Pepper Sales Mgr. InCapitol ON Expansion

NEW YORK - Plans for afull-scale sales and marketingexpansion in the booming coun-try-and-western field by CapitolRecords Distributing Corp. wererevealed this week by WilliamB. Tallant, Jr., VP and NationalSales Manager, CRDC.

Cornerstone of the campaignis the appointment of WadePepper to the newly createdposition of CRDC Country/Western Sales Manager.

Pepper, long - time Capitolsales and promo executive, willheadquarter in Capitol's Nash-ville offices, where he will assumeresponsibility for sales and pro-motion of all C&W product,both singles and albums.

Pepper, currently headquar-tered in New York as CRDC'sSingles Sales and Promotionmanager, will leave for Nashvilleearly next month. A successorfor Pepper as single -record saleschief, will be announced in thenear future, according to Tal-lant. It is possible he will comefrom the West Coast.

Pepper joined CRDC 14 yearsago as a salesman in his home-town of Huntington, W. Va.Three years laterPittsburgh in a similar capacity,and shortly thereafter to At-lanta, where he served for twoyears as Branch Sales Managerand for eight years as DistrictSales Manager. He becamesingles sales -and -promotion man-ager in May, 1964.

During his 10 years in At-lanta, Pepper dealt extensivelywith C&W stations and dealersthroughout the South. A mem-ber of the Country Music Asso-ciation, he is regarded as anexpert in the C&W field.

Market Growth Evident"Growth of the market has

been evident for some time,"Tallant said. "Large Northerncities such as Chicago withWJJD, Los Angeles with KGBSand Newark with WJRZ, havebeen highly successful and haveshown that C&W is not justmusic for one section of thecountry or for small towns.Sales have been another keyfactor. Today, top C&W artistslike Buck Owens sell better thanmany pop stars.

"We have felt that the salesand potential of our C&W acts,and the introduction of newC&W artists, could be greatlyfacilitated if we had a concen-trated effort-and the only, placethat effort could come fromwould be the heart of the busi-ness, Nashville."

Wade PepperCap C/W Sales Manager

Tallant also said that Pepper'snew duties would take him intopop markets in an attempt to getairplay for C&W product onthose stations. It was Pepperwho first succeeded in securingTop 40 airplay for Buck Owens,Sonny James and many otherCapitol C&W artists.

Pepper pointed out that theC&W market has changed radi-cally since he first entered it."In the past few years, the LPhas been accepted by C&Wbuyers and a new type of pro-gramming has been developed-top 40 type tight formats-bythe new C&W stations."

Pepper said he would spenda good deal of his time activelyworking with CRDC field person-nel on specific country titles,current artists, and in tryingto establish new stars for thelabel.

RECORD WORLD—January 22, 1966 3

Buck Owens'Big Months

BY DOUG McCLELLAND

NEW YORK - The nextcouple of months are going tobe mighty big ones, even forBuck Owens.

In town last week to buy aRolls Royce and do "The JimmyDean Show" (for Jan. 21), thechart -busting country star fromBakersfield, Calif. (he's neverrecorded in Nashville) toldRecord World all about it.

Buck Owens Month

First, and foremost, CapitolRecords is setting Buck OwensMonth for February, with somevery nice things in store forBuckophiles who long ago beganspreading to the pop scene ingreat number. There will be anew album by Buck, "Roll Outthe Red Carpet," comprisingmostly original tunes mostlyby Buck; and another LP called"Buck Owens' Songbook," fea-turing Owens favorites as doneby his Buckaroos.

Capitol, of course, will havean all-out campaign for BuckOwens Month-he had anotherMonth only last August thatproved a boon for all. (Label'sKen Nelson records him.)

Early in April, Buck will starthis first starring feature film,"Walk Proudly, Young Man,"to be distributed by UniversalPictures.

"It's my first real actingpicture," Buck explained, "al-though I sang in a movie once.This is a dramatic role, aboutan entertainer and his strugglesto make it and the character'sname is Toad Williams. WhenI first heard that name, I saidthat's gotta go. But I thoughtabout it for a while, and nowthe name seems okay. The pic-ture will be filmed in New Mex-ico and will be in color. I'll singabout a half -dozen songs, too."

On the subject of songs,songstress Jody Miller (also ofCapitol) has just recorded 13Buck Owens songs, 12 for anLP, one for a single. Owensalso has an unusual packagecoming up in April, an albumof 12 original songs of inspira-tion-"Not too bad, doing threealbums in four months." He alsohas "Before You Go" (as wellas "Instrumental Hits of BuckOwens and the Buckaroos").Buck's newest single is "Waitin'in Your Welfare Line," his pre-vious and still hot one, "Buck-aroo."

His Christmas deck, "SantaLooked a Lot Like Daddy," wasone of the top Yule sidings. Hewrote it with Don Rich.

Staying Home MoreHe insists, though, that he's

more selective and is spend-ing much more time at homethese days, a ranch in Bakers-field. "We get to be therewith the family quite often. Oneyear we were away about 300days. Last year we workedabout 100."

Buck's 17 -year -old son Buddy(one of three Owens children)recently wowed 8700 fans backhome in a Marine Corps "Toysfor Tots" joint benefit with dad,the lad's first public perform-ance. Did he have his father'sblessing for a show biz career?

"Not really," Buck said. "I'drather see him become a lawyeror doctor. But I think it maybe too late. I think he's got thebug."

Cahn at ABC (Continued from page 3) Joining the record business in

1952 with Raymond Rosen, the RCA Victor distrib in Philadel-phia, Cahn stayed in that posi-tion until 1960, when he left to join Cameo - Parkway as Na-tional Sales Manager, where he remained until he went to Kapp in 1963. While with Cameo, Cahn enjoyed the highly success-ful record by Chubby Checker, "The Twist," among others. Newton said, "I know that

with Allan Cahn's experience and progressive thinking behind our album division we can look forward to a rewarding future for our product." "I believe the record industry

hasn't begun to tap the vast con-sumer market," said Cahn. "The magnitude of ABC-Paramount's organization offers a tremendous challenge and opportunity, and I am anxious to be instrumental in developing it to its full po-tential. I believe this should be done by the acquisition and de-velopment of talent and artists through product." Cahn will be introduced to

distributors at ABC- P a r a-mount's convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico, beginning on Jan. 19.

RCA Giant Push on SSgt. SadlerRCA Victor Records is kick-

ing off 1966 with a new andunique artist, Barry Sadler,who will be given one of themost extensive all-out cam-paigns in label history.

Staff Sergeant Barry Sadleris 25, a member of the U.S.Army Special Forces' GreenBerets, a veteran of Viet Nam. . . and his face appears on thecover w over 1.5 million paper-

back copiesof "The GreenBerets."

But SSgt.Sadler isalso some-thing more.He is a com-poser andsinger, a n dhas has re-corded an al-

bum of his own compositions,inspired by his tour of dutyin Viet Nam. Entitled "Bal-lads of the Green Berets," thealbum will be on the marketby the end of January. Asingle, "The Ballad of theGreen Berets," b/w "Letterfrom Viet Nam," was releasedlast week.

The sessions were held inRCA Victor's Studio A onSaturday, Dec. 18, and wereattended by key executives ofthe Record Division. By 11p.m. that night the album, pro-duced by Andy Wiswell witharrangements by Sid Bass, wascompleted. Top level confer-ences were held during theweek that followed to map outan intricate advertising, pro-motion and press strategy.

First on the agenda was a"teaser" mailing and trade adcampaign. A promo kit whichincludes a biography, pictures,album information and a bro-chure on the U.S. Army Spe-cial Forces is being mailed toradio stations, members of thepress, one -stop and ops. A full-scale trade and consumer ad-vertising program commenceson Jan. 17.

Avon, publisher of "TheGreen Berets" in paperback,has arranged that a picture ofthe RCA album and credit linebe included in all future print-ings of the book. In return, a

mention of the Avon book ismade on the liner of the al-bum. In addition, RCA Victoris supplying extra quantitiesof mounted album covers toAvon, which will ship them di-rect to book stores and out-lets.

Wrote on DutySSgt. Sadler wrote his songs

while on duty in South VietNam in recent years. Entirelyself-taught in music, Sadlersings of the pleasures (few),the perils (many) and the dan-ger (unending) of service in theArmy's Green Berets in SouthViet Nam.

Sadler is alive today only be-cause of the rigorous trainingof the Special Forces (his spe-cialty was medics). Late lastspring, while leading a smallcombat patrol, he fell into amantrap and a pungi stake (apoisoned spear made of sharp-ened bamboo) plunged into hisleg. He operated on himself,draining the wound betweenfainting spells, and was ulti-mately found and carried tosafety.

Once back in the States, Sad-ler contacted a music pub-lisher to whom he had givenhis first song, "The Ballad ofthe Green Berets," the year be-fore. He now had with hima sheaf of new songs.

By chance, the publisher wasa friend of the author of "TheGreen Berets" who was look-ing for a model to pose as a"Green Beret" for the coverillustration of the then forth-coming Avon paperback editionof the book. As a result, it isBarry's face that appears onthe cover.

In natural sequence, Sadlerwas brought to the attentionof RCA Victor and was im-mediately put under contractand recorded.

Sadler is scheduled to makehis first national television ap-pearance Sunday, Jan. 30, on"The Ed Sullivan Show" overCBS -TV. A promotional tourwill be arranged as soon asSSgt. Sadler can be tempor-arily freed from his duties atFt. Bragg, N. C.

Seeburg Acquires Gulbransen Co. CHICAGO — The Seeburg

Corporation has announced the acquisition of the Gulbransen Company, Melrose Park, Ill., leading manufacturer of pianos and organs. Delbert W. Coleman, chair-

man of Seeburg, and Sidney M. Katz, president of Seeburg Musical Instruments Division, said that the acquisition was accomplished through purchase of the majority of the outstand-ing capital stock of Gulbran-sen. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. "This move," Katz stated,

"continues the diversification of Seeburg in the musical in-strument field. The acquisition of Gulbransen, a very well-known and respected name in piano and organ manufacture, gives Seeburg a firm position in these markets." Katz noted that this is the

latest in a series of moves de-signed to broaden and diversify Seeburg's operations in the mu-sical instrument industry.

'Music City U.S.A.'

Record World Co-stars in FilmBY DAVE FINKLE

NEW YORK -A new colorfilm feature called "Music CityU. S. A.," concerning a deejay'svisit to Nashville during theCountry Music Festival, is justabout to be released.

To get the lowdown, RecordWorld, which plays an impor-tant part in the picture, talkedlast week to Preston Collins, thefilm's director and partner inGemini Pictures, Inc.

"We wanted to make a lowbudget country/western movie,"Collins explained, "and when weheard the disk jockey conventionwas coming up, we thought thetime was right. In about twoweeks' time we organized whatwe had to and went down tofilm. We lined up a lot of artists,gave them a sequence breakdownand shot."

The sequence breakdown wasthe closest Collins and associatesgot to a script, since they feltthat it was nonsensical to saddleNashvillians with what wouldprobably come out as cornponedialog. Instead, they let the per-formers express themselves asthey saw fit.

The freedom, Collins felt, wasalso in keeping with the loosestory line of "Music CityU. S. A." It deals with therounds T. Tommy Cutrer makeson a return to Nashville during

the deejay convention. Thecamera follows him as he goesto Roy Acuff's museum, the newColumbia studios, Ernest Tubb'srecord shack and runs into suchcountry artists as Webb Pierce,Autry Inman, Jean Shepard,Justin Tubb, Hilles Buttram,Jimmy Newman, the OsborneBrothers, the Wilburn Brothers,Dave Dudley, Lorene Mann,Loretta Lynn, Warner Mack,Bob Jennings and newcomerWarren Haas.

In addition to performers,there were many country diskjockeys used as extras. Collinsestimated that about 100 wereincorporated into various seg-ments.

Soundtrack LP?

(Right now Gemini is lookinginto the possibility of releasinga soundtrack from the pic. Des-pite the various contractualconflicts, Collins said that heexpected few obstacles and wasoptimistic about an eventualelpee.)

One of the lengthiest segmentsin the movie is Cutrer's drop inat the presentation of the annualRecord World country awardspresided over by Record Worldpublisher Bob Austin.

Gemini will handle distribu-tion of the film and expects to

slate playdates in the south(with an important Nashvilleopening) as of the release andthen slot Northern houses asspring comes in.

In the meantime, the produc-ing firm is going to go back intoproduction in February on an-other movie-this time with amore dramatic tale to tell. Col-lins wouldn't divulge any of theparticulars, but he said the ideawas a doozy and everybodywho'd heard about it flipped.

More Nashville Filming?

"I want to make one morelow budget movie in Nashville,before Hollywood moves in. AndI have the feeling they're goingto." (In the new movie, Collinsagain will use a large numberof performers doing their stuff-around 10 this time.)

One of the reasons Collins isanxious to go back to Nashvilleis to work with the people there."I can't praise them enough,"he said. "They're all pros. Theydo their job and go home. Thereare no temperaments to contendwith. Our shooting schedule oftwo weeks or so inflicted heavypressures, but during that timeI never heard a voice raised.It's all business there and I

loved it."

R A B WHERE IT'S AT

E

BY KAL RUDMAN

O. C. White, P.D. of WAWA, Milwaukee, tells me that he has followed the example of Ken Reeth at WAMO, Pittsburgh, and gone 24 hours R&B on FM. They sold a lot of FM sets, and have a fantastic audience. The first Nara News just came out. It reports the fol-

lowing: The convention will be held in N.Y.C. Aug. 11-14. For the first tiine there will be product display and exhibits

from radio-TV advertisers. Bill Summers and Jack Walker are developing new ideas for the convention. Ed Wright and Buzzy Willis will spend the

month of January visiting L.A., S.F., Hous-ton, Atlanta, Chicago, Norfolk, Va., and Lou-isiana to investigate local problems. Joe Medlin of Atlantic Records promised that membership will double by August. There have been drastic changes in the operations

of local chapters. Frank Mancini, Promotion Head of MGM. is chairman of the NARA Awards Committee. Jimmy Bishop and Del Shields head the new Insurance and Investment Com-mittee. The Project Planning Committee includes Ewart Ab-ner of Vee-Jay, Tommy Small, WLIB; Herb Campbell, KSOL; Johnny Rosica, Promo Head of RCA; Max Cooperstein, Head of Chess. Scholarship Awards Committee includes Georgie Woods; John Richbourg; Bill Summers. Special Projects Com-mittee is Boo Fraser of Vee-Jay and Chuck Chellman of Monu-ment. Station Management Relations is: Rocky Groce, W WRL, Chairman; Jerry Thomas; Bill Williams; Al Garner; Bill Sum-mers; Jimmy Bishop. The Convention Committee is Bill Sum-mers; Novella Smith (KPRC-TV) ; and Bob Layne. Jack Holmes will run the convention program. Convention Planning is by Frank Mancini; John Rosica; Tommy Smalls; Jack Walker. Etertainment Committee is: Warren Lanier of Kent; Joe Bon-ner, Decca; Bert Keys; and (yeah) E. Rodney Jones (yeah). Golf is Kae Williams; Larry McKinley and Larry Maxwell (the "whole in wun" kid). Women's Activities is Martha Jean Steinberg, WCHB, and Barbara Turney, WDIA. Chaplains are George Nelson, Houston; John Phillips, L.A.;

Beatrice Elmore, Philadelphia. NARA Program Development Committee is Ed Wright; Ken Knight; E. Rodney Jones; Del Shields; and Robert (B.Q.) Burris. Ken Knight, Head of the Finance Committee, reports all bills are now paid and up to date! The Board gave Wright a full vote of confidence. Sum-mers is doing a great job of preparing minutes and records of the convention. Every week another R&B producer comes up with a giant.

Just this past week, 011ie McLaughlin of Detroit (who has Barbara Lewis) presented us with the hottest new record of the year: "Love Makes The World Go Round," Deon Jackson, Atco, which is a giant in Detroit, broke wide open in Philadel-phia in one day; a smash in Cleveland, etc. I have some imnortant news notes: Bill Curtis leaves WUFO,

Buffalo, to join WCHB, Detroit, in the 4-8 p.m. spot left open by LeBaron Taylor (who joined Ernie Durham at WJLB). . . . Larry Daly left WCIN, Cincinnati to replace Kae Williams on the wake-up show on WDAS, Philadelphia . . . Tom Reed (of Kansas City) is the new morning man at WJLB, Detroit . . . Top side on the Jr. Walker is, "Baby, You Just Ain't Right" . Ton side emerging on the Mary Wells is "Dear Lover." Iry Beigel is very excited about the reaction to "To Win

Your Heart," Laura Lee, on Ric-Tic label. Feels he has a Top 10 record. Al Jefferson of W WIN-Baltimore called to say he is playing

the following records heavily: Van Dykes, Amy: Ad Libs, Blue Cat; Shirley Vaughn; Googie Rene; Sonny Forrest; "Dear Lover," Mary Wells, Ate(); Gino Parks, Golden World; Wayne Anthony, Roulette; Lowell Fulsom, Kent; June Adams, Rou-lette. Al says the top band in the Manhattans' LP is "That New Girl."

E A

BY I L RUDMAN

O. C. White, P.D. of WA WA, Milwaukee, tells me that he has followed the example of Ken 'teeth at WAMO, Pittsburgh, and gone 24 hours R&D on FM. They sold a lot of FM sets, and have a fantastic audience. The first Nara News just came out. It reports the fol-

lowing: The convention will be held in N.Y.C. Aug. 11-14. For the first time there will be product display and exhibits

from radio-TV advertisers. Bill Summers and Jack Walker are developing new ideas for the convention. Ed Wright and Buzz' Willis will spend the

month of January visiting L.A., S.F., Hous-ton, Atlanta. Chicago, Norfolk, Va., and Lou-isiana to investigate local problems. Joe Medlin of Atlantic Records promised that membership will double by August. There have been drastic changes in the operations

of local chapters. Frank Mancini, Promotion Head of MGM, is chairman of the NARA Awards Committee. Jimmy Bishop

and Del Shields head the new Insurance and Investment Com-mittee. The Project Planning Committee includes Ewart Ab-ner of Vee-Jay, Tommy Small, WLE13; Herb Campbell, KSOL: Johnny Rosica, Promo head of RCA; Max Ceoperstein, Head of Chess. Scholarship Awards Committee includes Georgie Woods; John ltichbourg; Bill Summers. Special Projects Com-mittee is Boo Fraser of Vee-Jay and Chuck Chellman of Monu-ment Station Management Relations is: Rocky Grove, W WRL, Chairman; Jerry Thomas; Bill Williams; Al Garner; Bill Sum-mers; Jimmy Bishop. The Convention Committee is Bill Sum-mers; Novella Smith (KPRC-TV); and Bob Layne. Jack Holmes will run the convention program. Convention Planning is by Frank Mancini; John Resica; Tommy Smalls; Jack Walker. Etertainment Committee is: Warren Lanier of Kent; Joe Bon-ner, Decca; Bert Keys; and (yeah) E. Rodney Jones (yeah). Golf is Rae Williams: Larry McKinley and Larry Maxwell (the "whole in wu n" kid). Women's Activities is Martha Jean Steinberg. WCIIB, and Barbara Turney, WDIA. Chaplains are George Nelson, Houston: John Phillips, L.A.;

Beatrice Elmore, Philadelphia. NARA Program Development Committee is Ed Wright: Ken Knight; E. Rodney Jones; Del Shields: and Robert (B.(,).) Burris. Ken Knight. Head of the Finance Committee, reports all bills are now paid and up to date! The Board gave Wright a full vote of confidence. Sum-mers is doing a great job of preparing minutes and records of the convention. Every week another R&D producer comes up with a giant.

Just this past week, 011ie McLaughlin of Detroit (who has Barbara Lewis) presented us with the hottest new record of the year: "Love Makes The World Go Round," Deon Jackson, Atco. which is a giant in Detroit, bro ke wide open in Philadel-phia in one day; a smash in Cleve lan d, etc.

I have some important news notes: Bill Curtis leaves WUFO, Buffalo. to join WCIIB, Detroit. in the 4-8 p.m. spot left open by LeBaron Taylor (who joine d Ern ie Durham at \ MEL... Larry Daly left WCIN, Cincinnati to replace Rae Williams on the wake-up show on WDAS, Philadelphia .. . Tom Reed (of Kansas City) is the new morning man at WJLB, Detroit . . . Top side on the Jr, Walker is, "Baby, You Just Ain't Right" ... Ton side emerging on the Mary Wells is "Dear Lover." Iry Beigel is iiery excited about the reaction to "To Win

Your Heart," Laura Lee, on Ric-Tic label. Feels he has a Top 10 record. Al Jefferson of WiVIN-Baltimore called to say he is playing

the following records heavily: Van Dykes. Amy: Ad 'Jibs, Blue Cat; Shirley Vaughn; Googie Rene; Sonny Forrest; "Dear Lover," Mary Wells, Atco: Gino Parks, Golden World; Wayne Anthem', Roulette; Lowell Fulsom, Kent: June Adams, Rou-lette. Al says the top band in the Manhattans' LP is "That New Girl."

Patton- Weinrib Pick Wax Corners For Their Pix HOLLYWOOD —Being able

to pick the corners in the rec-ord business and feature them in their films is credited by Bart Patton and Lennie Wein-rib for a great measure of the success of their motion pic-ture production company. Producer Patton, 26, and

director Wein-rib,30, formed their produc-tion company Patton - Wein-rib Produc-tions in 1964 and today are one of the hot-test young producer - di-tor teams in

the film business.

Both have had plenty of previous show biz experience, Patton in acting and Weintrib as writer-comedian-actor. Both got their basic training in mo-tion picture making at UCLA. Their first picture was

Claude King Pic NASHVILLE — Claude King,

country chanter from Louisiana, journeyed to Hollywood this week for more talks about his upcoming movie debut, accord-ing to Buddy Lee, King's agent and president of Buddy Lee Enterprises. Lee said present plans for the

movie include extensive acting, as well as singing chores, and should be a great challenge for King. While in Hollywood, he will film repeat appearances on the Lloyd Thaxton and Dick Clark shows.

Also promised every year for the past half-decade is "Say It with Music," an MGM proj-ect with a rash of Irving Ber-lin tunes. As usual, it is an-nounced as "starting soon," featuring what ever stars hap-pen to be hottest at the mo-ment. The Beatles? Their next UA

Money Music Len Barry, and Back Again

The record reviewer for Time magazine now covers pop rec-ords. He likes James Brown, the Famous Flames and con-cedes that Brown's voice has "banked fires." He noted that Brown is a "regular in the R&B Honor Roll." This critic likes the "excellent" voice of Tom Jones. He feels that the Righteous Brothers are the "foremost white singers of R&B," but ob-serves on "Ebb Tide" they are "swept away by Wagnerian passions," and "the singing is all but drowned out by a sym-phonic surge apparently recorded in an oceanic cave." He finds the "sledge-hammer drums and music of the D.C. 5 a drag." Ramsey Lewis' "Hang on Sloopy" is "slurpy."

This "analyst" of "Low-Camp Champ Chansons" reserves his most trenchant, satirical barbs for Len Barry and "Like a Baby" He describes Len as a "wavy-haired high tenor hit-maker from Philadelphia who specializes in puppy love lieder." The lyric of "Like a Baby" is summarized as being about a girl who smiles just like a baby, feels just like a baby in his arms and makes him cry just like a baby. (All the way to the bank, sir.) What gets me is how these "critics" blow their minds about some of those "great" songs you find in Broadway shows. It is easy to ridicule what you don't understand!

The big, widespread pop play nationally is on the following records: The Toys; Paul Revere; Johnny Rivers; Herman's Her-mits; Tom Jones; Beach Boys; Tijuana Brass; Ray Charles; Mike Douglas; Pet Clark; Stevie Wonder; Len Barry; Chris Montez; Supremes; Frank Sinatra; Barbra Streisand; Dionne Warwick; Fontella Bass; C.O.D.'s; Bobby Goldsboro; and Elvis Presley. Here are some details on the market breakdowns: "Attack," Toys in N.Y., Boston; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh;

Washington-Baltimore; (Top 10 in Baltimore), Minneapolis; Buf-falo; Milwaukee; Seattle; Cincinnati; Miami; New Orleans; Portland; Louisville; Dayton; Columbus; Memphis; Norfolk; Rochester; Hartford; Syracuse; Youngstown and you name it. "Just Like Me," Paul Revere, Columbia, is Top 10 L.A.; Top

5 S.F.; Top 10 in Miami, Sacramento, Rochester, Memphis, Phoenix, Cleveland; Tops in Louisville; going in Buffalo, Seattle, Cinc., Denver, N. Orleans, Portland, San Bernardino, Dayton, Indianapolis, San Antonio, Ft. Worth, Akron; and is a smash in Providence. "Under Your Spell," Johnny Rivers, is Top 10 in Houston,

Detroit and Memphis; and going great in L.A., Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Buffalo, Kansas City, N. Orleans, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Birmingham, Norfolk, Syracuse, Oklahoma City, etc. "Are You There," Dione Warwick, Scepter, is Top 5 in De-

troit; Top 10 in Baltimore-Washington; Top 15 in Minneapolis; giant in Birmingham; going in St. Louis, N.Y., Buffalo, N. Orleans, Rochester, Norfolk, Oklahoma City, Houston, Dallas. So far, it still hasn't gotten that important KYA, San Francisco, chart spot. "Lightnin' Strikes," Lou Christie, MGM, is now #1 in L.A.;

Hartford, Sacramento etc. It is a smash in S.F.; Ft. Worth, Boston and other pop strongholds. "Recovery," Fontella Bass, Checker, is a big followup to "Rescue

Me" with smash action in Dallas and Youngstown; and it is going great in N.Y.C., Philadelphia, L.A., Boston, Chicago, Louis-ville, Birmingham, Rochester, Baltimore-Washington, Detroit, etc. "Call Me," Chris Montez, A&M, is Top 10 in Detroit and

6 LPs in Audio Fis New Look NEW YORK — Herman D.

Gimbel, President of Audio Fidelity Records, is bringing forth a new look for the label. As part of the already-estab-

lished expansion program, he is going on an all-out campaign to expand the LP catalog. He is going to present more diver-sified types of music and sounds in conjunction with ac-quiring new artists for both the Audio Fidelity and Karate labels. The company is presenting

six LPs. On the Audio Fi label, Pat

Dahl, London entertainer, pre-sents her first LP on the Amer-ican scene. Glenda Grainger, another British songstress re-cently signed, offers her new single, "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," from the UA picture, "Thunderball." A group from London, whose first album in the US is stirring excitement, is Brian Poole and the Treme-loes; and because of the suc-cess of their album, the firm has just released two singles by the group. A new group, the Caliente Brass, have an LP, too. The Shakers, a South American click, present their first LP, "The Shakers Break It All." Audio Fi's entry into the

singles field was made through Karate, also being expanded. New artists on Karate include Dave Curtiss and the Tremors, from England, who give their updated version of "Que Sera Sera." Another new single: "Please Don't Go," the Splen-dors. Barry Oslander, A and R Di-

rector, is working closely with numerous independent pro-ducers, including Ulpio Min-ucci of Ulsyra Productions, and Steve Verroca is no new-comer to charts; nor is Hank Hunter, whose recent LP with Audio Fidelity was "Introduc-ing Bob Braun." Shelley Haim.s rounds off the picture by bring-ing in material from Detroit.

South Mountain Acquires Fling

NEW YORK — South Moun-tain Music has acquired Fling Music, according to Stan Catron General Professional Manager of South Mountain. Dennis Lambert and Lou

Courtney, former execs of Fling, will continue their association with the firm as exclusive writers. Catron will direct Fling's administrative functions. He will be assisted by Eddie Lambert.

LUCY LEE—Shalomar 101. New singing discovery Lucy

shows her talents on two good ballads here.

Attention D.J.'s & Distribs. All Inquiries:

SHALOMAR MUSIC, SUITE 520 6 Beacon Street Boston, Mass.

British Decca Pubbery Chief Here John Nice, manager of Bur-

lington and Palace Music Com-panies Ltd., publishing subsi-diaries of the Decca Record Company Ltd. in Great Britain, will arrive in New York Wed-nesday (19) for his first visit to the United States. The visit highlights the ex-

panding international publishing operations of the Decca-affiliated firms. The British-based com-panies handle English and con-tinental European rights to song material from many prominent American publishers. Nice, who will be in America

for two weeks, will spend his first four days in New York in consultations with Miami Trepel, manager of the related Burling-ton (ASCAP) and Felsted (BMI) U. S. publishing sub-sidiaries of London Records,

that I'd like a little more sympathy than I've been getting, I rang my manager Bunny Lewis who'd just come back from a skiing holiday in Italy, and on injecting as much agony as I could muster into the telling of the story, I was shattered by Bunny's reply of "Well, one of those things, huh?"

Mind you, what I didn't realize was that at the other end of the phone was one Bunny Lewis who was walking around on crutches with a leg in plaster, a tooth missing and a food-poisoned stomach. He told the story without the slightest trace of agony whatsoever, so I said to him, "Well, just one of those things, huh?" I'm still not quite sure who won.

Now, records and charts and things. We've a very talented group that's been on the fringe of things

without ever hitting the highspots for quite some time, but at last they've done it. It's the Spencer Davis Group, and they're up to No. 2 with "Keep on Running." Entertainer Ken Dodd, who rocked the pop world with a million No. 1 seller last year entitled, "Tears," is at it again with No. 3 for "The River" . . . the Kinks have hit the Top 10 again with "Till the End of the Day" . . . the Searchers head towards the Top 20 with "Take Me For What I'm Worth" and it's PRACTICALLY the same position in your charts and ours for Tom Jones' "Thunderball." We've a very talented singer in this country by the name of Vince Hill who came out with a controversial record last year entitled "Unex-pectedly," and many thought he was on the way. He's just cut a revival of "Take Me To Your Heart Again" and it looks like good news year for Vince at last. Cilla Black hasn't come up with a new one in months, but it's happened this week with one called "Love Is Just a Broken Heart" and for mine, her talent's too good to deny. On the subject of Ulrich Langguth Traben-Trabbach Weing-

gut Weinkellerei Export Piesporter Michelsberg, just remember chaps, it's a drink NOT a new lyric from a film starring Julie An-drews!

This Week's Top 10 in Britain 1. "Day Tripper"/"We Can Work It Out" — The Beatles.

2. "Keep On Running" —The Spencer Davis Group. 3. "The River" —Ken Dodd. 4. "The Carnival Is Over" —The Seekers. 5. "My Ship Is Coming In" —The Walker Bros. 6. "Tears" —Ken Dodd. 7. "Merry Gentle Pops" —The Barron Knights. 8. "Wind Me Up" —Cliff Richard. 9. "Till The End Of The Day" —The Kinks. 10. "Rescue Me" —Fontella Bass.

British Decca Pubbery Chief Here John Nice, manager of Bur-

lington and Palace Music Com-panies Ltd., publishing subsi-diaries of the Decca Record Company Ltd. in Great Britain, will arrive in New York Wed-nesday (19) for his first visit to the United States. The visit highlights the ex-

panding international publishing operations of the Decca-affiliated firms. The British-based com-panies handle English and con-tinental European rights to song material from many prominent American publishers. Nice, who will be in America

for two weeks, will spend his first four days in New York in consultations with Miami Trepel, manager of the related Burling-ton (ASCAP) and Felsted (BMI) U. S. publishing sub-sidiaries of London Records,

that I'd like a little more sympathy than I've been getting, I rang my manager Bunny Lewis who'd just come back from a skiing holiday in Italy, and on injecting as much agony as I could muster into the telling of the story, I was shattered by Bunny's reply of "Well, one of those things, huh?"

Mind you, what I didn't realize was that at the other end of the phone was one Bunny Lewis who was walking around on crutches with a leg in plaster, a tooth missing and a food-poisoned stomach. He told the story without the slightest trace of agony whatsoever, so I said to him, "Well, just one of those things, huh?" I'm still not quite sure who won.

Now, records and charts and things. We've a very talented group that's been on the fringe of things

without ever hitting the highspots for quite some time, but at last they've done it. It's the Spencer Davis Group, and they're up to No. 2 with "Keep on Running." Entertainer Ken Dodd, who rocked the pop world with a million No. 1 seller last year entitled, "Tears," is at it again with No. 3 for "The River" ... the Kinks have hit the Top 10 again with "Till the End of the Day" . . . the Searchers head towards the Top 20 with "Take Me For What Pm Worth" and it's PRACTICALLY the same position in your charts and ours for Tom Jones' "Thunderhall." We've a very talented singer in this country by the name of Vince Hill who came out with a controversial record last year entitled "Unex-pectedly," and many thought he was on the way. He's just cut a revival of "Take Me To Your Heart Again" and it looks like good news year for Vince at last. Cilla Black hasn't come up with a new one in months, but it's happened this week with one called "Love Is Just a Broken Heart" and for mine, her talent's too good to deny.

K - Ark Sees Sales NASHVILLE — K-Ark Rec-

ords President John Capps re-ports that their hot Onie Wheeler record of "I Saw Mother With God" is over five years old. Every year around Christmas sales start again. In the last few months, K-Ark has sold over 5,000 and total sales for the five-year period approach the 200,000 mark.

them as a team that could pro-duce feature films at a fraction of the cost of other production companies. One of the con-tributing factors to the box-office success of the film was the record acts signed. The young producers had the fore-sight to ink the Supremes, the Walker Brothers, the Four Sea-sons, the Righteous Brothers and the Hondells, practically all of whom had hit records on the charts at the time the movie was put into release.

Larger Budgeted 'Winter'

The success of their first effort allowed them a consider-ably larger budget for their second effort, "Wild Wild Win-ter," which just opened in New York and goes into general re-lease this month. Again in this picture they feature groups who are teen-age favorites: the Beau Brummels, Jay and the Americans, the Astronauts, Dick and Dee Dee and Jackie and Gayle. The latest example of their

ability to pick recording talent is evident in their latest film scheduled for Easter, "Out of Sight." In addition to estab-lished acts such as Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Freddie and the Dreamers, they also fea-ture comparative newcomers the Turtles and also the Knick-erbockers, whose Challenge hit, "Lies," was not even released when they were signed for the movie.

Patton and Weinrib have a seven-year releasing contract with Universal.

What Weinrib calls the "Youth Belt" of young record-ing acts today has replaced the Borscht Circuit and the old B movies as a training ground for future stars, and their rec-ords provide the initial ex-posure new entertainers must have. Patton-Weinrib plan to con-

tinue featuring new recording acts in their pictures, to a greater degree providing them with acting roles.

Col Goes 'Mad' With Casters Columbia Records has ac-

quired the recording rights to "It's a Bird . . . It's a Plane . . . It's Superman," or so rumor has it. The new show is based, need-

less to say, on the comic strip character and will be brought to the stage in March by pro-ducer Hal Prince. (Music will be by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams. Book will be by David Newman and Robert Benton, creators of "The In and Out Book.")

Rumor goes on to say that Col has invested $250,000 in the musical.

This acquisition would bring the Columbia end of season caster schedule to three. Already in the can and about to be re-leased is "The Mad Show."

Next week Col will record "Sweet Charity," the new Gwen

Verdon show with music and lyrics by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields. "The Mad Show," very much

by the way, should turn into a fast seller for the company. The reviews were excellent and the familiarity of the property should also boost interest. Record World caught the

show, starring Linda Lavin, Paul Sand, Joanne Worley, Mac-Intyre Dixon and Dick Libertini, and found it to be amusing sometimes and unamusing some-times. The Mad was captured in a couple of stand-out numbers— a take-off of a rock singer who absolutely owes his fame to electronics and a take-off of "The Boy From Ipanema." Mary Rodgers wrote the music for the songs in the show and Marshall Barer, Steven Vinaver and Larry Siegel wrote the words.

Big 3 Grabs 5 Award Nominations The Big 3 (Robbins-Feist-

tions included "The Ballad Of Cat Ballou" published by Col-gems, "Sweetheart Tree" from "The Great Race" published by East Hill Music and the title song "That Funny Feeling" published by T. M. Music. Big 3 also drew three nomina-

tions in the "Best Score" cate-gory with nods to Johnny Man-del's music from "The Sand-piper," Riz Ortolani's scoring of "The Yellow Rolls-Royce" and Maurice Jane's "Dr. Zhivago" score. The other two nominees se-

lected in the "Best Score" cate-gory were "Battle Of The Bulge" published by Union Music and "The Great Race" score published by East Hill. Final award winners will be

announced Jan. 31 at the Golden Globes banquet with the event set for telecasting on "The Andy Williams Show." Follow-ing the Golden Globes outing, the Big 3 will be eyeing the Academy Awards race with the pubbery particularly grooming "The Shadow of Your Smile" as a "Best Song" candidate.

G̀iddyup Go' Provides Theme For Starday 5th Annual Plan

NASHVILLE —Using an ap-propriate song title, Col. Jim Wilson, VP of Marketing for Starday, announces the firm's "Giddyup Go Sales Plan" to kick off the label's 5th Annual Wonderful World of Country Music stocking program for dealers. "Giddyup Go," of course, is the smash Red So-vine single.

Commencing Jan. 10 and run-ning through March 25, dealers receive a 17% discount off the regular dealer price on the en-tire Starday and Nashville al-bum catalog, including the 17 new album releases during January and February.

The 34 Starday distributors and their 300 sales and promo-men will all be competing for the grand prize of an all ex-pense paid one week vacation for two in a "Holiday In Music City U.S.A. Contest." Grand prize goes to the distributor-ship which surpasses its sales quota by the bigget percent-age during the contest.

In co-operation with the Acme Boot Company of Clarks-ville, Tenn., Starday has split the contest into two separate parts, with the winning distrib during Phase I (Jan. 10 through

Feb. 13) and Phase II (Feb. 14 through March 25) winning specially made "Eagle" brand Acme Western boots. Already in distributors'

To insure success of the pro-

gram, Starday offers a complete merchandising plan. All distributor salesmen

have received special "Giddyup Go" sales hits with a special flyer dramatizing Music City, U.S.A., sporting and other rec-reational activities, plus prod-uct data relative to Acme West-ern Boots. Starday President Don Pierce,

when asked to comment on his firm's growth, said, "Guess we do more business because peo-ple like the way we do busi-ness and they like the built-in extra profits."

Oh yes, Ben Colder is going to whether Sheb likes it or not. Sheb likes the way Ben's new nuttier than ever "Bird of Paradise" and "Make the World Go Away" parodies are selling. '66 could be the year the world recognizes 11-year-old Pamela

Miller. Plans are underway for an early appearance on the "Dick Clark show," also agency TV commercial work. Her com-ing Tower release promises to be a bombshell. Freddie Hart reports that due to continuing popularity of his

"Hank Williams' Guitar," he has received, recorded and mailed 213 requests for personalized voice tracks for country djs in all 50 states, England, Germany and two stations in Australia. Freddie carries a pocketful of post cards on his tours and answers di notes at almost any opportunity. That's what you call budgeting your time, Freddie. George Richey, KAYO Radio, Seattle, called to say Freddie's "H. W. Guitar" still #3 on the KAYO survey. Porter Wagoner's Freddie Hart-penned "Skid Row Joe" made an early chart move and is currently one of Victor's five biggest sellers in So-Cal.

"Hank Williams' Guitar," he has received, recorded and mailed 213 requests for personalized voice tracks for country djs in all 50 states, England. Germany and two stations in Australia. Freddie carries a pocketful of post cards on his tours and answers di notes at almost any opportunity. That's what you call budgeting your time, Freddie. George Richey, KAYO Radio, Seattle, called to say Freddie's "H. W. Guitar" still #3 on the KAYO survey. Porter Wagoner's Freddie Hart-penned "Skid Row Joe" made an early chart move and is currently one of Victor's five biggest sellers in So-Cal.

"Michael," C.O.D.'s, Kellmac, is THE record that is making Rudman look good. It is #1 in Philadelphia, Top 5 in Detroit and Hartford, busted in Cleveland and GONE! "These Boots Are Made For Walking," Nancy Sinatra, Reprise,

is a sure-smash. Bill Gavin credits Dick Smith with it. . . . "In My Room," Verdelle Smith, Capitol, is a certain Top 5 smash. WIBG broke it open in 24 hours . . . "Love Makes The World Go Round," Deon Jackson, Atco, is a giant in Detroit, and broke as a giant in Philadelphia in ONE DAY. I say Top 3, ALL THE WAY!

"I Dig You Baby," Lorraine Ellison, Mercury, is a six-month old record that will now go Top 10. I picked it when it came out. It went Top 10 in San Diego a few months ago. It's now Top 10 in Chicago, and busting in Cleveland and Detroit. She has a Mary Wells-Dionne Warwick sound . . . "I Confess," New Colony Six, Centaur, is Top 5 at WLS, Chicago and is picking up all the important Pop picks FAST. Boy, is Jim Golden of USA Records flipping his lid! It blew his mind, because he had a rough 1965 . . . "Like A Baby," Len Barry, Decca, is now making it very big. The record knocks my wife, Lucille, out, and THAT is the ACID test! . . . My son, Mitchell, blew his mind on "Hide & Seek, The Sheep . . . the New Shangri-Las is out of sight . . . "My Sophisticated Lady," Gino Parks, Golden World, broke fast in Detroit off CKLW & WXYZ. It is also breaking in Baltimore off WITH . . . "California Dreamin,'" Mommas & Poppas, Dunhill, is giant in Boston, and should go all the way. It busted on the West Coast, good in Pittsburgh. "Night-Time," Strangeloves, Bang, is an immediate SMASH! The side on the Gentrys is "Spread It On Thick" all the way

for MGM. It is a hop request giant in Philadelphia, a smash in Memphis and I figure Top 5 for this biscuit when it's all over . . . The side on the Jr. Walker is "Baby, You Know It Ain't Right" . . . "The Cheater," Bob Kuban, Amy, is #1 in St. Louis and busted in California. It just can't miss . . . "Michelle," Spokesmen, Decca, is over 35,000 in Philadelphia. It only needs play to make it nationally. Johnny Madara has an entirely different reading than Mr. Beatle. Johnny astounded all of us in Philadelphia. He's GOOD!

Madara, Len Barry, Dave White, Ray Gilmore and Jimmy Wismer all came out to my record hop, along with their Major Domo, Henry Colt (Henry was the man who helped establish Chubby Checker). So we interviewed them about how they are writing all these hits.

"I Dig You Baby," Lorraine Ellison, Mercury, is a six-month

old record that will now go Top 10. I picked it when it came out. It went Top 10 in San Diego a few months ago. It's now Top 10 in Chicago, and busting in Cleveland and Detroit. She has a Mary Wells-Dionne Warwick sound . . "I Confess," New Colony Six. Centaur, is Top 5 at WLS, Chicago and is picking up all the important Pop picks FAST. Boy, is Jim Golden of USA Records (lipping his lid! It blew his mind, because he had a rough 1965 ..."Like A Baby," Len Barry, Decca, is now making it very big. The record knocks my wife, Lucille, out, and THAT is the ACID test! . . . My son, Mitchell, blew his mind on "Hide & Seek, The Sheep . . . the New Shangri-Las is out of sight . . . "My Sophisticated Lady," Gino l'arks, Golden World, broke fast in Detroit off CKLW & WXYZ. It is also breaking in Baltimore off WITH . . . "California Dreamin,'" Mommas & l'oppas, Dunhill, is giant in Boston, and should go all the way. It busted on the West Coast, good in Pittsburgh. "Night-Time," Strangeloves, Bang, is an immediate SMASH!

The side on the Gentrys is "Spread It On Thick" all the way for MGM. It is a hop request giant in Philadelphia, a smash in Memphis and I figure Top 5 for this biscuit when it's all over ... The side on the Jr. Walker is "Baby, You Know It Ain't Right" . . . "The Cheater," Bob Kuban, Amy. is #1 in St. Louis and busted in California. It just can't miss . . . "Michelle," Spokesmen, Decca, is over 35,000 in Philadelphia. It only needs play to make it nationally. Johnny Madara has an entirely different reading than Mr. Beatle. Johnny astounded all of us in Philadelphia. He's GOOD!

How They Write Hits

Madam, Len Barry, Dave White, Ray Gilmore and Jimmy VVismer all came out to my record hop, along with their Major Domo, Henry Colt (Henry was the man who helped establish Chubby Checker). So we interviewed them about how they are writing all these hits.

Barry wrote the lyrics to "1-2-3." He has a theory that you

NASHVILLE REPORT

BY ED HAMILTON

Troops of C & W performers are making an all-out invasion on the shores of Europe and Asia in '66. Leading the attack is the Hubert Long Talent Agency, long known as "The Stable of the Stars." RCA Victor's Jim Edward Brown leads the assault with a tour of Military Bases in England that began the 5th of this month and will last for 10 days. Jim just got back from Germany where he recorded 12 sides in the native tongue. United Artists Del Reeves is currently on his fifth overseas jaunt . . . this one a 12-day junket of American bases in Germany. Others set from "The Stable" for overseas consumption are

Capitol's Charlie Louvin and Ferlin Husky, Decca's Bill Ander-son and Mercury's Roy Drusky. One of the big package things set up by Hubert to travel the Atlantic route includes RCA Vic-tor's Don Bowman, the Carter Family, Tompall and the Glasers, Marion Worth, LeRoy Van Dyke, Mel Tillis, Wilma Burgess and ... get this ... Mamie Van Doren and Jayne Mansfield. Another Victor artist who just got back a few months ago

from a tour of the Land of the Rising Sun, Skeeter Davis, has been asked to record a collection of her hits in Japanese. Skeeter will do these sometime this month under the direction of RCA's No. 1 son in Nashville, Chet Atkins. Another Music City lass who just got back from an 18-day tour of Germany is Musicor's Melba Montgomery. So, in the capable hands of people like Hubert Long, Lucky

Moeller, Wesley Rose, Bob Neal and many others, country music is really going to become a world-wide thing in 1966!

Faron Young's Syndicated Show

The latest addition to the evergrowing list of syndicated coun-try and western shows was announced last week by Faron Young Enterprises. "The Faron Young Show," featuring Faron Young, Dottie West and the Marijohn Singers as regulars, will be filmed at KLPR-TV in Oklahoma City and distributed nationally. Re-ports to date are that over 40 markets have already committed themselves to the show. The Mercury artist is currently riding the charts with "My

Dreams" and Dottie is doing very well with "Before The Ring on Your Finger." This should be one of the finest boy-girl type country and western shows. Bill and John Denny and all the folks down at Cedarwood

Publishing are doing right well with current releases. Columbia's Carl Smith just released "Why Do I Keep Doing This To Us" written by Kent Westbury and Benny Joy . . . RCA Victor's Bobby Bare has recorded the old Cedarwood standard, "The Long Black Veil," and should have an immediate release on it . . . and Ric's Bobby Sikes is doing well with Max Powell's "World Wide Distributor." That's a pretty good way for any publishing com-pany to get a new year started. The big country and western spectacular recently in the gigan-

tic Houston Astrodome came up with some innovations that almost defied the imagination? First there was on display a specially constructed "Bird of Paradise" for Columbia's Jimmy Dickens to ride around in while entertaining. The other innova-tions were three large, winged stages with the turf beneath painted blue to provide a "sea" for the many boats that were on display during the big show. After all, it was being staged in Texas for Texans ... so what else could one expect! The Clyde Beavers Show, (Clyde Beavers, Sudie Callaway and

the Eager Beavers) will be heading for a little warmer climate early in February: San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. This year looks like a busy year for the Beavers with bookings already through June and especially busy for Clyde who just joined the Acuff-Rose booking clan, becoming Howdy Forester's assistant (when not on the road). He will continue his career as an artist, and also write songs for Acuff-Rose. Our pick album this week has to be "Funny Way To Make an

Album" by Don Bowman. Just to say it's great would be making the understatement of the year. This young fellow is loaded with talent . . . makes most of the so called "stand-up" comedians sound like they are laying down . . . and sleeping! Take your pick ... there are 12 terrific cuts in the album.


can make it with a lyric, "if you use numbers." lie reminded me about the Marvelettes' "Beachwood 4-5789" and Glenn Miller's "Pennsylvania 6-5000." He says that people hear things like "I love you, baby" all day long on the radio. Numbers have more impact. The original lyric had Len in an arrogant, unsympathetic

light. It is important to avoid putting the singer in the role that "he is the greatest, and the chick is going to whither away if she doesn't make it with the great HIM!" Johnny Madara and Dave White create the melodies by

fiddling on the piano. Then they come up with a title, and then they all lean in on a lyric. The prime criteria for the lyric: simplicity and "easy on the ear." Their dream is to build a Tamla-Motown in Philadelphia. They feel that there is a lot of raw talent in Philadelphia, and that they can create a great song and record factory right here.

Len Barry to England

Len Barry is leaving for England. He has written a 37-minute act with Jimmy Wismer that is "Stone R&B." He wants a nitty-gritty image, James Brown, Smokey Robinson, hard-driving "Soul." He plans to knock the English audiences "flat on their backs." He will be using specially designed and weighted micro-phone similar to one used by Wilson Pickett and Jackie Wilson. In fact, Barry's dream is to headline the Apollo in Harlem. He did appear for Rocky "G" one Sunday at the Apollo. The impact was so great that James Brown, headlining, came out and played drums for Len and turned the balance of the show over to him. Len plans to keep his material simple, elementary and LOADED

WITH SOUL. He is MURDER on stage! And all us cats from Philadelphia got nothing but soul! Listen to WIBG! These hits from Boston, Seattle, Miami and Milwaukee never sell copy "one" in the city of Brotherly Soul.
