STEINBERG'S CHARITY

BEGINS AT HOMEWith the eyes of the world focused on Canada and her biggest sales punch, Expo, attracting millions to help

celebrate her 100th anniversary, 1961 has become Canada's greatest year. Canada is known throughout the world asbeing the first to assist less fortunate nations whether it be with gifts of wheat, medical supplies or a peace

keeping force. The old saying "Charity begins at home" is also considered, with some reservation. The giantfood store chain of Steinberg's Limited has released a Canadian recording, "Centennial Polka" and "Fetons, Fetons,

Fetons" which was written by Canadians, performed by Canadians and produced in Canada. All proceeds are to go tothe Indian -Eskimo Association of Canada.

1967 would appear to be Canada's bigyear for giving. We gave the world Expo, andresigned ourselves to accept the pre -drawnconclusion that we would be one hundredmillions in the hole, but now it would appearthat Expc could be the big money maker ofthe year. The feeling of "better to give thanreceive" has rubbed off on many Canadians.The latest to offer kindness and relief is

Steinberg's Limited, who are doing it the hardway. With a Canadian produced record whichwill be said at all Steinberg stores and MiracleMart outlets in Quebec and Ontario with theproceeds going to the Indian -Eskimo Associa-tion of Canada (IEAC). This is Steinberg'sCentennial project.

The English side of the disc, "Cen-tennial Polka" has lyrics by Bob Sutton andfeatures Billy Van of CBC-TV "Nightcap"fame. The flip, the French version, "Fetons,Fetons, Felons" has lyrics penned by GillesBrown and Jacques Michel with Michel fea-tured. The music was composed by AlexTicknovich and arranged and conducted byBen McPeek. It is expected that upwards of$20,000 will be realized through the sales ofthis disc.

The beautifully illustrated jacketcover was designed by Tom McNeely of Artand Design, Toronto, who also designed thejacket for "Canada" by The Young CanadaSingers. The idea was to illustrate a youthfulgroup of people at a party which would beapplicable for both French and English withoutthe ethnic influence which the polka bit wouldinfer. The jacket also carries an inspiringmessage in French and English from Dr. G.C. Monture, honourary president of the Indian -Eskimo Association.

This Centennial project of Steinberg'swill enable the association, which depends onpublic support, to carry on its work of ensuringthat Indians, Eskimos and Metis have oppor-tunities for progress and fulfillment equal toall Canadians.

"Centennial Polka" and the French

version "Fetons, Fetons, Fetons" is not arushed mediocre record put out with the ideathat it will sell in the name of charity. Thisis one of the finest productions ever releasedin Canada. Much time, effort and talent wasspent to ensure that this release would be thebest possible. Ben McPeek has never beengreater. This is a happy and movin' andgroovin' polka with the "in" sounds of todaythat should appeal to all ages.

The rest of Canada is perhaps a littlemore fortunate than Ontario and Quebec. Thedisc, which by the way is on the Apex label,released in the other 8 provinces will be the"Centennial Polka" but the flip will be

"Canada Is" with music composed by andarranged and conducted by Ben McPeek and

narrated by Bill Walker. The words, and it'sjust impossible to describe the feeling theytransmit, were written by Carol Freeman.

Take, for instance the opening lines, "Canadais wide enough to bridge oceans, rich enoughto feed millions, tolerant enough to accept allthe world's children. Canada is mountains,lakes, and flowers", and on and on. At a pre-view of the disc, there wasn't a dry eye in the

audience. "Canada Is" should go down in thehistory of the Canadian music industry asbeing the most thought provoking and heartrending minute and thirty five seconds onrecord.

It is expected, however, that "CanadaIs" will also be released in Ontario and in

Quebec with perhaps the flip being a fullyorchestrated instrumental version.

At a recent gathering of the trade, Steinberg's introduced their new single "Centennial Polka", and"Fetons, Fetons, Fetons" as well as "Canada Is". Pictured above, from the top at the left is Mr.J.H. Buller of the Indian -Eskimo Association and the far right is Bill Walker, the narrator on "CanadaIs". Middle row.

MEET THE ALL-STAR REVUEYou know, there are a lot of groups in

this country, and I guess the fans are startingto get a little choosy. Like, sound shows andbig band blasts, particularly in the Torontoarea, drawing two and three hundred, and lessof an audience, which leaves for a lot of rub-ber cheques and unhappy musicians. But,

here's something different. You've heard ofthe big revues from Detroit, Chicago andVancouver, well hang onto your soul hat,'cuz I've got news fot you about The All StarRevue. If you get a chance, and you dig souland the real rhythm and blues, catch this act,they're a powerful package.

Claudette, who comes from Jamaica,and does TV modelling and acting, is thecharmer and the most talented rock -soul -bluesgal singers in the business. When she moves,the audience moves with her. When she souls,she's got them in the palm of her hand. This.is the gal, several of the VIP record execshave had their eye on. Eddie Spencer, is alsofrom Jamaica, and is regarded as a powerfulsolo act. He has a style that's completely newand "gets to" his audience. Ike Isaacs is theemcee of the revue, but he also sings, dancesand just clowns around keeping the show mov-ing between acts. Ike is a native of New Jersey.Ian Anderson, born in Toronto 21 years ago,

is also a strong single performer who putsthat all -soul feeling into his act. Ian is amember of the powerful back-up group, TheMissibn, who are a collection of the topmusicians in the business. Mike Rende startedout in the music business at the age of 10when he took up the trumpet and when he gotinto high school he joined a marching bandand after 3 years became one of the mostpromising young trumpeters in the band butdue to an unfortunate accident while playinghockey he had to give up brass instruments

but concentrated on music theory and finallyfamiliarized himself with the saxophone andbecame an important member of the schoolorchestra. Mike became interested in the rockand roll field and took on the task of learninghow to play the guitar and finally formed hisown group. As a matter of fact, he formedseveral groups before he was completely satis-field that he wanted to make a career of themusic business. He auditioned musicians andmade numerous contacts in his search for aformula of sight, sound and feeling, and in

1%6 he came up with a group representativeof his ideals and desires, namely a big bandsound with sax, trumpet, guitar, bass, drumsand vocal. This was the Soul Setters wholater became The Mission. Mike Acera beganhis musical career at the age of 5 when hetook on 5 years of piano and then moved intotrombone and finally grabbed onto the guitar.Mike was also lead guitar in a folk group andthen went on to a 3 man rock group where heplayed rhythm and lead. Now he plays basswith The Mission. Norman Stenoff, the drum-mer of The Mission got his start with a pairof hand carved drum sticks and a couple of oldwash tubs and then moved onto his mother's_cookie tins which finally got across to hisdad that little Normie wanted to be a drummer,

The new and exciting sounds of The All Star Revue Is made up of, from the left, Ike Isaacs, Claudette and The Mission.

so he got his first set of drums at the age of15. Norm started a polka band called Normand His Knockouts, which didn't but led to agroup called the Del -Tones. They added asinger and dubbed themselves Daddie D andThe Del -Tones. That was a full year effortand then Norm found himself a member of theSeptdowns and his first introduction to rhythmand blues. He liked the bag and soon picked uphis own version of way out off -beat New Or-leans drumming. Norm joined up with the SoulSetters which, of course, is now The Mission.Barry Reiter was born in Brooklyn, New York,in 1946. Although he's mainly interested in

the saxophone, he took five years of it, he isequally at home with the clarinet, piano andaccordian. Barry has played with the Chateaux,Bobby Marten and The lnvictas, Luke and TheApostles and The Pharos. He was also withThe Soul Setters before they became TheMission. The fair haired blue eyed lead guitarplayer is Tom Blackwell, who first becameinterested in music at the age of 6 with anaccordian about twice as big as himself. Heswitched to a trumpet and by forced submissionthrilled the gang with a mean viola solo atmusic class at Vincent Massey Collegiate.Butalas, along came The Beatles and Tom tookon the guitar and has since become a masterwith "Daytripper" and "Nowhere Man" aswell as being the best R&B guitar man on theToronto scene.

That's the All Star Revue and beforewe leave them here's a couple of quick quotesfrom lead singer Ian Anderson. "Kids who areon the soul or rhythm and blues bandwagonare missing a lot if they haven't heard guyslike B.B. King, Albert King and Buddy Guy,

blow. That's where a lot of these groups gettheir ideas. But don't get me wrong, there aregroups now in the R&B field who are nothingshort of great, Mitch Ryder, Spencer Davis(Stevie Winwood is really tuff) for example".

The All Star Revue is managed byHenry Taylor and booked through CanadianGeneral Artists. Their home base is Club 888,and they've just finished opening Dancelandin Balm Beach, for the summer. They'll be atDownsview Arena June 28, Red Balloon Club,in Hamilton June 30, the Peterborough Cen-tennial Sound Show July 1st., and at TheJubilee in Oshawa on July 7. They'll be cuttingindividual recording sessions and probablyan LP of The All Star Revue.

Watch for them, they're the most ex-citing and dynamic show group on the circuittoday.

Well, that kind of blows my column forthe week. Coming up, Colonel Popcorns ButterBand, Magic Circus, Kensington Market andno doom beating about the Mick Jagger affair.

PART TWO

of a series

"ROCK & ROLLIS HERE TO STAY"

After you've become proficient at yourinstrument or your singing, it's time to "Pickyour bag" and decide exactly what kind ofmusic you want to play. In most cases (be-cause you are a musician) you will be in-clined to pick R&B as opposed to rock be-cause R&B is a higher status of today's popu-lar music and the small clique that has arisenaround this most hallowed music will drawyou into itself, but STOP!

STOP! Just long enough to figure outwhat sells, and what gets programmed. Setyour emotions aside and tell yourself thatit's hard to succeed, and pick the more com-mercial of the two and that's rock. If youdon't believe me, take a look at the top twentycurrently. Four out of the twenty top tunestoday are R&B, and that is a high figure. If

you take a look at the sales figures of one ofthe major record companies you will see thatR&B is not as big a seller as rock. Folk-rockis a big item. Pop -soul does well. Psyche-delic music is starting to make a noise. Rock

ballads are always safe. Pseudo R&B isreally rock. After taking all this into con-sideration you should be ready to go out andjoin a group or form your own.

How long does it take to be good? Theanswer is anywhere from 12 weeks to 40 years.Yes, it is true that a rock musician who onlyhad 3 months with his instrument once playedon one of my sessions. But usually it takesyears to get good enough at your instrumentto qualify in a recording studio.

Your next big problem is to find three,four or whatever number of others who canwork with you over the initial period. It is

tough at the beginning and if you don't choosethe right group around you, you'll have tokeep breaking in new members. This is bothcostly and frustrating, so make sure you canall work together, and are all willing to makethe sacrifices necessary to come up with awinning sound.

You will rehearse a long time beforeyou learn the 40 or 50 numbers a group needs

before they can make public appearancesMany of the established groups knoiN a coupleof hundred numbers and still work every weekto add new selections to their repertoire.Your fans will get very tired if you can onlyplay the same numbers over and over.

The most important thing I will leaveto the last. The originals. The selectionsthat are your own. One of the members of thegroup usually writes them and they are your"ace in the hole". These selections andarrangements are your very own and yourgroup will become known because of them. Ifyou don't do any original songs, you fall intoa category of being a "carbon paper band''and your chances of success are decreased.The really big groups write their own songsand arrange them their own way. That is whatputs them above "the carbon paper bands".Next week: Getting the show on the road.

SOUL BROTHER COCHRAN

GRABS TORONTO!! by Lori Bruner

Toronto: It hasn't been a record two weeks.but it's sure been a hectic engagement forWayne Cochran at The Embassy's Palm Grovelounge. When he finished up last Saturday, heleft behind him, broken chairs, tables andtorn drapes and he even managed to damagethe ceiling. But that's apparently par for thecourse when you book the most dynamic whitesoul act on the continent. The fans love himand come back for more bringing their friendswho return with their friends which makes fora happy management who mark the Cochrandamages down to mere incidentals.

Even before Cochran hits the stage,his 11 man C.C. Rider group, with their $200.suits and dirty boots, have almost conditionedthe audience for what's coming. Almost, butnot quite. When that white streak, hair, suitsash and boots, all 201 pounds of him sud-denly appeared, the audience was somewhatstunned. They dind't know whether to laugh,or run for the exits, but Cochran didn't givethem time to think. All of a sudden, he waseverywhere, screaming, stomping his feet,breaking up chairs and throwing tables andripping the drapes. He got louder and louder,hissier and hissier with a lot of shrieks thatkept the bartenders away from the stage area.

When the set was finished the audiencewas on its feet screaming for more. One ex-hausted observer was overheard to say "Gawdhow can he do two shows, I'm pooped justwatching him?"

Wayne Cochran hasn't had an easyroad to success. While struggling with a rockand roll group in his home town of Macom,Georgia, he had to take a jab as a garbagecollector to keep himself going. Since hedyed his hair, and went wrangy-soul, he nowmakes upwards of $10,000 per week, drives abullet-proof limo, worth $28,000, which oncebelonged to U.S. Veep, Humphrey. and has over100 stage suits.

Cochran has appeared several timeson the Jackie Gleason TVer and has justsigned a recording contract with Chess Records.His home club, The Barn, in Miami Beach,has to hire a minimum of 15 policemen everytime he makes an appearance.

Chalk up another successful run forToronto's Embassy and manager Claude

Gilbert.Next, the Drifters, from July 3rd., to

the 15th.

R ADIOHOW TO SELL AN ICEBOX TO ANESKIMO IN THREE EASY LESSIONS PERRY SCORES

Calgary: Alberta is famous for many things,its oil industry, the - lowest taxes in North

America and now for North America's greatestsalesperson. She's Mary McIntyre, who is em-ployed by a Calgary oil company.

CKXL recently invited anyone en-

gaged in sales work to write in telling of theirgreatest sales exploit, and Mary's entry wasjudged the best. Her prize.....the opportunityto prove she was Alberta's greatest saleswoman.

Mary and CKXL's morning personality,Ned Corrigall boarded a Pacific Western Air-liner bound for Inuvik, in Canada's Arctic.Their object to sell a new General Electricrefrigerator to an Eskimo.

Arriving from warm and sunny Calgary,

it was somewhat of a shock to run into 20above weather and snow but Mary did her jobwell as evidenced by the accompanying photos.

The Inuvik Lions Club provided theEskimo prospects and the cheque for $367.67was drawn on the world's northernmost bankThe Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce inInuvik.

The entire proceeds were turned overto the Inuvik Lions Club through their Presi-dent, Tom Rusnak, and the club, in turn, don-ated the money to C.A.R.E., using a speciallymade 10 foot cheque.

A Calgarian has proven, once and forall, that it CAN be done. It is possible to sella refrigerator to an Eskimo.

EMS To ExpoWILL RIB TAKEA short time ago, there was no money

in rhythm and blues. Now the chance of mak-ing it big in this field has greatly increased.The sound isn't the same anymore. It is highly"commercialized, bringing out a smooth flow ofmusic instead of the rough, jerky -type rhythmused a few years back. You have to look hardto find a song on today's top 100 chart bysuch old timers as Muddy Waters, John LeeHooker, Jimmy Reed, B.B. King and Bo Didley,even though they are still recording. Today,such artists as Eric Burdon and The Animals,The Young Rascals, James Brown, WilsonPickett and Joe Tex dominate the scene.There's also the Motown family of stars in-cluding The Supremes, The Four Tops, TheTemptations, Smokey Robinson and The

Miracles, Martha and The Vandelias, StevieWonder, and Jr. Walker and The All -Stars.

The following is the proof of the

success of the "rebirth" of this different

form of rhythm and blues.RPM Music Weekly has made space

for a rhythm and blues listing each week forthe first time since it began publishing.

When I worked at The Gogue inn, in

Toronto, the school representatives chosefor appearances such bands as Jon and Leeand The Checkmates, The Mandala, Roy

Kenner and The Associates, Jack Hardin andThe Silhouettes and Jay and Shawn Jacksonand The Majestics.

The Whiskey -A -Go -Go, once made

famous by Johnny Rivers, is now bookingR&B acts exclusively. Sam and Dave areheadlining the club at present.

Rhythm and blues acts, not rock androll, are booked for many other top clubs. Thefamed Cocoanut Grove featured The RighteousBrothers and The Supremes last month. TheCheetah was starred by The Young Rascals.

OVER?By Frank Banyal (California correspondent)

Rhythm and blues radio stations arepopping up all over the United States. Thereare two in Los Angeles. I know that many

Torontonians listen to the R&B orientedCKFH, particularly the "Where It's At" all-nite show, which is hosted by Norman Blakely.

Recording corporations, like Capitol,have kept away from the rhythm and bluessound until recently. Today, the label carriesLou Rawls, Nancy Wilson, The MagnificentMen and The Checkmates Ltd., as some oftheir top acts.

Labels carrying the sound are prosper-ous and becoming more numerous. Today, bigrhythm and blues labels include Motown, Stax,Chess, and Atlantic.

The trend has already engulfed theolder teens and from the looks of things theteenie-boppers have also caught on("Groovin" by The Young Rascals).

Roberts Picks Up International InterestToronto: Apex general manager, George Offer,reports heavy sales on the Bud Roberts single"The Alcan Run", particularly in U.S. Borderareas. Although Apex doesn't supply direct toU.S. distributors, it has been reported thatupwards of 30,000 copies of the single havebeen picked up for the Buffalo area. Taylor'sRecord Sales (one stop) have been receivingthe bulk of the orders.

Country station CFGM leaned heavilyon the flip "Will You Miss Me While I'm Gone",which was written by Roberts but preferencewould appear to be for the "Alcan" side.

Bud Roberts was born near Moncton,New Brunswick, and like most Maritimers be-came interested in country music. He begancomposing songs at the age of twelve afterteaching himself how to play the guitar. Thefirst talent contest he entered, he came awaywith first prize and the necessary confidenceto go on to bigger and better things. When hefirst appeared on his local TV station CKCWMoncton, the letters and calls received guar-anteed Buda permanent position at the station.After appearing with several Jamborees in theFredericton area Bud took on a tour with DougLaValley and Jean Marie of Wheeling, WestVirginia and later moved to Calais, Mainewhere he made several appearances. He thenmoved up to Upper Canada where he playedmany clubs and taverns and became one ofthe most popular entertainers at Toronto'sfamous Horseshoe Tavern, where he stayedfor almost a year. He has appeared with manyof the great U.S. and Canadian performers in-cluding Johnny Burke, Ray Price, Ron McLeod,Kitty Wells, Yvonne Terry, Johnny Cash andHank Snow and many more.

Bud's new band, The Bordermen, is apowerful trio with a solid country sound. BillLegere is on doghouse bass and also does

Canadian DJ At"Radio Libertador"Cali, Colombia, S.A: Don Harris, a Canadianwith the only English hit parade program inthe country has an audience of over one mil-lion listeners.
