INSIDE TOP 40 WITH DAVE SHOLIN

Expect an infusion of new names in the post Labor Day Top Ten as only three records in that grouping are underlined this week. DARYL HALL encounters no resistance on his way up, with a three week Hit Factor trend of 18% to 54% to 73% One word for JANET JACKSON is...unstoppable! Giant moves for Martin Green 106X 24 -10, Bill Freeman WFJA 29 -19, Steve Brill WZOK 30 -19, Paula McCartney KIXS /FM 25 -17, Mike Preston KS103 27 -19 etc.

Notable gains for VAN HALEN put it in the Top Twenty at KHWK, KFMJ, KZLS , KNVR, KTAW, KKYS, WIFC, WQLZ, WPST, 3WD etc. DON JOHNSON debuted in Chartbound two weeks ago and shows no signs of letting up as the majority of programmers I've talked to have total belief this record's strength. Don's second career is looking good...debuting in the Top 30 a B104, KC101, KQCR, KKEZ, WABB, KDVV, KGOR, WBIZ, KLYK etc.

Following a somewhat slow start EURYTHMICS

is racing by older competition, charting 27 -21 at Chicago's B -96, 10 -6 in Atlanta at 94Q, 21 -14 at KIIS/FM in L.A., 29 -19 at KUBE in Seattle etc. Looks like a big winner. There was also a slight slowdown for SIMPLY RED due to the amount of major releases over the past month. But this side continues to prove itself around the country picking up 34 adds in a strong, strong week..new on G105, KYYY, WJLQ, KSTN, KYYA, KINN, KIZZ etc.

Another in the picking up steam category is

THOMPSON TWINS. Moves 20 -14 for Melodi Garrett 98Q, 24 -16 for Stan Barnett WKYA, 18 -12 for Stan Main Y94, 14 -10 for Jim Nelly Ill KXGO etc. There is a big Hit Factor story on LISA LISA now at 44 %! 10 adds and moves of 11 -4 at B -94, 23 -13 WQBZ, 7 -3 WXKS, 28 -19 KC101, 17 -1

194, 13 -7 KMEL. 22 -17 B97. ALL positives where it gets the shot.

ART OF NOISE starting to cause a buzz in

several markets with excellent airplay growth this week..24 -14 K104, 15 -9 WWHB, 26 -19 WPFM, 29 -21 KWES etc. Also a big week for NEW EDITION with 21 new believers including KITS, KACI, WNYZ, WBGN, 92X, KIYS etc.

Our August 8th Record To Watch ANITA BAKER is on the verge of going over 100 reports while holding on to an 11% Hit Factor. New on KWSS, KHIT, FM104, WBCY, WZON, 0105 etc. The Northwest and Central regions are helping to

develop BONNIE RAITT. This rocker written by

Bryan Adams and Jim Valiance moves 23 -20 at KRZQ, 36 -29 KYMO and debuts at #30 at WPYK. New on KGWY, KTMT, KSWB, KQWK, KFBD, and KJLS.

Enjoy the long weekend...we'll be back in the office taking reports on Tuesday (9/2).

OLLY'INOOD y by TONY RICHLAND H

As we embark upon a trip across America, we find ourself reading the section of the paper we always turn to before such a sojourn: the regional weather reports. As is always the case when we travel, the temperatures in the towns we are visiting are 106 and the humidities 94. It

never fails. We always dress for the weather, however, and any of you radio people in Dallas, Atlanta, New York and Chicago who happen to

notice a 6 ft. 5 -inch, 160 -pound nerd wearing Bermuda shorts, a Cheap Trick T -Shirt and L.A.

Clipper hat will know they've actually seen the perpetrator of this weekly stuff...or should we say happened to notice, as by the time both of you read this, we'll be back on the Hollywood beat.

Back in the sixties, indie promo guy Mike Borchetta published a weekly sheet called, THINGS GO BETTA WITH MIKE BORCHETTA (cute ?). It was simply an ode to the records he

was promoting at the time, but Mike told us how amazed he was at the hordes of industryites who begged to be mentioned in the thing. People, it seems, want to see their names in

print, no matter WHAT the print is, and when we commenced this column, some 100 weeks ago, we looked forward to being wined and dined by similar types. For some reason, its been the opposite, and our correspondence has been loaded with notes from radio /record people begging us to leave their names OUT! Our wife, Rosemary, has been upset from Day One about recurring references to her, and other folks have threatened violence and /or legal action should they be mentioned. We therefore say to Kerry Jackson, Shawn Brogan, Pat McCoy, Dan Jessop, Janie Baker, John Roberts, Jackie Bodner, Shelly Green, Fred Miller, Michael Reading, Yankton, South Dakota, Danny Davis and Billy Brill:

Don't worry. You'll never be mentioned here...

We won't comment on this next item, we'll just report it: The L.A. Herald- Examiner recently ran a "Vote For Your Favorite AM Drive Guy" contest. Readers sent in ballots for weeks, with the results being printed in the August 15th issue. Major L.A. radio names like Rick Dees, Charlie Tuna and Paraquat Kelly placed in the Top 10..no surprise..but the

RANDOM NOTES FROM

HOLLYWOOD

VINE

POINTS FAST

winner of the L.A. fave AM award was the morning team of Tim Berends and Al Gross of KBRT! KBRT is a... read my lips..religious station! All jokes about Hollywood being the

home of fruit and nuts aside, what can we learn from this? What we can fantasize is what has

occurred BECAUSE of this, namely that, due to

the fierce loyalty of KBRT's listeners, record companies have been servicing and romancing the winning God Squad. We happen to know that copies of The Lime Spiders, Screaming Blue Messiahs and Sigue Sigue Sputnik have already been delivered to the Station Of The Big Guy!

While dragging out luggage for our road trip, we found a 1979 copy of the L.A. Times in

an old valet. You might be interested to know that the September '79 issue features stories about Bert Lance, Carter's popularity decline, the lengthy L.A. gas lines (Gas Lines ? ?), the rapidly spreading threat of cocaine, the increasingly trendy jogging habit, and the exploits of someone named Mark The Bird" Fidirich. Larry Bird was a month away from playing his first NBA game. So was Magic. The Jeffersons were in the middle of their half -century run, Jack Lord was still saying "Book 'em Danno", and Ron Fell's hair was a darker shade of dark..

This past week some sort of fashion council awarded the L.A. Police department the honor of being the best -dressed P.D. in

the U.S.A. The story was accompanied by a photo of an L.A. Fuzz posing in male model hands -on -hips style in his chic crook -catching Blues. The story DIDN'T note the runner -up cities, and in the interest of public interest we hereby tell you that Oxnard, Orangeburg, Goldsboro and Constantinople also placed in

the Top 10. The awards ceremony was taped and will be shown, via syndication, in your town. Bob Barker was the host, and each contending cop will appear in swimsuit, evening gown and talent competitions. Not to ruin the broadcast for you, but we might inform you that a swat -team guy from Boise (a personal friend of Drew Harold) was named Mr. Congeniality .

Oh..and by the way..(and not to get personal but), how the hell was YOUR week ?

Gwen Guthrie Pays Her Dues (8z The Rent) by Ron Fell & Betty Hollers

Gwen Guthrie doesn't just sing about the rent...she's a songwriter, arranger and producer who has performed with

Quincy Jones, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Valerie

Simpson, Stevie Wonder, Stephanie Mills, Carly Simon, Ray

Charles, Burt Bacharach, Roberta Flack and many more. She

has also done commercial jingles for AT &T, Sprite, Avon,

Dentyne, Panasonic and many others. Her songwriting ability was first evident when she penned the hit single "Supernatural Thing" for Ben E. King and later the same year, "Love Don't

You Go Through No Changes On Me" for Sister Sledge.

When "Padlock," the B -side of one of her singles, was

released as a 12 -inch EP, it became a best- seller and catapulted Gwen into the R &B/Dance/Club spotlight. Due in large part to

the re- mixing talents of New York DJ Larry Levan, "Padlock" went to #1 on the Dance charts and top ten on the R &B album charts. Her latest single, "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent," became an unstoppable club smash before it hit the

streets, and looks like it could be the one to put her on the music map. We interviewed Gwen last week from her home

in New Jersey.

GAVIN: Where did you grow up? GWEN: I grew up in northern New Jersey and lived there 'til I was 12 years old. GAVIN: What were your earliest musical influences? GG: Jazz and Broadway tunes. My father had this book with all the old show tunes, like Cole Porter and Gershwin, and he used to play them a lot around the house. They called them "standards," the great standards of our time I knew them all from childhood. My father had a combo that used to gig on weekends in the bars and small clubs around the area. They'd have jam sessions where my father would play the keyboards and my uncles played trumpet, upright bass and drums. We used to really look forward to it My mother was a pretty good singer...she could carry a tune pretty well GAVIN: We read that your mother was a major influence in getting you involved with church choirs. GG. Yes, my mother was very serious about her commitments to the church. She was the first female head deacon in her church, Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Newark. I was involved in the Young People's Choir, but there was a church not far from

us that was very famous, the New Hope Baptist Church. This was the church that Dionne Warwick and Cissy Houston and Judy Clay and more recently Whitney Houston and myself did our singing. They had this young adult choir and, I mean, they could ALL sing! It was amazing to sit there and hear the voices that these people had With the organ and the piano and the whole way the gospel music came together, it was too much. GAVIN: The one thing that must have been amazing was the extreme competition for solos, with so many great singers in there. GG: It was wonderful! I was maybe 10 years old and 1

would beg my mother to let me go to this church instead of hers. Many Sundays she would let me go. It just made my whole world! At that age, when I

was about nine or ten, I used to listen to "10 -10 WINS," WINS with Murray The K. I went through that whole thing with the Motown thing and then the Beatles. I used to have John Lennon plastered all

over my walls, I loved John Lennon. He was fabulous! Everybody used to be crazy for Paul McCartney, but there was something about John.

Murray The K was fabulous...he played the best music. Then there was a local station here in New

Jersey, WNJR...I used to listen to a lot of Hal

Jackson on that station when I was growing up. I

listened to WABC a lot, with Cousin Brucie and all

those guys. In college, I listened to a lot of jazz...a jazz station. I find myself listening to a lot of classical music on the radio now because I'm in the studio a

lot with this "hip hop" music, pop music or whatever you want to call it - I'm not really into labeling - and

when I come home I want to relax and I don't want a

whole lot of back beats and hand clapping music. As a child, my father taught me how to play the

piano and the first thing that I learned how to play was classical music. GAVIN: Your intention, when you got out of school, was to be a teacher. What kind of teaching were you hoping to pursue? GG. I always loved children and I wanted to teach elementary school, which I did, for exactly one year GAVIN: What was the big break that caused you to think more seriously about a career in music? GG: While I was teaching, I was involved with a band

A/C HIT FACTOR

A/C ANALYSIS

Huey Lewis & The News pick up 40 HEAVY ROTATIONS and now only have Berlin and Billy Ocean to fight off in the weeks to come. Berlin has 82% HEAVY ROTATION and Billy picks up 40

HEAVY ROTATIONS. Expect Genesis to leap as high as number 5 or 6

next week. They show 208 stations in four weeks.

The Moody Blues make the largest move on the

chart (28 to 19) and appear to be centering their newly found success on the radio with A/C's. HIGH ROTATION for the Moodys from: KDUK, KVEC, KSKI, KRVV, KLYQ, KDBL, KTYL, KLTR, KLTO, KMGN, WILS, WJON, KLOU, WSKY, WRFC, WKYX, WEZC, WCHV and WGHQ.

Bob Seger is makin' up for lost time with his new single, Its You. This week the HIT FACTOR leaps from 33% to 61 %. Key calls include: KMAJ, WMT /FM, WMYX, KLTR, KWAV, KKLV, KAT /FM KRNO and B100.

Last week's RECORD TO WATCH, Janet

Jackson's When I Think Of You had twenty adds this week including: J107, WGSV, WKYX, KLSS, WFMJ, WIOU and KOST.

This week's RECORD TO WATCH is Toto's l'll Be Over You. I'll seldom list a record in this corner with over 100 stations in two weeks, but I gotta figure 124 stations aren't playing it 'cause they hadn't yet given it a serious listen.

Tina Turner's new single, Typical Male, is finally being acknowledged by A/C radio, as she picks up 28 adds including: WCHV, WFFX, WRFC, KDES, KTYL and KOB/FM.

R &D

RECOMMENDED FOR A/C RADIO

Human League Human (A &M) Produced and written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, this track may be the year's biggest surprise. Its perfectly vulnerable lyric, warm

harmonies and simple melody create instant gratification for all who hear it. Can't miss!!

Double Woman Of The World (A& Ml The story of a woman who likes to lead when she dances. It's lite jazz with Swiss precision.

Ric Ocasek Emotion In Motion (Geffenl A pretty ballad from the man who drives the Cars. This track advances his upcoming solo album and it, the single, should motivate many A/C listeners.

Chris Thompson What A Woman Needs (A tlanticl Sarah Bernhard says it best in the Honda commercial: "I have a woman's needs." But neither she nor Chris really elaborate. At least Chris' vagueness has a melody to it.

Diane Rufer Research:

HIT FACTOR Ron Fell

Hit Factor is a percentage of stations which have it in Heavy or Medium rotation. ie: 100 stations playing the record - 60 stations have it in Heavy or Medium rotation - Hit Factor = 60%

P.D. NNOTEBOOK by ERIC NORBERG

F M (L + R) + (L - R) = 2L (L+R)-(L-R)=2R

This column has paid special attention to AM radio in the last few years, because of the obvious need for help and encouragement. FM has not been without programming and technical problems of its own, and of these technical problems, three have been most troublesome. The first is the steep treble boost (pre- emphasis curve) built into the transmission process. I've spoken about it repeatedly before, since it is the major reason FM high frequency response does not match the original source on most stations. The desire for high modulation results in processing of the sound to squash and clip the highs -- preventing overmodulation at the cost of high fidelity.

The other two problems are "multipath," and the coverage reduction that stereo listeners have experienced in fringe areas.

Multipath is the audio equivalent of "ghosts" on TV --the signal is reaching the receiver directly and via one or more "bounces" from reflective surfaces that are received almost as strongly as the direct signal. The receiver can't separate the signals, and the result is distortion, garble and while moving, a rapid series of noise bursts (the "picket fence effect "). For this problem, FM has a compensating strength --the receiver can distinguish between signals on the same frequency, and unlike AM, not reproduce the weak one at all. But this ability (called "capture ratio ") requires some difference in the signal strengths, and if the ratio is too narrow, the receiver can't cope, and you hear both signals. Receiver technology has gotten steadily better on FM, and the best units now deliver less than 1db capture ratio, which is probably pushing the limit in the laws of physics!

That's usually good enough to give a clear signal when it's hopelessly multipathed on more conventional receivers, but not enough to competely solve the problem where there are mountains, canyons or lots of tall buildings.

In addition to improving capture ratio, FM car radios can be made more multipath -proof by using two or three whip antennas, and a special antenna circuit that selects the best signal at any given moment as the vehicle rolls along. This is called the "diversity system" of reception and it can have a major effect in making car FM sound good. The system has been used successfully on the expensive wireless mike systems to eliminate multipath on TV broadcasts.

Unless some new and quite different technology emerges, FM will always be at some disadvantage to AM on multipath, though it can be minimized much more than it usually is now.

The third problem has seemed insoluble up to now --mono vs. stereo effective coverage for FM. While AM stereo has the capability of delivering stereo about as well as it does mono at the same distance from the transmitter, FM paid quite a price for the stereo system the FCC authorized a quarter- century ago: substantial loss of usable coverage area for stereo listeners.

As with all broadcast stereo, it's necessary that the main channel audio be mono, so mono receivers will hear both stereo channels mixed together- - rather than just one, with the resulting audio imbalances. So the FM stereo system adopted mixed stereo to mono on the main channel (LEFT PLUS RIGHT). How do you get stereo out of that? Remember algebra in high

school? You have a second signal that is LEFT MINUS RIGHT! And then --here comes the algebra --you mix those two signals together electronically:

(L + R) + (L - R) = 2L (or pure left audio)

(L + R) - (L - R) = 2R (or pure right audio)

The two signals are mixed together; the right channel info is

cancelled out, to get left. Then the two signals are mixed together out of phase, which cancels out the left signal, and leaves the right. Works fine.

Problem is, in FM, the (L - R)

signal is multiplexed above the audio range of the mono signal, and is much more susceptible to hiss and noise. As the signal gets weak, in the fringe areas, it gets noisy long before you reach the distant point where the main channel mono signal does. And when you mix a clean signal and a noisy signal together, you get a noisy result --on both channels. So for the last 25 years, if you were a distant listener of a noisy FM stereo signal, your solution was to throw the switch to mono and listen that way. In recent years, the more sophisticated receivers -- including many in cars --had a "blend" circuit that would automatically reduce separation more and more as the signal got weaker, to try to offer some slight stereo in fringe areas.

I bring all of this up because there appears to be a viable solution to the stereo coverage problem. I'll tell you about it next week.

CHINWAG by Keith Zimmerman, Joe Belden and Kent Zimmerman

Gary Taylor, former Gavin Report Managing Editor, has been appointed Senior Vice President of Transtar Radio Networks in Los Angeles. Gary leaves the great Northwest to handle the all digital -all satellite five format network. GT also reports that Transtar has picked up the marketing rights to Ted Turner's CNN Radio Network. CNN will continue to produce the programming, which currently airs on about 250 stations nationwide, while Transtar will handle the marketing, sales, traffic and accounting. Says Turner Broadcasting Chairman Henry Gillespie, "We are television marketing specialists and are turning over to radio marketing specialists a form of programming not now among their current networks." Transtar's plans for its new acquistion have not yet been finalized. Says Taylor, "Anything I tell you would probably be wrong."

T Richard Smith has left his post at Arista Records as VP of Black Promotion to pursue a similar position at Geffen Records. Joining him at Geffen Records is Eddie Gilreath who will work in the capacity of marketing and sales. Both Smith and Gilreath will report to Ed Rosenblatt, President of Geffen Records. T Ace Texas programmer John Clay of KWES /FM- Odessa checked in with C'wag to let us know that he's riding off into the sunset to become the new Program Director of KHTZ in Reno. Also joining Clay westward -ho is KWES morning air personalities John Welch and Woody Stevens. Says Clay, "I'm excited by the challenge of making KHTZ the number one station in Reno. And it will happen. I'm also looking forward to working with the existing staff and management there and also happy to bring a couple of familiar faces along with me."

And now the snooze...The Bruskin Report says one out of four people sets the alarm clock or clock radio to go off before 6 a.m., and one out of three sets the alarm for between six and seven. But that doesn't mean they're out of bed. About 26 percent get up before the alarm, 27 percent get up immediately afterwards, 28 percent wait five or 10

minutes, and 17 percent lie around for even longer before rising to face the world. r The staff of KHOP /FM -KTRB in Modesto, CA, is mourning the loss of station owner Pete Pappas, who died suddenly at the age of 48 while vacationing with his family in Utah earlier this month. Pappas, who was 48, was "the kind of person who put his stamp on everyone who worked for him," according to PD David Kraham. "He was a self -made man who became the owner of the two most powerful stations in the Central Valley." Kraham adds, "Besides being my boss, he was my best friend at the station. We all feel a part of us died along with him."

T What do John Lander, Larry Berger, Bob Call and Sunny Joe White have in common? Besides being among the country's top programmers, they've joined KITS -Los Angeles' Rick Dees in organizing B.A.D.-Broadcasters Against Drugs. The effort is aimed at convincing radio stations to use their influence to keep kids off drugs. Says Dees, "The use of illegal drugs by young people has become such a serious problem that something must be done." His first effort is aimed at encouraging PDs to the dangers of making casual pro -drug remarks on the air. "I do not want to confuse this issue with those surrounding the proposed censorship of music," he asserts. "That is a problem that must be dealt with by the music industry working with the recording artists themselves." If you think B.A.D. is a good idea, contact Dees at KITS: (213) 466 -8381.

ON MANAGEMENT ORE Y DR.

CONTROL WITHOUT THE PAPER -WEIGHT: SOME CLUES FROM A TURNAROUND

Three years ago, a company called Springfield Remanufacturing Center Corp., or SRC, was losing $2 million a year on annual sales of $26 million. Since that time, SRC's turnaround has been extraordinary. Sales have grown 40% per year and are expected to reach $42 million this fiscal year; net operating income has risen to 11%; the debt -to- equity ratio has gone from 89 -to -1 to 5.1 -to -1; the value of a share in the company's ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) has gone from 10 cents to $8.45; absenteeism and employee turnover have almost disappeared; and the number of accidents has fallen dramatically. The story of this remarkable turnaround is told in detail in a recent issue of lac. magazine, but I'd like to draw out a few themes from the story to illustrate some of the points I've been making in the last three columns.

If you remember, we've been talking about the necessity of reducing the amount of rules, written procedures and general paperwork in order to enhance productivity, innovation and morale. Before the turnaround, SRC was run a traditional way by its parent company: masses of paperwork, a myriad of paper controls, a sea of memos, countless rules and procedures, obsession with hierarchy, and reams of irrelevant statistics which threatened to drown individual managers. Unsurprisingly, the company's performance was dismal.

In contrast, last column we discussed three ways of maintaining control --and enhancing productivity, innovation and morale -- without the "paper- weight"

"" "Determine the two or three things that your organization (or department or division) does or wants to do excellently. Determine the two or three things that will set you apart from your competitors. Then obsess on those things."

" "Whatever your organization is going to excel in, you as the manager must pay a le,t of attention to ir.

"" "Whatever your organization is going to excel in, you as the manager must be 100% consistent about it."

Let's see how all this applies to SRC.

1. SRC chose a few concrete areas to obsess on: Initially, it was product quality, safety, housekeeping (cleanliness and tidiness of work areas) and some modest quantity-of- production goals. Last year, the areas of obsession were reducing certain problems in overhead to specific dollar figures and increasing net operating income from 6% to 11 %. The point is that everyone in the firm knew the areas of obsession --the rules of the

game, if you will. Notice that they also keep the rules to a minimum. Remember, one can't obsess on trying to do twenty things perfectly.

2. Bonuses for managers are tied specifically to attaining concrete goals based on the areas of obsession. Last year, for example, the firm met its overhead reduction goal but not its operating income goal, so each employees' bonus was "only" 7.8% of gross salary, rather than 10 %. Additional bonuses are given to employees who provide ideas which improve the plant's operations in the direction of the areas of obsession --up to $500 an idea, and remember that this is a small company!

3. Everyone -- managers and nonmanagers --gets constant information regarding progress toward the areas of obsession. Tons of paperwork are avoided; the information is focused primarily on the areas of obsession. For example, electronic message boards constantly flash updated information and statistics on efficiency. All employees get regular information in meetings about the company's progress towards reducing overhead, or improving product quality. Every single employee has access to the company's monthly financial report. Employees who can't understand the numbers are tutored by their bosses. In fact, the company has paid for every worker in the plant to take a series of business courses ranging from accounting to warehousing so they could understand and appreciate the information that they would be receiving on a regular basis. And I mean regular. At one stage, during the obsession on reducing overhead, the company was giving employees a daily income statement.

4. All employees are encouraged- -more than encouraged --to participate in giving advice on how the company can achieve its obsession goals. And with all the information they receive, with bonuses tied to reaching the goals, and with the ESOP mentioned earlier, employees are committed towards attaining the goals.

5. Managers and supervisors constantly talk about the areas of obsession. They find out what tools and resources employees need to do the job (they ash employees!), and they provide them. They're constantly interacting with employees, on the shop floor, during meetings, at after -work bars, to stay in touch with the people that are going to make or break those company goals. This is true, by the way, for the President- -Jack Stack. He knows he's more likely to reach the goals if he connects with his people than if he stays in his office or rubs elbows with so- called VIP's. Managers --again with Stack as the role model --attack any problems that could distract people from the goals. For example, they

r r Efficiency and productivity occur when leaders provide employees with a few areas of 100% obsession, all the information and support they need, and plenty of monetary and psych- ological incentives ." confront conflict and petty gamesmanship immediately, rather than avoiding it and hoping it will go away.

6. In addition to the bonuses and stock ownership plan, the company throws huge celebrations whenever goals are attained. For example, on the afternoon marking 100,000 hours without an accident, the plant closed for a big beer bust with the "Rocky" theme, trophies, speeches of congratulations and many awards for individuals and groups.

So what has SRC done? Nothing magical, except this: The company realized that efficiency and productivity do not occur with an ever- increasing mass of rules, hierarchy and paperwork. Efficiency and productivity occur when leaders provide employees with a few areas of 100% obsession, some basic rules of the game, all the information and support they need, and plenty of monetary and psychological incentives to get the job done. Sounds simple, doesn't it? It's not, or else more managers would do it. Leadership is what's required, not paper. Unfortunately, many people in managerial positions are not acting like leaders. My next few columns will talk about leadership. Let's see if we can do something about it.

ALBUM /ALTERNATIVE GAVIN ALBUM FRONTLINE

PETER GABRIEL HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS

TALKING HEADS

Contenders-Easterhouse (Columbia) One of this year's energy essentials, Easterhouse project a ragged excitement and a true sense of outrage. If you think these guys aren't serious, check the lyrics on Out On Your Own ". Comparisons to bands like U2, Joy Division, The Smiths, and The Waterboys are fair and actually called for. In fact, on the basis of just this one album, Easterhouse has potential to reach that same stratospheric league. They wield a tense but twangy power, fueled by anger rarely felt this side of the Atlantic. Easterhouse's debut LP is a sturdy midpoint between making serious outlaw rock n roll and making a strong, yet minimal artistic statement. After "Whistling In The Dark" and "Out On Your Own ", you're on your own.

MI1091' 4 HUN

"Human" -Human League (A &M) Here it is September and I do believe I've heard my single of the year. "Human" by the Human League shows Phil Oakey and company are back, teaming up with Time- keepers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Jam and Lewis, the two hottest knob twiddlers in the business (especially after this), keep pushing the Minneapolis mystique beyond even the realms of international boundries. You'll be hearing an awful lot of "Human" because it's state -of -the -art, hip, smoldering, and a great tune. Look out!

Graceland -Paul Simon (Warner Bros.) Paul Simon is certainly no stranger when it comes to incorporating Third World rhythms to his music. Aside from the odd calypso invader (i.e. Desmond

31

R.E.M

NEW Dekker's "The Israelite "), Paul Simon was one of the very first to incorporate reggae and South American folk onto our commercial airwaves. Graceland triples his commitment to third world authenticity by cutting 80% of the album either in Johannesburg or utilizing a core of three African musicians in New York. After cutting the instrumentals , English lyrics were grafted on with care. Electricity being no stranger to the African beat, Fender guitars and basses abound. Given that common ground, Simon expands the concept by adding a hint of Synclavier and high tech mixes. Added bonus trax include the last two songs, cut with Rockin' Dopesy and Los Lobos. Graceland as a total project has acres of heart, soul, and innovative spirit. Fave trax: "Under African Skies," " Graceland," "Crazy Love, Vol. II," "All Around The World" and "That Was Your Mother." Earthrise -Tandy & Morgan (Straight Ahead) Whilst remaining involved with Electric Light Orchestra, it's a pity Jeff Lynne doesn't take more direction from Tandy and Morgan. Earthrise, three years in the making, is a total concept sci -fi work not unlike I Robot. Also like the Parsons project, airplay trax are easily extractable when taken out of the context of the concept. Whether taken as a whole or in parts, Tandy and Morgan, with the help of ZTT superproducer Steve Lipson, maintain the balance it takes to indulge in their fantasies while staying sensitive to the requirements of airplay. Don't let the packaging fool you. This is an ambitious, mega -MIDI production. Crisply recorded, check "RIA ", "Zero Zero" and the finale piece, "Spaceship Earth." Do turn it up.

"Babies " -Real Life (Curb /MCA) Australia's Real Life pulls one out called "Babies." For purely selfish reasons, I like the earthquake club mix. The "rock mix" is more succinct, more in

the real of radio airplay. The song is written by Holly Knight. Play it until the walls shake. Sneak this one in with the Human League.

U B40 WOODENTOPS

Press To Play -Paul McCartney (Capitols Paul McCartney, who has recently become quite the mediaphile, releases his first album since his departure back to the label that spawned Beatlemania. The first thing that will turn your head is the packaging, with the cover photo a classic, authentic Hollywood shot done in 30's style. An even bigger surprise is that all of the advance twelve inch releases were culled from side two when it's side one that holds all the goodies. The three opening trax, "Stranglehold," "Good Times Coming /Feel The Sun" and "Talk More Talk" are excellent compromises between Paul McCartney the basement chemist and Paul McCartney the big time mega- budget recording hero /publishing mogul. His hair may be gray, but the ole McCartney charm is in tact. If you're out there (and I know you are), well done.

Fahrenheit -Toto (Columbia) Here's the scoop on Toto's new LP. The best songs aren't the leapers, but rather the medium tempo trax like "Without Your Love," "We Can Make It Tonight," "Somewhere Tonight," and "Could This Be Love." Fahrenheit ironically relies on its cooler moments. It is then when the band plays by instinct rather than rote. We hear from a host of upper demo stations that will feast on this LP for months. Miles Davis makes quite an impressive cameo on the very last track, the instrumental "Don't Stop Me Now."

"Emotion In Motion" -Ric Ocasek (Geffen) Ric Ocasek indeed gets his "emotion in motion ", turning in Cars -calibre material under the solo banner. I'd put this single right up there with Human League, both proving that, yes, high tech

E can indeed zing the heart strings. Beautiful tune.

MY 2 cents

With the coming of the Huey Lewis LP, three trax surfaced immediately, formulating an almost instantaneous consensus. The trax are "Jacob's Ladder" (written by Bruce Hornsby who is charted and underlined at #21) followed by "Hip To Be Square" followed by "Whole Lotta Love ". Needless to say, the single has generally been put so deep into recurrent they have to pump air in so that it can breathe. Look for action on "I Know What I Like" soon enough. With the progress of "Freedom Overspill," Steve Winwood holds on to number one for dear life. The next five acts are all underlined, and that includes Peter Gabriel, REM, Genesis (hot on the track with "Throwing It All Away ") and, of course, the debuting Huey and the hot News...Speaking of Genesis, the song "In Too Deep" is prominently featured in a segment of the movie "Mona Lisa" starring Bob Hoskins. It's funny, Hoskins reminds me of what Phil Collins might look like as an older man. Great flick and a very feeling song. There's a couple of winners in

the Top Ten, even though they jumped very little numerically. I'm talking about Billy Joel and David +David. Bonnie Raitt is right on the cusp of breaking Top Ten. Glad to see play on the track, "Crime Of Passion." Smithereens are mopping up this week. They inch up another two places to #12, sidestepping Daryl Hall who needs more action on a few more trax. Suggestion? "I Wasn't Born Yesterday" is a good starter. Great drum sound, and a hyper mix. As Paul Simon gathers praise from the New York Times, Album Radio is

finally clued in on the context of the single.

Graceland, a vague reference to Elvis, has a lot to do with the complex perception we have regarding South Africa. Apartheid is an ugly situation. How to deal with it is the tricky part. UB40, with a strong Alternative base, are doing extremely well both on the airwaves and on the road. Don Johnson jumps

five points, #39 -34. I agree with the LA Times' Robert Hilburn. The guy can sing and the album as a solo effort and a collaboration stands on its own. A few of you continue to hold out. Miami Vice producer Michael Mann promises that the new season will expand on the original concept of the show. Sonny even gets a new car. More importantly, some of the segments will be directed by up and coming film directors. The point? As the fall season starts, with Miami Vice on top, the guy's appeal will be for real. Pete Townshend sets a Gavin record by having the best week on the record that won't exist on the retail circuit. I

received play on all four trax. Pete was third Most Added, just behind a hot Ric Ocasek...Rodney Crowell fans, red alert! Do you know his new LP (featuring two great trax "Old King Richard" and "She Loves The Jerk ") is being augmented by a special Interview LP? This special disc, produced by CBS' Steve Backer and Dane Venable, features the songs interspliced with dialogue, conducted in interview fashion by Jason Ringenburg, he of Jason & the Scorchers. Need a copy for the collection ? Call the Backerman at 212 -975 -5959. He personally promised copies for everyone. Give him a shout. I listen to it more than the LP...KZ

ALTERNATIVE ACTION This marks an important week in the evolution of the Gavin Alternative Chart. This is the first week our research was fully computed. This may not appear to be significant on the surface, but this added use of technology will enable us to offer even more detailed information and added services in the future. REM has no problem as they annihilate everyone in their path. They hold a lead of over 50% in airplay points above all others. Eurythmics inch up, switching places with The Smiths, who are doing well, despite a slight drop. The Heads just won't die. Once the album is released they could be a true number one threat. But they aren't alone as UB40, the Woodentops and Gene Loves Jezebel all invade

our Top 10. Bill Nelson continues to climb and still has plenty of headroom. Dr. & the Medics are Certified and will achieve top ten status with ease. The Top 10 will be a very intense battle come about two weeks. Game Theory, Timbuk 3 and David & David all debut this week. I'm getting lots

of great feedback on Timbuk 3's debut album. Look for a significant gain next week. Of the Chartbounds, Christmas, Bonnie Raitt and the B -52's stand the best chance of debuting.

SPOTLIGHT LP Human Frailtv- HUNTERS &COLLECTORS(IRSZ Since their Alternative radio hit "Talking To A Stranger" a few years back, I've been hooked on this curious group of Australians. Hunters & Collectors are to blues -influenced rock bands in

the states what Midnight Oil is to our heavy rock groups. Their songs are characterized by thick back -beats with an especially high mix on the bass, like on the songs "Is There Anybody In

There? "and "The Finger." Their peculiar guitar fills are well placed and never in over abundance. H &C's regularly include horn arrangements that project a powerful presence and rounds out their ensemble. If you've ever seen these folks live you know it is indeed an impressive assemblage of musicians. The vocals and descriptive lyrics or "Say Goodbye" and "Dog" champion a emotional plea that's provoking. For those who've always felt H &C were just too eccentric, Human Frailty has the most accessible and commercially viable song they've recorded, "Throw Your Arms Around Me", proving just how talented and versatile this band really is.

STATION I.D.

KUSF Enjoying the Void In San Francisco By Beth Hartley

KUSF prides itself as being one of only a handful of Bay Area stations providing listeners with the best in

new, Alternative music. Their growing audience has reached an all -time high in listenership, indicated by a 40% ratings jump from last spring -a higher percentage climb than many commercial stations in the Bay Area .

KUSF's success traces back to 1980 when a series of circumstances catapulted the station into the spotlight. At the time, KUSF was predominantly a Public Affairs /Cultural station, a format which still comprises about one -third of the overall programming. KSAN changed formats from Album to Country, leaving Bay Area listeners with few outlets to hear then -new artists like U2, Echo & the Bunnymen and Siouxsie & the Banshees. KUSF responded by doubling their music broadcasting hours and adding KSAN veterans Richard Gossett, Beverly Wilshire and later Howie Klein (who still hosts a weekly show) to their staff, all of whom helped carry the early KSAN credibility, vigor and spirit over to KUSF. As present New Music Program Coordinator Lisa Yimm points out, "We were, and still are, very tied to the community and music scene that's happening locally...we were part of the scene that was happening with Romeo Void, Translator and other San Francisco bands that eventually went on to 'make it.- KUSF has always been tied to the national and international scene too, as reflected by current station favorites like REM, The Replacements and The Smiths. Interspersed with these artists are up- and -coming bands like the

Celibate Rifles or Sonic Youth. Much of KUSF's success can also be attributed to the high visibility of its famous logo throughout the Bay Area. The red & black skull- and -microphone crossbones appears on countless t- shirts, jackets and even watches. Most popular is the KUSF sticker which also serves as a measure of KUSF's diverse audience: it can be seen on everything from shoddy vans to squeaky clean BMWs. The logo is roaming around the Bay Area as well as different corners of the globe, as witnessed by a member of Depeche Mode once wearing a KUSF t -shirt on the cover of Melody Maker magazine. Billy Idol has worn the shirt for a number of publicity photos in the past, too.

An aggressive promotions department has also lent to the high visibility of the station. Co- presents at clubs and halls are regular occurences. Recent performances have included well -known bands such as the Violent Femmes, The Cure (who played for a sold -out audience of 9,000 at the Greek Theatre) and The Smiths. In addition, KUSF conducts contests that are on par with commercial stations. One recent promotion included a sightseeing tour of San Francisco with The Jazz Butcher.

Dial Position: Power: General Manager: Program Director: New Music Program Coordinator: Music Director: Promotion Director: Licensee/Owner:

"(KUSF has always

been) very tied to

the community and

music scene that's

happening " Like many college stations, KUSF

has served as a launching pad for staff members. Former Music Director Denise Sullivan now heads Publicity for 415 Records in San Francisco. Rick Stewart has worked at KQAK in San Francisco and KNAC in Long Beach. All of the former Program Coordinators have also moved into the industry. Harry Levy is the National Director of College Promotion for Elektra Records. Jim Burruss works as the Promotions Representative for RCA Records in Northern California and Hawaii. Peter Standish is, ahem, presently the Alternative Radio Editor at the Gavin Report. It remains clear that even more will join the ranks in

the music industry.

COUNTRY SUMMARY Dwight Yoakam's "Guitars,Cadillacs" has already bypassed the success of his "Honky Tonk Man ", which only reached number 5 on our chart. Quite a few of our reporters believe this will be Dwight's first number one record, and among the believers is Dan Olsen at WXYQ- Stevens Point, who's had Dwight at the number one spot on his chart for the last three weeks. The mid -chart crunch that we've been experiencing for the last couple of weeks is easing up a bit, as the stronger songs are starting to take control of the top half of the chart. The Earl Thomas Conley /Anita Pointer duet is becoming a fast favorite among our reporters and their listeners. Last week's Certified, Randy Travis, continues to dominate the chart this week with a tremendous 11 point jump. We rec eived our final ballots for the

Country Music Association Awards this week, and we noticed that Randy is nominated for four awards. Not bad for a newcomer! Barbara Mandrell's new LP, "Moments ", was released this week, and her single debuted on our chart at 37. Steve Gary at KVET -Austin reports immediate phones for "At The Sound Of The Tone" by John Schneider, which jumps into Chartbound. Tim Closson at WAXX/FM -Eau Claire suggests that all you programmers check out the J.D.Martin single . He thinks it has alot of merit, and so do our reporters at twelve other stations, including KWYZ, KYOU /FM, KRMS, KZMO, KSJB, KWTO /AM, WKKW , KCRS, WGAA, WCAV /FM, KEED, and KFGO. Even though it's not a single yet , the "Deep River Woman" cut from Lionel Richie's latest LP (with back -up vocals by

Alabama) is already making waves. Jeff Allen at WQSB /FM -Albertville says that there was such a demand from Alabama fans to hear the song that he's been forced to put it in regular rotation. The same holds true for Bob Young at WXTU -Philadelphia, who is programming the cut like a single, Kerry Wolfe at WRNS/FM -Coastal, where the song is the station's most requested, and Dave Davis at WWRK/FM- Elberton, who reports giant requests after only a week of play. Don Dana at KYOU /FM -Greeley has had a lot of success with a song by Bruce Hornsby & The Range called "Every Little Kiss" on RCA, and says he's also playing a couple of cuts from their LP. Talk to you next week!

"URBANIZING" by JERRY BOULDING

"THE FUN FACTOR"

As though we didn't already know, the Fall ARBitron rating sweeps are practically here and the decisions on how we are going to get ahead (and hopefully stay ahead) of the competition loom in our minds. At this time, we thought we'd look at what we call the Fun Factor in today's hit- oriented, research -based radio.

First of all, we could probably call the Fun Factor the Fast Furl Factor because, while today's generation certainly wants fun on the radio, they also want it fast! They're in a hurry...their parents and friends were in a hurry. For most of them and many of us, life kind of started out that way. Remember when you first began to read lines like, "See Spot run ?" Now it's see Dick run from karate to violin or perhaps piano lessons. See Jane read...Faulkner. See a crop of kids rushed from kindergarten to the analyst's couch. Why, by the time today's generation is ready for flash cards, they'll learn the alphabet, words and even Renoir before their fifth birthdays. Then there's French at four, phonetics at five and Faulkner before first grade. So what happens when this young "hurry-up generation" listens to the radio? What kind of songs do they want to hear? What kind of air personalities really talk their language?

We spoke with some successful programmers, managers, producers and air talent around the country, and the consensus of opinion runs pretty much the same regardless of market size: "Just keep playing the hits and entertaining between the hits and put the fun and excitement back on the radio." In other words, you have to be creative! You must do some show prep and you have to sound like you're having fun being on the radio and not let ratings intimidate you. Now, that's a lot easier said than done.

You can have fun with the music. Oh sure, it should be researched ar.d then "filtered" to make certain it's on target. But its presentation should be fun. One programmer at a medium market station in the South said he's trying to set up as many hot music sweeps as possible. His station starts out each hour by playing as many as seven or eight songs in a row. He feels this helps his time -spent -listening. Another PD says he just gets completely outrageous during his morning show, and then tries to play as much targeted hit music as possible throughout the rest of the day. "The station only does news in morning drive and, although our afternoon man would not be considered

funny compared to the morning team, he is entertaining and fun to listen to,"

FALL FALLOUT While the whole idea of having fun on the

radio is certainly nothing new , what is new is

the approach that most successful people take to the fun. Where it's placed, how it's handled and even how topical the bits are can add to the strength or contribute to the weakness of the station , once they stop the music. It has always been my experience that funny will win over non -funny, all things being equal.

So now that many of our younger summer demographics are headed back to school, what fast diet of superhits can we deliver for them? What can we do that will quickly bring those smiling faces forward? What about the rest of the audience? What now happens middays? What can we play and say to the parents that will keep their fickle fingers firmly fixed on our frequency? Well, our studies continue to show that many in our target audience listen in noisy environments. So maybe we shouldn't turn the energy down so far that we can't compete with the soaps. Many people listen to the radio while they're watching television and believe it

or not, they hear both! Researchers have a new term for early

academic stimulation: hothousing. The increasingly popular notion of force -feeding young intellects may produce emotional root rot, but these speed freaks know what they like. At the core of the debate is how the value of early childhood affects intellectual stimulation, but many parents are exerting the pressure on their offspring to learn. Unnatural levels of stress can lead to exhaustion, confusion and, ultimately, burn -out! What happens is that these children can grow up and become easily dissatisfied with everything that affects them during their time of leisure. They tire of the video games, MTV and VH -1. They go back and forth between their two favorite radio stations searching for a song they like. And if they're in the car, where the pushbuttons offer quick solutions to the problem, it's just a one -button motion to switch channels. And when their favorite song ends, they want another favorite song - j ,t or they'll switch. If they can laugh a little between challenges or get off hearing their favorite station share some fun with them...tit can be the difference. Feed 'em full doses of fun between the hits. PERSONALITY AND PROMOTIONS

Personality and promotions are two things

'The increasingly

popular notion of force-feeding young

intellects may produce

emotional root rot, but

these speed freaks

know what they like."

that can be used to stimulate the radio station beyond the hits. If your station has personality dee -jays, they should be encouraged to let that show. Now, obviously there isn't a lot of time to be a personality in today's radio. But there is time to prepare short bits which, when planned and scheduled properly, can really contribute to the station's personality. If you're an air -talent with a flair for humor, you must keep your material fresh. It's not enough for you to have just two great shows in a week and the rest of the week you simply wing it and are boring. Unfortunately this is the case with a lot of talent.

Although less than 18% of the people who listen to radio actually play, or plan to play the contest or participate in the promotions, these listeners can and should be entertained by them. Theses listeners that don't play along can get off vicariously on hearing others play. This is the basis of the TV game shows. Listeners can enjoy hearing the contest played. Some will even play along with a trivia question or a promotion in which they know the answers. But you must keep your promotions, humor and show prep fresh. And if you think people have a sense of humor but don't have a good memory, try repeating a joke or a bit you told about a month ago. A good air -personality with a sense of humor doesn't make a joke out of life; he /she merely recognizes the ones that are there. If you're on the air and suddenly can't remember a joke - don't aamember it..

URBAN CONTEMPORARY SUMMARY GWEN GUTHRIE not only graces our cover this week, she succeeds in overtaking OCEAN for number one. She needs to watch out for JANET and ORAN JONES, which are the only two underlined singles that are very close behind. ORAN continues to be the most requested tune at almost all stations that are playing it - they like the rap at the end...now there will come all the answer records to his rap, as expected. Andrew Bailey, WYNN -Florence says that he can't believe the calls he's getting for ASHFORD & SIMPSON...and Stephanie Smallwood, KFXZ- MauricelLafayette claims that it's one of her hottest request items also. CAMEO continues to drag out the request action, even after weeks of airplay has proven it's hot; it goes from 17 -10 on our chart and gets heavy requests, says Fred Harvey, WFKX- Jackson, who also says his top three requested items are CAMEO, HEWETT & SHIRLEY MURDOCK. Melvin Jones, KRNB -Memphis backs up Fred's request count on HOWARD HEWETT and reports they're 17+ in

demos. Danny Harris, KDKO -Denver reports his

requests like this: CAMEO "big, big ", CLUB NOUVEAU "tons of calls" and "starting to get requests for MARCUS ANTHONY." Certified choices are expected: TINA TURNER and FORCE MD'S got the highest debuts on this week's chart and won Certified at the same time.

Most Added was a fight to the finish. When I

spoke to most of you late Tuesday, it was neck and neck between STACY LATTISAW and the duet by MELBA MOORE & FREDDIE JACKSON, with CLUB NOUVEAU coming in with a really strong third place showing. By the middle of Wednesday morning when the chart came out of the computer printer, MELBA edged out STACY by 1 add, which could be called a draw, since a few stations haven't checked in this week. We're getting early reports of requests for the CLUB NOUVEAU "Jealousy ", a follow -up on Jay records to the TIMEX. Tony Brown, WBLX -Mobile says he's starting to get calls for it already. Doc Foster,

WQMG- Greensboro makes the PHYLLIS HYMAN his "pick" this week, it's the best of his new stuff.

L.D.McCollum, XHRM -San Diego reports that he's added the GENERAL KANE "Crack Killed Applejack" and is getting favorable response for it, along with comments (favorable, again) about the lyrics. Dean Dean, WDMT -Cleveland reports JAZZ JEFF as one that his listeners are calling in

for.

When Gary Weiler, WBLZ -Cincinnati received the new HUMAN LEAGUE "Human ", he put it

right on the air - according to Gary "you make room on your list for something this good." He went for it out -of -the -box and says the Terry Lewis & Jimmy Jam influence is just what they needed to come up with this great one. Ray Boyd, V103- Atlanta says that there are "tons of requests" for LISA LISA, and from Bill St.John,

KIIZ/AM -Killeen: "requests at our station for LISA are unbelievable!" J.C. Floyd, WQQK/FM- Nashville can't believe that the calls 'haven't let up for LISA USA after so many weeks of playing it." Tonya Pendleton, WILD- Boston says that CAMEO and USA LISA are both getting great calls and Mickey Arnold, WRDW- Augusta reports the same for his two top requested items: USA USA and DOUGIE FRESH. Getting into the more unusual product out there, Tony Gore, WWIL -Wilmington reports number one phones on LITTLE 7 & Hass CB. Mike Archie, WHUR- Washington says he's getting calls

for RJ'S LATEST ARRIVAL, early on in the airplay game. Both the GENOBIA JETER and the GENERAL KANE gained 10 adds, JETER totaling 25 reports and KANE totaling 12 reports, which is good for its first week out. Other debuts in Up & Coming are ATLANTIC STARR and CASH FLOW, which are both strong contenders for next week's high area in Up & Coming; HANSON & DAVIS, GAVIN CHRISTOPHER and RENE & ANGELA seem to be headed in the same direction. Last week our attention was brought to

BILLY GRIFFIN, the artist who replaced Smokey Robinson in The Miracles...he's debuting in Up &

Coming this week, as predicted, with 9 new

stations believing he can solo and make a go of it. Be sure to check out the GWEN GUTHRIE interview. She not only highlights her climb to where she is today, she also interprets the lyric content of her current single "Rent ". She's also quite a lady, very articulate when giving her answers and has quite a success story and background. That's it for a busy week. Be sure to call as early as possible on Tuesday and early morning Wednesday because of the Monday holiday. Everyone will be trying to get their reports in at the same time and these phones will be BUSY! Thanks, Betty.

I I II

called East Coast, which was a group formed by Larry Blackmon before he formed Cameo. I was the lead singer. Even in high school, I was involved in

music...1 belonged to a group called the Ebonettes. During the summer break I got a call from a girlfriend who was doing backup work with Cissy Houston. used to say to her, "Why don't you tell her about me, you know I'm good" and we used to laugh about it. Then one day she actually did call me and said "Listen, Gwen. We're in a pinch. One of the regular girls can't make it. Can you make it ?" And said "Are you kidding ?" She told me to be at Regent Sound in New York on West 57th Street. We were working for Arif Mardin. Now how's that for a start? GAVIN: Not bad. Who was the singer? GG: We did one track for Margie Joseph and one

4 track for none other than Aretha Franklin. It was for the "Let Me In Your Life" LP. The cut I was singing on was "I'm In Love," a re -make of the Wilson Pickett song. I was floating on air after that...I said that if

ever got the opportunity to do a session, I would make such an impression they'd have to call me back! I'm a nice person, not overbearing or pushy. They gave me my part and I did it. Arif was so impressed with me that he told Cissy that he wanted her to call me instead of the other girl from now on GAVIN: What other artists did you do session work for in the early days? GG: There was Brook Benton, Oscar Brown, Jr., Ben E. King, Marlena Shaw... GAVIN: You mentioned Ben E. King...you co-wrote his comeback song "Supernatural Thing." Who did you write it with? GG: His name was Patrick Grant. We wrote quite a few things, some beautiful things that have never been recorded. Now I'm trying to get some of those compositions back and do a few of them myself. GAVIN: What other artists have you performed with? GG: I did back -up for Roberta Flack, and as my career started to develop , there was Quincy Jones, Kenny Loggins, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Ray Charles, Phyllis Hyman and Stephanie Mills, Bob James - everybody you can imagine. GAVIN: What was the turning point in your career? GG: I'd say with the release of "Padlock," the EP last year, the mini -album. Prior to that I had released the long- playing album "Just For You" and in that album was the cut "Love In Moderation" which went to

number 17 in the black singles national chart. I really hadn't had anything before that. GAVIN: You had three albums prior to this one and you had a chance to work with Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. How did that come about? GG: I met Sly and Robbie in '78 working on Peter Tosh's "Bush Doctor" album. We met and we just fell in love...the three of us! I mean it was great! GAVIN: Is there film of that? GG: (laughs) We're great friends, the three of us. I'm a little closer to Sly, though. They've been wonderful. They think that I'm the greatest singer who ever walked this earth! Now, I know better than that (laughs), but if you talk to them, they'll tell you. Anytime they've been involved in any projects for anybody, they always manage to weasel me in

somehow...right to present day. I mean, anything they're working on, they want Gwen there and they don't just want me there with other singers, they want me there to do ALL the background and all the leads. They're the greatest. GAVIN: In the stuff you did with Sly and Robbie there was obviously a lot more reggae influence in your music and I notice that it doesn't exist in this album. Did you go more to a straight -ahead club feel for what you're doing now? GG: Well, I had something to prove with this album. had to prove first of all that I could produce myself. This is a new relationship with a new record

company and I was tired of making records and not having the type of freedom and control that I need. didn't want to have to be told what to do by a producer. I wanted to have that control. I was quite serious about that. They decided that they would let me produce the first half of the album and if it's lousy and if it stinks, we'll just bring somebody in. But I fooled them...it was wonderful. I'm saying all this because since I had something to prove, I

wanted it to be a very commercial album, something that would sell easily with the maximum amount of appeal GAVIN: You talk about control. What about artists who go to great lengths to provide what they consider to be a definitive version of a song, and then turn it over to clubs and re- mixers who re- create and extend the recording? GG: That's right, but that's beyond my control because after you turn your masters over to a record

"I had something

o ?' to prove with

this album...I paid my

dues...two broken homes,

three bad accountants, three

bad lawyers...a fractured

ankle in two places...."

company, it becomes a business of dollars and cents and it's very competitive. They want to make sure that their record is compatible with other product in the marketplace. They bring in the mixers and you just have to hope that they don't destroy it

too much. GAVIN: How do they do it, the mixing, with the editing in and the editing out of the vocals and instrumentals? Do they have access to the masters? GG: W th "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent," there was a vocal version, a dub version if you will, on the A -side, mixed by Larry Levan, and the B -side had the other mix. They'd get two or three of these records and play with them like that. I don't know where they get them. GAVIN: But it doesn't bother you that much what they do with it if it creates more interest in the music? GG: Sometimes it bothers me because some of the mixes don't do credit to the song at all Sometimes people go crazy. GAVIN: Do you have a favorite version of "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent "? GG: Yes, I love the Larry Levan mix. It's the ultimate mix. GAVIN: He's done a lot of your stuff in that past, hasn't he? GG: Yes, and I insisted they bring Larry in on this. have to have him. I've gotten spooky about Larry! (laughs) GAVIN: It seems, particularly in New York, that the club scene has returned. Now, you have to benefit somewhat from this, don't you, in that it's a major factor in record sales? GG: Oh yes. The clubs seem to set the pace and determine what the record is going to do to a certain extent. GAVIN: How long has "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent" been available in clubs for play?

GG: Since the middle of April. They started playing it then. GAVIN: There has been a little bit of flack, not a

major controversy, but some people have said that the lyrics may be setting back feminism a little bit? GG: NO! When you see the video you'll see that's not true. We shot it like we did to clear up all these misconceptions. I'm not saying that women should sit back and get a man with money and not do anything. What I'm saying is that in a relationship where there are commitments and children and heavy, heavy times, like marriage or living with somebody - you know, serious relationships - it's important that both parties be productive and understand how important that is to the success of the relationship. I've had relationships where I was working and the guy wasn't working, or they start out working and somewhere along the line they feel they don't really have to work because of what I'm doing. I resent it because I want to feel like everybody's contributing. And you know, a lot of women are like that... "Let's do it together...1 don't want you to carry me, but I don't want to carry you either!" GAVIN: Do you think that maybe that message was missing in the lyric? You can make up for it in the video, but is it missing in the lyric? GG: I'm singing from a woman's point of view in this lyric. If a man was singing it, they'd understand that. GAVIN: One other track on the album that is particularly intriguing, and possibly "dangerous" might be "Close To You." How did all of that come about...you took a classic song that's a syrupy, very safe, and rendered it almost unrecognizable in many points. What are your thoughts on that? GG: (laughs) Oh, I enjoyed that so much. It was such a challenge. First of all, a friend of mine by the name of Brian Morgan arranged the body of the song. When I first heard it I didn't recognize it until it got to the bridge..you know...(sings) "On the day you were born..." That's still recognizable. And I said "Oh my God...is this 'Close To You'? I would've never guessed. At that point, it had no melody. It

was so different from the original that it was a real challenge to work out a new melody for it. It had to be pretty and do justice to the song, because it's a standard and people love that song. GAVIN: Have you had any reaction from Burt Bacharach or Hal David? GG: Not yet, but I was told that someone was going to send them a copy. But I got off on doing all my own background and it was a joy to work on it.

GAVIN: Better late than never may be the best way to describe the success you're having with "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent." GG: You know what? I PAID MY DUES! I paid such a heavy price...two broken homes, three bad accountants, three bad lawyers, two bad record companies (laughs) and four days before Easter, a fractured ankle in two places. GAVIN: Maybe we're going to turn things around here! It's time! Ifs time! (laughs) GG: (laughs) It's time, that's right! I guess the Creator looked down and said "Give this woman a break. She's had it!" GAVIN: What's in the future for you? What's the rest of the year look like? GG: I'm getting ready to go on tour...l've got some dates booked in Europe opening fcr Al Jarreau. Isn't that wonderful? Then I've got some dates booked here opening for Jeffrey Osborne. He's a sweetheart. He's going to use both Anita Baker and me, and split up his dates between both of us. GAVIN: He saw Anita at Carnegie Hall and was blown away by her. She's currently on tour with Smokey Robinson. GG: I wish her the best and I'm sure she's paid her dues - just like I have!

the GAVIN REPORT DAVE SHOLIN'S Personal Picks - SINGLES

RON FELL'S Personal Picks - ALBUMS

HUMAN LEAGUE - Human (Virgin /A &M' While they may have washed upon our shores during the first wave of new music mania in the early 80's,their combined talents rise above trendiness. This beautifully sculpted arrangement is a winner on many levels, echoing an old message in a new and clever manner. Absolutely brilliant. Credit producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for contributing to what deserves to be a contender for record of the year.

RIC OCASEK - Emotion In Motion (Geffen). Through an unintentional mixup I didn't receive this track in time for review last week. One spin is all it took for me to become a believer. Expect this to be in high rotation on Top 40, A/C, and Album radio during most of Fall '86.

BELINDA CARLISLE - /Feel The Magic (I.R.S. /MCA). Return now to that magical time...the early 60's, when a song like this could've been a hit as easily as now. It may be new but there is that unmistakable air of familiarity that's a plus for programmers.

DEVICE - Who Says (Chrysalis). Not easy to make the kind of initial splash that this band pulled off on their debut single. Happy to hear Holly Knight and Company top themselves on round two. Here's some convincing evidence Device is headed towards a long, healthy career.

CHRIS THOMPSON - What a Woman Wants (Atlantic' Jocks are sure to love the title of this sleeper entry. If you think you've heard that vocal somewhere before you're right..Chris was the voice on the Manfred Mann hit "Blinded By the Light" and also fronted his own band, NIGHT. A well constructed, classy production.

PAUL SIMON - Graceland (Warner Bros.1 Simon takes big risks, probably as much for the artistic satisfaction as anything else. While artists half his age and a tenth his talent will often choose to nap in the lap of the luxury of a hit record, Paul would rather pack up his helmet and pointed pen and safari to the wild Zydeco or the ghetto of Soweto. Graceland is a grand experiment --an attempt to fuse the accordian of the bayou with the jive and rhythm of South African Township. Rhymin' Simon is hooked on rhythms to which he can tailor his peculiar poetry. The lead single, YOU CAN CALL ME AL is a story of an anonymous man who "holds no currency" in a strange country. BOY IN

THE BUBBLE hangs our world by a slender thread tied down by the polar extremities of miraculous technology and apocolyptic apathy. Graceland is as much a metaphor for the building of dreams as it is the Memphis mansion. Paul may have done as much to popularize ethnic rhythm and style as any white boy alive. The inspiration may have come from the legends of Miriam Makeba, Gil Scott- Heron, King Sunny Ade and Clifton Chenier, but to have someone of Simon's stature make such pleasing and apolitical music takes it to a new level.

GEORGE BENSON - While The City Sleeps (Warner Bros.' It'd be pretty hard to sleep through the opener on this 8 -track presentation. WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS burns like no other Benson track in recorded history. Robbie Buchanan and his synthetic wall of digital sound compliment GB's full- throat approach to the words of lyricist Dave Innis (from the band Restless Heart). The themes and attitude on most other tracks on the LP are even more nocturnal, smoky and subtle .

KISSES IN THE MOONLIGHT, the first single, already top thirty on our Urban and A/C charts, has the traditional Benson grace of presentation. Until WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS sees the light of day, we'll have to be content with traditional Benson listenership, which is considerable.
