PENETRATION LESS THAN IN U.S..

I Hutson Moves To Increase RSO's European Activity LOS ANGELES- -With the ap-

pointment of Mike Hutson as managing director of RSO Records' In- ternational operation, the label will concentrate on increasing product exposure throughout England and Europe where sales have not kept pace with the U.S.

Hutson is in the process of building a European marketing staff based in London. He says the label's Polydor licensee are being incorpo- rated into the RSO staff and mull be better acclimated to RSO product.

He states. "With a Lurepean operation based in London, we'll be able to put promouonal tours together and focus attention on marketing aids in a more precise way which will help break product in the rust of the world.

"We want to focus Polydor's attention on what's happening here and help its market product by pro- viding it with tools necessary to do the job," he says.

While the core of the RSO operation has evolved around English

acts like the lice ('ces.. Eric dluplos and Cream, RSO's U.K. and Euro- pean penetration has apparently fallen short of expectations.

"Europe is an area where we are not getting the sales and market share we deserve," says Hutson.

Hutson says the international operation will encompass all countries "from Argentina to Zaire" although the emphasis will be on the U.K. and Europe with a later thrust In the Far East. Hutson will personally visit

the adds that additional staff will be added in territories which need bolstering.

Another area of Hutson,, rmpon- sibihty will be talent acquisitions. He feels that countries like England. Scandinavia. Germany, Trance and Belgium are hotbeds for new acts.

Following MIDEM, Hutson and RSO president Al Coury frequented

WEFM -FM Sale

Finally Cleared WASHINGTON -A free -year

format battle ended Thursday (16) when the FCC approved the transfer of WEFM -FM's ownership plus its switch front classical to rock music. The FCC accepted another revised agreement from GCC, a citizens group and Zenith, the Chicago station's present owner, which had been lighting over the proposed oudet's switch from classical to rock music.

Earlier the FCC had come up with a last minute snag to delay final approval, involvingGCC's plan to sus- pend broadcasting for six hours during the changeover. Both GCC and the opposing citizens group which had originally challenged the format transfer, had approved this part of their overall agreement.

Agreements had been worked out on everything from payment to the citizens' group lawyers, to supplying two other area classical music stations with costly classical music Li-

braries and equipment to provide the public with service equal to WEFM -FM's historical format.

How Can We Miss Him When He's Back? In the early 1970s, thanks to such songs as "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away" and "I Scare Myself,' and such albums as Where's The Money ?, Strikin' It Rich and Last Train to Hicksville, Dan Hicks was a star's star, a master of classy iconoclasm that made him the saving grace on many a ballroom bill.

It Happened One Bite, Dan's first album in way too long, is the sound track to a movie of Dan's own creation, or so he tells us. The movie doesn't exist on film. you see (or don't see), so if you want to experience the movie in Dan's head, you must read the all- explaining liner notes, view the evocative illus- trations (both by Mr. Hicks himself), then listen to the songs. Get the picture? Get the album. It Happened One Bite. In which a talent for all times makes his all-stops -out return.

The Bob Weir Album Is Exploding.

When a gifted artist makes the most extraordinary album of his career,

you've got an unbeatable combination. Bob Weir has never sounded better on record,

and the results speak for themselves. Tremendous response at radio stations

and from concert audiences on Weir's current nationwide tour have prompted immediate

release of the first single, "Bombs Away."

the rate based on prior use of the

BMI catalog.

The SESAC agreement also runs for five years. Beans for annual payments of 550.000. with stepups provided for if additional stations are added to the public broadcaster webs. Included in the pact is a provi- sion for mechanical royalties.

Details of the Harry Fox arrangement were not available at press - time. But it is known to include a

synchronization rate for tv and another for mcchanicals on radio for publishers who authorized the agency to negotiate on their behalf. Most publishers affiliated with the organization arc parties to the agreement. says Al Berman. Fox Agency president.

Actual monies realized by the agency will depend on the volume of synchronization and mechanical transfers. Trade estimates place annual expectations at about S25.000.

Paul Marks of ASCAP doesn't yet rule out the possibility of a negotiated agreement with PBS and NPR. but says that so far a number ofconversauons have failed to result in a deal that is acceptable to the society. He feels offers by the broadcaster groups have not been realis- tic.

17- Radio-TVProgrammrn9 `Best Cuts From Hottest Albums' At WPLJ New Records a No -No On N.Y.'s ABC -Owned FMer

By Rt)xI:th ht)/ yh NEW YORK -WPU Is cutting a

course for itself in this highly competitive market by "playing the best

cuts from the hottest albums." boasts Larry Berger, its program director.

The ABC-owned FMer advertises Itself as the most listened to Fh1 .ta- uon in America" It competes for the Iucratiie young adult and teen market ii ih WABC and WNBC on the AM side and on the FM band with WBLS (black progressive), WCBS- FM (oldies). WKTU troll rock). WNEW -FM (progressive). WYNY (soft rock). WPIX (album rock) and WXLO (album rock).

According to the latest Arbitren ratings, WPU has a 3.7 share w hich translates into 92.500 persons in an average quarter hour and a weekly cumulative of 1.717.501 Intoner, Closest competitor is WELS which also claims to he the number one FM station in the counts

When we say we arc the most listened to FM station it is on the basis of a cumulative audience;" explains WPU's Berger. "What it means is that we reach more different listen-

ers in the couine of the week Iran any other FM station.

"WBLS's claim is based on the average quarter hour audience. They reach fewer people in the course of the week. hut their listeners stay tuned for a longer period of time, continues Berger. Ile says the average WPU listener, aged 15 to 34. lis- tens to an average of about 60 tu 68 minutes per day.

Berger says that in 1971 WPLJ, formerly known as WABC -FM. became the first formatted rock station

Berger says the was the station has evolved. it no, plays an escn nit\ of rock oldies and about 30 to 40 top songs from the best selling albums The disk jockeys don't yell at you or whisper to you. They try to speak to the audience as if they would he speaking face to late, says Berger.

lie says that though LPs from superstars may he programmed into the mix as soon as they come in. generally the music Is selected on the haws of the station's research and then screened by a music committee that meets every Tuesday.

The committee consists of Berger and the station's general manager. music director, disk jockeys and some staffers. Candidate albums are played and the committee decides on the hest cuts. An average of four or five are added each week.

WPU does not use passive research. Berger says. Its market information comes from the trade charts. calls to local retailers and tnfomta- tioo obtained from sister stations around the countri including WABC, which c.stcnsivcly re- searches the Neu fork nt.irket.

Once an LP has been selected for play. "obviously the 'mist difficult task of any album station is to decide which cuts on the LP In play." says Berger

He says members of the music committee do not preview the LI' before they hear it at the meeting We want them to hear it as would a le tener who hears it for the first time. If on the first time the song sounds horrible, then obviously that is something we do not want on the air."

Berger says the various Ws have a

music library of the selected tunes from which they put together their shows.

The DJ knows he has to play a

certain number of this and a certain number of that. and that there are certain ingredients which go into the mix. hut he doesn't have it all dc cided for ham. There IS rte way w get the music mix to sound right if a isn't done that way It isn't all done by computer, and it's mathematical only to a point But the jock is the extra ingredient that makes it all fit," says Berger.

He adds that unit -s a spears cul ',especially difficult to cue up by the engineers. all the music played is directly off the LP ()lilies. which comprise about li.df of the nits are

Pat St. John keeps the LP cuts popular to maintain the station's emphasis on playing album product

in a separate I.000tille library' from which the disk rocker. can chixise their selections. Most popular oldie by far at WPU is "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.

"We're the Top 40 station of the future."

I hough populai disk jockey Jim Isea tell the station in the fall. Ber- ger says that the station has since actually packed up on the ratings for the morning slot with Jim Fink. who has been part -lime since 1970.

In fact, Berger says. the core of WPI -J Jocks is very strong and steady utth little turnover. ` Locherle, who iell..us Fink, has been with the

station also since 1970. Afternoon jock Pat St. John started in early 1973. and Tony Pigg, the evening man. came a few months later.

Berger says that WPU was the first station to use woman jocks hack -to -hack with Carol Miller on from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Viv Roundtree doing the overnight trick.

Si. far WPU has not played any new wave music, because. Berger says. it hasn't come through the

normal procedures that we use. For new music to be played on WPU it has to have some son of sales support behind it"

"We do not see it as our position in the marketplace to introduce new artists to our listeners. There are other stations who do that if we did it. we would sound like they do "declares Berger.

A quicker, more accurate response to local market conditions was the reason given for the shift by both outlets.

Both stations thought the soft rock format would enable them to grab a

"One of the problems we had was keeping up with changes in what they (Bonneville) conceived as soft rock." says Stone. "We went through a folksy format heavy on Baez and Lightfoot into pop with Neil Dia- mond and Bam Mamlow. and then eventually into soft rock.

AMERICA GETS STIFF.

In what is surely the year's most provocative international development, Arista Records

has concluded an arrangement to distribute Stiff Records in the United States and Canada.

Established in England as a haven for un- classif iably exciting artists, the Stiff label

has quickly become an industry trend- setter. Their keen ear for unique talent and

a totally distinctive approach to advertising and marketing have made Stiff the fastest -growing and most publicized record company in Britain.

Of Things To C.o,

h1

Shipping immediately are two highly -anticipated releases: Ian Dury's "New Boots And Panties!!;' an album already creating tremendous excitement as an import, will feature his U.K. hit single "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" In addition, the much -heralded "Stiffs Live" documents the whirlwind tour of the U.K. made this year by a contingent of the label's

artists, including performances by Dury, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric,

and Larry Wallis. America will never be the same.

LOS ANGELES .\Bore nearly two weeks of what he sails "putting the pieces hack together again" al B,urtell's K('ttQ in San Diego, new program director Jinn Fox has emerged with a format he's happy with.

The problem is. he doesn't know what to call it.

"I don't know that you could give it a description," he says. "But it's fun and entertaining, I'm convinced that's what the people here want."

Fox sees himself as someone "who has never been known to make a W subservient to a Maytag." and he's revamped KCBQ accordingly

On -Air talent no longer reads one -liners or what Fox describes as "scripted programming. where the DJ has everything down in wnting that he's supposed to do, scratch or sniff."

Instead. Fox supplies written idea sheets which allow DJs to interject more of their own personalities. "They can be themselves," he explains. "They sound now as if they're not being badgered"

Fox is convinced San Diego listeners want to be entenamed. "It's a

concept they haven't enjoyed here for sonic time," he adds.

He points to research recently conducted at KCBQ using call -outs, door- todoor surycy. and store inquiries. from "mon and pops to outlets in malls."

Allowing more DJ personality to surface on- the -air, though. is only one el the changes being developed

It, I) hi III NB!, by lux. Also, promuuuns arc receiving a facelift.

"1 think they should be more fun," hesays. "One of the things lacking in radio today is that promotions are too restricted High -low games are Just not fun."

Ile plans to instigate. promotions which will include on -air person- alites as participants "right along with the listeners, and 1 plan to use our DJs more in activiues outside the station as well."

KCBQ's playlet also has been massaged by Fox, one of the casu- alties being Shaun Cassidy. But Fox refuses to categorize any cuts from the list as "bubblegum"

"I don't know if'bubblegum' music really exists anymore." he says. "I think the growth in audience intel- lectual level has pretty much left that kind of music behind."

The new playlist is comprised of "about 35" Top 40 hits. plus any number of oldies.

Although all of his plans have not had a chance to be instituted yet, Fox insists listeners can tel a differ - ence. "We're just getting going." he says. "And the DJs already sound like they're having l'un"

The new strong point of the station, he believes, is that music, personalities and promotions are all more "relatable" to San Diego, a city on which he qualifies himself to be an expert.

"I know the breakdown of this market," he explains. "including all the ethnic Influences and ho .1

record will break, primarily because I was born and reared here."

Fox entered broadcasting in 1964

with KGB in San Diego. "But I was weaned on KCBQ," he says. "In fact, as a kid I'd stare up at the glass office windows and swear that some- day. I'd be up there."

He arrived "up there" in 1974 as

music director, but subsequently left to help create San Diego's KFMB- FM B -100.

Fox also has held programming spots at KTNQ in Los Angeles, KENO in Las Vegas and KUPD in Phoenix.

His immediate predecessor at

KCBQ was Gerry Peterson, who dc- paned in December of last year.

WINN adds one or two records a

week. "If it's a big hit. it doesn't matter who the artist is. or the style - we're going to be with It" Past hits also receive strong play.

Braun believes the time is right for country music radio "Since I came here four years aga the changes have been enormous In the early '60s. MOR was a very big thing. All those stations are playing rock music now, and the adults have been looking for some place to go. Country music is right there waiting for them."

WEFM -FM Transfer To GCC Hits Another Snag

C,rnrrnneJ Jrr,n

The agreements have twice been approved in initial deci- sions by Commission administrative law judges since 1973.

But the FCC has now said that GCC and the citizens' group have no right to agree unilater- ally on a temporary- suspension of service to the public as part of their agreement.

The Commission says the parties can work this out so that the station maintains continuous operation.

Otherwise. there is a horrible alternative. either side can dis-

The onginally proposed transfer and change of format was approved in 1973 by the Commis- sion. but without a public heaning. In 1974. the citizens' group fighting the format change won a US. Appeals Court decision revoking the transfer. and sending the case back to the FCC for hearing

Brookville buys time for its tom. menials on 140 stations nationwide. which is expected to provide enough leverage for Bergman's show to he syndicated to the majority of those outlets by early April.

"We're a production company." he explains. "but Brookville has the power and muscle to place the ,how- that's the hardest part of this business."

Jerry Shapiro. president of Brook- ville, says. "We spend a lot of money with these stations and. in turn. we're hoping a majority will spend some with us -on a barter basis. ph- manly."

In other words. stations will be given the program free for airing each week. In return, three of the six minutes devoted to commercials will he retained by Shapiro for broadcast of his own spots. The remaining three minutes will be sold by the station to sponsors.

"We think our timing is right on this one," he adds. "The country is in a disco mood, The success of Satur- day Night Fever' has proven that. and we're hoping to follow that track."

Bergman insists the show will project "a very alive feeling. with a

cross- section of people spanning a

style of dress from funks to elegant." He wants to avoid what he terms "the bandstand look." with merely a

host introducing records and a

handful of amateur dancers. "We're using professional dancers

who will go through a sanely of different steps." he says. "We've handpicked them for style as well as appearance." '

Bergman believes much of the show's appeal will rest in its unusual location -inside the six -story former soap plant which now houses The Soap Factory Disco in New York_

"Most disco clubs are tiny little rooms with a glass ball hanging In

the middle of the dance floor." he

says. "But this place is simply huge and it prosades us almost unlimited potential as to camera work and lighung."

He cites the three areas which will he used extensisels on the show: the

main room, which has three tiers for dancers. the boiler mom. which has a 40 -fiwt high ceiling from which hangs "a real Cessna airplane." and the oven room. which gill has the

ovens and a huge swap vat now covered with glass for dancing. Berg- man says electronically -timed lights are beneath the glass. "just like an

5 Puerto Rican

Stations Beaming

With New Sounds By LORRAI \L BI.ASOR

SAN JUAN -Sweeping changes in programming are giving Puerto Rico's radio industry a fresh new

look. The changes. which no doubt

have taken many listeners by surprise, reflect both a desire by the different radio stations to reach wider - or in some cases more select -segments of the island's radio listening public and keep up with the competition.

Leading the way to change is

former WPRM -FM now renamed Salsoul 98.

Programming director Silvio Ig- lesias says the station pushed aside soft music programming in favor of "a much more lively salsa and soul sound" that goes on 18 hours a day.

We had an audience before. but we lacked advertisers.' he explains.

Why salsa? Santiago says it was simply because. despite an interest in salsa, this musical form was not

getting enough play from other local stations He adds that there was no

found himself in the U.S. Army as a

draftee. He served in the cavalry several months. then was switched to

the War Dept.'s special staff in Kan- sas and that's how he landed in Los Angeles in '45 with AFRTS.

Stewart announced "Command Performance" and then launched his own "Quarter Century Of Swing," embracing five one -hour shows every week In time, he moved up to his own "Bill Stewart Show" and he reckons he has produced and announced more than 4.000 programs in all over AFRTS.

When he was mustered out of the army in November 1947. he continued his AFRTS programs while working on L.A: s KLAC. then

Stewart tells his AFRTS listeners about new and up and coming musicians as

well as spinning disks by some veteran pop names.

COUNTRY SOUNDS GONE

WMADs In Madison Now Dignified Rock

LOS '.NGELES- WMAD -AM- FM in Madison, Wis., has not only dropped its established country format but call letters as well in favor of WWQM- AM -FM, according to program director for both operations, David Ross.

The new format for the daytime AM side is automated oldies. featuring minimal commercial inter- ruption.

"But what we're really excited about is the new FM operation," says Ross. "We're up against some entrenched automated FM stations in this market. and we've gone live, Top 40 and 24 hours a day "

Promoting the Hudson Broad- casting outlet as "Q -106," Ross emphasizes lots of music on a 66 -song playlist, excluding recurrent, and oldies. And he is trying to build "a one-on-one informational relationship" with the Madison community.

"We're tailoring our operation to what we believe the people want," he explains. "There are 10 stations in

-,Ills market, two of them album ori-

ented ri, r Prior to us, there was no live FM 'taker."

Ross programs thr majority el WWQM's music in "two and three - record sweeps, with 90"; being three - record. We have five breaks an hour with eight minutes commercial time an hour maximum."

Citing his belief that "Top 40 has been hype almost from the beginning," Ross has defused the screaming which he says tends to exemplify that format. "When we have a promotional contest, there is none of that yelling abut 'I'll take the 10th caller!' Rather, we have listeners either write in to register or call the station. That way, everybody gets a

shot ut winning. WWQM's new target audience is

18.34, Ross adds, "and they like their rock music So that's what we give them -without the screaming"

He's anxiously awaiting the spring ARB sweep, but has no illusions about "liming up number one right out of the box"

He does anticipate good ratings.

AFRTS and the airlines' program, allow me that opportunity."

As a child. Stewart aspired to be- COW an actor

In 1932. while still in grammar school. he appeared in dramas aired over the ( anadi,in Broadcasting Corp nemyork. working with Alan Young and I leacher Markle, both of whom later became renowned performers in the U.S

But now it is 1,179 and Stewart de- parts his daily chores on the Sunset

Old Times: Bill Stewart, circa 1957 with Bing Crosby.

Somewhere in the program, he clears his throat, pushes a button and leans into the mike confidently.

"Do you remember Bon Bon?" he inquires as he sets up "720 In The Book" by fiddler Jan Savitt's 1939 band out of Philadelphia. "Bon Bon was one ofa kind:" Stewart informs. "He had it all- perfect enunciation, perfect intonation, a rare rhythmic sense and a loyal following that was a major asset to the Savitt band at a

time when Georgie Auld was blowing up a hurricane on tenor sax.

Here is Ron Bon at his best."

And so another "Bill Stewart Show" as on tape. For producing and announcing it. Bill will receive less than AFTRA's commercial radio scale fee. But he doesn't mind. He is striking a blow for what he says is "good music" and his efforts just may be Influencing 520 million listeners around the globe.

Though some New York stations hase been experimenting with no -ad hours. Berger says WPLJ doesn't do it since he feels "at is a gimmick to buy listeners"

"To me if you have an hour of no commercials. the next hour when you do have commercials it sounds that much worse. People in New York are smart enough to see through that. The reality of it is that ever' radio station is on the air to make money. And how do you make money" l'ou sell advertisements," says Berger. He adds that commercials on WPU are limited to IO minute, per hour

The outlet. licensed for the 89.5

"it will be primarily a classical music station with a secondary emphasis on jaro. news and public affairs broadcasting." the developer explains.

The satellite network, to be opened in 1979, is being designed now, with surveying teams soon to map the Las Vegas territory.

"We'll probably go into a rented commercial space :'explains March- ese. who works in the programming department of the Las Vegas public library. "We're trying to find some kind of site that keeps overhead as low as possible in the development stage."

The station has begun building a classical record library. with the public being asked to donate disks. I he station is promising to broad -

And existing Las Vegas radio stations are contributing their out -of- tormat recordings. Marchese says

Downtown Las Vegas Undergoing

- Upgrading

LAS VEGAS -A new era is dawning in downtown Casino Center entertainment pul- ície% m direct relation to current expansion - building projects at mayor. king standing resort properties.

Motivated by II propose,I, pobbcalls troubled 18 ,000 -sent athletic -entertainment tarot tty and aging. non -appealing sum:hires, the turnaround can he dr,unuusails seen in all 10 casino -hotels.

Led by Steve Wynn's $15.5 million refur- bishing of the world- renowned Golden Nug- get, the Union Plazas continued successful musicals and plays and the reopening of the Fremont's main showroom. the rebirth of the original Las Vegas has been longoverdue

"There are some definite changes taking place in this rehinh of the downtown area:" says Wynn, who doubles as the Nugget's entertainment boss. You can see tt in the established hotels expanding. newer ones building and better lounge entertainment."

Included in Wynn's renovation of the Nug- get to an all -new. 576 -room 17 -story high rise tower, a $20.000 sound system has been installed in the 250 -capacity Gold Strike Lounge.

A stronghold for country acts. such names as

Kenny Rogers. B.J. Thomas. Buck Owens and Doug Kershaw have played the lounge as well as Willie Nelson. Rogers. who first played the Nugget in mid -1976. has worked closely with Wynn encouraging others to come aboard.

Wynn, who's been an executive only a few years. recently changed his entenamment policy from booking two lounge acts. which for example featured a strong second act like Jeff Kutash's Dawn' Machine, to sucking with one main name star.

Were spending a lot more money in our entertainment budget now," claims Wynn. "We will continue to sign pop and country crossover acts, because that's what appeals to the downtown traffic"

What sets the Nugget's lobby apart from netghbonng resorts is the absence of slot machines and noisy casino traffic, an experiment which has paid off. The low. $5.50 two -drink minimum also enhances lounge patronage.

Meanwhile. at the Union Plaza. under the direction of entertainment director Maynard

iloate, Tong -rummy adult- oriented plays have enjoyed success like the current run of Neil Simons "Last Of The Red Ilul Lovers."

Starring Marty Brill, Jane Kcan and Mari lyre Chambers, "Lovers" joins an array ul smash hits, including "South Pacific:' Can Can which opens in April and the hoxoflice record holder "Mind With A Dirty Man." a 50week run.

"It will he hard to duplicate that record holder since the hotel show pulley has been modified to try at least two shows a year now," says hotel publicity director Jim Brann

Open since 1971 with 21 -story high rise. which contains 514 rooms. the Plata knots over Main and Fremont Sts. facing cast towards the Golden Nugget. The compara- tively low S8.50.55.50 ticket range attracts a

steady customer flow. The Plata Theatre seals 600 for dinner 675

at the midnight cocktail show- Eighteen -hour entertainment is offered in the Omaha Lounge from contemporary to pop and country acts. says Braun.

Another popular Plata hangout. the Back- stage Restaurant and Bar. features thejazz -piano stylings of Page Cavanaugh. formerly of trio fame of the '50s.

At the Fremont Hotel, a block east. a $3 million expansion program has closed the lounge temporarily. The new facility. which will increase capacity from IRO to 230. will reopen in laic spring.

Our main showroom will open again in March offering a cast of 22 in a national review, 'Elvis Memories Of Elvis,"' reports Vince Anselmo, Fremont publicity head.

The first full scale review about Elvis, the Donny More Production will be housed in the 425 -seat Fiesta showroom. The birthplace of Wayne Newton, the theatre once offered such stars as Patti Page. Red Skelton, Judy Garland. Milton Berle and Howard Keel in the '50s.

Anselmo foresees the new show minimum set at $7.95 for two drinks while a SI.50 charge will be maintained by the new lounge when completed.

Promoter Buddy Lee m the past has produced four -walled shows in the Fiesta showroom featuring such country acts as terry Lee

LO, hill. lumdercluud and Danny Davis & ¡lie \,e,IlsOle Brass.

A downtown property of Argent Corp.. the Fremont's sister hotel on the Strip is the Star- dust Fluid and Casino. home of the new $3

million "Lido" production spectacular. Joining the Golden Nugget, Union Plaza

and Fremont Hotels in multimillion- dollar facelifts is Del Webbs Mint Hotel. which recently completed a facilitywide. 56 million renovation project.

Of all the major financial upgrading projects in Casino Center, the Mint has the small- tat entertainment property. a 200- capacity lounge which cames a low $1.25 one -drink minimum

10 Casino-Hotels Improve Facilities

Meetly wutcmpuwry pup acts are booked into the lounge, reports Nick Bobrick, hotel publicity chief. Current strip Silverbird Hotel sensation Johnny Harra, an uncanny Elvis look-and-sound-alike. was the hotel's last major attraction.

The other entertainment at the Mint. involves signing big name stars. such as Jerry Vale. Jackie Gayle and Vic Damone to holiday contracts. namely at Christmas.

Neighboring Four Queens Hotel and Ca- sino maintains a small, intimate lounge as do newer built resorts. the California Club. Ne- vada Hotel and the about -to-open Holiday Inn.

Golden Nugget proprietor Steve Wynn claims the successful downtown formula of low show prices and reasonable economic accommodations is being copied by the richer. bigger hotels to the south on the Strip.

Were spending the same amount of money here that the Riviera s Ed Torres used to set

aside when he guided entertainment at the Fremont years ago:" says Wynn. And that's more than any other downtown hotel."

Other casino-hotel officials echo Wynn's belief that soanng Strip entertainment prices will have to come down in direct competition with the present downtown rebirth.

Struggle Stirring To Save Venerable N.Y. Town Hall NEW YORK -The latest bite out

of the Big Apple's musical and cultural heritage. swiftly following the bad news about Radio City Music Hall. is the decision by New York Univ. to shed Town Hatt. But the venues executive director. Jesse

Reese. does not appear too pessimis- tic about its future.

He believes that a strong independent board of directors can be

recruited to raise funds and ensure the hall's continuance as a music center. He is already talking to two

Reese does not doubt that NYU wants to pass the location into responsible hands, but says that there is no way of knowing what might

Kool Shindig Heats Louisville Country Program Attracts 6,000 In Frigid Weather

LOUISVILLE -It was not only a Kool night, it was a cold night - nine degrees to be exact -in this "Sunny South" city that has en- dured a winter of climatic discon- tent.

Record -smashing snowfalls of Arctic proportions have glazed this Kentucky tobacco and bourbon capital with an ever- present sheen

of ice. The Dixie deep freeze forced the closing of the Common- wealth Convention Center box - office for lO oldie days prior to the

Feb. 9 premiere of the Kool Coun- try Music Shindig.

The venerable Kentucky to- baceo giant, known for its sponsorship of successful jazz festivals, now was trying a three -city pilot project into country music.

It was supposed to have started in St. Louis and then shift to Mem- phis before winding up in Louis- ville rr_L .MI.11 _par.wu _p.

forced postponement of the first two concerts (from February to

the kickoff city. The Convention Center seau 8,240 and. amazingly, more than 6.000 fans fought the harsh winter conditions to attend the well -publicized show. Tickets were scaled at 5531. 56.50 -57.50.

Promotions included a full -page color poster in the Louisville Cou- rier- Journal and Louisville Times- hitting more than 400,000

subscribers. newspaper ads, television and radio spots. plus Ktol's own promotion efforts.

As the fans filed in and were treated to a tight. fast -paced show featuring premium country music and comedy. the Kool /Brown & Williamson officials grew warm with praise. Its off to a very im-

pressive start," commented a

Brown & Williamson vice president whose indoctrination into the complexities of country music left him impressed.

Company spokesmen admit that the results of the three -city Kool Country Music Shindig would be monitored closely as Kool expands its venture into music (Billboard. Feb. 18, 1978).

Familiar with the more reserved nature of the Jazz fan. the KiwI officials found the earthy approach of the country music aficionados refreshing, if not diversifying and amusing.

The fans cluttered the aisles taking enough flash photos to create a

strobe effect, clamored for encores and autographs. and were com- fortable enough to shout from the wings. respectful enough to shut up for the ballads. and fanatic

Thy university claims the hall is a

financial liability. Vice president for administration, William von Raab. puts the deficit at between 550.000 and $150,000 annually, at a urne when NYU is placing more emphasis on its academic programs.

Reese characterises the deficit as "very low:" especially in comparison with other venues in New York. Most of the expense comes from or- dinary overheads. he adds.

During the 1976 -77 season. the executive director continues, Town

Hall generated boxoffice business of $400.000 across 356 events. attracting, according to approximate usher count, some 265.000 persons. Seat- ing capacity is 1.500.

The acts which appeared last season were typical of the cosmopolitan talent spread for which the hall has

become known in recent years. They included Julian Bream. Charlie Mingus. the Prague Chamber Or- chestra. Lily Tomlin. Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem, Hildegarde, Webster Lewis, Mary Travers. Los Indios Tabajaros and Celeste Holm. Various ethnic

MCA Records will make its lira NECAA appearance this sear Vice president of artist relations and publicity Joan Bullard says the

meeting will be "sort of an initiation into the market" and a way to learn which kinds of acts schools are interested in booking.

"We try to keep in touch with the college paper editor of the top 20 -30 schools in terms of enrollment."

Peter Allen and 38 Special will also be in New Orleans for the event. A &M will have a

sampler available containing cuts from various artists.

Bob Frymire, director of the college division, reports seven of his college reps will be

brought in as well as artist development, artist relations and regional marketing people for a

total delegation of 16.

Because many college reps have graduated or have been promoted into full -time jobs, there are rep vacancies in Syracuse. Pitts burgh, Atlanta, New Orleans, Madison. Wis.. Boulder and Boston.

A &M services about 450 stations and has an

extensive concert committee mailing list. "With 31 new artists coming out within the next year, the college department will be busy laying the groundwork." says Frymirc.

CBS Records, the other label with a separate college division. will have all its Southern regional reps onhnnd. Although CBS won't be

showcasing this year. it will have videotapes of Meatloaf, Journey, Boz Scaggs and others.

Eric Doctorow, manager of the college department, says the division has taken on the added lacet of involvement in major national merchandising campaigns.

Recent projects include its tie -ìn with Bud- weiser Beer (Billboard. Feb 4. 1978) as well as other contests with magazines. its ongoing Video Tape Network projects, public service contests and the like.

CBS is putting together what it calls "Inter - chords," special artist interviews pressed onto disks, which are available to college stations.

Perhaps the most important facet of the department. says Doctorow. as the acceptance of the college reps as an integral part of the company. "Reps can call a vice president or other company executives and be treated as a vital part of the company." he says.

Reps are now working closely with artists. managers and agents. "There's a lot of excitement within the college department;' Docto- row says. "More than ever before.'

Bruce Tenenbaum, national college manager, at Atlantic Records, will be the sole company representative. Atlantic's college thrust has been at the radio level although Tenen- baum is about to alter that course slightly.

I he department has been cuncerncd with radio but we will devote more attention to college concert committees, record stores and newspapers and try to tic -in with all of them." he says.

"I think they are unaware of how they can benefit from each other and increase awareness of what they can do."

ABC Records. a major supporter of the NECAA over the last six years. will be in attendance and will showcase Wha -Koo.

Says Corb Donahue, head of the label's artist development department: 'The NECAA is one of the greatest talent forums and one of the least explored. It has terrific potential for acts on the way up."

Arista Records will be making its first NECAA national convention appearance and will showcase the Dwight Twilley Band.

"Arista realizes the college market as a way to expose product." says Marily Lipsius, manager of college promotion and marketing.

Other labels are expected to partake in the convention if in attendance only.

A music panel session, always one of the most crowded of panel meetings, will afford student programmers an opportunity to ask

record company representatives what can be

expected of them. This year's panel will be constructed a bit

differently than prior ones as it will encompass agents and artist development personnel as well.

Sharing the panel will be Frymire. Dom- row. Tenenbaum, Lipsius. Donahue. Stan Goldstein of Magna Artists, Jeff Scheen of Far Out Productions. Steve Powers of Mt.

Ñ TURNING TO PROFESSIONALS

Two Reasons For Boom In w Local Promoters & Agents

By DICK NUSSER NEW YORK -Tight entertain-

ment budgets and the reluctance of top acts to work with relatively inexperienced student promoters are seen as key factors in the growth of regional concert promoters and booking agents.

In fact, the trend seems to be that many regional booking agents are becoming concert promoters as a result of having to step into that capacity in order to ensure the success of their client's campus appearance.

"A lot of big groups want a professional promoter in the middle," explains Steve Geed, president of Nashville's Sound Seventy Produc- tions, which produces concerts on and offcampuses an the Midsouth as well as representing the Charlie Daniels Band, Wet Willie and other acts on an exclusive basis.

"We have been getting more calls from colleges:" he says. "hut we pre - ferbuildinga relationship to just go ing in and doing one show

Gaol explains that campus buyers often "just shop around ti,r thy best buy" while Sound S ss-vis prefers to work deals on a continuing h.isi, hoping for a longer commitment

A survey of regional promoote rs le vials this to he true elsewhere Exactly how the deal goes down among campuses. regional promos- ers and major booking agencies varies from case to case.

Barry Fey of Denver's Feylmc Presents Inc. has been active on Col- orado campuses for several years. for instance, but he functions strictly as an independent promoter.

"We just use their facilities and pay rent." he says, "Occasionally, as

a courtesy, we will share haling with the campus activity hoard or whatever, or they'll get a piece of the profit rather than a straight rental. but it's basically our show "

One of the factors involved in the regional promoters success is avail- ability of production expertise and light and sound equipment that colleges can't supply."

Several promoters and campus buyers tell Billboard that the demands of many of today's content porary acts demand the presence Of an expencnccd middleman.

"By the time they get it all together themselves and rent equipment and pay deposits and print tickets and advertise. they rarely if ever turn a profit," one regional prn- tnciter explains "So they're learning al's often wiser t.., call cis al the beginning."

"Truly, I just think there are more of us , .." Emmylou Harris

More is definitely the word to use in talking about women in music these days. It seems only reasonable, since there are more women than men in the world, traditionally more women record buyers and radio listeners, and although men still hold a lead in share of the charts,

the female hold is growing ever stronger. States independent radio programming consultant Paul Drew: "There are more hits by women

now than ever before. The superstars that are females now: it's just incredible. Generally, going back the last three years, it's been building to where there's a tremendous dominance by female talent on the charts. With Fleetwood Mac, you hear more people talk about Stevie Nicks than about Mac."

In the live performance field, ICM's Tom Ross agrees: "I don't know which came first, the records or the concerts, but very definitely with Olivia Newton -John, Dolly Parton and even more with Linda Ronstadt, it is happening. Linda's last tour was the first tour where she did giant concert business. As a rule, they could always do small venues and the protected venues like the Universal Amphitheatre, but they never could do giant indoor places like the Forum. It's something that's just exploded in the last year and a half."

A quick look at Billboard's charts over the last decade provides heavy ammunition to back up these statements. Since 1967, female vocalists' share of the charts has increased more than 30 %, with an increase in solo female vocalists on the Hot 100 of 90% in the last two years. Other dra-

MUSIC IN

LADYLAND matic increases appear in the country LP charts -an 87% growth in a decade -and jazz, which is

up 100 %, since no females appeared on the 1967 year -end jazz charts. The reasons for this increasing share of the action are not so easily established. The most ob-

vious first place to look is the women's rights movement and the profound effects it is having on society as a whole. Says producer Brooks Arthur (who has recently completed work on Debby Boone's second LP and who has produced so many successful female vocalists that Elektra's Joe Smith has dubbed him "President of Yenta Rock ") feels there has developed "a kind of a

feeling around the country for a lot more liberated expression." He feels that people are now willing and able to hear more of what is really on their minds from articulate spokespeople like Janis Ian, Bette Midler and Carole Bayer Sager (all of whom Arthur has produced). And he adds, "Most sophisticated men realize that women are equals and they've got a point of view, nd a lot of guys are into what they are saying, because it makes them a little hipper

crysraf Gayfe

Drew agrees: "There's a greater awareness of the presence of females in our whole society. There is a greater identification on the part of the audience, because women in all fields are more equal to their male counterparts. Part of what's happening in music is a reflection of what

basically is happening in our

Leona. society." orate, , Ross feels the changing role 'Q%

of women in society has greatly Òo

affected their role as performers. He explains, "There have not in the past been as many female entertainers per se. Lots of them have been vocalists, but there haven't been that many like Bette Mid - ler who have really been an entertainer first. It's become more acceptable for them to be able to be more aggressive on the stage, to go out and attack an audience."

But besides being more aggressive onstage, Ross believes that liberation has made more female artists willing to tour in the first place. He continues: "It's

Suwwet rough to be on the road. It's a handicap to be a female on the road, the reason female artists have tended not to want to tour that much. Now, as they've gotten more into it, they've been able to handle it better. But of course music is an expres-

sion of one's soul, and as they feel freer in sharing that, they are coming out and are more prone to take the critical attacks and all."

Yvonne Elliman, just now preparing to launch her first solo tour after being a long- time part of the Eric Clapton entourage, is ari excellent example of this willingness to face the road. She feels, however, "It's not really all that difficult -it's lust how much you abuse your body. I mean it is a responsibility, so you must treat it with respect. You have to make those gigs every night, just like with any other job. Women are really quite strong. I know now I don't have Eric to hide behind, I've got to stand on my own

two feet." As far as a change in women's consciousness affecting their music listening habits,

Elliman agrees, "I think a lot of people are willing to listen to what women have to say

now. That's why "Love Me" was such a hit, because women bought it. Women love to

have their heartstrings pulled, and they know exactly what a woman is saying." (C m»inuea un page SW-18)

WOMEN BFAROM DAY ONE Women on records?

One can provoke a maelstrom of arguments as to which singers were first to have their talents permanently inscribed in sound grooves.

The globally- acclaimed Ada Behan. a glamorous stage performer, unarguably was among the earliest of the femmes to be plattered. Her skills were recorded about a decade alter the phonograph was introduced by Thomas Alva Edison in 1877.

And as sound reproduction improved with Emile Berliner's revolutionary disk- superior to the Edison cylinder -Ada Jones, Marcella Sembrich and Emma Eames won popularity not only in the U.S. but in Europe as well for their respective vocal accomplishments.

The "new" disks. of course. were in no way comparable to the records Debby Boone sold in 1977 Before 1900 they spun on hand wound. undependable turntables at speeds varying from 70 to

more than 80 r.p.m. Most all records were from live to seven inches in size (180 millimeters) Doris Day

With the arrival of the 20th century. the Victor Talking Ma-

artists. It was in 1902 that the Gramo.

And with Caruso's bountiful sales internationally came uncommon success for now -legen dary women singers like Nellie Melba. the Australian coloratura soprano; Luisa Tetraz zii, Italian pupil of Ceccherinr, Ernestine Schumann'Heink, the Bohemian contralto who died in Los Angeles as recently as 1936. and Alma Gluck, the soprano from Buch arest, whose soulful singing of 'Carry Me Back To Old Virginny" in 1915 became thi- first Victor Red Seal disk to sell in excess of one million copies as World War 1 raged

IN triviATIONAL CHARTS. STARWOMEN ARE

EUROPE By MIKE HENNESSEY and PETER JONES

o he breakthrough of leale perlormers on a European

ó T m

recording scene hitherto dominated by male singers and groups IS attributable to two major factors. according to

m industry observers The first element. which became apparent around 1975.

was the greater acceptance of women artists as a result of the growth of the women's liberation movement.

Mike Mansfield, producer of the "Supersonic" pop series on British Independent Television, says The wornen's lib movement Is undoubtedly responsible to a large extent tor the recent chart invasion by girl singers."

In 1975, after a relatively lean period during the 1960s and early 1970s, girl artists began to make a big impact on the Eu ropean scene. At one time there were 18 girl singers in the U K top 50 in that year. a previously unheard of proportion

The second. and more recent factor. is the advent of punk rock. which has created a gap in the middle of the road area of popular music Aldan Day. programmer of Capital Radio in

London. sees the feminine breakthrough asa reaction against the male dominated punk rock idiom. An additional factor, particularly in the case of artists like Donna Summer and Men Wilson. is a much more liberal attitude in the broadcasting

p inedia to sexual innuendo. Decca's Frank Rodgers. brother of chart artist Clodagh Rod

pgers. says' "It used to be very hard for girl singers to make it to m the top. but the climate is different now and once the girls

break. they break big.' Fa Yet another factor Is the strong visual attraction of many m contemporary girl singers who are ideal for television spots o, For many years the best chance a girl artist had of success

in Europe was participation in the Eurovision song contest Ñ This is a fact which emphasizes the importance of the visual } element where girl perlormers are concerned In 22 Eurovi

stun contests since 1956, there have been no fewer than 15 female winners. plus tour others in mixed groups. In 1969

cc when four artists tied for first place. all were female - Salome w (Spain). Lulu (U K.), Lennie Kuhr (Holland) and Frieda Boc u- cara (France)

01 the handful of European female acts who have had a

long and successful career in pop, all without exception have said at some time or other that their rise to stardom would have been tar easier had they been of the opposite sex.

Female artists with abundant talent and dedication who have triumphed over the male chauvinist barrier include Shir ley Bassey, Dusty Springfield, Elkie Brooks. Sandie Shaw. Mary Hopkin. Lulu. Dana, Petula Clark and Sun Quatro. Then there are Kiki Dee. Tina Charles. Cilla Black, Julie Driscoll. all also of the U K.

Also included in the above group should be Diebold Cin guetta and Rita Pavone from Italy, Salome and Massiel from Spain, Sheila. Sylvie Vartan, Nana Mouskoun and Mireille Mathieu from France. Vicky Leandros, Donna Summer and Peggy March from Germany The list is by no means com plate, and some artists make it from countries other than their own, for example. Mouskoun, Greek born, but with on disk success stemming Iron France

It is doubtful if. 10 years ago, a singer tike Claire Hamill, who has four albums and two U S tours to her credit. could have made such a last upward climb as she has today. She landed a recording contract with Island when she was only 16 and she says 'A whole new chapter is starting forme now "

The same is true of diminutive Welsh star Bonnie Tyler who has had tremendous success In Europe with the singles "Lost in France" and "More Than A Lover," yet only 18 months afire

she was working in a small time group in her native Swansea Contrast this with the story of Elkot Brooks who had llii

misfortune to come into the business al a tune when the pub he face seemed firmly set against girl performers Says Elkie. "II has taken me 15 years to gel to the top and I think this may possibly he because I always determined to do things my way even though it was the hard way "

Bile's big breakthrough came last year from two succes ive hits, "Pearl's A Singer" and "Sunshine Alter The Rain."

Another huge success on the distaff side is Donna Summer, who rose to fame on the crest of the disco wave. -Love To Love You Baby" was one of the sexiest songs ever recorded, but even Donna was no overnight success because she had been working in the business tor eight years before that huge record hit.

Mike Mansfield notes: "This time last year out of 20 tapes I

received only two were by solo ladies. the rest were groups and male singers. Today the trend is almost totally reversed."

SONGWRITERS: SUSTAINING THE CREATIVE PULSE By GERRY WOOD

FirSt, a definition is in order. There are women writers and there are women writers.

Actually, there are Women writers and women Writers The former is more likely to be caught up in a cause; the

latter caught up in commerciality. The Women writers tend to write by. for, to. of and with themselves. Their cause is that kitchen revolution that erupted some years back when too many brilliant women were being strangled by apron strings, purse strings and umbilical cords.

They speak forcefully and musically of a problem that's taking centuries to correct: the suppression of talents, de- sires and dreams. Their music carries a message for men, too.

The women Writers are those commercial songcralters who turn out tunes with little or no conscious attempt to deal with the unique problems of women. Early Carole King. Late Cynthia Weil. But tremendous talents.

Let's talk about these commercially- oriented talents first. Some of the names may be tamiliar, some not.

Ann Ronell, for instance. She was the first woman tocom- pose and conduct for films. She scored One Touch Of Venus" and wrote songs for such movies as "Champagne Waltz" and "Main Street To Broadway."

Elsie Jams, a top songwriter and vaudeville star, was a

charter member of ASCAP in 1914. She was the first Amen. can to entertain the Allied Expeditionary Force in World War I. Janus wrote songs. musicals, films and books.

Dorothy Fields has written scores of hits over the years, in duding "The Way You Look Tonight," an Academy Award winner in 1936. She collaborated with such wnters as Jerome Kern, Sigmund Romberg, Cy Coleman and Morton Gould who es now writing a Broadway musical with Carolyn Leigh.

The names of great women Writers enrich the ranks of songwnters: Carly Simon, Carole King, Janis Ian, Judy Collins. Valerie Simpson. Cynthia Weil, Phoebe Snow, Helen Reddy, Joni Mitchell, Bully SaonteMarie, Felice Bryant, Jessi Colter. Donna Fargo. Joan Baez, Billie Holiday, Loretta Lynn, Mellisa Manchester, Fleecie Moore Jordan, Laura Nyro, Dolly Parton. Dory Preven, Tammy Wy

nette. Karla Bonolt. Carole Bayer Sager . lust to name a

small percentage of large talents. Using Helen Reddy's call to battle "I Am Woman" as its

tfienie, BMI is now working on a 60 page issue of its maga line that will be titled: "Women In Music."

Many are known for their singing talents as well as their abilities to craft lyrics and melodies.

How do they do it? Just like other writers: in different ways. Some maintain "office" hours to regiment their writing habits: others do it when the feel. ing hits.

Joan Baez, whose brilliant writing ability is often lost in the glamour of her recording and performing career, takes the cas ual approach. "I don't ever write out lyr. KS. partly because 1 can't spell." she explains. "I lust sit at the piano or with the guitar. or riding in the car and muck through a bunch of words. It it happens, it happens -and I try to remember the tune a few hours later."

Now that we're familiar with the names of some women Writers, let's turn to Women writers. (Continued an page Sí1.21)

to Etting was the most super of the temale superstars on rec- u- ords in the 1920s but it was portly Kate Smith who outlasted

them all. Both sold millions. Sister teams? There were the Trio, the Brox. the Duncan,

the Pickens and the Williams Sisters on disks. None enjoyed the popularity of the Boswells and Andrews who followed them, however.

In retrospect. the mid1920s also were the years in which epochal social and technological changes were introduced.

Black performers became a powerful factor on records. And electrical recording was perfected and introduced at a time when radio was making severe inroads on the sale of disks.

For black singers. making records opened new and lucrative careers. blasting apart accepted mores of oppression and discrimination which had prevailed on the U.S. for centuries. Singers like Ma Rainey. Mamie Smith, Bessie Smith, Adelaide Hall. Josephine Baker and Ethel Waters at long last were ac- corded national recognition via disks. The nation was a long way from its present day progress toward equality of races but, at worst, it was a start.

The '30s. despite the most disastrous economic depression in U.S history, brought more faithful sound on records. 400.000 jukeboxes, the dominance of big bands and record sales which saw women like Frances Langford. the ondestruct eble Kate Smith: the Lane sisters, Rosemary and Priscilla; Ger trude Niesen, Harriet Hilliard, Connee Boswell, working as a

single after her two sisters Martha and Vet retired; Ina Ray Hutton, conducting her eye -popping allfemme orchestra and singing capably. Lee Wiley, an Oklahoman with an Indian heritage: and the three whose records would outlive all the oth ers' shellacs. Billie Holiday, Mildred Bailey and Ella fil, gerald -all were the forerunners of what would become an unstoppable liberation of women in the arts.

Fitzgerald, still active, came out of the Chick Webb band. Others who. by the close of the decade, made indelible marks on disks were Helen Ward, Helen Humes, Helen Forrest, Helen O'Connell. Bea Wain, Doris Day. Maxine Sullivan, Ivie

Anderson, Dinah Shore and the versatile Mary Lou Williams, a

pianist, composer and arranger who today is teaching music al Duke Univ. She may well be the most gifted of all female musicians the U.S. has produced.

Among the best remembered hit platters of the late '30s are Ella Fitzgerald's singing of "ATiskel, ATaskel" with the

Webb band, Bonnie Baker's coy but effective readingof "Oh, Johnny" with Orrin Tucker's orchestra and Maxine Sullivan's lightly irreverent version of the traditional "Loch Lomond" with a Claude Thornhill pickup group. And, of course, the big-

gest selluiv of all. Patti, Maxene and LaVerne Andrews' roll.

'eking "Bei Mir Bost Du Schoen," surely the blockbuster of the decade from the distaff side.

In the country field Eva Davis and Samantha Bumgartner are credited, 50 years later, with being the first lemmes to make records. That was on the turbulent '20s. Maybelle and Sara Carter followed, and then came a long and rapidly ex panding parade of vocalists headed by Louise Massey. Patsy Montana, Elviry Weaver, Molly O'Day, Wilma Lee Cooper, Rose Maddox and Martha Carson.

They caught on -big. And so the flow gained momentum. Minnie Pearl, Patsy Clone, Kitty Wells, Wanda Jackson, Jean Shepard. Liz Anderson, Jan Howard, Lynn Anderson. Bonnie Guitar, Skeeter Davis, Wilma Burgess, Sue Thompson and Dottie West all enjoyed top selling biscuits. Their triumphs spawned others: Jeannie C Riley, Billie Jo Spears. Connie Smith, Tanya Tucker, Barbara Fairchild, Jessi Colter. Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette. Barbara Mandrell, Donna Fargo and Crystal Gayle.

The 1940s brought rapidly accelerating country and pop record sales, a catastrophic World War I I and increasing popularity of female performers -they were called orioles, spar. rows and chirptes within the music industry in those days.

America's big bands were dying, but from them came Peggy Lee, Kay Starr, Jo Stafford, Margaret Whiting. Lena Home, Dinah Washington, Anita O'Day. Ella Mae Morse. Mar. tha Tilton and Kitty Kalten, all of whom dominated record sales by the end of the decade.

All of them, moreover, appeared in motion pictures and were generously aired on radio, live as well as on disks. Judy Garland got her start in vaudeville, segued into films and until her death ranked as a giant -a prolific recorder whose career on disks lasted 30 years.

New names popped up in profusion in the 1950s. And the, appeared because of success on records -Julie London. Patti Page, Mary Ford. Sarah Vaughan, June Christy, Eydie Gorme, Chris Connor, Pearl Bailey, Carmen McRae, Helen Merrill, Rosemary Clooney, Sylvia Syms -but who outsold them all?

Blonde Doris Day, who suddenly became a maton motion picture star after doing the one reghter trail with Les Brown tor years, stored with i'very release, But Page and Clooney pushed her hied N,rver hail so many records by women been sold

Slat ford, Lee. Starr, f it rerald and Shore from previous years also thrived as the new LP 1n,r,ted interest in albums and the 45 goosed single sales

Rock'n'roll ruled the roost as time moved into the '60s and, to a degree, femme performers suffered. But with Viet Nam and its ramifications came abrupt social changes. Joan Baez caught on quickly with her messages. Barbra Streisand swept in like a cyclone on records and in pictures. Aretha Franklin disseminated black music -based on blues -to a widening market, while Diana Ross. the Supremes and Nancy Wilson

added still more new converts to black music. Janis Joplin. Dionne Warwick, Bettye Swan, Nancy Sinatra. Dusty Springfield. Bobbie Gentry, Lesley Gore, Petula Clark, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins. Carole King and Cher Bono. Melanie and Sandy Posey all prospered by serving up sounds and songs that restless American youth demanded.

Still, some of the old -timers were not forgotten. Records made by Peggy Lee. Ella Fitzgerald. Kay Starr, Judy Garland, Doris Day, Mildred Bailey. Billie Holiday and Lena Horne still moved profitably . .. and these were artists whose careers had spanned 30 or more years. Garland, Bailey and Holiday are now deceased but Lee, Fitzgerald, Starr. Day and Home are still around, healthy and. one presumes, still capable of churning out a het with the nght song. the right arrangement and the right label to promote it.

Now it ns the 1970s. the tail -end of yet another decade. The names on the charts are different.

Will Linda Ronstadt, Debby Boone, Diana Ross, Natalie Cole, Streisand, Donna Summer, Thelma Houston and the re-

markable platoon of other contemporary female recording queens of the '70s sustain their popularity until theend of the 20th century?

Ah now, that's a question for which there is no answer. But we'll risk a guess as to the future: with the imminent acceptance by millions of music consumers of the videocassette and videodisk, tomorrow's song ladies will be forced to combine exceptional singing with irresistible physical attractiveness and consummate showmanship.

The Europe Scene , .- ,inrd faun

Even the punk movement has its distaff side. The Slits, who are making a considerable career by cultivating a noisy and disreputable image are making an impact on the male dorm nated punk scene and 19 year.old ex -copy typist Poly Styrene. with braces on her teeth, is creating a remarkable reaction.

An indication that the male stranglehold is far from elimi nated comes from the story of Koko Dee, who despite her own prodigious talent had to associate herself with male superstar Elton John before achieving the international breakthrough that had been so long deserved.

But one of the strangest stories is that of Julie Covington. An actress basically. she had an enormous hit with --Don't Cry For Me Argentina," and a chart -topping album for her work as part of a rock trio in the tv series "Rock Follies Yet she turns her back on the trinutmirjhreOteletn wrmAetlyg sk success doesn't worry he, at all.

creasingly the term being applied for photo graphing recording artists. When it comes to female artists, there is more recognition now of using an honest photographic approach, less of the idealized and fantasized approach

Professionals, photographically and mu wally. note differing experiences with pho tography. depending on whether they're looking through the lens or at it

What is the ideal photo session situation' Olivia Newton John prefers to be photo

graphed at home "I like doing photo sessions at home be

cause I feel more relaxed there," she admits before adding that "although. very often they're done in a studio

"I like soft photos and look for individual style. how the person uses lighting and his

ability to make a women look attractive when choosing a photographer I've always used head shots on my album covers be

cause I've never had a full shot taken that I

liked as well." "I don't think there is an ideal photo ses.

sion situation, opines Canadian song stress Anne Murray "To me the best shots are candid. because I don't like to pose. I like to and always try to give photographers a free hand -they're artists. too, and have their own ideas of what you're like But, there are a lot of portrait photographers who put you in positrons that no human being can gel in- unless you're a contortionist. I really dis like those kind of sessions. but knowing pictures are so neces sary. I go along with it "

Norman Seeff, whose list of star women -

photo credits includes Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, Lily Tomlin. Natalie Cole, Jane Ohr

von, Helen Reddy. Phoebe Snow. Dionne Warwick, Joan Baez arid Cher, to name a

few, has the utmost concern for developing a positive relationship based on trust with the artist he is photographing.

Realizing a couple of years ago that the photo session itself was a unique expert once, Seeff began bringing in film and sound crews to record the photo sessions for a feature length film that will be released at the end of the year.

"Instead of looking at the photo session as a picture making procedure, I

look at it more as a kind or relationship and expert

ence with the artist," Seeff explains. "02..\ the past couple of years, I've developed the photo session as the art form, not so much even thinking about the picture as the art form it's experiential filmmaking- creating an experience for the artist to go through."

Seeff does these sessions with a him and sound "media band" of more than 15, and very often has an audience at the sessions. Artists who enlist his creative services are often aware of his work and come to him be cause they want to be involved with it. Nev ertheless. Seel' is very aware of helping art ists relax in this situation so that both parties get the ultimate results from the

hoto /film session "We have a whole systematic way of work-

ing." Seell relates. "We put the artist through various techniques which basically

affect them emotionally or affect their body language specifically.

When photographing some one. what's going on with them inside will show on the outside So I may do something like get into certain breathing tech niques, to gel the artist to

III Another frequently mentioned reason for women's increas tL ing role is the type of music that has gained in populanity

recently. Says Ross "Fleetwood Mac opened the door for equality. Suddenly, that was the first equal opportunity band. and I think it also opened a door for more listenable music that has enabled women to be on the charts a lot more

That is. the popularity o1 softer rock has allowed more suc cess for women who according to Kathy Boudreau of Los An-

geles' Music Plus retail chain "still haven't hit the heavier rock category- except the Runaways who are an entity to them selves." Agrees Arthur- "The last message we got from the Beatles, with tunes like 'Hey Jude,' and 'Michelle' was 'stay soft And a lot of people now are staying with it "

For whatever reasons, the change is there and has inevita bly had its effects in all areas of the business, whether or not the affected are aware of it. An interesting change is in radio. where Orewexplains "There used to be a hard and fast rule at top 40 stations that they wouldn't play two female vocalists back to back. That rule isn't as hard and fast as it was It ex fisted as a way to program variety, because historically very few females hit the charts, so it would be like playing two or three instrumentals back to back Recently, there have been so many records to play by females that old hard and fast rule has been rendered virtually impossible "

To an artist such as Elliman, the changes brought about by her own sudden recognition this past year alter years in the business have directly affected her lifestyle and music. Of changing attitudes towards her in the business. she says '

comes when they realize you are a potential profit maker Its all becoming so much of a rush now. I don't even know if I can take it, but I suppose t will adapt. don't want it to gel so

crazy. It's so important that you lust keep that love for music, and you don't turn d into lust a profession "

And, for Arthur, he finds a distinct ddlerence in the studio when producing women "A lot of the finer musicians,' he ex

plains, "play differently with a woman. There's something in

furtively romantic about their playing, and I'm an incurable ro mantic about my work There's an amazing ambience. almost goose fleshy, and what it results in is a great take "

At Columbia, vice president of a &r Don Ellis lound that last year "we really made our point of view with four different un

known female artists (Valerie Carter, Libby Titus, Karla Bo

null and Katy Moffat) al one time, got them all started on

meaningful careers. and are making second records with all

of them. I hear more tapes and see more women who are not city performers but also creators. so that means I would be r ,n, with more rut them."

However. Ellis does not feel that success will necessarily at test policy in the signing of artists at Columbia He says. "The fact of the matter is that whether it's a man. woman or dog act. if the artistry was there we would make the record I'm not going to go out and find more women now because they're having greater success. but I'm certainly not going to shy away from signing women either "

Looking ahead, it will be interesting to see if women are able to bring their 30°0 40°o share of the charts up to an equal 50 Drew thinks so He explains: "If were talking about society. where men and women are going to be more equal, I would like to think that will be the case in the charts Women today are demanding a bigger voice. they are more involved Yes. think 50 °° is reasonable."

And Arthur concurs. "I think it has to keep going. We've yet to tap the sources of the girls There is potentially a female Beatles out there. or Rolling Stones It has to grow; it's a natu rat process. I think we're gonna look at a pretty hefty 50/50 soon "

The Mexican Polygram company. still called Polydor, has concentrated heavily on a couple of unknowns since 1976. And although there has been no appreciable success so lar, the label still has high hopes for Dulce and Paulyna. the latter recently hitting with the strong selling "Todo Es Por Tr."

One of the impressive factors of women in music in Latin American is that when they hit. there is durability in staying power Their earnings are not the same as in the U.S. or cer tain countries of Western Europe, consequently. they aim for acceptance in records. nightclubs and tv.

Ñ MAKING IT: YESTERDAY AND TO By JOE X PRICE

It is a well known tact in the record industry that the Amen can female has always outspent the American male in the

Natalie Cole record stores across the country. For manifold reasons. some obvious, some not. girls have traditionally paid closer heed to the phonograph record and the artists who make them than txlys. Hence. assuming that the universal likes repel unlikes at tract law applies here, it follows that the male recording artist

would enjoy far greater success at the record stalls than the fe male artist Indeed, this has been the case through the decade as evidenced by even the most cursory glance al the national best

has always exploited the talents of women Alma Gluck. the first American female singer to sell over a million rec

Also, it is said that blues singer Bessie Smith helped save Colum bia Records troni bankruptcy in the early 1920s and then was forced to watch the growth of a con

glomerate from the sidelines Now. however. as society gives vent to demands

tor equality between the sexes. we are witnessing some changes Even at point of purchase, the female artist is beginning to make herself heard- For example, in 1977, according to Billboard's compos to singles albums chart for that year, a total of 2` distaff singers had bestselling records, this, compare,: with the same chart of a decade earlier. 1967, when the femme singer list went only nine deep

While this 10 year difference hardly represents a total rever sal in trend, the near-three times increase inerumbers is significant Whether or not it is a reflection of the worldwide women's liberation movement is moot Are the feminists carrying out their hard-sell techniques so effectively that they are making themselves felt in ar tistic realms as well?

INSTRUMENTAL WOMEN IN MUSIC W it lust a minute! Bussing in the music business' To

put an end to discrimination? Segregation? Well, not exactly, but there is a new gimmick that has been

adopted by about one-third of all major U S. symphony orchestras which is designed to assure that no sex -bias is prat ticed at preliminary auditions It's called (what else') behind the screen auditioning.

You guessed it, the player does his or her thing on his or her instrument while sitting behind a partition of some kind Meanwhile. a committee of orchestra members m the particular section they're auditing sits out front with the conductor. They decide upon who takes the empty chair on the basis of the sounds they hear alone. Get it? Sight unseen- sound heard.

Consequently. because of this and a few other judgmental innovations of similar purpose. the percentage of active fe

male members in U S symphony orchestras has swelled by about 36% over the last 10 years. according to a recent survey conducted by Symphony News Magazine The survey reveals that whereas a decade ago. women comprised lust 18.3% of membership in orator U.S symphonies, today they number 24_9%.

The increase in women in metropolitan orchestras is also impressive In the middle '60s. 36 5% of the members were women, today it's 40.6%. an increase of about 9% over the same span

with my own needs. me as the mother which has got to conic first. me as the musician and me as the socially conscious, politically motivated type."

Minnie Riperton with her 5i'z octave range acknowledges , she's had an image problem in terms of being labelled some

thing she wasn't. "If you're black you have to be r &b and that's ridiculous,"

she says calmly in her Los Angeles home. "Almost every label wanted to sign me at one tune -but as soon as they saw me they didn't know what to do with me I'll never sign if I have to be viewed as either or "

For Helen Reddy what one sees and hears is "Me. I'm not acting out a character." She does acknowledge that she'll change a word to make the song "mare personal to me. I'm singing from a female's point of view, but I'm not singing to females. I tend to pick songs upfront that I can relate to as a woman."

How easy is it to find such material? -It's one in maybe 100 which hits home."

Reddy says touring is a lonelier life for a woman than it is for a man since men and their groups can easily hang out to gether. "I don't mind being by myself (when she has to). I

have a lot of solitary hobbies I can indulge in." Being a star has not affected her personal life, she says. "I

travel plus Jeffrey (Jeff Wald, her husband í manager) You do have to plan more carefully: df you don't draw attention to yourself people don't bother you. There are some performers who are on all the time. I'm not one of them."

Eydie Gorme says she's never rehearsed an image for show business (but she does candidly state: "I am a very neurotic person "), "but I have been around stars who do rehearse their image."

Gorme says she feels an audience "pays a lot of money to be entertained and I like my audience to go out on an up. But most of the time I am not on an up."

One would not know that while viewing her and husband Steve cavorting onstage In Las Vegas where their combination of singing talents and comedic byplays makes them the top husband'wife duo in show business.

Gorme, whose been warbling professionally since 1953 (with the Tex Beneke band and then the "Steve Allen" NBC. TV nightly show) finds that the various media affect the per former.

Working recently on a 90 minute special on Irving Berlin for NBC-TV (which should air this spring) she says tv soundwise produces a restricted performance. "It's difficult being a

recording star to come into tv. You can't believe the unions don't know how to get good sound. And then you may be the greatest singer but some guy can't touch some piece of equip ment because of some union ruling so the sound doesn't come out right. They're still working with 3 tracks.

"With live concerts. you get the performance but you don't get the sound. Disk is the best medium," she says in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel following a rehearsal for the Berlin tv show which will include husband Steve, Oscar Peter son, Sammy Davis Jr. and Carol Lawrence.

Gorme is staunch in her opinion that being an entertainer has affected her personal and private life. She speaks of 20 years of -exquisite pain and exquisite pleasure. On the road we work and kill ourselves. At home we prepare to work and kill ourselves."

My shortcomings in being an entertainer? -Not spending enough time with the kids (boys 17 and 15) There is no sem blence of a private life Maybe if I had one I'd hate it.

Gorme says onstage she sings for herself and trusts the au deuce likes her choices and has never consciously aimed her act at one particular segment of the audience- "When a

record company told me what to do, she notes, "and I did it, t

never had a hit " Assuming the talent is there, Gorme feels a woman has a

good chance of cracking the industry today "First of all," she says, "women can go around alone. I had a manager I bribed to tell people about me at auditions. I didn't have the courage to talk for myself. And when started out male singers domi noted."

Ella Fitzgerald recalls that when she started out nearly 40 years ago songs were geared for male singers Today, she finds the climate much more open and she's blending tunes by Carole King and Barry Manilow into her act to appeal to the youngsters who accompany their parents to her gigs. The par eras, of course, regale in her jazz flavored specialties.

Fitzgerald says in her day Pouring with a band was paying one's dues. Her first raise came when Jimmy Lunceford threatened to steal her from the Chick Webb band and Webb raised her to $75 a week.

And while she was singing with the bands she often dressed "in the bass fiddle case or in the bus. There were no dressing rooms in some places . In those days we took what we could get. Today, acts can say no." So can Fitzgerald who is financially well oiled and can pick and choose her jobs.

Joan Baez notes that show business is terribly difficult When was beginning on 1959) I could sing folk songs. Now, when you go to a record company they ask you what can you write." Joan is into writing now and likes to compose from one half to three quarters of her LPs

He does tour with her Says Joan: "He's my first priority and I'd like to be around to enjoy him growing up I can't say I want to situn and be arrested because that's not good for him."

Minnie Riperton says she doesn't know how to create a show business image. "My music." she says, "is me so I'm not being someone else. I was one of the first few women songwriter singer.producers of the 70s," she says in her L.A. home, "to get her message across."

One of the problems in being a woman in show business is dealing with the "male record company executives attitude that a woman is a sex object, not a learned person Most men see a woman as a tool."

Onstage, Minnie is a lithe. delicately moving singer 01f stage she says she doesn't intentionally seek a sexy image "I don't think about going on and being sexy. I love loving and my appreciation for the people in the audience may conic off as sensuality because I like to 'touch' the people. But I don't try to get the guys going: it goes a lot deeper than the physical attraction "

Being in the spotlight has riot hurt Mmnre's private life. "I really feel I'm lucky," she comments, "because I get to be me at all times. My kids (a son 10, a daughter six) go on the road with me because they're part of my Ile "

These women superstars all agree that being female has not given them any unique advantage over their male coun terparts

But as Eydie Gorme explains with flaying hands and fiery eyes "It's preposterous to think you can be a great star, great wife. great mother, thrill millions, thrill your husband and be the thinnest person in the world It's not possible to be all those things "

The Creative Pulse (',ruciriireiI (Min /rage \' II t.

Helen King, founder of Song Registration Service In Los An geles, has her finger on the pulse of today's Woman writer in musk. "Talented young women songwriters have accepted the challenge and have made inestimable contributions to our cultural and human growth," King notes.

"These women are writing strong songs about strong women, about their changes, their struggles and the strength they are starting to feel individually and, most awesome and inspiring, the strength that comes with common commit woof 'nufu,al ':uppnrt and unity."

The battles are major, King says, but the women have the guns and ammunition. "The popular songwriter possesses one of the most powerful cultural tools -the talent to comma nrcafe the rhythms and struggles of life through music and lyrics. Writers have the responsibility to project new concepts on the airwaves, and the taste makers in the music hierarchy have the responsibility to listen, expose and allow the au drence to evidence its approval, disapproval. support or judg men! at the record counters "

Boosting Women writers are such ventures as Olivia Rec- ords in Oakland. It's an all women music collective, a first on

cooperative music production. Olivia distributes its own, as well as other labels, through a

camlrywide independent distribution network of women who manage. retail, wholesale and promote in their own com. mundles.

Olivia maintains a tape library of demos submitted by women songwriters. Any woman who wants a sample of mate rial can send in a blank cassette noting the type of music she wants Olivia's next goal is to buy a recording studio. The label happily reports its sales are booming.

Redwood Records in Ukiah, Calif., was formed five years ago because Holly Near was receiving so many requests for her album after performing in concerts. Only one problem. she didn't have an album

So, with the help of Jeff Langley, she recorded an album in a little home studio. Redwood was formed to fill the need. Since then, Holly has recorded two more LPs -and the three albums combined have sold nearly 100,000 copies.

The records are carried in many major record stores across the country and in several foreign nations. including Japan, Germany and Australia Redwood also distributes two song. books

Redwood is now owned and run by Holly Near, Amy Horo- witz. Marsha Cummings and Trudy Fulton Its new project, now being recorded, is a group of black women singers from Washington, D C.- "Sweet Honey In The Rock "

"Our goal is to put out artistically high quality music that speaks to issues in people's lives, especially women's lives," comments Near. -We feel the songs on AM radio don't convey this."

Though her songs speak mainly about the issue of women and directly to the women. Near advises, "Men who feel se cure find rt interesting to hear songs from a woman's perspec- tive."

Then she adds an opinion that fires the furnaces of these r burning women creators "I get a lot of mail from people who m

have been at the concerts who say their lives were changed -I 73

love hearing that kind of response." Judging from the achievements of Women writers and

women Writers over the past years -with many of the victories N being won despite stubborn resistance -the future looks as ai bright Ind rlrar as the sow; of a lark

So were working on a psychological and emo- tional level to aflect their inner feelings which always get translated into body language.

"We're very involved in many of the growth disciplines and sell-awareness ideas but. at the same time, the minute we begin to work, we forget all of that and lust go Into all of the ways that we can become spontaneous How to get to that point of pure inspiration and spontaneity. and reach your highest po tential there, is what the creative process is all about I've found that women have an ability to be very intuitive in situations like that They're often less threatened by cameras than men are.

"One way to be spontaneous is to give up all your precon ceptions about what you ward to do. So I lust go out there and face them and begin to tell them everything that goes on with me. in terms of my feelings. very honestly, and it begins to build up trust

"That's the first step, because it the artist doesn't trust you they'll be defensive and those feelings will be related in the photographs. Verbal communication and actual behavior have to be the same And. It's a 'win win' game -we both want the best results."

Raeanne Rubenstein. who, besides photographing various album covers, has recorded images of females as well as males in her book "Honky Tonk Heroes -A Photo Album of Country Music," also feels that a positive artist i photographer relationship is imperative in a successful photo session situ anon

'It's important to have enough time to establish some sort of rapport with the artist so that I understand who they are and they, in turn. are willing to put themselves in my hands and trust that will do my best as a photographer." Ruben stein says.

An artist should be aware when doing a photo session that photography is an art as much as the photographer is aware that their music is an art One of the most destructive situations a photographer can be in is where the person has no respect for the fact that the photographer is facing enormous technical and visionary challenges everyt me she picks up her camera. If an artist doesn't realize that, then a session can be come terrible. sort of a battle.

"Many limes women are more concerned with looking al- tractive on an album cover and aren't really too interested in

the photographer's technique or innovation So even if I'm trying to do something experimental or slightly outrageous, I'm always conscious of making her look attractive."

Rubenstein has found that most women artists will work very hard for the right kind of picture

"I have an enormous respect for them in that regard. be cause many times they really don't know what you're doing "

And the lady photographer has an interesting theory about predicting an artist's rise to stardom by the way they react to a photo session situation.

"I find that there's a direct correlation between the success of an artist in terms of their career and how they work in a

photo session." she explains. "I've said to many record corn panics and personal managers that if they're deciding whether or not they should really promote or take on an artist. they should let me do a photo session first and I'll tell them right away whether or not the person is going to make it If a

person has the ability to work hard, project and to be inter esting in front of a camera that's being held by a person they don't know anything about, then they'll be able to do it for an audience as well. It's something that's very innate."

Murray and Newton John both agree that, rather than presenting an image. their main interest is getting an attractive picture from the photo session

"I never try to really create any image necessarily. think people do that for you," Murray feels. "People make up their own minds about what you are and who you are. But I do like tor the album graphics to relate something about the music inside the album."

Newton-John feels that her stage image is a little different Irom her album image. but likes the idea of presenting two different sides of herself

"I'm really portraying emotions and feelings and who the subject is rather than some sort of conceptual idea on a

cover," Seefl points out "Instead of thinking of graphics and images, I'm thinking more about working with the artist as human being -a living. breathing, feeling reality

"My feedback Iron) artists in general is that they prefer to be treated much more on an honest level now -not idealized or turned into some fantasy They want to be themselves and relate to the public at large lust as themselves, The elements of hype and overkill and turning people into fantasies -that kind of thing is lolling awry The artists and the public are more sophisticated than before

"What has previously been categorized as packaging and commercial art is suddenly being re evaluated as art. Every piece of imagery that cornes out becomes part of the collective mind Imagery affects society -most classically with the Beat les What happened wasn't lust because of the music -it was the whole visual and conceptual image that was put together with the music."

"Cover art has gotten into exploring the personality of the artist more in terms of what they are and the kind of music they do," Rubenstein feels "And photographers are being

allowed to expermMnt more and more in the area! vealmg what the artist andTs- wwMt -n-e

Rubenstein also feels that album art is becoming a new avenue for photographic expression.

-It's becoming increasingly recognized that album covers. as well as music, sell albums. The photographer is becoming much more of an integral part of the process. Record companies and managers are discovering that if you put the right photographer with the right artist, you can get an image that will really impress itself on people's minds.

"Album cover art is a beautiful marriage between the vision of the photographer and the music of the artist," she adds. "Now that people who buy album art are recognizing this, the future is going to bring more and more amazing and exciting innovations in photography "

Yesterday And Today Continued from page SW.211

of it "It doesn't hurt to be a woman right now, she states. "When I signed with Capitol (in July, 1970). I Think I had been turned down by every major label, including some minor ones, because I was a woman I think it's lust a question of timing. I

think that music reflects the culture of the times. Now at least they're pulling us (women) in different categories -r&b, jazz rock, et cetera, without too much concern for sex."

Speaking from the point of view of a male music business executive is Al Bennett, president of fledgling Cream Records and former president of Liberty /UA Records. He attributes the emergence of the woman singer to the music business itself

"Everything starts within the industry." he avers. "The reason for the tremendous acceptance of the female singer today is because of the type of music that gets accepted. It's as simple as that."

Peggy Lee, when asked it she thought it was harder today for a female singer to break into the business than it was dur Ing the '40s and '50s. agrees with Bennett -to a point

"It depends upon who's behind them -in a promotional way. But the tension today may be worse -because of the type of music they're doing. plus the keener competition It seems to me they start out more with a recording background than anything else, and then they have the professionals to help them That would be an advantage for them "

Slick, speaking from her San Francisco-based Jefferson Starship office, explains the emergence of the sexually mixed group today thus: "Men want to hear more hrgh.end range and it's the opposite for women they're enthralled with the low -end ranges. Most AM singles are heavy with bass sounds- vocal, bass and bass drum That leads the AM sound. Were not into that, we're not into selling singles. That's why like singing with males, you have something for everyone I admire Linda Ronstadt for being able to carry doff by herself "

Reddy. who admits that earlier in her career she used to seek out females to work with, has let her guards down con- siderably of late: ''I found myself favoring the female I used to seek them out, even to the engineer in the recording booth. Now I try to disregard sex entirely and go for the most quail tied. which is hopefully what this is all about."

"It takes tremendous courage and endurance to sort out the bullshit from the positive feedback you get." says as-yet- unrecognized Janet Berkshire. 22 year old singer percus sionionist fresh from Omaha "Sometimes you get so frustra- ted that you can't pull yourself out of the downers. There are definitely highs as well as lows, but all of it is extremely drain- ing psychologically and emotionally. I feel that becoming a success has as much to do with being in the right place at the right time as having the talent one needs -"

Veteran star Lee concludes. "I started out with a college orchestra and then sang with Will Osborn before foining Benny (Goodman) My way we had sort of a boot camp with the big bands: you learned as you went along. The steps we took might have been slow, but they have been sure. I was very shy being the only female. but they (men) rather respected that It roust be very difficult for young women to get started today But I think things will eventually turn around again -where men are men and vice versa Because that's the way it's supposed to be."

Of the 72 acts signed to United Artists Records today, 20 of them are female; of Elektra's 71 acts. 15 are female, and of the 156 acts signed to Warner Bros.. only 32 are of the femi nine gender

You've come a long way, baby is the popular phrase. but it seems, after all is said and done, women still have quite a way In go

Because the men in control will bend and you'll get a lot of people in jazz who don't deserve to be , . if you know what I mean."

Bobbi Humphrey. who copped first place for jazz flutist of the year in 1975 76 77 in the Ebony Music Poll and who now culs for Epic, doesn't agree with Williams on the sex issue: "I've never looked at it from the female standpoint There has to be raw talent to sustain an act. Audiences are much more sophisticated these days You can't put one over on the public if you can't sustain, 1pale."

will then he expanded to include other discos which now feature only recorded music.

Arons stales that although this is the first time since the resurgence of disco in this country that Local 802 has picketed a club, the union has in the past successfully used this leverage against the discus of the I9SQs,

beginning with Shcphcards discotheque which today features a regular mix of both live and recorded music.

On the first night of picketing the union's action did not stop any of the invited guests from attending the Studio 54 pans, but it did raise the ire of club co-owner Ian Schrager who pointed out that everything for the party was donated, and if the musicians union wanted its members to play it could have offered to donate their services.

Schrlger's scnumcnts were echoed by Bobby Zorcm, publicist for the "I Love New York" campaign, wlm characterized the so nl

action as selfish and charged t ha t !lie action was geared to get publicity

He added. "It would have been wondrous to have live nisi' nano playing tonight, but they (the musicians) did not offer their services."

Musicians locals in other parts of the country, particularly in the Mid- west, have been picketing disco- theques for some hole It is believed that the action by Local 802. the largest and most powerful in the country, will help stimulate efforts by other locals.

Curiously, however. Local 802's actions come at a time when many metropolitan clubs are already offering a mix of live and recorded music in an effort to boost sagging attendance.

Among the clubs following this policy are Starship Discovery I.

which has five locations in the LA. area (not counting 13 Red Onion restaurants separately owned by Host international) wants to lease space in the McCulloch Oil building on Wilshire Blvd. between West- wood Blvd. and Glendon Ave. in Westwood.

But Yaroslaysky wrote a letter to Ron Newman, president of Red On ion and one of its four owners, advis- ing him that a conditional use permit from the city of Los Angeles was necessary before the state of California could grant the estab- lishment a liquor license. And the councilman stated that he would publicly oppose the granting of the permit.

Yaroslaysky'sletter said, in part: "Today, there are 17 movie

theatres. more than 50 restaurants and countless other entertainment- related enterprises in the small area of Westwood Village. The resulting congestion has created one of the mint severe traffic problems in all of Los Angeles.

"As an example. the intersection of Westwood and Wilshire Blvds. carries more than 90.000 vehicles daily -one of the busiest in the world.

"In addition. the homeowners in

the surrounding area are reaching the limas of their patience with the intrusion (that) Westwood entertainment seekers are making on their lives.

"Today. Westwood-area homeowners cannot find a parking space in front cut their homes in the evening or on weekends. they are sub- jected to increasing noise and debris in their neighborhoods. and they suffer most from the traffic problems."

Newman denies that his restaurant /disco will cause any of these four social ills:

Parking -"There's no street parking permitted: it's a commercial area. Besides. there are 1.2(10 parking places in the office structure." The charge lvor all cars entering after 6 p.m. is SI. There are also two ad- Joining ground -level lots with similar charges.

Noise-it's an office high -rise. thcre's no residential property in the immediate area to disturb."

2 LARGE ORGANIZATIONS

Chi Pools Enroll I 250 Subscribers

By ALAN PENCHANSKY

CHICAGO -Subscribers to disco pools now number almost 250 here, with the area the pools service encompassing Wisconsin and Indiana.

Clubs and spinners are supplied by two large, well -managed organizations, which divide the market along racial lines, for the most pan.

Product flows to the predomi- nately black south side through the Dogs Of War, a pool operated by Eddie Thomas, veteran radio promoter.

According to Thomas. three full - time employes serve the pool, with new recordings distributed at Dogs headquarters at 2112 S. Michigan.

Thomas says spinners from as far away as Indianapolis attend the weekly product sampling and distn- huúon meetings.

Audio Talent Inc., an off -shoot of the radio promotion firm Bedno- Wright, services its subscribers with actual deliveries, and has recently begun making stops in Wisconsin.

Rocky Jones, who delivers the product. says he visits clubs in Mil- waukee, Lake Geneva, Eau Claire and elsewhere in Wisconsin.

According to Jones. Audio Talent signs up clubs and jocks, but delivers at the club. He also visits key disco retailers, bringing information

about club and product development

Cost of the Audio Talent service is

S25 -$35 monthly, depending upon locale. The group claims 130 subscribers, with the number growing.

Dogs Of War assesses its members 520 monthly and claims a membership of 100 jocks.

A third, much smaller spinners' group here is Inner Circle Program- mers Assn.. with a membership of key north side dcejays.

That group claims not to be a

record pool, though its members are receiving some product directly. The group's goal is to foster bigger disco attendance through more uniformity in the quality of music, says spokesman Grant Smith, who spins at Banannas.

inner Circle meetings feature an interchange of information about new releases, import cuts, mixing. etc.. aimed at sharpening members' skills. The group has published two Issues of a feedback sheet which is

distributed to record companies. Vanished from the Chicago disco

scene is the north side Disco -Tech pool that was influential here almost two years ago. "Disco -Tech evapo- rated because of bad management," one insider reports.

Committee Hustles To Aid WVOE

By JEAN WILLIAMS LOS ANGELES -WVOE In

Chadbourne. N.C., one of the re

portcdly fewer than 50 black -owned stations in the country. has a new

group called the Concerned Conn.

mince To Save WVOE, which hopes to breathe new life into the financially troubled outlet.

The committee comprised of a

cross section of about 20 industry executives met recently in Fayetteville. N.C., to discuss methods to keep the doors of WVOE open.

Among those traveling to Fayette- ville for the meeting were entertainer Lloyd Price, Larry Hayes, general manager of WEEN. Bir- mingham; Scott Levin of Old World Records: James Pippin. general manager, WRKB, Knoxville. Jack Gibson. publisher. Jack the Rapper. Joe Medlin. Brunswick Records. Bob Carl Bailey. WZZA, Muscle Shoals. Ala.; Buddy King, ICA Rec- ords: Ru Rose, WAAA, Winston - Salem. S.C., and others.

The committee is also digging into its own pocket giving the station working capital. In addition. the executives have hired a consulting en-

o !pricer to go to WVOE and make a

ástudy of the stauon's pattern and p power. m The group has also retained a

_I Washington. D.C., attorney trained m in FCC law for the outlet. m According to a member of the m committee, "Most industry people

don't understand why we're going acs¡ all -out to help this one small station. 3- They feel the station isjust too small

for all this attention "They also say that people in this

mbusiness don't care about small stave bons in small towns which don't u,

really influence the buying habits of the marker

"That's a lot of crap. There are so

feu black -owned stations in the country, each is vital and should be supported because that's one more black voice.

"We blacks are constantly shouting unity: we have got to stick together and we scream for black ownership. What the hell dues it all mean when we get off the soapbox with all that rhetoric if we can see a

station in trouble and don't help' After all. it takes a lot to get a license to operate a station and there's nn such thing as an unimportant radio outlet."

U.S. Promoters Help Jamaicans Island Govt. Launches Reggae Drive As Tourist Lure

NEW YORK -The Jamaican government. in an effort to promote reggae music as a cultural resource. has contracted with two U.S- promoters to book and stage reggae concerts at a modem government - owned resort on the island's north shore.

Michael Epstein, owner of Long Island's My Father's Place. and Warren Smith of San Francisco's reggae- oriented Epiphany label. will launch the venture Friday (24) with groups Burning Spear. Culture and the Soul Syndicate appearing in cuneen at the Island Music Center. formerly called the Trelawny Beach Club.

Located in Falmouth, the club and adjacent hotel were built by the government several years ago although it has remained virtually unused. According to Epstein, the government hopes to lure tourists to the island's north side by offering "a sort of Club Mediterranean deal" whereby tourists get sunshine, hotel accommodations and plenty of reggae music.

Falmouth is located approximately 25 miles east of the Montego Bay airfield. Club Mediterranean provides resort fare slanted to the 25-40 age bracket.

Prior to this development most of the island's tourist activity was centered around Kingston. on the south shore and plush Montego Bay to the north where more traditional en-

Ito Ills h MLISSER

tertainment such as lounge acts and calypso bands held sway.

Only one or two small clubs featured the somewhat controversial reggae music that is currently in vogue among white U.S. college students and Jamaicans living overseas.

Despite Its popularity abroad, however, reggaes association with the island's pot smoking Rastafarian cull initially caused the government to take an ambivalent view of the music. which had surpassed calypso as the countrys chief musical export.

Epstein, who has been hosting weekly reggae nights at his club for several years now, is credited with introducing the music to the white suburban college -age young adults who make up his audience.

Over the past year. several Jamai- can groups have been touring the U.S., with college town clubs and other small venues as their target audience.

These appearances, represented by acts such as Toots and the May - tals, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley and others, warmed the air for a subsequent influx of recorded product most of it coming from the U.K.-based Island Records and its Mango imprint,

Within the past year, largely through the efforts of Lister Hewen- Lowe, director of Mango Records. reggae has been added to many college playlists, with some schools making it a regular feature.

More recently, Ralph Mercado Management of New York, which had specialized in booking and promoting Latin acts around the country, helped arrange a tour for Toots & the Maytals. The 10 -city, I2-day tour ended Tuesday (13). The May - tals are now in West Africa, another area winch has demonstrated its appreciation of the reggae beat.

According to Epstein. the Jamai- can government is becoming more convinced of the economic necessity of plugging the reggae form and is considering changing the programming on its airlines from calypso to reggae.

The Island Music Center, described as "being as modern as any Catskill resort ballroom," holds L500 persons. Epstein and Smith note that the room has been completely renovated to provide an up- to- date sound and lighting system for the acts

listing debts of S6 million. Among the items auctioned oli were fur coats and jewelry. At previous auc- lions Hayes' antique furniture, lim- ousine, gold plated Cadillac and other possessions were sold.

The singer/musician accumu- lated his treasure while recording for Stax where he was launched to stardom and given the tag "Black Moses.'.

WHO IS TI She's got one of the most

powerful singles of the year.. that's obvious from the first listen.

But who is Janie Fricke?

Where does a fully developed

talent like this come from? Up until recently, Janie

Fricke was known in Nashville

circles as "the hest." She's sung

on countless commercials and hit

records recorded in Nashville.

Then, about a year ago,

she began making records with Johnny Duncan; at first anonymously, later with label

credit.

She went on to record a

single all ky herself ( "What're You Doing Tonight ? ").

And that brings us up to

date.

The new Janie Fricke

single "Baby It's You'' is from her stunning forthcoming album,

"Singer of Songs."

It's clear to everyone who

hears "Baby It You" that

Jamie Fricke is a super talent with

a giant hit on her hands.

"BABY IT'S IOU "....

THE JANIE FRICKE SINGLE, PRODUCED BY BILLY SHERRILL. ON COLUMBIA RECORDS.

from advancing new display designs. And. it is claimed, the relent rapid

expansion of the classical cassette audience makes the incompatabd'ty problem all the more acute.

The same problems attach to the burgeoning prerecorded tape market generally. and are being ad- dressed in a senes of NARM upe packaging meetings. However. classical product, with its opera librettos and frequent need for more than one cassette in a package. demands special consideration, according to the marketing executives.

With the rise of classical sales a

special section of NARM should he devoted to classical merchandising." observes Losk, a Phonogram vice president.

Losk says Philips' "Prestige Box." capable of holding up to six cassettes, was designed to make cassette releases more "merchandisible and collectible." It measures approximately 9' inches high by 41/2 inches wide. with thickness depending on the number of casettes introduced.

We do know retailers tell us that when the prestige boxes are set out on display, sales increase dramati- olly," says Losk.

There is no question that stand- ardizing the package would enhance the saleability of all our deluxe releases. he states.

Montano of Angel says his con- versations with retailers have re- vealed that they are "very unhappy" about the multiplicity of shapes of deluxe cassette offerings.

"The fixture manufacturers also are unhappy;' Montano reports.

"A litt il dealers have I2 -inch display racks clearly marked cassettes," explains Montan.

The Angel esecutive says his con puny is willing to adapt its packaging to meet a uniform standard. if two entena are met by the new design.

Montano and other marketing experts arc agreed that librettos and other program material must he en- closable in any package design. At the same time, argues Montano, the enclosure must not be made so small as to present reading difficulties --as

some cassette librettos are claimed to create.

Odyssey Bares New Series Of 50 Cassettes

l All . \(iti A nets Odssse, sas- selle scree, is being introduced this month, with 50 titles drawn from the CBS budget classical label

The Dolbyized cassettes will carry a suggested list price of 54.38 and are being unveiled with a special discount program. as well as adscrus- ing materials and in -store streamers

According to a CBS .spokesman, the initial titles represent the "cream of the Odyssey catalog." including performances by Jean- Pierre Rampal, the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy and George Sidi conducting the Cleveland Or- chestra.

"Wed certainly be sidling to listen to other people and reach a con -

According to Harper. London's classical cassette sales were up approximately 205 in 1977_

Harper favors development of a

unique cassette lintunng approach. believing that deluxe packages -disk and cassette are merchandised most effectively away from the bin displai.

"Hosed sets in better stores are not tiled in record bins." he claims.

Storage of the product in the consumer's home is also an issue to be considered. Harper reminds. pointing out that cassette packages can be used to save space.

"The idea of a uniform design is a

good one." Harper explains "But in the mean time all these companies have fonunes invested in their package~ "

NEW YORK -A recent sertes ul technical papers on power amplifiers and loudspeaker systems point out that developments at the output end of the signal path arc keeping pace with the atptdf) changing technology found else, here In the mawsling chain

A se.eninch rack mount main frame will accommodate up to eight modules

The model 2275 power amplifier modules may be "stacked" in parallel to deliver more power as required. and the ALTEC's engineering note reviews several typical installations. In a versatile bi -amp sound reinforcement system two 16-

ohm woofer .wired and parallel. are powered by a parallel pair of 2275 modules.

Three separate high -frequency dmcr, are used for near- tmddle- and- far -throw coverage. Each rs

powered by its own 2275 module. A model 2251 bi -amp card contains separate level controls and driver amplifiers for the woofer system and one of the high frequency dm ers

To provide individual level adjustments for the other two high -frequency drivers a model 22511 driver card is used. An appropriate input card is selected to pros ide balanced or unbalanced input..

Other design examples include a

four channel recording studio moni- tot system using eight power amp modules plus four channel input and driver cards.

"We lacked a definition," continues the spokesman, and today a ra- dui station must define itself in musical terms." Estereotempo, incidentally. only dedicates free minutes out of each hour for commercials.

A third slauon to put on a new sound ill recent months is WUNO, better Ismail as Radio Uno.

Haciendo Punto en Otro Son. Moliendo Vidrio and others.

A station spokesman says that the changeover was carefully considered and dial a study was earned out beforehand to sec If Radio Uno could keep its regular hslenership without salsa. It found that tl could.

The station's eurront programming features a fop 30 format with records chosen on the basis of petitions and retail sale, The spokesman notes that no English selections are played but that in the case of established American hits the station's

Closeup COVE SC'RIVENOR - Shad)

Gore. Flying Fish FF'048. Produced by Maw Melford, Ernie Winfrey, Gore Scrivenor.

Without the help of recorded material, save a seven -year old but barely published album on the now defunct TRX label Scrivenor has succeeded in gathering an apprecia- tive following via his energetic solo performances at clubs, concert halls and collegroin across the country.

He effectively paces the LP by blending traditional folksy blues with four of his own compositions and adding a few favorites by writers such as Brownie McGee and Sonny Terry. Eric Von Schmidt and Mance Lipscomb.

Doc Watson's fluid guitar style and harmoninng vocals are an especially complementary counterpart to

Saivenoisinnovative acoustic and slide guitar work and expressive vo-

al quality throughout the LP. Forming the nucleus instrumental

support on the album arc Michael Coleman on bass and adding harmony vocals along with Watson on -Sugar Babe," Buddy Emmons on steel guitar with a dobro part on "Sugar Bale," David Briggs on piano. John Hartford on banjo and fiddle, Kenny Malone on drums and Mark Moms on percussion. Round- ing out the sound are Danny Flow- ers, harmonica; Durwood Edwards, banjo; Bill Puett, recorders and clarinet: Milne Melford on mandolin and Randy Hillman on bass in "Co- caine."

His self- penned "Good Time Lady" opens the album with its re-

- freshing melody fitting the song's positive lyrical reflections.

Scrivcaors bright acoustic guitar work. soon coupled with Watson's. sets the light- hearted flow that's con-

- current with Hartford's rippling banjo licks and Emmons' proof that steel guitar doesn't always sound country.

Ohio Sales Continued from page 4

Most retailers arc against selling records at cost to pay bills. "Sales rally do not sell the marginal product, only the hot product which we have to order again," Chisholm says. Schliewen is more adamant about this. it plagues retailers, but what are you going to dog You get people to your door by selling cheaper and then you dont make any money."

"It evened Itself out," Schliewen -says, "the product didn't get out

(from Indiana but then neither did the customers."

Disc's Lynn Chisholm is optimis- tic about February, which was a

--stronger month last year than either April or May for him. He does not plan on changing his winter promotion habits, but he will be "a little more guarded when making next year'sJanuary and February projections "

His store in Rochester, N.Y., had to dose again Monday (7) and Tues- day (8) because a second blizzard bit the East Coast, but for the most pan missed Ohio. In another store located in a mall in Chicago, an employe had to sneak into the store to take an inventory after the mall had been locked because of a possible roof collapse.

. In spite of these calamities. business was good for Disc in January. Chisholm thinks this is so because many kids, especially college students, were home for much of the month and because of the general "liquidity of young people's budgets" after Chnstlsaa

"Sugar Babe" follows, continuing the good -time mood with a funky sing -song tempo, catchy rhetorical harmonics to the chorus blues performed by Watson, Coleman and Scnvcnor, and candid lyrical con -

tarot. The pace quickens with the lively

instrumental "Pigeon River Break- down." a tune he wrote about a nver on the West Coast of North Caro- lina. It's a shining example of Scrive- nor s exceptional acoustic guitar expertise with rapid progressions vividly interpreting the feel and intensity of a fast flowing nver.

Grove Scrivener

He aptly conveys the strung -out blues with his treatment. of "Co- caine' which shifts the tempo to low and blucsy. Scriveno s vocals ring sincere, combined with his laidback convincing guitar licks. Hillman's soulful bass and Puelt's tasty clarinet interludes.

"If Your Man Gets Busted" is another traditional blues cut that lends itself to Scnvenors interpretive slide guitar abilities. Sassy harmonia

enhance his blue -eyed blues vocal delivery and Watson's guitar breaks are again an added attraction.

Set two opens with a lively offering of " Walkin My Blues Away" which Scrivenor renders with vital- ity. Coleman's hot bass runs throughout the cut maintain the excitement with slide, steel and fiddle breaks lacing the verses.

The mood shifts to a slower pace again with "My Love Come Rollin' Down" The flowing feel rolls with gentle guitar tiffs. smooth slide and accentuating piano complementing another vocal highlight of this LP.

"Minuet For The Backroads," the second self- penned instrumental. is a classically- flavored treat. Scrive- nor and Watson blend beautifully on this acoustic guitar highlight en- hanced with Puett on recorders. As the recorder takes the break. Wat- son's guitar steps in to carry the bass line, creating a pleasant effect

Watson talks up a storm in reply to the salty lyrics Scrivenor delivers in "Black Cat Bone." a fun traditional blues rendering that brings the tempo back up to a toe- tapping pace. En nsons slides in some effective steel guitar work and Briggs in- serts timely infectious repetitive piano runs between lines.

"Goin' To The Country." written by Scrivenor, lakes the beat up to foot -stomping in this heartily offered last vocal cut. His well -defined, crisp. clear. and expressive vocals carry through to the end. Scrivenors acoustic and slide guitar work is joined by Watson's flat - pickin', Melford on mandolin and Edwards on banjo.

The LP winds up with an instrumental that Scrivenor performs on another of his favorite instruments. the autoharp. Combining "Jesu Joy Of Mans Desiring" with a little of Beethoven's Ninth brings a classic finish to a well performed set. -.. PAT NELSON

Car Crash Kills Label's Counsel

CHICAGO -A freak automobile accident here claimed the life of Leonard Levin, long- standing corporation counsel for Mercury Rec- ords.

Levin's body was discovered in the Chicago River. early Sunday (12) after his car had crashed through a guard rail. The exact time of the accident was not determined. but police speculate it might have been caused by a medical emer- gency. Levin had a history of high blood pressure.

The attorney. 68, had been counsel for Mercury Records since he helped draw up the label's incorpo- ration papers in February 1947.

Levin, a 1934 graduate of the Univ. of Illinois law school, was a senior partner in the law firm of Le- vin and Berger. which also represents General Employment Enter- prises, an American Stock Exchange -listed company.

Services were held here Tuesday (14). Levin is survived by a wife, Jane, two married daughters, a sister and three grandchildren.

and which bowies the giant CBS plant in Terre Haute, the RCA plant

¢ in Indianapolis and the PRC m Recording Co. in Richmond as well o. as the Modern Album jacket oper-

ation in Terre Haute. As of Monday (201, businesses in

Terre Haute have been ordered by the Indiana Public Service Commis- sion to cul their power consumption by 25 %. This follows the governor's order mandating the 25% cut when a local utility is down to a 40-day reserve of goal. When the reserve will go down to 30 days, the cut will he 50 %.

Ken Loamy, CBS plant manager at Terre Haute. says for the last two weeks the plant has voluntarily cut power consumption by 15 %. without curtailing the front line pressing op-

canon. He expects to be able to comply with the further 10% cuts ordered without any serious disrup- tions.

He says the power cuts have forced htm to shut down 75% of the lights, lure down the heat and hot water and other facilities not essential to the pressing operation.

The RCA plant was operating at 90% capacity with three shifts as the weekend approached. But it was curtailing its non- essential energy use. Indianapolis has greater coal re- serves, and cuts are not yet manda- tory.

RCA says it is also doing everything in its power to avoid layoffs.

The PRC plant in Richmond is running normally, though a spokes- person says that on Monday 1201 the company will assess what cutbacks will be necessary.

GCC placated the opposition by agreeing to pay $60.000 for the citizens' group's lawyer feos; agreed to

subsidize classical music station WBEZ -FM at nearly 540.000 a year for as long as the GCC Corp. operates the other Chicago station, WEFM -FM.

Also. GCC provided the noncom- mercial WLBZ -FM a $12.500 backup transmitter to permit the sta- llon to broadcast 24 hours a day. To WNIB -FM. GCC gave a literary of classical music disks and tapes.

Further, as the FCC points out. GC(' "Waal ile' undertake to tell WFI M /l'M listencls through broadcast announcemcnis and mal;az,nc iii icruscmient.:,hout the terms of the settlement and where they could hear classnll music on Chicago area stations

Also, (.1 C also agreed to provide free promotion and publicrly lur classical music events and organizations in the area.

In January. Chicago's president of the Fine Arts Music Foundation, Lee A. Freeman, asked the FCC to

make GCC donate the 560,000 not lo citizens group lawyers but to or- ganizalions sponsoring classical music. The FCC turned him down.
