REVIEW OF THE WEEK

Only One "Shindig"If you are a promoter of

package shows and you wantto call your show "Shindig"-forget it. Last week three pro-moters, Iry Weinhaus, SammyLewis and Danny Dare, wererestrained by the SuperiorCourt in Los Angeles from pro-moting a live rock and rollshow called "Shindig 65" atthe Circle Arts Theater in Cal-ifornia or anywhere else.

They were stopped by orderof Judge Harold Collins whoruled that they could not doany presentations "whichwould suggest to the publicthat performances of rock androll music produced or stagedby them" are authorized bySelmur Productions, who pre-sent the ABC-TV "Shindig"Show.

Court order came about be-cause the Selmur people ob-jected to promoters using the"Shindig" name to cash in onthe "Shindig" TV show expo-sure. Selmur veepee Leon Mi-rell said Selmr would takeaction against any shows or"Shindig" concerts appearingin various parts of the country."ABC-TV and Selmur Produc-tions have spent millions ofdollars in maintaining highstandards in production and inadvertising promotion and wecannot permit unauthorizedpromoters to take a free run."So watch it guys.

The awards this year willbe given to 124 writers and 69publishers of the top 100 songspublished by BMI writers in1964.

The top writer -award win-ners are (you guessed it)John Lennon and Paul McCart-ney with 10 awards. Top pub-lisher award -winners are Jo -bete Music Company (the pub -

inEngland, France and Germanyin 1928. He became a vice pres-ident of Warner Bros. Picturesin 1930.

He was a director of theoriginal Decca Records fromits formation in 1934 until 1942.He became the president ofMPHC in 1939 and wasMPHC's president and directoruntil his death. At the sametime, in 1939, he was electedDirector of ASCAP.

Starr was known as thestrong man on the ASCAPboard, a quality that helpedhim to convince other ASCAPboard members to fall in linebehind his policies for the or-ganization. His strong leader-ship of the Society made himmany enemies, but he outlast-ed or outfought them all. It wasoften said that Starr's okaywas necessary before a pub-lisher member could be nom-inated to run for the Board.

June Harris Predicts:

GEORGIE FAME & THE BLUE FLAMES

"It will be an American

R&B year in Britain"

(Music Business' June Harris returned to London

during the Christmas Holidays and spent a fort-

night looking over the British recording scene.

Here is her first-hand report.)

The down home groove. Britain isgoing R & B. And no one could be happierabout it than the old country herself, whowelcomed the New Year with high ex-plosives in the form of Georgie Fame, ablues orientated young singer who hasswung into the top of the 1965 Britishcharts with "Yeh, Yeh."

The record is great. The British love it,

and I've no doubts America will buyit

too. It's a single British artist's first smack

6

at R & B, and it's cracked the waitingmarket wide open.

It had to happen over there. As theentire music industry remarks, "GeorgieFame is the shape of things to come.

Even

if you don't think the disc is great,it's

the beginning of the genuine R & Bswing

here." Someone had to break through,and

if it hadn't been Georgie (who wellde-

serves his present success), it wouldhave

been another artist.The sound did it. Not so much the

song, which was penned by Jon Hendricks

of Lambert, Hendricks and Bevan,but the

impact of the R & B sound has given rise

to a bright new 1965 in Britain.Two years

ago, the Beatles gave Britain's stagnating

disc scene a much needed shot in the arm.Their ultimate world wide success wasstaggering and gave rise to an open mar-ket for Beatle imitators and other ex-ponents of the beat they created. Fortwelve months Britain became the homeof the beat. Everyone looked to Englandfor new names to exploit, and practicallyevery new group whose records were re-leased in the U.S. made it with one, twoand sometimes more hits.

Because the disc market has a quickturnover, several names which are stillselling in America have plunged into Brit-

ish obscurity. England today howeveris

in the happy position of being able tochoose quality and not quantity. Because

of the recent boom there, the disc buyingmarket has become discerning in its choiceof hit parade material. For a time, towardsthe end of '64, it looked as if Englandmight get into the messy stage of havingeverything in its charts. They had a littleof R & B, a little folk, lots of groups andsome good ballads. However, the over-ridden group scene was purely the tailend of the vast boom, and in the currentBritish charts it has tapered off to four-teen groups in the top thirty, of whichmany names are established favorites..

It's happening. Breaking down thecurrent British top thirty, and reviewingthe present scene there, England is defi-nitely on the verge of a big new rhythmand blues trend. The industry itself isdelighted that the genuine stuff fromAmerica is finally breaking through andthis coming year will be happy to welcomemany more of America's top selling artiststo its fold.

Already, English groups which havebeen practicing blues, folksy blues andrhythm and blues have established a firmniche this year, while new combos in thesame groove are breaking into the steadilycracking market.

Of course, they're all competing withthe Beatles who still reign supreme ("IFeel Fine" topped the British charts forsix straight weeks before giving way toGeorgie Fame). But the Rolling Stonesare still chalking up smash after smash,along with P. J. Proby (who at timessounds like a modified James Brown),The Searchers and, more recently, ourown Supremes.

The new names. Newcomers with bluesorientated hits are The Moody Blues,whose version of "Go Now," a very R &B styled record, has bounded up the Eng-lish charts and will very shortly be re-leased here. Then there's the Them (that'sthe group's name!), Sandi Shaw and theKinks.

Maybe it's sheer coincidence that allthe girls who are making it in Englandalso have a touch of r & b style, but Idoubt it. Surprisingly, (as after all theyare British and out of direct contact withthe necessary environment), these galshave absorbed the r. & b. style extremelywell.

At this point I take time out to praiseCilia Black whose current English releaseis an exceptionally good cover job of theRighteous Brothers hit, "You've Lost ThatLoving Feelin' ". Those who know Cilia,on hearing this record, are amazed at thedeep range of her voice on this disc.

Cilia vs. the Brothers. The song wasbrought to Cilla by Brian Epstein fromAmerica. She raved about the feel of it.Last week on "Ready, Steady, Go," Brit-ain's leading pop TV programme, she ad-mitted she's going to have a tough fightwith the Righteous Brothers, who arecurrently in England doing concentratedpromotional appearances on their disc. Inthis case, as so often happens there whenthey have a great American original, salesare bound to be split, and both versionswill make the top thirty.

MUSIC BUSINESS, JANUARY 23, 1965

CILLA BLACK

Not so with "Goin' Out of My Head"-yet. British gal Dodie West has done whatI consider to be a poor cover of this ex-ceptional piece of material by Little An-thony and the Imperials. Last week shehit the top thirty, while Anthony, strug-gling to gain recognition over there, isonly just picking up sales. At this point,it is the industry's contention that ifAnthony could visit England to promotehis disc, he could easily pick up the bulkof the still heavy sales to come.

Petula Clark is a special case. She hasalways recorded top quality material, andthe appearance of "Downtown" so nearthe top of the charts came as no surpriseto the British. The song was written forher by 25 year old award winning pro-ducer -songwriter Tony Hatch of Pye.

THE MOODY BLUES

America is aware of his existence throughhis excellent work as producer for theSearchers. Given the freedom of his penand a studio, Tony is a very rhythm andblues -minded person, and he admits that"Downtown" in in this groove.

TV show scene. Television beat showsin England are improving, both in pro-duction and presentation. If you think of"Shindig" and take it a couple of yearsfurther-Jack Good is the daddy of beatin Britain too-then you have TV teens-ville, scenesville today. "Ready, SteadyGo" is an exciting show where studio vis-itors participate in the production and atleast four or five performers appear oneach programme. An example of the kindof artists used was last week's show,which starred Cilla Black, with Americanguests Betty Everett, Johnny Thunder andSonny Boy Williamson, Gita from Den-mark and the Rockin' Berries, who havea very Four Season-ish sound.

I can find very little criticism with per-formances by British artists, except to saythat in my opinion, the girls are all tryingdesperately to sound like Dionne Warwickand some of them move a little too stiffly,especially Sandi Shaw. On the other hand,Julie Rogers and Petula Clark make verypretty and personable pictures on anyscreen, and both are very capable per-formers.

Tamla-Motown excitement. Englandis breathlessly anticipating the arrival ofthe Tamla-Motown revue in March. ABritish publicist friend remarked to me,"We're looking forward to seeing thatpackage here, and it will be one of thefew tours which will do great businessthis year. Once the Tamla-Motown crewis in, there'll be no stopping other rhythmand blues artists. After that, I would evenstick my neck out and say there may evenbe a market for James Brown."

James Brown, althongh not yet wellknown in England, has a tremendous rep-utation there among the young set. They'redying to see this dynamic performerthey've heard so much about, and interestin him has reached the stage where eventhe teen press and music papers are pre-pared to run features on reputation alone.Being staunch followers and loyal sup-porters of any new trend, the industrydecrees Brown 'in' this year. And theycould be right.

No longer copy -cats. In bygonedays, British artists were accused of be-ing copy -cats. Since exploding the entireindustry with home grown talent, I'mhappy to report that she's practicallygrown out of that stage, with just a fewexceptions. This means, of course, that theupcoming best selling charts will featuremostly originals with only a limitedamount of places for copyist groups. Thecombos in this sphere that do make it,will have to be very talented. If they arecopyists they'll have to have a strongpersonal interpretation of their materialtoo.

This is going to be a beat year inEngland. Following last year's boom, andhaving rid herself of most of the acts thatwent with it, the country is now readyand waiting to welcome back Americantalent.

phil Spector:`all of a sudden I'm a personality ... "

Phil Spector (wearing cap and boating shell) with the Righteous Brothers, whose record of "You'veLost That Loving Feeling" produced by Phil, is on its way to becoming a million seller.

A spokesman emerges. Not since thedays when Mitch Miller was grabbingheadlines all over the place has any in-dustry figure come to the fore as a spokes-man for the record business. One hasfinally emerged. His name is Phil Spector.

His new prominence with the generalpublic (kids have known about him foryears through their own grapevine) stemsfrom a wild, lengthy, analytical, purpley-prosed piece about him, his appearance,his style, and his activities in the maga-zine section of the New York HeraldTribune of January 3. The article, pennedby Tom Wolfe, introduced Phil to anadult audience that barely knew him. Itintroduced him with such impact thatPhil has been beseiged with offers to ap-pear on TV shows, (he made the LesCrane show last week), to become thestar of a documentary about the recordbusiness, to give out interviews to news-papers and magazines, and to hire a pub-lic relations firm. He has also had an offerto buy his record firm as a direct resultof the story.

Started last year. Spector had ac-tually started his climb into the publicconciousness through his appearance ona David Susskind TV show, in March of

8

1964, a show so hot that it was re -runagain last summer. On it, Phil was sup-posed to be a patsy for Li'l David andnostalgia deejay Williams B. Williams ofNew York, who are violently, evencholerically anti -rock and roll. Phil, abright, eager, and articulate pro -rockyoung man, took on both of them, slicedthem into little pieces and subdued themwith words and knowledge.

A genius -a character. Everyone inthe business has long acknowledgedSpector as a genius for his work as aproducer, songwriter and innovator insounds and arrangements. At the age of17 he wrote the hit "To Know Him Is ToLove Him," at 18 he wrote the hit "Span-ish Harlem," at 19 he was turning outhits for Atlantic Records. He was one ofthe top freelance producers at 20, and at21 he started the hot Philles label. Hecame up with a great string of teen hitson Philles, and many million sellers. Theartists he has discovered (The Ronettes,the Crystals, Bobb B. Soxx and the BlueJeans, Darlene Love, etc.), his songs, hisarrangements and his sound on disc (allwidely imitated) are enough to stampPhil a giant in the record business.

Everyone in the business has also long

acknowledged Phil as a character. Theslight, slender Spector is a hippie in dress(Tight pants, boots, suede vest, cap) inhair style (long - and long before theBeatles) and a non -conformist in action(he has premonitions about plane crashesand once walked off a plane right be-fore takeoff, taking with him other su-perstitious passengers).

Enjoys position. Phil Spector is en-joying his new position as a public figure."All of sudden I'm a personality," hesaid last week in his jumbled office justoff the East River in New York. "I neverwanted to be. But it's good. I can saythings and express myself without worry-ing that no one will hear me. I know myopinions about the record business andI'd rather defend my own job and myown position than have someone else doit for me.

"I regard my position as a creator andspokesman for American music. On mostof the TV shows I've appeared on so far(Not the Les Crane Show) I've rarelybeen anything but attacked about makingrock and roll records. But I function verywell in a world of hostility.

"In England they handle these thingsdifferently. You are treated with respectfor your creativity no matter what kindof records you make. When I was in Eng-land I was written up as a top producerin the Daily Mirror, which has the largestcirculation in the world."

All-American. Although Spector waspleased with the respect paid to all typesof record producers in England he isn'tas flipped about English records. "Outsideof the Beatles, who are unique and whowrite great, great material, I don't thinkthe English recordings are very inventive,on an artistic level, when compared toour best recordings here. I won't denythat for American records to come backall over the world we have to make greatrecordings. But I think we have alreadycome back strongly over the past sixmonths, and I think we will come backmore this year. Creativity is sparkingagain all over America.

"The success of the Beatles last yeargave me a chance to take a look at myown records and to set up a contrast insound to their recordings. I think I'vedone that with my Righteous Brothersrecord of "You've Lost That Loving Feel-ing," which has a chance to become amillion seller, with the help of their ap-pearances on "Shindig." You see, I don'twant to follow anyone, I want to createthings that other people want to copy.

Tony and Pet:a hit teamTony Hatch and Petula Clark have hada lot of hits together but none have beenbigger than their current smash, "Downtown."

4.

Petula Clark

She liked it. "Petula Clark was moreknocked out with 'Downtown' than Iwas," said Tony Hatch. "I'd only writtenthe first three lines and the bridge, butshe told me to go home, put some lyricsto it, and then she would fly to Londonand record it."

Tony Hatch, at 25, is the brilliant youngman behind the success of "Downtown".He's a writer, producer and arranger, andhas been associated with Pye Records andPet Clark for the past four years. Quiet,modest and unassuming, he played drumswith the Queen's Royal Guards beforesigning with Pye, and eventually becameone of Britain's most important personali-ties in the music industry. Among hiscredits, he can list the British lyrics toPeggy March's "I Will Follow Him," aswell as composing, arranging and produc-ing Bobby Rydell's "Forget Him." In fact,in the latter part of his term with Cameo,Bobby refused to record with anyone butHatch, and made several trips to Londonpurely for this purpose.

Produces Searchers. A more integralpart of Tony's recent activities has beenThe Searchers. He's produced every oneof their sessions, and works closely withthe group in their selection of material,in addition to helping them arrange it.They, in turn, don't feel happy unlesshe's at the controls, and having attendedseveral of their sessions, take it from methat Hatch and the group augur very welltogether.

In the past four years, Tony Hatch andPetula Clark have come up with severalBritish and Continental smashes.

"It's really since Pet moved to Parisand expanded both her activities andtalent," says Tony. "She's improved tre-mendously in that time, and today, canturn her hand to anything and still come

I0

up with a great sound. We recorded`Downtown' on October 23."

Trips to Paris. "I go to France everythree or four months armed with a selec-tion of material for Pet to run over. Shemakes her choice, and then comes to Lon-don to record. We always cut at leastthree or four songs, which we keep in thecan for future releases, and she generallyrecords in both French and English.

"On my most recent trip I went toParis with three songs. We tried themout, but Pet wasn't terribly happy. Sheasked if I had anything else, but I was abit loath to mention 'Downtown' as itwasn't completed. Anyway, she persuadedme to play it, and when she heard whatlittle there was, she made up her mindto record it."

Double -rhyme lyrics. "I returned toLondon and began work on the lyrics. Ittook three weeks to complete the song.Anyone who knows the words will seethat they rhyme in the middle as well asthe end. When it was finished, I arrangedit, and Pet flew into London to record it.

"Its entirely different from anythingelse Pet has ever recorded. It does havea little rhythm and blues in it, hut moreso in the arrangement than the actualsong. It's established Pet in a new groove,and of course we were both delightedwhen it became an American hit, especial-ly as it had been a smash all over Europe.

Worried about covers. "Without try-ing to sound self important, I think'Downtown' would have been an Ameri-can hit anyway. At the time of release,my big problem was the fear of anAmerican artist covering it, as I feel itwould have been a good song for a grouplike the Drifters.

"Personally, though, I think the Britishboom is coming to an end there. America

went through a phase of accepting every-thing and anything that was British, andfor a time, I thought the market had nodiscernment. It seems to be tailing offnow, and I think 'Downtown' made iton its merit."

Both due here. Tony is naturally de-lighted with the long standing success ofThe Searchers in this country, particu-larly when he learned that "Love Potion#9" is their biggest hit to date. He wasdue to arrive here on Friday (15), fortalks with both Kapp and WarnerBrothers, and at the same time will at-tend sessions, even though he doesn't in-tend to produce anything himself.

Petula Clark arrives this coming weekfrom Canada, for talks with WarnerBrothers about the follow up to "Down-town," which has already been recorded,but remains on the secret list until thegreen light is given. She will also do afew promotional shots during her stayhere, including a scheduled "Hullabaloo."

Three language lass. Pet is a singerof rare fine quality and performance, andis able to tackle any song in at leastthree languages. She is in tremendous de-mand all over Europe for top drawernight club, television and gala perform-ances. Because she was accepted as achild star in England, she found it toughto crack the adult market, and finallymoved to Paris about four years ago,where through a sucession of breaks shebecame one of Europe's leading stars.Eventually England accepted her talentson an adult basis and she is in constantdemand for such shows as "Sunday Nightat the London Palladium."

A number one with "Downtown" is thegreatest welcome she could receive inAmerica. J. H.

RECORDS

At long last...

Angel has finally releasedthe long-awaited recordingof "Carmen," featuring theindomitable diva, MariaCallas, and it is already onits way to becoming thecompany's biggest sellingalbum in history. But rec-ords are made to be broken.

The Callas mystique hasalways been just that muchlarger than life itself, buteven Angel was caught awee bit off guard on thisone. Most record dealersin the Manhattan area whoreceived their initial ship-ments on Friday, January8, were nearly sold out bythe end of the day. OneGoody store alone account-ed for over 100 sets sold thefirst day. Angel is working'round the clock to fill or-ders of the album, whichaccording to a companyspokesman, now total 40,000sets (120,000 units) . It ishopeful that the packagemay hit the $1 million mark

Callas as Carmen

in retail sales by the timeMadame Callas arrives inNew York in March for twoperformances of "Tosca" atthe Metropolitan (her firstappearance there in eightyears). What a wonderfulwelcome home.

With La Callas on thenew "Carmen" are NicolaiGedda, Andrea Guiot, Rob-ert Massard and conductorGeorges Pretre.

Before the oohs and ahshave had time to subsidefor this "Carmen," Angelwill release another com-plete opera by La Callas inMarch. It is a brand new"Tosca," with Bergonzi andGobbi, angelically timed tocoincide with her perform-ances at the Met. Her old"Tosca," incidentally, wasCallas' biggest selling An-gel album to date.

It's great to have herback.

An artist with conviction:

JOHNNY TILLOTSONHis rightful name. It is refreshing to find, in our gimmick-ridden industry, an

artist of such individuality and conviction that he can consciously eschew extra -musical trappings for a more honest personal public image; even to calling himselfJohnny Tillotson-which just happens to be his rightful name.

"Tillotson doesn't exactly roll trippingly off the tongue," offered Johnny, "but it'smy name. And thanks to Archie Bleyer (president of the now retired Cadence label,who was responsible for Johnny's first hits back in 1958) we decided to keep it.Actually, at the time, I had done a lot of work on television in Florida, and I figuredthat if I didn't make it nationally, I could always work there, so keeping my ownname was also a means to safeguarding my identity.

"Even so, the use of my real name was typical of Bleyer's philosophy. Archie was

a stickler for an honest presentation. The public is pretty hip to spotting a phoney,so you'd best make the most of what you have to offer personally, not bandwagonon every current fashion or vogue. Don't wear the other guy's clothes; they're most

likely not your size."

Eight successful years. It is precisely this sensibilitywhich has guided Tillotson

through nearly eight years of success as an international figure-on records and inperson. And his has been a very carefully planned career, sprinkled with such bigsingle record hits as "True True Happiness," "Poetry in Motion," "It Keeps Right

on A-Hurtin'," "Talk Back Trembling Lips" and most recently "She Under-stands Me."

Johnny takes his career very seriously; analyzes his latest moves and, with his

manager Mel Shayne, carefully evaluates each further step. "My next single (tobe released about January 21) is something of a change from what I've done in thepast. It may result in a new image. It's called 'Angel' and is from the forthcomingDisney film 'Those Calloways.' It's a lot different from my past records. We broughtin Charlie Callela who does a lot of work for the 4 Seasons to arrange it. It'sexciting."

He's pop today. Which brought Johnny and Mel around todiscussing one of

the "problems" they have had to face with Tillotson's career in the past. "Deejaysin New York and on the coast keep thinking of me as a hybrid; a country -orientedperformer. It's hurt more than one of my records, because without the sanctionof the Metropolitan areas a record misses out on nearly half its sales. The biggestdisappointment was 'She Understands Me,' which, ironically, I first heard as per-formed by the French star, Sylvie Vartan. I'm sorry, but that was a purely 'pop'record, and while it was way up on many of the regional charts, it never made itbig nationally because of New York and California."

Since October, 1963, Johnny, who records for Tanridge Productions, has his discsreleased through MGM Records. His first single and album for them was a smash("Talk Back Trembling Lips"). About the same time, Johnny made his night clubdebut, which resulted in a booking at New York's Latin Quarter. With his usualcare, he has shelved the act to work on another one before working clubs this spring.In the meantime he's going heavy on television exposure. This season he'll havethree shots on the Jimmy Dean show, as well as stints on "Shindig" and Hullabaloo."

Not for the critics. In a quiet way, Johnny Tillotson is a true task master. Heis genuinely fond of the people with whom he works, such as his conductor HerbStrizik and producer Paul Tanner-all the way down to the pick-up musicians whohave worked on out-of-town dates with him. He respects professionals as muchfor their professionalism as their talent. Summing up his performing philosophyhe says: "I try never to perform for the critics. They're fine, but I prefer to appealto the larger segment of any audience that doesn't necessarily know so much aboutmusic, but who are very aware of an honest interpretation. You can sing any kindof a song, with any kind of backing-jazz, country, pop or r. and b.-just so youmaintain your own identity when you're performing it. This is a language anyaudience understands."

All together, Johnny's a real nice guy.

PHIL SPECTOR

May okay merger. PhilSpector is moving back toCalifornia next month (Febru-ary) to set up permanent officesthere. (He does most of hiswork there anyway.) At thesame time he is mulling overin his mind an offer to pur-chase his firm that could meana great capital gains deal forhim. "I can't say who the firmis, but they have a lot of alliedfirms in the entertainmentfield," he said. "It's still in thetalking stage, but the decisionis up to me. If I make a deal,I'll still run my firm. I maydo it, but if I do, the deal willbe made in such a way that itwon't stifle me or absorb me.It will be a merger rather thana buy out."

Spector is no brooding gen-ius. He happens to have animpish sense of humor whichhe uses against his detractorsas well as to put on his friends.Recently he called the dis-tributor of a competitive label,imitated the president of thecompetitive firm, and told thedistributor to send back allunsaleable records. The dis-tributor almost did so until herealized he was the victim ofa practical jokester.

Resilient non -conformist.Phil is not unaware of his un-usual appearance nor his un-usual clothes. He dresses as hedoes as much for effect as forhis need for non -conformity.In a business where everyonestrives for a Madison Avenuelook, Phil's clothes indicate hisinherent resiliency, in spite ofhis poetical (Percy ByssheShelley) appearance.

This resiliency makes him agood spokesman for the muchberated rock and roll area ofthe pop record business, anarea whose image Phil willattempt to change. He wellcould. BOB ROLONTZ

CERULEAN BLUES

Lenya!by Dom Cerulli

Lotte Lenya singing themusic of Kurt Weill alwayshas a tremendously sober-ing effect on me. I feel asthough I am watching thepast unreel in sound, muchas I feel when I view news-reels made in the teens andthe 20s. I have to force my-self to remember that therewere such places and therewere these very people, butnow they're gone and all wehave is a succession of sha-dows to remind us of theirexistence.

Weill's Berlin theatersongs have that same quali-ty. They are dated, but notso much in time as in feel-ing. I don't find them at allold-fashioned, but I do findthat they make me feel Iwas alive and aware whenthey were first shocking andcharming audiences longago.

Some are delightfullynaive, others deliciouslywicked. All are wholly Weill,and bear his personal sealof lovely melody and bittermelancholy. These are songsthat can sing themselves.

Loffe's bagBut when sung by Lotte

Lenya, they are experiencesin 20th Century life. MissLenya presented a splendidprogram of her late hus-band's Berlin and AmericanTheater songs, including aconcert presentation of"Threepenny Opera," at Car-negie Hall last week (8).Although she is not theLenya of old, only she canmake those songs come socracklingly alive.

She was greeted with astanding ovation similar insentiment to those accordedJudy Garland at her con-certs. And the full houseroared approval of every

number on the lengthy pro-gram.

I found Lenya's SurabayaJohnny, Alabama Song, Bil-bao Song, and Susan's Dreamparticularly fine in a pro-gram with many high spots.But the most moving of allwas her encore at the endof the first half of the con-cert.

She returned to centerstage and accepted, ratherawkwardly, a bouquet ofred and white roses, whichshe placed at her feet at thebase of the microphone.Then she sang SeptemberSong. And in her husky,world - weary voice, thepoignant lyrics and gentlemelody of this Weill classicmade heartbreaking sense. Ihave never heard SeptemberSong sung so meaningfully.

Playboy PollThe Playboy Jazz Poll

(February issue) has acouple of surrealistic mo-ments. For example, HenryMancini was voted leader ofthe year by 10,373 readers.Ellington received 3144votes; Basie 3080; Kenton3010. Also rather unusualwas the selection of female

jazz vocalist: Barbra Strei-sand. She edged Nancy Wil-son by some 140 votes. EllaFitzgerald finished third, butnot in the hearts of hercountrymen. Peter, Paul andMary again won the jazz vo-cal group category. I thinkmaybe those voting Playboyreaders have really beenstrung out by the centerspreads.

A Pinch hitterNext week the honorable

James T. Maher will pinchhit for me in this space whileI vacation from the type-writer for a couple ofissues. Mr. Maher is a re-spected writer on Americanmusic, popular and- jazz, andis currently represented inThe Ladies Hone Journal(January issue) with thefirst of six instalments in aseries on American palaces.Short stories, a book onthose wild mansions, and anovel are all due fromJames T. during the com-ing 18 months or so, and,God willing, also a musicalcomedy. I'm delighted tohave him stand in my placenext week. His shadow doesme honor.

TV REVIEW

Joey Heatherton Creates Storm

On First "Hullabaloo" ShowTeenager Joey Heatherton -

guesting on NBC -TV's new va-riety show "Hullabaloo" -provided the most startling bitof video choreography sinceElvis Presley swiveled up arating story for Ed Sullivanback in the fifties.

Miss Heatherton (attired inboots, pullover and bunny -brief leotard) debuted withher back to the camera,jiggling visibly. That is MissHeatherton was jiggling, notthe camera, although we imag-ine the camera crew wasn'ttoo steady.

It was a tasteless bit ofvideo voyeurism which wastotally out of place on a showaimed at young listeners. Itwas also unfair to Joey, whootherwise projected a fresh,young quality of vervefulwholesomeness as she led thechorus through wildly swing-ing versions of the swim, themonkey, the pony, and the new"Hullabaloo" dance created bythe show's choreographer Da-vid Winters.

However, the main troublewith "Hullabaloo" is that itlacks a consistency of musicalviewpoint. Just because anartist is on the best seller chartit doesn't necessarily followthat he appeals to all recordbuyers.

Jack Jones, first in a seriesof rotating emsees, was apleasant host, but his blandvocal style is more in keepingwith the Como tradition thanthe current rock school. Andwhose horrendous idea was itto have Jones sing his poig-nant ballad hit "Call Me Irre-sponsible" in brassy uptempobacked by 120 pieces of theHanover (N.J.) high schoolmarching band?

The new Christy Minstrelsprovided lively performancesin their usual spirited hand -clapping fashion, but againover-all mood was more hoe-down than yeh, yeh, yeh.

The two segments best cal-culated to attract "Shindig"audiences were Brian Epstein'staped (in London) sequencesfeaturing Gerry and the Pace-makers and a shrewdly stagednumber by the Zombies, alsoa British group. Both segs tookfull advantage of the groups'offbeat photogenic qualities.

Carping aside though, wesincerely hope "Hullabaloo"shapes up into a big success.If it does click CBS has a rockand roll package warming upon the pilot bench and DickClark is readying a new va-riety program. The combinedexposure could make 1965 thebiggest year yet for the rec-ord industry, and would alsobenefit the young disk artistsdirectly by creating a "seller'smarket" for talent.

Heretofore "Shindig" hasmore or less had the field toitself, and artists are paid ac-cordingly. Now, however, weunderstand "Hullabaloo" ispaying what a top booker calls"really good money," so "Shin-dig" may have to do likewiseto meet the competition.

Letters To The EditorA Put Down

Gentlemen:I subscribed to the Mu-

sic Reporter for more thana year until it was sold tobecome Music Business. Iwas pleased with the Re-porter, and even morepleased with Music Busi-ness. I like to see you pres-ent all of the issues fair-ly. I haven't agreed witheverything you have said,but at least you have thecourage to come out andsay it. The only thing thatbothers me is your "Lettersto the Editor." I feel thishas gotten a little out ofhand.

I do not think a weekgoes by that I read of somepoor, helpless jock in somesmall town no one hasheard of begging for rec-ords. They all claim thatthey are mistreated and feelthat they have been neglect-ed.

The fact is that in Ameri-ca we have about 4,000 AMradio stations, and recordcompanies turn out morethan 100 singles each week.Reading the letters fromthe disc -jockeys has givenme the impression that eachstation feels it should re-ceive all 100 records eachweek, and that they shouldreceive the same attentionas say maybe KYW or WBZwould receive. It seems thatthe small time operatorshave not taken the time toexamine the life of a rec-ord promoter.

Recently, I talked withone of the men represent-ing what is called the sec-ond largest record company.I know the problems thisman has, and I actually feltsorry for him. He has tocover the entire Southwestand is on the road aboutsix days out of every week.After putting all he's gotinto the business, you findsome wise -guy writing Mu-sic Business saying he nev-er receives a thing.

I think a lot of the fusswould stop if the averaged -j would take time outfrom writing Music Busi-ness and place himself inthe shoes of a record pro-moter. Probably the d -jwouldn't fill up half theshoe, and one could findhim running home withintwo or three days.

I wonder if any of yourd.j. readers have been awayfrom a family 80% of each

year trying to make a liv-ing for themselves and aname for their companies.When the promotion mancomes in off the road, heisn't met with a warmsmile, but only with a deskcovered with requests frompeople asking for more rec-ords.

I feel sorry for the guyswho never receive a thing,and have poor connectionswith record companies.Some companies seem tonever send records out toany market except the top25. I feel, however, thatthere are more good, hard-working men in the recordbusiness than people seemto think, and it is abouttime some credit was givento these fine men.

It seems now that manyradio stations are expectinga little too much out of rec-ord men. Record companies,just like radio stations, ex-pect to make a profit. Howcan they when they give itall away in free records?

Mr. D. J., why don't yousit down and count thenumber of records you playeach week out of the num-ber you receive. If you re-ceive and play more than100 new ones each week,think of the booming busi-ness our record companieswould have. But you don'teven play half of what youget, so why scream formore?

Oldies His GoodiesDear Mr. Chase:

I enjoy your magazinevery much. I would like totake this opportunity to ex-press my gratitude for thearticle published in yourAugust 29, 1964 edition en-titled "Those Oldies areStill Goodies." This was avery well edited story.

I work in a record de-partment, and believe me,we sell a considerable quan-tity of oldies albums andmany, many oldies 45's. Weonly handle the oldies 45'son the Oldies 45 label putout by Vee Jay. Many timeswe have more people look-ing through them than look-ing through the top tunesof the current week.

You mentioned the Keepthe Big Beat Alive club. Iam proud to be a memberof that club. I would like

to see more articles on theclub published in futurecopies of MUSIC BUSI-NESS. I feel, also, that youshould include more storieson those Oldies but Goodies.

Very truly yours,"An ArdentOldies Fan"Middletown, Pa.

Flipped By BarbariansDear Sir:

I have just seen T -A -M -I,at a neighborhood theater.I just want to tell you that,I think it was one of thegreatest performances Ihave ever seen. I want totell you that I also thoughtthat the write ups you gaveit were about the best youcould have given.

In this show, there wasa group called The Barbari-ans. They were truly great.I would like to know moreabout them. I would alsolike information on how tojoin, or start a fan club forthem. Anyone with this in-formation, please write me.

Yours truly,Mary MelloCambridge, Mass.

Ed Note: We suggest, Mary, thatyou write to their label, JoyRecords, at 1790 Broadway, NewYork. They will help you start afan club.

Bernie. We ApologizeDear Barry,

I read with interest yourDecember 26, 1964 issue inregard to the classical LP'sin 1964. It was a very wellwritten article.

There was only one thingI was disappointed in andthat was the lack of Ever-est in your listing of rec-ord companies and theirbest sellers. I don't knowif you realize it or not, butZiff -Davis, publishers of Hi-Fi/Stereo Review, has ayearly audit made concern-ing various aspects of therecord business, included inwhich is classical recorddata.

In their last issue wewere sixth rated. Since thattime we know in checkingwith Ziff -Davis that wehave jumped to No. 4. Ofcourse these figures includesales of our subsidiary clas-sical labels also, Concert -Disc and Counterpoint/Eso-teric.

We have many best sell-ing albums, among whichare BEETHOVEN'S NINE

SYMPHONIES with JosefKrips conducting. This hasout -sold Deutsche Grammo-phon's Beethoven by two toone and these are figures Iobtained from DeutscheGrammophon. In a quietway we do make a noise!

I just want to bring thisto your attention so thatnext year you won't makeus orphans and you will callus for some of our best sell-ers.

Best for the new year,Re
