Copyright RevisionBill Gains GroundWASHINGTON, D.C. - The

plans for revision of the Copy-right Bill of 1909 which havebeen hanging around Washing-ton lo these many years, gaineda certain amount of ground lastweek when a House Judiciarysubcommittee approved the newbill.

Although House passage ispossible this year, it is unlikelythat the Senate will get aroundto it in the remaining weeks ofthe session.

The bill would provide exten-sion of the copyright protectionfor life plus 50 years to thecopyright holder from the pres-ent 56 year limit.

It would also require, for thefirst time, royalty payments byjukebox operators.

Details of the bill will not beavailable until a report of thesubcommittee is prepared forthe full Judiciary Committeenext week.

CBS Predicts 1st Billion $Year for Disk Biz in '70s

The record industry can beexpected to have its first bil-lion -dollar year in the early1970s, according to CBS/Colum-bia Group market research.Record industry sales to con-sumers in 1965 were $650,000,-000 at suggested list pricevalue. According to the Group'sresearch, sales are estimated at$675,000,000 for 1966 and mayreasonably be expected to reach$1,000,000,000 in the early1970's.

Record industry sales haveincreased annually during thepast 10 years. 1966 sales vol-ume will be double that of 1956and three times that of 1946.The record industry's growth of100% in 10 years vastly ex-ceeds U.S. population growth inthe same period of only 17%,per capita income growth of46%, and retail sales growth of61%.

In 1955, United States recordmanufacturers issued a total of6,157 new recordings, of which4,542 were single records and1,615 LP. In 1965, the total was10,662: 7,116 singles and 3,546albums.

Ten years ago, record manu-facturers spent approximately$1,000,000 on magazine adver-tising to consumers. In 1965,the industry spent almost $15,-000,000 in consumer magazinesand also considerable sums inradio, television, newspapersand unmeasured media. In ad-dition, the record industrybought 2,869 advertising pagesin its trade publications during1965.

Expanding Foreign MarketsIn recent years, many nations

have seen their record marketsexpand at a rate equal to thatin the United States and, insome cases, even greater.

Total annual phonograph rec-ord sales in the seven largestrecord markets outside theUnited States (during the lastyear for which figures areavailable, in each case) areUnited Kingdom, $120,000,000;Japan, $100,000,000; West Ger-many, $95,000,000; Canada,$50,000,000; France, $50,000,-000; Australia, $22,000,000;Mexico, $20,000,000. CBS Inter-

national, which now marketsCBS Records in almost 100countries, has wholly ownedsubsidiaries in six of thesecountries and an affiliate in theseventh.

Instruments Annual VolumeMusical instruments sales

have exhibited growth trendssimilar to those of the recordindustry over the past tenyears. More than 3,000,000 newmusical instruments were soldlast year. Among factors re-sponsible for the increase areexpansion of school music pro-grams and new adult interest inmusic -making at home as an im-portant part of family enter-tainment.

The retail value of total mu-sical instrument industry salesduring the 10 -year period 1955-1965 has increased from ap-proximately $400,000,000 to al-most $900,000,000. It has beenestimated that from 1955 to1965 the number of guitar play-ers in the United States has in-creased from 2,600,000 to 9,000,-000; organ players, from 800,-000 to 4,000,000. Retail sales ofguitars (and amplifiers for elec-tric guitars) have increased invalue from $24,000,000 in 1958,the first year for which figuresare available, to $185,000,000 in1965.

PTA Spelled Almost Backwards is APTBy DAVE FINKLE

NEW YORK-Just two yearsago Frank Barsalona and DickFriedberg took a small officein the City out of which theyplanned to book Freddie Can-non, Timi Yuro and Gary U. S.Bonds. They christened them-selves Premier Talent Asso-ciates, Inc.

Today the twosome, head-ing a company of 25 em-ployees in a two - floor, deeppile carpeted, gilted office,are the booking agents for-are you ready? and wouldyou believe? - Herman's Her-mits, the Animals, Freddie andthe Dreamers, the Mindbenders,the Hollies, Wayne Fontana,Dave Berry, the Fortunes, Spen-cer Davis Group, the Yardbirds,St. Louis Union, Georgie Fame,Beau Brummels, Mitch Ryderand the Detroit Wheels, theKnickerbockers, Jack Eely andthe Courtmen, Joey Dee and theStarlighters, the Mojo Men, theTikis, Goldie and the Ginger -breads, the Gentrys, SwingingMedallions, Jerry Lee Lewis,the Vagrants, the Humans, theHeard, the Mouse and theTraps, the Teddy Boys, Terryand the Pack, ? and the Mys-terians, the Left Banke, theChartbusters, Bobby Comstockand the Counts, Our Generation,the New Era, Gary U. S. Bonds,Freddy Cannon, Glen Campbell,Neil Diamond, Norma Tanega,Jimmy Clanton, Tommy Roe,Little Eva, Lyme and Cybell,Penny Carter, Eddie Rambeau,Sgt. Barry Sadler, the Shangri-Las, the Shirelles, the Royal-ettes, Ruby and the Romantics,the Chiffons, the Del Satins andmore.

Understood Young Acts'Potential

Not bad for two years work.Barsalona explains it this way:"There seemed to be a need on

And Barsalona & Friedberg ProveJust That at Booking Wax Talent

the market for an agency thatunderstood the potential ofyoung acts. The older agenciesdidn't seem to be doing muchin the area. And, of course, thepossibilities really only openedup when the Beatles first hap-pened."

The Barsalona - Friedberghunch obviously paid off andthe team expects to continue tomake it pay off by staying inthe teen market because "that'swhere we do our best job."

The long line-up of acts theagency is prepared to offermight suggest that the officepolicy is to pact anybody whohappens in. Such is emphatical-ly not the case, Barsalonahastened to explain.

"At first, we did get into arut that is likely to happen toany agency. We would sign upacts because they had a numberone record and seemed to besaleable. But we learned thatnumber one records don't auto-matically mean a full house. Anact has to be a good act. Theyhave to be entertaining. Thismeans that we can frequentlyget more consistent bookingsfor an act who may not havea big record but are goodvisual performers. Mitch Ryderand the Detroit Wheels are agood example. They haven't hada big record in a while, but wecan have them working everynight of the year because pro-moters know they bring in acrowd." (He added that numberone records do open new doorsand help raise prices.)

With that he pulled out aletter from a young girl whowanted to have Mitch Ryder ather junior prom later this year,not, as the text of the lettermade clear, because she wascrazy about one particular rec-

ord, but because she had seenthe group perform locally andhad liked what she saw.

Cautious, Choosy

Insistence on a strong sightact is only one of the impressivePTA policies. There are a coupleof others that, logic will sug-gest, have led to the currentagency success. One is thatBarsalona and Friedberg arevery choosy, very cautious aboutjust where they book an act.The fellows do a lot of work inTV, radio and the movies, forinstance, but that doesn't meanthat they immediately book alltheir acts on the Ed Sullivanshow. "I have to make sure anact is ready for a certain book-ing," Barsalona notes. "I usedto handle an act who wantedto go on the Ed Sullivan showwhen they weren't ready. I said,'I'd give you your release be-fore I'd put you on the Sullivanshow'! So they asked for theirrelease, went on Sullivan's andcouldn't get a booking for threemonths. No, being on TV doesn'tmean success. For every actthat was made by a TV appear-ance, I can name nine who werenearly ruined."

Putting an act in the rightplace at the right time meansthat PTA decides to send agroup, like the Animals whohadn't been having notablestateside tour success, on thecollege circuit and suddenlygive a group new life. The B -Fteam is proud of that Animalnotion and point to the rise in

Dick FriedbergHeads PTA with Barsalona

Animal record sales as a directresult of finding the new mar-ket.

They also said that when theymake a decision like that onethey work closely with a recordcompany to get the most out ofevery move. In fact, Barsalonasaid, PTA tries to work asclosely with record companiesas possible so that they canbook Herman's Hermits for aSullivan shot to sing a new re-lease the same week that MGMissues the cut.

Another PTA rule is not toask for too much money. Bar-salona said, "An act is worthonly so much money and youcan ruin an act by asking morethan that amount. There's noth-ing worse than giving a pro-moter a bum steer on thataccount. You hurt him and youhurt yourself."

New FieldsNow that the Barsalona-

Friedberg approach has done sowell, a natural question is what

new fields? Both men are re-ticent about their next steps."It's unwise to spread yourselftoo thin. We want to be sureof what we're doing before wejump in," Friedberg said.

But, reluctant as the two-some was to detail plans, theydid say they plan to go intopackaging and Friedberg wentso far as to say, with a grin,"We would like to expand to thepoint where we can be sued forviolation of the anti-trust act."

The only specific packageeither wanted to mention wasa projected TV musicalizationof "Peck's Bad Boy" with Her-man as the incorrigible turn -of -the -century prankster andthe rest of the Hermits aspartners in small crime. Fel-lows are in negotiation withtwo major TV producers rightnow about the kaboodle.

Other agency plans are towork into the country westernarea and also into anotherflourishing area - lounge acts.Also offices in Los Angeles andChicago are in the thinkingstages.

All in all, as they used to sayin junior high school, PTAspelled almost backwards isAPT.

WHERE IT'S AT

'Whispers' Makes NoiseFor Brunswick and Jackie

The big breakout news this week is that Jackie Wilson cuta great song and finally is in there with a hit record called,"Whispers." This is a nice way for Joe Medlin to take over theBrunswick label and all R&B product for Decca-Coral. Thefamous breakout team of C & C, Chicago and Cleveland, isleading the way for Jackie Wilson.

One of the grooviest Chess records in a while is "Peak ofLove," Bobby McClure. Curtis Troupe, drive time at WJMO,Cleveland, points out that the "B"` side, "You Got Me Baby,"is also very strong. WVON should be able to Top and Bottomthis McClure. Curtis Troupe rightly feels that Kent hasone of the best blues of the year in "S. K. Blues," KingSolomon. Love that line about the "fine mellow body." WJMOhas busted a smash for Randy Wood and Mira called, "JustTrying To Please You," Jimmy Thomas, and they are all outon the Knight Brothers on Chess. We learn in Cleveland thatJohn Coleman has left Motown and is looking for a gig. Also,Richard Parker in L.A. has left Kent, and he is looking forwork in promotion and or record producing. What a year!

Good news out of L.A. Tom Reed, formerly of WJLB, De-troit, has connected with KGFJ, L.A., on the 9 a.m. to noonshift . . . Frankie "Mr. Lucky" Halfacre and Wil Rudd (form-erly of WJMO) have opened up the first new soul market ina long while at WNIO which covers Youngstown, Niles, NewCastle, Warren, Sharon (that is, everything between Clevelandand Pittsburgh). Frankie is PD and goes 1 to 5 and Rudd goes5 to 7:30 p.m. They need service and promo spots from deejaysand national ads.

The hot cut in the Sam and Dave LP is, "Don't Make It SoHard On Me Baby," which is saying something . . . "No UseCrying" is red hot in Philadelphia off the Ray Charles "CryingTime" LP. And: Hot in Philadelphia in the "Get Ready" LPby the Temptations is the one cut that features both theTemptations and the Supremes, "Not Now, I'll Tell You Later."It is even being played on WIBG pop in Philadelphia.

"Bring It On Home To Daddy," Fred Parris, Atlantic,busted wide open in N.Y.C. off Jack Walker, WLIB, and it isnow getting fantastic play on WMCA and is now a smash. Itbroke in Pittsburgh. The very first place to break it was NewEngland. Fred is now booked at the Apollo for Sept. 28th withSam & Dave and Feb. 2 (for Rocky Groce and Frankie Crockerof WWRL, N.Y.). The record is spreading everywhere . . .

Henry ,Allen, new national promo director of Atlantic, reportsthat the new Joe Tex, "I've Got To Do a Little Bit Better," is

R & B Beat (Continued from page 26)

an immediate smash in New York. Henry is very thrilled withthe reception all over to "The Poorer the Man," Johnny New -bag, Atlantic. That title, "The Poorer the Man-the RicherHis Love," is a grabber . . . Eddie Floyd is a giant, and CarlaThomas has gone all the way. It looks as if Carla's "B -A -B -Y"will be a bigger pop hit than "Gee Whiz" was years ago. Itmade WLS, Chicago, WIBG, Philadelphia, KFWB, L.A.,WMCA, WQXI, Atlanta.

Larry Uttal and Amy Records are red hot! The first city togive him a gigantic breakout on "Pouring Water on a Drown-ing Man," James Carr, Goldwax, is Charlotte, which moved8,000 in less than a week. Then the biggest new smash inChicago is "I'm Your Puppet," James & Bobby Purify, Bell,where it is well over 22,000, and so big that Lucky Cordellgave it a WVON Top & Bottom to expose the great "B" side,"So Many Reasons." Then Bob Jones of WIGO, Atlanta, calledto relate that the biggest new smash in Atlanta is "I'll Make ItEasy," Incredibles, Audio Arts. Dr. Fat Daddy feels that thenew Mitch Ryder, "Devil With A Blue Dress," will be a giantin Baltimore R&B and pop.

The big switch is to the "You're So Fine" side of the WilsonPickett. This should be a big request item as Wilson doesa far better job than he did on the hit version by the Falconsin 1959 when he sang lead .. . Because of the big Top 10 salesin Chicago on "Let's Start Over," Ring Leaders, Impac, GeorgeLeaner is servicing it everywhere.

The big WDAS promotion is Marvin Gaye vs. Ray Charles. .. Steve Byrd of WDAS reports smashing reaction to a bandin the "Otis Blue" LP, "My Girl," which went to #5 in Eng-land. Otis is in England now and is killing them . . . There isno doubt that the new Barbara Mason on "Poor Girl InTrouble" will be as gigantic as her "Yes I'm Ready." It's reallysaying something.

Bob Jones, WIGO, Atlanta, confirms Cleveland and Chicagoon "Whispers," Jackie Wilson. Jackie was in town, and teenrequests have exploded. Hot: Dynatones; J. J. Jackson; "With-out a Love," Jackie Daye, Modern (Shelly "the Playboy"Stewart broke it on WAOK) ; Otis Redding; Sam & Dave.

Big Play: Young Rascals; Lorraine Ellison; Bobby McClure(immediate reaction) ; Dionne Warwick; Albert King; JoeTex; Van Dykes; J&B Purify (looking good) ; Bobby Marchanand Big Sales on Bobby Bland . . . Smash: Incredibles (un-believable sales). The stores in Atlanta are sold out of "I'llMake It Easy" on Audio Arts. The biggest gospel record inAtlanta is, "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah," Art Reynolds Singers,Capitol. Bob Jones said it is a surefire gospel hit. The flip,"I Won't Be Back," is also very strong. New: Shirley Vaughn;Homer Banks; Jimmy Norman; Lorraine Ellison; Rascals.

ATTENTION RADIO PROGRAMMERS AND MUSIC DI-RECTORS: Jimmy Bishop of WDAS, Philadelphia has indi-cated he is interested in trying the playing of R&B recordswith a frequency control system; that is, making the hottestbreaking new hits come up more often, and other refinements.This system has received wide attention in pop radio throughBill Gavin, and was brought into R&B radio very successfullyin the Sonderling Chain, first at WWRL, N.Y., and then withRudy Runnells at WOL, Washington Fat Daddy has alwaysfollowed the principles of scientific radio programming inBaltimore. Certain kinds of records get more play, dependingon the time of the day. Joyce Munroe used this system withFrank Ward in the Rounsaville Chain.

More Personnel Changes: Tommy Small has left WLIB, NewYork. Eddie O'Jay, formerly of WWRL and WUFO, replacedhim. In order that Eddie might continue his talent agencyposition, he moved into Walker's morning drive slot, and Jackis now doing the 2 to 5 p.m. slot.

Ken Hawkins, WJMO, Cleveland, agrees with Fat Daddythat "Devil With a Blue Dress," Mitch Ryder has to be asmash. WJMO Pick: "That'll Get It," Knight Brothers . . .

New: T -Bone Walker; Joe Melvin; Homer Banks; WillieCharles; Jr. Parker. The Joe Tex blew Ken's mind!

New at WCHB, Detroit: Joe Tex; Bobby McClure; FredParris; Dionne Warwick; T -Bone Walker; Joe Melvin; "Mem-phis," Chuck Day, Cameo . . . Hits: Lorraine Ellison; CarlaThomas; Eddie Floyd.


Sonny, CherBack in US

Sonny & Cher returned to theUSA last week after a three-week promo tour of Europe.During the tour Sonny &Cher visited all the major Euro-pean cities including London,Paris, Copenhagen, Stockholm,Rome, Milan, Amsterdam, Oslo,Helsinki, Hamburg and Han-over. It is estimated that duringthe tour Sonny & Cher wereseen by 260 million people inEurope via TV appearances inthese cities.

They held press conferencesin every city, gave magazine in-terviews and appeared on topTV shows, including "Top ofthe Pops" and "Ready, Steady,Go" in England, Studio "B" inHanover, "Drop -In Club Show"in Sweden, "The German TVShow" in Hamburg and manyothers. They played only twoconcerts while in Europe andin each case donated the pro-ceeds to charity. These con-certs were at the Astoria inFinsbury Park, London, Aug.28, and the Olympia in Paris,September 12. Proceeds wentto the Braille Institute forBlind Children, their favoritecharity.

According to both Sonny &Cher, "The trip was the mostexciting and wonderful experi-ence we have ever had. It wasa thrill to greet so many of ourfans and to find they were asknowledgeable about all of ourrecords as our fans in the U.S."

One of the most moving ex-periences Sonny & Cher hadduring the tour was the audi-ence with Pope Paul VI, some-thing they had been lookingforward to for a long time. Onthat occasion they doffed theirindividually -styled garb anddressed in conservative fashion.(Suit & tie for Sonny, dress forCher.)

Sonny & Cher spent the earlypart of the week in New Yorkdoing interviews and formulat-ing their forthcoming Atcoalbum to be released this fall.

coos LET'S TALK SPANISH(Spanish Records, That Is)

(This column appears first in Spanish and then in English.)

Nos sentimos muy orgullosos de haber presenciado la Con-vencion Bi-Anual de la Narm (National Association of RecordsManufacturers), que se celebro en Chicago a principios de estemes, y de haber presenciado la buena organization de la misma,especialmente en las entrevistas de persona a persona, donde cadafabricante esperaba el periodo de entrevistas cada quince minutoscon los diferentes compradores que le asignaban.

Esto constituia un trabajo continuo, ya que las entrevistascomenzaban inmediatamente despues del desayuno, a las nuevede la matiana, permitiendo exactamente una hora para almorzary continuaban hasta altas horas de la tarde, permitiendo asientrevistarse con todos los compradores que se registraron conlos organizadores de la Convencion.

El mercado latino-americano, o sea el mercado de nuestrosproductos latinoamericanos cuenta ya con un gran numero declientele recien adquirida, que conoce que nuestros productostienen un gran potencial de yentas en sus territorios, precisamentedonde la poblacion de latino-americanos no solamente constituyeun gran factor de compras, sino que al mismo tiempo irradia lapopularidad de nuestra musics, creando mercado entre los propiosnorteamericanos, es facil por lo tanto, encontrar compradoresen mercados como el de Nueva York, Chicago, Florida, Filadelfia,Los Angeles, Texas y demas lugares donde nuestra colonia esgrande, pero en la CONVENCION pudimos converser con distrib-uidores de otros lares, donde tratamos de convencerles del futurode nuestra musica en esos lugares, ya que la colonia latino-americana en los Estados Unidos crece a dizrio, presentando unpotencial de compradores haste en los lugares mes apartados.

Es dificil introducir por ejemplo, las grabaciones de musicatipo tropical, que es como se conocen las grabadas por artistasdel Este de los Estados Unidos y de Puerto Rico, en los Estadosque hacen frontera con Mexico, ya que alli la mayoria de lapoblaciOn es oriunda de Mexico, sin embargo, cada dia se abremes ese mercado, como sucedio en Nueva York afios atras, cuandose introdujeron en los teatros latinos las peliculas filmadas porcantantes mejicanos, y mes tarde sus grabaciones.

Lo que si podemos asegurar, es que con suficiente interes, y lacontinua promoci6n de nuestros productos, Ilegaremos en brevetiempo a constituir un mayor mercado de nuestros productos,para el beneficio de las companies productoras asi como tambienmayor mercado para nuestros artistas.

The GorisStory

It all started in Cuba in 1950,

when Jesus Goris opened astore of his own at San Rafael557, Habana, after long experi-ence in the record field.

His first steps were at "LaEstrella" in Galiano and SanRafael St. where he workedwith his father, owner of thebusiness. After achieving agreat success in the retail busi-ness, Jesus Goris conceived theidea of recording some of thepromising Cuban talents of thattime. In 1951 he formed thePuchito Recording Co., alongwith two partners, Messrs.Beltran and Oliva. His first re-cording was "Copas and Ami-gos" by Joseito Fernandez andorchestra Hermanos Castro;

JazzTaking Care of Business

By DEL SHIELDS

There are a few talented jazzproducers in the businesswhom the disk jockeys acrossthe nation might take a mo-ment out and tip their hats tofor a job very, very well done.

Over the next few weeks,"TCB" will tip its hat to them.One is Bob Thiele, A & R Di-rector at Impulse, the jazz armof ABC -Paramount Records.

It doesn't take long to findreasons for the success of theImpulse line when one reviews

the astound-ing record ofBob. It cer-tainly takes aman who be-lieves in hisproduct toform a musi-c a 1 partner-ship of DukeEllington andJohn Col-

trane; bring back JohnnyHartman; create a hit forChico Hamilton who had beendormant; Coltrane acommercial success withoutcompromising the man's art;record the swinging Max Roachwith Voices album, "It's AboutTime"; develop a beautifulpackage for jazz LPs, soonfollowed by most companies;record American jazz musi-cians in Europe that gave theAmerican jazz public anotherhearing of Kenny Clarke, BudPowell, Don Byas and otherexpatriate jazz stars.

The basis for his success atImpulse is believing in theproduct, and you could not askfor any more.

George Hoefer writing of Bobin Jazz magazine some monthsago revealed a very pene-trating analysis of his work:"In making jazz records, theA & R man cannot depend onhit tunes, commercial vogues,or nationwide promoted per-sonalities to sell records. Themusic is the thing and the mar-ket is made up of an eruditecommunity of listeners. Whenediting and preparing his al-bums for release, Thiele hasthis specialized group of audi-tors constantly in mind - infact, he is one of them."

Under Thiele's direction, theImpulse line has developed intoone of the strongest jazz labelsin the country. It has not beeneasy, for any jazz disk jockeyknows that getting a liberal

Del Shields

supply of Impulse albums isalmost similar to asking theIRS to forget about your taxes.

We constantly stress to rec-ord companies that the great-est LP in the world means verylittle if the dj does not haveit to play. Unfortunately, inthe minds of most distributors,LPs become private propertyfor them to distribute to aselect number of jocks, promomen, office help and their ownindividual libraries. As a re-sult, throughout the country,many legitimately working jazzjocks are crying for lack ofservice.

Aware of this some yearsago, we inaugurated the "DelShields Jazz Letter" that wasmailed to over 900 jazz diskjockeys. When we planned theproject, one of the first per-sons we spoke to at length andfrom whom we received atremendous amount of help wasBob. He readily understoodthe problems of the disk jockeysand made available to us a listof his jocks and offered muchguidance.

Part of this willingness tohelp is the result of the graspof the total responsibilities ofan executive and even in thecase of an A & R Director,one's responsibilities do notfinish at the conclusion of theediting session and the finalpackaging.

When one has been success-ful it does become difficult toremember all of the accom-plishments. Until Impulse madeits daring step, full-scale jazzpromotion among the largecompanies was not done. Therewere sporadic attempts overthe years. Most, however, werefor limited periods. And inother cases, the results weredue to the president of the com-pany being a jazz buff. But un-der Thiele's direction, Impulsebrought a style to jazz that hadbeen lacking. There was fresh-ness in the packaging andthere was adventure.

Even the avant-gardists havefound an ally in Bob. It is notfor us to determine their placein the history of jazz. But theydeserved to be heard.

And finally in the overallpicture, Impulse in its presentposition is a leader. It is nota follower, and this is the moresurprising considering t h eyouthfulness of the company.

Club Review:

Mel Everybody's

MusicianNEW YORK-As currently

introduced by Woody Hermanat Basin St. East, Mel Tormeis indeed a "musician's musi-cian"; but it is unfair to solabel this young veteran, forhe is much more than that.

Mel is a versatile pro, a "jazzsinger" who can handle comedyas well or better than anysongster around, spoof Bob"Dial -in," do a Roger Millermedley, a wild "Comin' Home,Baby," a fresh "Hey, Look MeOver," a wryly doobie-dooed"Strangers in the Night" andthe bounciest of "MountainGreenery"ies.

The Columbia Records artistcan also break a listener's heartwith his superb ballad sense,which he is doing with two ofthe most evocative ever,Johnny Mercer's "When theWorld was Young" and VernonDuke's "Autumn in New York."For the latter, Mel takes to thepiano, and accompanied byHerman gives moving but nevergushy tones to the song thatsays it for New York's "can-yons of steel." He adds a lyricabout muggers in the park thatat first seems superfluous andmood -shattering; but that isMel's style. He is hip, sophisti-cated, he's seen plenty; he maywander into reverie and nostal-gia, but his bright and bas-ically blithe spirit always re-trieves him by the 11th hour.He has known heartbreak, buthis resilience saves him, andthe material is none the lessfor this.

In the meantime, the audi-ence hears a consummate artistwho also manages a trip to thedrums and uke(!) and further-more has done practically allthe arrangements for this extra-ordinarily expert, enjoyable nit-ery stand. (When asked after-ward why he didn't do any ofhis own compositions, he said:"I have a thing about that. I'drather hear others do 'em.")

Woody Herman and theSwingin' Herd (also on Colum-bia now) are fine, appropriatecomplements; so is comedianJohn Byner, who does veryfunny take -offs on Tony Ben-nett, the Ozzie and Harriet TVshow as well as a bit in whichthe Lone Ranger's Tonto is aswishy interior decorator ("Thisdamned feather . . . I can't doa thing with it!"). But it'sTorme all the way. Despite tor-rential rains the evening wecaught him, the place was jam-med-and with a lot more thanmusicians. -Doug McClelland.

HAL RUDMAN'S

Money MusicClass Will Tell

"B -A -B -Y," Carla Thomas, Stax, has busted through pop. Thenext artist to break through for Jim Stewart and Steve Cropper(who has become an idol for a lot of people in the business, notto mention Porter and Hayes) will be Eddie Floyd, whose "Knockon Wood" went on KFWB, L.A. and is over 200,000.

The Supremes, 4 Tops and Temptations are all Top 10 popnationally as soul breaks through the pop curtain. A new R&Bartist with a hit said, "I hope those pop station 'burglars' willgive me a break and stop stealing success from my pockets."

Neil Diamond's "Cherry Cherry" has turned into the SuperGiant that his last record never was in the East. Sales are over60,000 in the tough Philadelphia pop market, so you know wherethis record is going . .". alf I Were a Carpenter," Bobby Darin,is a giant and the Sonny and Cher is unbelievable . . . Count 5;Eric Burden & Animals; Dusty Springfield; and Johnny Riversare smashes.

"Ain't Gonna Lie," Keith, Mercury, has busted loose on thecharts as predicted . . . The great new Brian Hyland is, "RunRun Look and See," written by Ray Whitney of Atlanta.

"Love Is a Hurtin' Thing," Lou Rawls, is an R&B smash, and isTop 20 in Detroit, on WIBG and many pop stations. He shouldbecome the next Sam Cooke, and is in fact, managed by J. W. Alex-ander, who managed Sam, and Lou, was a member of the gospelgroup Sam was in, the Soul Stirrers. His new LP "Soulin'," is agiant in sales . . . "Respect," Rationals, is Top 15 in Detroit andis now handled by Cameo . . . "Gloria's Dream," Belfast Gypsies,WB, is Top 20 in Detroit and is breaking the hard way, viz., cityby city by city.

"Devil With a Blue Dress," Mitch Ryder, has to be a smash.It already received three top R&B station picks, so how wild cana pop record get? . . . The new Happenings and the new Sam theSham are great, and are getting all the automatic picks.

Let's face facts, this Barbra Streisand is absolutely the greatest.She takes off where the other gals leave off. I've never heard somuch soul and power and emotion as she generates in "FreeAgain." I'll have to print exactly what we wrote in this columnwhen Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" was released. If you don'tplay "Free Again" every few hours on your Top 40 station, then"shame on you."

We listened to drummer Buddy Rich put down today's pop musicon the Johnny Carson show. I would say that the baroque rockused by the Beatles in "Eleanor Rigby" is as classy as anythingin pop music in any year. They are great!

"Hooray For Hazel," Tommy Roe, is making it big for ABC, andSouth is doing a big job with it ... "Changes," Crispian St. Peters,is coming in well for Jamie . . . The Happenings are happening

Treed

ABC's newest recording group, the Trees, celebrated their signing to thelabel recently with a romp, appropriately, around Central Park trees,joined by Bob Thiele (second from left), label A&R Director, andHoward Stark (second from right), VP of the ABC division. The Trees'first ABC single is set for October release.

once again . . . "Heart," 2 of Clubs, Fraternity, and "Almost Per-suaded #2," Ben Colder, are looking more and more like nationalhits . . . "Coming on Strong," Brenda Lee, is doing just that . . .

"Bang Bang," Joe Cuba, Tico, is a giant in N.Y.C. like the lastone was. This one could go nationally . . . Sol Rabinowitz hasbeen forced to re-release the Jackie Paine, "What Does It Take."When it first came out, we reported that Joe Niagara of WIBG wasvery high on it, but it just didn't break in Philadelphia. Now it'sa smash in Memphis . . . "Rumors," Syndicate of Sound, is a giantin Milwaukee and WMCA went with it, as Bertha Porter broke itin Hartford, and it is very large in Baltimore.

The Goris -Puchito Story(Continued front page 29

and after some time, he record-ed "Mienteme" by Olga Guillot,a smash. He will never forget"Palabras Calladas," "Eso YMas" and "Mienteme." The firstOlga Guillot album released byPuchito became a total success.He also recorded Pototo andFilomeno, Orchestra Sensationand others. When nobody con-sidered orquestra typica prom-ising, he recorded them andhelped establish this trend.

After a few years, he openedImpresora Cubana de Discos,at Autopista del Mediodia, to-gether with Ing. Pedro Suarez.This industry was pressing ahigh percentage of the produc-tion of Cuban labels, whenCastro took power. Goris cameto the United States in 1961,bringing with him some of thetapes he had recorded andwhich made his label popular inCuba.

Started AgainIn this country he had to

start all over again. "Those areunforgettable times . . . inwhich I started in Seven ElevenGroceries as a part-time em-ployee." After three months, hestarted to work with Panameri-can Distributors in Miami, andafter a year, he left that com-pany. In 1962 he. -met GuiseppeStorniolo, an Italian by birth,and decided to be his partnerin a new firm called PuchitoRecords Mfg. Co., Inc. Theystarted at 480 East 28 St., Hia-leah, Fla., with the catalogJesus brought with him fromCuba. After a period of time,some of those recordings wenton a budget line, called Adria,which became very popular.They also started to distribute

Silver Subs

Horace Silver chats with a fanduring his pinch-hitting chores forvacationing Billy Taylor of WLIBRadio. An extended European con-cert tour is in the offing forpianist -composer Silver. On his re-turn he will record his first LPunder the Liberty banner for itsjazz label, Blue Note Records.

Krystal, another budget linethat rendered high profits.

Today Puchito is maintaininga complete catalog under thePuchito label, and their Adriacatalog has been increased insuch a way, that it is consideredone of the most complete of thebudget lines in the market.

Under Puchito label they re-leased recordings by ViolinesMagicos de Cesar Gonzmart,Amparo Ortiz, Paquito Hecha-varria, Alex Ruano and hisMagic Sax (a former member ofLos Chavales de Espana), JulioRivero and His Combo, OrlandoAlvarez and Corina, the Italiansinger Renato Renzi, who singsin five languages.

3 New LPsThey just released three new

albums: Miguel Herrero andCarmela Vasquez with JoseMiguel, which is selling verywell; Alex Ruano's "MagicSax"; and Rene Cabel. A newalbum by Renato Renzi will bereleased in a few days, and theyare planning a new budget line.

Jesus Goris has great supportin his wife, Georgina, who start-ed with him at their store inHavana. Today, Puchito is lo-cated at 152 West 29 St., Hia-leah, Fla.

Let's Talk Spanish(Continued from page 29)

American records market.First, we must say that it was one of the best organized con-

ventions we have ever attended. There was no waste of time,business was conducted from early in the morning to late in theevening, and with the person -to -person interviews one hardlyhad time to move away from the tables to make a telephonecall to office or home.

The Latin-American markets are a very interesting factor. Insome parts of the United States where a great population ofSpanish speaking people reside, not only do they constitute apotential market, but they radiate an interest for their music,thus creating a big purchasing force. Of this type of market, thegreatest are New York, California, Texas, Florida and Chicago;followed by New Jersey, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Connecticutand Detroit.

And of these markets, there is a big split in the type of musicthat sells more than the other. Yes, there is a difference be-tween Latin music, as there is a difference between the countryand western music, and the Rhythm and Blues and the pop musicright here in the different States.

The music favored on the West Coast is that recorded byMexican groups, as in the Texas market. It would be, naturally,since the population of Spanish-speaking people in those areasis originally from Mexico and the Central -American Republics.But that does not mean that they are buying only Mexican pro-duct, for the tropical music-which is how they identify themusic produced on the East Coast and in Puerto Rico-has beengaining in popularity through local radio programs and throughsome distributors that have seen a future in those territories,and have ventured to invest in bringing this type of recordingto these markets.

So it has been in years past, when the East Coast distributorsand local radio stations popularized the Mexican -type recordings,and the movie houses that cater to the Spanish-speaking popula-tions in the East brought Mexican films to the theaters, thus pop-ularizing the Mexican movie singing stars and their recordings.

Monument Obtains Mucho Foreign WaxHOLLYWOOD - Marking a

definite trend in the global think-ing and marketing plans of Mon-ument Records, president FredFoster announced that the Holly-wood -Nashville diskery would is-sue "in excess of 30 longplaysobtained from foreign sources"between now and the end of theyear.

As a result of the foreignmaster -searching by VP and Di-rector of the International Divi-sion Bobby Weiss, close liaisonwas established with manyworld-wide record companies inorder to secure artists andrepertoire suitable, not only forthe U.S.A. market, but in manyinstances, for other territoriesaround the world. Monument, be-

sides the U.S.A., will have cer-tain release rights, includingEngland, the Continent, MiddleEast, Africa, the Far East,Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Album product already set bypresident Foster for release on


Uniques ScoringSHREVEPORT, LA. Paula

Records President Stan Lewishas renewed the Uniques' con-tract with the label, followinggroup's Detroit break-out with"Run and Hide," as confirmedby Music Merchants Distribut-ing Co. Other areas are report-ing action, too, and Lewishas announced plans for theUniques' second LP.

We can see why a distributor in Chicago, for instance, wouldnot be interested in investing a certain amount of capital topopularize any foreign type of music, when the same investmentin popular music can bring him a faster return of his investment,without any extra spendings on promotion, salesmen that canspeak the language and knows what to buy. But we must insiston the fact that where it has been done, it has proven to be veryprofitable, since in this field there are hardly any "returns" andmost of the stores that cater to this public buys "cash." Andmost of all, there is not as much competition.

We heard at the Convention of a lot of new buyers who arewilling to rack Latin-American product from almost every partof the United States, and who foresee a very profitable future inthis field, soon.

It Promises to be the Greatest!

tory was certainly made herelast week-in some ways-whenthe new Metropolitan OperaHouse in Lincoln Center openedSept. 16, 1966, to great fan-farade and alarums with a listof dignitaries headed by LadyBird Johnson in attendance.

The opening attraction wasSamuel Barber's new opera,"Antony and Cleopatra," writ-ten for Leontyne Price.

The best news of the evening,announced between the secondand third acts by Met headRudolf Bing, was that openingnight would not also be closingnight as a union strike hadthreatened to make it. Thestrike, Bing said, had beensettled.

Definitely not the best newsof the evening, as the dailycritics reported, was the opera,directed, scripted (from theShakespeare version) and de-signed by Italian self-pro-claimed "Renaissance man"Franco Zeffirelli.

The scribes agreed prettymuch to a man that the Barberscore was unmelodic, uncon-vincing and dull, although withsome highlights in the last act.And, they declared, Zeffirellihad done little to lighten themoment, choosing instead togive a heavy look to the pro-duction and an unfortunateheavy look to not slim divaPrice.

Critics, however, praised sing-

ers Justin() Diaz as Antony,Jess Thomas as Caesar andEzio Flagello as Enobarbus andespecially Leo as Cleo.

RCA Made OfferRecord industry interest prior

to the opening centered aroundrecording the opening perform -

ance for posterity. RCA madewhat was reportedly an attrac-tive offer but was sabotaged bythe union problems. Ever per-severing, the label then askedfor permission to tape the per-formance, put the tape in es-crow for possible later negotia-tions and a record.

That request was also denied.And now that the reviews are

out, it would seem that record-ings are doubtful.

The new Met building was ap-praised by the architecturecritics as old-fashioned butproperly designed accousticallyand by the art critics as con-taining fine pieces of art, mostnotably some not terribly origi-nal but refreshing murals byMarc Chagall and Roaul Dufy.

Convention to Municipal AuditoriumAs the 41st birthday celebration of the Grand Ole Opry nears,

the tension and excitement is picking up steam! This year's con-vention will have to be a giant, the biggest yet, with many moreinteresting events being planned. What will make this year'sattraction more enjoyable and beneficial, most people think, willbe the fact that the headquarters have been moved from theno -room hotel to the spacious Nashville Municipal Auditorium.All industry personnel we've spoke with are certainly pleasedwith this venture.

NBC-TV crews will be here during the upcoming deejay do-ings to film several "Swingin' Country" daytime flicks. The show'sregular cast of Rusty Draper, Molly Bee and Roy Clark areanticipated also. Mercury's Jerry Wallace subs for Clark acouple of days next week on that show, Oct. 4 and 5.

Darnell Miller, young Challenge artist whohad the '65 hit "The Hinges on The Door,"stopped off to see us while in town last week.Darnell works out of Bland, Va., and has avery bright future.

A giant expansion program is in full swingout at Nuggett's Studios. New offices, and abigger and better sound system is being in-stalled with echo chambers and the works.

Paul Perry "It'll all be completed by convention time,"quipped the label's A & R skipper, Jack Logan.

It looks as if it has finally happened for one of my favoriteentertainers, Bobby Lewis. His new United Artists release, "HowLong Has it Been," is the talk of the trade here and it seemsthat Kelso Hurston, the label's A & R man here, has scored again.Bobby, called the Little Man with the Big Heart from Hodgen-ville, Ky., really brings it out in this one. Little Bobby's com-ment: "I'm a hoping." Kelso's: "With the reports coming in, itlooks like we've got a hit."

News from U. A. also has it that Del Reeves' new single shouldbe out this week. Both sides are from albums. The A side willbe "This Must Be the Bottom" from Del's "Doodle -Do -Do" LP.And the other will be the soul-searching ballad, "Laughter KeepsRunning Down My Cheeks," from Del's latest long play, "Gettin'Any Feed for Your Chickens." Del left last week for appear-ances in New York State, Michigan and Canada.

Decca officials here just released the chatter that they'velanded Claude Gray, the lad who's had many solid selling re-leases on Mercury and Columbia. With "Mean Ole Woman" stillhigh on the charts, Claude's first single on Decca is due any daynow, according to his manager and booking agent, Joe Wright.Decca also unveiled another artist in Moss Rose author -of -hitsHank Mills. Hank, who's penned such things as "Girl on theBillboard" and "The Baby Sitter," is due to session this week.And that new Jack Green single "There Goes My Everything"just disintegrates me.

Dot's offices here report sensational reaction on a cut fromthe Mac Wiseman LP, "Bluegrass," titled "You're the Best of Allthe Leading Brands." About 10 major markets report good talk

on the cut which could become a single.A new deejay school is about to open here known as the Ten-

nessee Institute of Broadcasting, and according to its GeneralManager, Leon Buck, it'll be the first of its kind specializing inall phases of radio with the exception of engineering.

The Flatt and Scruggs unit just signed a new contract withFilmways Music Corp. to continue to provide music for the CBS"Beverly Hillbillies" TVer for this upcoming '66 & '67 season.The pact also provides for the troop to do the cigarette commer-cials.
