational hazardwhich invariably greets guests on theSoupy Sales TV show in New York. Nowproficient in the art of slapping such pies(made up of shaving cream) directly inthe mugs of his visitors, Mr. Sales, has,by no small coincidence, also picked upincreasingly good rating figures.

It may have been a little unfortunatethat groups like Little Anthony and theImperials and the Shangri-La's got asudsy greeting on recent appearances, butthere's no denying it was worth it forthe exposure.

So was the case with Del Shannon, whoguested on the Soupy Sales show immedi-ately prior to his departure for Englandlast week.

From underneath the mass of suds andfroth, Del mouthed a `hello' and proceededto talk about his success, both old andnew.

"I'm real excited about `Stranger inTown.' It looks like it's going to be my

biggest in a long time. Me and a coupleof the boys wrote it in the car one nightwhen we were on our way down to watcha group."

But it's Del Shannon's previous disc,"Keep Searchin'," another self cleffedcomposition, which may win him his thirdgold disc.

WRITES IN BED. "Keep Searchin',"which Del started writing in the basementof his Detroit home early one night, andcompleted in bed with the aid of a torchat 3 a.m. the same morning, is currentlytop three in England, following a prettysolid chart smack here. Del has alreadyearned a British Silver Disc for it (forsales in excess of 250,000) in England, andis optimistic about its chances of hitting amillion.

Like many other singers from an earliergroove, Del devotes a great deal of timetowards his other activities, such as pub-lishing, song -writing, production and man-agement.

"All my own compositions are publishedby Vicki Music, which my manager IryMichanik owns and in which I have apercentage," he said. "I also have anotherpublishing company, independent produc-tion firm and record label." Del's manage-ment firm handles a young singer calledLloyd Brown whom Del discovered inBattle Creek, Michigan about nine monthsago, put under contract and recorded himindependently with a little number called"I Go To Pieces."

PETER AND GORDON SIDE. "No onewould buy the master," he said. "I hawkedit from one record company to anotherand no one would take it. A little whileafter that, I was on an Australian tourwith Peter and Gordon, and when Peterheard it, he insisted that they record it.That was the first time any other artisthad recorded one of my own composi-tions."

Another first came when Del recentlyappeared on "Shindig." Up until that time,andexperience, he had never appeared on anational TV show. Now he has his heartset on more TV exposure.

Del Shannon kicked off an enormousstring of hits in 1961 with "Runaway,""Hats Off To Larry" and "Little TownFlirt." Even when he ran into a quiettime here about a year ago his discs werestill selling in bulk in places like Englandand Australia. More for fun than anythingelse, he hitched on to the Beatle band-wagon and recorded "From Me To You"at a hilarious and star-studded recordingsession in England which was attendedby such notables as Johnny Tillotson andDusty Springfield. The finished result wasoriginally intended for an album, butwound up as a very successful single.

STRIKES OIL. Towards the summer oflast year, Del Shannon revived JimmyJones' "Handy Man." It was an instanthit, and so was his follow up, "Do YouWanna Dance."

"There was only one problem," saysDel. "They didn't have the minor keychanges I was used to singing. After "DoYou Wanna Dance," I decided to go backto my old style, and wrote "KeepSearchin'."

And if he isn't making enough moneyfrom record royalties and all his outsideinterests, Del recently invested some mon-ey in a Michigan oil well-which struckoil! Now he says he's set to receive any-thing up to $150,000 within the nexttwenty years!

Attendance peak. The ranks of theNational Association of Record Merchan-disers enjoyed a healthy upsurge duringthe 10 months since NARM's last annualconclave in Miami Beach, and more of theassociation's members than ever will berepresented at this week's 1965 conventionin San Francisco.

Despite the fact that 50 manufacturerswill be taking part in the meetings at theFairmont Hotel (February 28 to March 3)for a new high participation level, they'llbe outnumbered for the first time by thenumber of rack firms present.

On convention eve, the final tally show-ed that 58 rack jobbers were to be repre-sented. In addition, the strongest agendaever devised for NARM business sessionswas on the docket. A notable show ofglamour was also in store as the largestturnout of major artists ever to attend thevarious rack convention functions ap-peared a certainty.

New maturity reached. All of thesefactors point to the clear fact that rackjobbing has reached a new high of vitalityand importance in the record sales pictureand that the national rack trade associ-ation, NARM, has achieved a new measureof stature in the record industry.

Almost a year ago, at the last NARMannual get-together, the industry awaitedwith mixed emotions the arrival of themuch-discussed trade practice rules, form-ulated by the Federal Trade Commission.Several months later, those rules werehanded down, and the rack jobbing fra-ternity which had viewed with appre-hension the various possibilities posed tothe field by the rules, breathed easier. Thevalidity of the rack jobbing function inthe disc chain of marketing had beenestablished once and for all.

11

Thus, this year's convention tends to; move into new ground as the rackers, re-

assured as to their proper place in theiiIidii record sales picture, look to their biggest

year ever.

Self -Appraisal. Appropriately, in view:f these developments, the rackers willtake a look at themselves and where theycan improve, under their general con-vention theme, "Appraisal and Assess-ment. What Is Our Worth?"

All the sessions will, in one way orbe devoted to this self -appraisal.

In one of the opening features, StanGortikov, president of Capitol RecordsDistributing, will hold what is billed as a-dialogue" with one of the most activerackers in the field, Charlie Schlang ofMershaw of America. The two will dis-cuss attitudes of manufacturers to rackersand vice versa.

The theme will be further pursued byone of the most imposing arrays of topmanufacturer brass ever to take part ina NARM meeting, who will share thedais with an equally important assemblage

rack jobbers.

All -industry session. Another businesssession will bring together for the firsttine at a rackers' meeting, an all -indus-try panel, spotlighting representatives ofthe dealer distributor, one -stop and man-

acturer element along with rack men-...zemselves. During this session, the mem-bership will hear from such figures asJerry Blaine and Bill Davis for the dis-tributor groups, Sammy Ricklin for theone -stops and a dealer representative yetto be named.

Among the top manufacturer execsparticipating will be Mike Maitland, War-ner Brothers -Reprise; Al Bennett, Liberty;Stan Gortikov, Capitol; Jack Burgess,RCA Victor; Irwin Steinberg, Mercuryand Bill Gallagher, Columbia. The key-note speech will be handled by ArchieBleyer, former head of Cadence Records.

Another first will come when a groupof artists take center stage to discuss theirview of recerd sales and the artist's rela-tionship to those sales. Brian Wilson ofthe Beach Boys, Capitol; John Gary, RCA

COMPOSER'S CHOICE. It is said thatcomposer Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835)once remarked: "If I were shipwreckedat sea, I would leave all the rest of myoperas and try to save Norma"-an expres-sion which it is easy to be in sympathywith, provided you were able to preservealong with it a cast of singers capableof meeting the opera's complex musicaland emotional demands. Were Bellinialive today, it is safe to presume that hewould be quite content to simply pre-serve a copy of the recording at hand.It's that good.

ULTIMATE CHALLENGE. For JoanSutherland, Norma represents her greatestchallenge to date. There are, after all,more than a dozen fine coloratura so-pranos around who can give excellentperformances of, say, a Lucia, or manyother of the great bel canto roles. Normais another matter.

The ideal Norma must have a morethan usual grasp of the ornamental styleof bel canto singing. The role requires avoice of the size, coloring, weight andtexture of a dramatic soprano plus theemotional resources to suggest both "doveand lioness." Another taxing requirementis an almost superhuman control of thebreath. Bellini's melodies are not onlyconstructed of long, long legato phrases,but the burden of the line is shoulderedalmost entirely by the voice. During theset pieces, and even during many of therecitatives, Bellini's orchestration offersonly accompanimental support-the voiceis on its own; showcased and exposed.It is no wonder then, that this centuryhas only produced some half -dozen so-pranos (Rosa Ponselle, Rosa Raisa, GinaCigna, Zinka Milanov, and Maria Callas)either willing or able to assume the roleof Norma. On record we have had, untilnow, only two complete performances ofNorma-both on Angel, both featuringMaria Callas. Now we have Sutherland,on RCA Victor, in as near -perfect a vocalperformance as we're likely to hear fora long time-if ever.

IN GOOD COMPANY. As important tothis opera as the title role itself is therole of Adalgisa-a mezzo-soprano rolewhich frequently invades the high tessi-tura of the soprano. The role is assumedhere by the phenomenal Marilyn Horne,who matches Sutherland note for note,

nuance for nuance in truly bravura style.Miss Horne, an American, has been heardpreviously with Miss Sutherland on Lon-don's "Age of Bel Canto," and is currentlyrepresented by her first solo recital album(also on London), "Presenting MarilynHorne." Hers will undoubtedly go downas one of the great voices of this century.Metropolitan tenor John Alexander isheroic in the role of Pollione, and conduc-tor Richard Bonynge turns in one of hisfinest performances to date.

There are a few technical "extras" of-fered on this recording which are note-worthy. When Bellini wrote the operawith Giuditta Pasta in mind for the title

role, the diva's difficulty with some of themusic required downward transpositions,which have been observed since. In thisperformance Norma's Casta diva and thetwo duets for Norma and Adalgisa arerestored to their original keys. For allintents and purposes, the score is per-formed in its entirety-as well as cculdbe practically discerned from the com-poser's autograph.

As Mr. Bonynge points out in his il-luminating notes in the accompanyingbooklet: "The singer who can be a com-plete Norma probably has never existed-maybe never will exist." Well, say we,perfection is notoriously dull.

CLASSIC BEAT

Gloria in Ex-Szell-sisby BARRY KITTLESON

George Szell and hisCleveland Orchestra cometo Manhattan once a yearfor three concerts at Carne-gie Hall. It is always anoccasion, and is invariablysold out months in advance.This year, the first of thesethree concerts, given on Feb-ruary 8, was more than theusual occasion. It was, forthose present, one of thosehistoric occasions whensomething beyond compre-hension take hold -call itchemistry or what you will-this specific performancewas one of such magnifi-cence that it left one breath-less. At the expense of shar-ing the joy of appreciation,let me quote from AlanRich's review of the concertin the New York HeraldTribune: "The performanceof Beethoven's Ninth Sym-phony that George Szellconducted in Carnegie Halllast night was one of thislistener's great experiencesin a lifetime of concert -going. It was a realizationof Beethoven's sovereignscore as close to ideal asone could ever dare todream of hearing." It couldnot have been put moresuccinctly.

From the performance ofBeethoven's Symphony No.1 which preceded the inter-mission, it was obvious thatthings were in exceptionallyaware hands, but who couldhave hoped for what fol-lowed? The mighty Ninthis so problematic that, atbest, one can only hope tobe exposed to its complex-ity. But to find a solution?Never!

Somehow Szell has founda thread; a line which canbe carried through the fourmovements. Everything wasso carefully proportioned -the musical idea to themovement; the movementto the complicated whole!For once the sum of theparts neither exceeded norfell short of that whole.Soloists Saramae Endich,Jane Hobson, Ernst Haef-liger and Justino Diaz withthe Cleveland OrchestraChorus directed by RobertShaw all exceeded them-selves.

It was a performance thelikes of which one rarelyencounters. As the last greatchords rang through thehall the audience sprang toits feet in the wildest unisondisplay of enthusiasm youcould imagine. I have neverattended a concert any-where when at least two orthree dozen patrons didn'thastily leave the hall at theconclusion of the perform-ance. On this evening, no-body . . . but nobody lefttheir place.

Good Guy CallasSome years ago, Angel

tried radio as an ad mediumfor opera -selecting, natu-rally, a "good music" sta-tion. They got some fifteenpost -card replies; enough tosour anyone! But enterpris-ing N. Y. district promotionmanager, Tom Rogan, con-vinced the powers -that -be totry it his way . . . usingpop -format station WMCA,in promoting the MariaCallas "Carmen" set. For aperiod of two weeks WMCAwill run 45 one -minute spots(playing the "Habanera" inbackground) and ask listen-ers to tell them why Mme.Callas should be nominateda WMCA "Good Guy" andreceive her sweatshirt.Awards are two pair oftickets to the Met, a stereoconsole with AM -FM radio,copies of "Carmen," and, ofcourse, "Good Guy" sweat-ers. Heaviest concentrationof spots is on the JoeO'Brien show (6-10 a.m.).

After just four days, over700 post cards had been sentin. A sample response: "Inominate Maria Callas asa WMCA 'Good Guy' be-cause she brought to operawhat the Beatles brought topopular music - excitement,drama, publicity, good mu-sicianship, and most of all,entertainment to the pub-lic." Yeah, yeah, yeah!Might we add that she'd domuch more for her sweat-shirt than John, Paul,George or Ringo. And there-in lies the basis for our re-quest: when the Mme. ar-rives in New York nextmonth for two perform-ances at the Met . . . willshe kindly model it?

JIM REEVES

LIVES AGAININ

"KIMBERLEY JIM"More than 18 months ago, a

troupe of recognized Nashvillemusic makers set out for SouthAfrica. The aim: to bring thepeople who had made countrymusic a major factor on themusic scene in that distantland, in the flesh to the recordbuyers and fans.

Joining in the jaunt wereChet Atkins, famed guitaristand a. & r. man; Floyd Cramer,whose unique style becameknown as "Floyd Cramerpiano," and the late JimReeves.

Though all three were giventhe most enthusiastic kind ofreception, Jim Reeves madethe major impression, so muchso that the singer with thevelvety vocal chords was sooncast in the lead role of a motionpicture filmed entirely in SouthAfrica.

The picture, "KimberleyJim," was a musical saga ofthe Kimberley diamond regionat the turn of the century andbrought Jim Reeves his firststarring role in a film, that ofJim Madison, an American ad-venturer working Kimberley,using poker and patentmedicine as his get -rich -quicktools.

The balance of the cast, allSouth Africans, included CliveParnell, Arthur Swemmer,Madeleine Usher and a host ofothers. The movie finds Reevesvery much at home in astraight drama role and in thebrace of fine songs he sings. Itproved a winner there and atthe time of Reeves death lastJuly 31 in a plane crash nearNashville, negotiations had al-ready commenced for a secondfilm to star Jim Reeves.

Shortly before his death, inan exclusive interview withMusic Business, Reeves alsotold of plans to release "Kim-berley Jim" in America. Thathas now come to pass, throughthe American firm, EmbassyPictures in New York.

The movie, according to cur-rent plans, will be released inthe United States on a stag-gered series of playdates start-ing in mid -March and continu-ing through April, May andJune.

Thus, Jim Reeves lives againfor the enjoyment of hismany fans, and Music Business,herewith, presents a series ofadvance prints of scenes from"Kimberley Jim."
