Congratulations to KOLO -Reno who won top honors in the recent California- Nevada Associated Press Television -Radio Association (APTRA) news competition. News Director Patrice Bingham and anchor /anchor reporters Eric Roy and Greg Koelfgen will receive awards. GM John Rogers sure is proud. That's KOLO Country 920 AM.

Coyote Calhoun not only won a Gavin Award for Country Air Talent of The Year,

WAMZ has been named Country Radio of The Year by the Academy of Country Music. According to GM Bob Scherer, they were chosen from 3,000 stations across the USA.

Just in time for April 15th, there's changes at IRS Records. Stacy Banet has been appointed East Coast Publicity Co- ordinator. She will continue her National Dance Club Promotion responsibilities. At IRS -LA, Jay Boberg announces the appointment of Karen Kelly to the post of National Director of Video Promotion. And certainly not least, Lori Blumenthal joins IRS as National College Promotion Director Lori will be based in New York and will report to VP Michael Plen, no mean feat.

Rick Springfield and Major Way Management have parted ways, as has Bill

Aucoin and Billy Idol.

by Keith and Kent Zimmerman

Hard working Nan Fisher, the National Alternative Director for MCA has relocated from Atlanta to the mothership at Universal City, in closer proximity to John Schoenberger's Album department. We remember Nan once calling in for her Gavin numbers aboard a 747. Dedicated decadence. Impressive nonetheless.

We saw it in person, bubba. No press release was necessary. At the Golden State Warrior /Detroit Pistons game, there was a halftime basket shoot for charity. KYUU- San Francisco's morning ace Don "Daddy Long Legs" Bleu made a half court shot, beating out former Oakland Raider tight end Raymond Chester.

Mila Collins moves to Texas. The former RCA Nashville Local Promotion Manager now does RCA Local in Dallas.

Dave Bishop, former PD of WBT- Charlotte and more recently at WMGF -Milwaukee can be found at WSNY -Columbus, Ohio beginning April 7th. This is a homecoming of sorts. We remember Dave at WCOL with Bryan McIntyre.

Make up your mind. The legendary Ant Mardin has executive produced and co- produced two current singles. One is

"Move Away" by the Culture Club, the other is "Move Closer" by Marilyn Martin. Mardin's work on the Culture Club will score big, just you wait and see. Yes, you can hold us to that.

PolyGram President Dick Asher has appointed Steve Pritchitt Vice President, International for PolyGram. He will coordinate with affiliated companies the release and marketing of international recordings here in the USA, a key gig when you consider the huge success PolyGram has had with hip European acts.

KUSF -San Francisco Program Coordinator Harry Levy will become the new Director Of College Promotion for Elektra, working out of the Big Apple. Levy succeeds Dave Johnson, who travels West as Elektrá s new Bay Area local rep. Will Harry relinquish his Haight Street apartment to dashing Dave?

Continuing the long overdue rise of local promotion, Michelle Meisner takes over Local Promotion in Los Angeles for Elektra.

Mark Chemoff of WNEW /FM proudly announces the fact that WNEW /FM is

about to play their 2,000,000th rock 'n' roll song. If a listener guesses the song, the date, and the airshift, they win a Porche Targa worth forty large. First rock 'n' roll song played onWNEW /FM? The "unofficial" first was "Like A Rolling Stone" spun by Scott Muni in 1967.

As a thank you to their fans, The Alarm have announced plans to perform a free outdoor concert at UCLA's Janss Steps. The show, expected to draw 20,000 fans on the site, will be broadcast to 15 nations, including the US by MTV and Muchmusic Network in Canada. Time is 3PM PST,

Saturday, April 12.

Private Music has been releasing some amazing music. The label is headed up by ex- Tangerine Dreamist Peter Baumann. The music is digitally clean, vaguely in the vein of "new age" music. Label contact is Jane Davis (we remember her from WRAS- Atlanta) and her number is 212- 684 -2533.

KYNG /FM PD Dave O'Connor swears it's

true. Thirty years ago, KYNG /AM went on the air and the original owner of the station started playing rock 'n' roll. Since moving over to the FM band a few years back, the station has been rockin' and boppin' Top Forty all this time. Any friends of the station over the years can call Dave at 503 -267- 7055.

Lsa Velasquez phoned us to let us know she's jumpin' labels. The former Atlantic national singles whiz has moved up a few blocks and over to RCA Records under the moniker of Manager of Nat'l Singles Promotion.

A couple of anniversaries: It was ten years ago this month that Jim Walsh and partner Glen Von Calio founded 3WD in

Schenectady, NY. Any former staffers and record folks who helped along the way, call Jim at 518- 370 -5386. Down at the coast, WGAA- Cedartown, GA passes the 45th year milestone and "getting better everyday."

After a bout with Country, we hear Neil Young is recording another ultra- modern Trans -type record with Danny Kootch in

L.A.

HOLLYWOODby Tony Richland

The Academy of Warts

by Tony Richland

The Gavin Report Hollywood Bureau deployed Danny T. Holliday of KGOY in

Foonman, Ohio as our guest Academy Awards correspondent several weeks ago. His report follows:

Dear Gavin Report Sorry to be so late in

filing my Oscar report, but I stopped off in

Yankton on my way back to Foonman in

order to check in early for the Poe Convention. When I couldn't even find Bruce Wendell in the lobby I knew that I

was just a bit too early. WBBQ's Bruce Stevens was the only other "heavy" present.

But back to the Oscars: They were as thrilling as always, although I was slightly injured when I was stabbed by Cher's hat as I entered The Music Center. Wiping away the blood, I exchanged small talk with F. Murray (call me F.) Abraham, a

winner last year and now a complete unknown. F. and I rapped about the Sports Illustrated cover jinx as Molly Ringwald and Emilio Estevez emerged from their limo and kicked us aside. Never having heard of Molly and Emilio, I, in

turn, kicked them aside to get to Sean Penn for a taped interview. Sean, in

keeping with tradition, punched me in the face. The pain from the punch, along with the prior Cher hat wound had me in

growing discomfort, but I pulled myself together and moved on to an actuality with Steven Spielberg, still miffed at being sluffed off by the Academy for ignoring his

work on Jaws III. Steven was accompanied by a beautifully gowned shark and sent out negative vibes to

anyone in his path, including a late arriving Mental As Anything. Lionel Ritchie's acceptance of the Best Song Award was a particularly heartwarming

moment, although it was unfortunate that

his fellow nominees Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and Dimitri Tiomkin were all dead at

the time and unable to congratulate the ex- Commodore.

Sally Field, resplendent in her Singing Nun attire, arrived with ex -beau Burt Reynolds, setting both tongues and Burt's toupe awagging. One touchy moment when Loni Anderson and Dinah Shore converged on Sally, flayed her with their purses and ripped off her habit.

Streakers, bogus acceptees and other assorted characters have marred past Oscar ceremonies and this year was no

exception. Fortunately it was during a TV

commercial when Gavin Country editor Elma Greer raced nude across the stage bearing a sign reading, DWIGHT YOAKUM FOR BEST SCORE! Elma was restrained by a quick- thinking Charlie Minor who darted from his seat next to

John Houseman.

Co -host Jane Fonda was a stunning testimony to the wonders of aerobics. The 84- year -old superstar lit up the crowd when she took the stage in her size one strapless ribbed undershirt and Reeboks. Mellowed now into a member of

Hollywood's establishment, she eschewed her old raps about getting out of Vietnam. While on the subject of that far off land, we might note that Fwat Lung Duc of The Vietnam Times was denied a press credential when he was told that his

country is no longer hip.

New York's Scott Shannon, complete with Morning Zoo Crew, descended upon the festivities and scored an exclusive one on

one with Best Actor William or John Hurt,

mistaking the obscure winner for Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers.

We spotted a number of radio people in

the tuxedo -clad throng, including Gavin's own Eric Norberg, who was seen chatting about technical stuff with the late cinematographer James Wong Howe. Howe, who was accompanied by his relief pitching brother Steve, looked perplexed as Eric regaled him with hilarious anecdotes about cart machines.

The post- ceremony banquet featured numerous hip looking foodstuffs only known to one living human being, but unfortunately Fell wasn't present to

explain them at the time, so we picked nervously at our trays of what appeared to

be sheep lip canapes and sauted earlobe of Cowsill. When oting that our table assignment had us seated with Katherine Hepburn and Muhammad Ali, we tingled with anticipation, as Kate and Ali is our favorite sitcom.

I must say that the Tinseltown aura is a bit "fast -lane" for this small town DJ. I was shocked when the announcement was made that mandatory drug testing would take place at the door ... those without drugs had a hard time getting in!

All in all, it was quite an experience to rub shoulders with so many famous people. Would YOU be excited if you got to

shmooze with Ray Anderson AND The Bhagwan Ragneesh?

Next year can't come too soon.

Respectfully, Danny T. Holliday.

A/C HIT FACTOR

A/C ANALYSIS

STEVIE maintains his hold on #1, but the FORCE M.D.'S now have 90% of their stations in HEAVY ROTATION. DIONNE is closing up ranks. It's those three at the top until DIRE STRAITS and PHIL COLLINS make the run.

JERMAINE temporarily stalls at eight, despite picking up 40

HEAVY ROTATIONS and a HIT FACTOR of 92 %. His part -time singing partner is figuratively breathing down his neck with actually more stations (203 to 186) but only 38 HEAVY's to J.J.'s 129. I'm gonna set up the "Excuse Phone" again. I want to hear the reasons why any A/C would not be playing WHITNEY now.

MIAMI SOUND MACHINE now HIT FACTORED by 70% of those

playing it. SADE is already just a tick away from 50% in just two weeks.

Plenty of stations, nearly half of all A /C's, not playing SIMPLY RED. A 60% HIT FACTOR from those who are playing it.

MIKE & THE MECHANICS pick up 34 adds after last week's RECORD TO WATCH. Running a

lot faster than their previous single. This weeks' RTW, LEVEL 42 shows well where played and sounds like the kind of record we need to brighten ballad -laden playlists. Believers include: KGW, K101, KOB /FM, KBOI, KRIB and KFSB.

RECOMMENDED FOR A/C RADIO

BILLY OCEAN - "There'll Be Sad Songs" (Jive /Arista) This track will launch the next LP, due later this month. The song is sweet and rich in classic ballad style. A /C's should have a field day with this one. DREAM ACADEMY - "The Love Parade" (Reprise)There is so much harmony on this track it would be impossible for any of us to hum the melody off key. Add to its benefits an easy beat and a dedicated lyric of love and they can't miss.

LITTLE RICHARD In a career that has spanned more

than 30 years. Little Richard has

often been imitated. but never duplicated. Starting with his first million seller. Tuitti -Fruitti in 1955.

Richard Penniman went on to

record hit after hit. totaling 32

million awards by 1968. Following

a bout with drugs and school. Little

Richard left the music business to

serve the Lord singing Gospel

Music. 1986 marks his return to

the world of entertainment with his

hot song "Great Gosh A'Mighty." tram the movie he also stars in.

"Down And Out In Beverly Hills." He's currently living in Los

Angeles. and recovering from the

auto accident late last year.

I recently had the opportunity to

talk candidly with this true rock 'n' roll pioneer about the

years gone by and what lies ahead.

DS: Let's start with first things first and find out how you're coming along since your accident. LR: The diagnosis from the doctors is that the accident was almost fatal. I have 36 pins in my right leg and a steel plate up my thigh. You know my lip was torn off and they had to cut so much of it, it was really bad for me. I have to wait about two more months before I start physical therapy so I can walk again. But I've come a long way.

DS: Are you in a wheel chair now? LR: No, I'm on crutches. DS: So, you get around. LR: Oh, yes, I get around! But nothing like I used to. The doctor said that I'd be able to walk, I've already tried to walk and I

feel like I could walk, but my leg isn't strong enough with all these pins in it.

DS: You began singing in church and you were fairly young at the time. Now old were you? LR: I was about nine years old and I had a group called the "Tiny Tots Quartet" which consisted of my brother Market, my

brother Bobby, myself and a friend of ours by the name of Bobby Moore. We had a

gospel quartet Then I stopped singing with them and started singing by myself under "Little Richard." I started singing songs like "The Taxi Blues," "Gonna Get Rich Quick," "Rose," "Red Beans," and "Ain't That Good News." And all of Larry Dunhill's old songs, "For You My Love," and Billy Wright's old song, "I Love My Baby." Bruce Brown's old songs, Fats Domino's blues songs and stuff like that.

DS: Did you know you were going to make that transition from singing in

church to singing professionally? LR: When I was a boy, I was only singing in church because of my mother and grandmother, but when I would be singing Blues and Rock 'n' Roll at that time, they wouldn't allow it. I would play the piano every chance I got. I would go to my

Grandfather's house and play his piano and finally he gave it to me. He had some guys bring the piano to my house and we

had the whole neighborhood rockin' to

"Lucille" and "Tutti Frutti" way before I

recorded it.

DS: Give us a time frame here. LR: This was in 1955. "Tutti Frutti" came out in '56 for the first time. Then "Lucille," "Long Tall Sally," "Slippin' and Slidin'," "Jenny, Jenny," "The Girl Can't Help It,"

and right on up there. DS: Everybody's told this story so many different times, and you're the only person who knows the real story behind Tutti Frutti. LR: Uh, yeah, that was a risque tune in

the beginning. DS: Whether it's legend or fact, you wrote the song while cleaning pots and pans. LR: That's right, at the Greyhound bus station. I couldn't talk back to the boss, so instead of saying bad words I'd say "Wop Bop A Loo Bop A Lop Barn Boom," so he

didn't know what I was thinking. I would also sing "Tutti Frutti" to lighten the load

of carrying those dishes and washing all

the pots and pans. DS: You just came up with the lyric about the ice cream? LR: I wasn't thinking about ice cream, it

just came from nowhere.

25 the GAVIN REPORTIApril4, 1986



A King of Rock 'n' Roll DS: Today, of course, you're back on the silver screen, but you also were one of the first Rock 'n' Roll artists to star in movies. LR: That's right, with The Girl Can't Help It." I call it the first video. It was a pretty big budget Rock 'n' Roll movie. Most of them were, you know, Sam Katzman movies done in black and white. This was in color. DS: Wasn't the writer and director Frank Tashlin? LR: That's right, he let me get pretty wild. DS: Before that, correct me if I'm wrong, other black artists had to be toned down for these movies? LR: They toned everybody down, I was one of the first ones they let get loose. He told me to do whatever I wanted to do. It was really something. I was also one of the first black artists to get my music played on Top 40 stations. All the other black artists were played on black stations only. DS: Yes, everybody was covering those records. Why do you think that you were the first to get by? LR: I believe that the white kids loved my music, and being covered by people like Pat Boone and Elvis doing my music and Buddy Holly really helped me. It didn't hurt me, because it opened doors. It made me more acceptable in the white homes. In fact, they were a blessing to me, and I

thank God for them, they're great artists themselves. DS: I was thinking about Pat Boone in particular, because your version of "Tutti Frutti" and his version are worlds apart. Elvis came somewhat close. LR: Well, yes ... Elvis was one of the most electrifying entertainers ever. I have never seen an artist generate the energy that Elvis did. I have never seen a black or white artist do more on stage than Elvis could do. Elvis was a great artist and a great person. Pat Boone s version of "Tutti Frutti" was a watered -down version to me. At the time, I was a little disturbed. As life went by, I understood that it was a blessing. I thank God for Pat Boone and for Pat doing my material. DS: Can you tell us a little bit about the "Upsetters ?" LR: That was the "rockinest" group on the road at the time. They dressed fabulously, and were one of the few groups wearing makeup. They were also one of the few groups that was choreographed. They were good looking guys and fantastic musicians. In fact, I haven't heard nothing like them to this day. I was with one of them this morning. I was with the drummer. Charles Connels. He is the chief security guy at K -EARTH radio in Los Angeles. DS: Did you record with them?

April 4, 1986 /the GAVIN REPORT

LR: Yes. DS: How many records did you guys put out? LR: Oh, my God ... We put out more records than they had peanuts. I don't know exactly, but they played on a lot of them then. The studio band with Lee Allen played on a lot of them, and Earl Palmer in New Orleans, which means me and Fats Domino used the same band at Cosmos studio in New Orleans. DS: I didn't know that. LR: One year, we would all come in and record with the same group. DS: How did you get the name "Little Richard ?" LR: When I was a baby with the last name Penniman, it was difficult for people to remember. At that time "little" was popular. For example, they had Little Walter and Little Willie, so naturally I

became Little Richard. DS: And you've stuck with it? LR: I'm gonna keep it Stevie Wonder changed his, but I'm gonna keep mine. DS: Now let me get this right. It was in 1958 that you left show business to go to college? LR: Yes, I went to Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama. DS: How long were you gone? LR: Just a few years. DS: What made you come back? LR: Finances. Not eating good, not paying the bills, houses and cars being repossessed, and I became a drug addict. I was taking so much cocaine you could park diesel trucks up my nose. It was really something, I was really out there. I

had a friend of mine who got shot in the head and I found another friend of mine cut up with a butcher knife. Then my brother Tony fell dead. I decided that I

would just give it up. So I'm back in full

by Dave Sholin

force. The movie "Down And Out In Beverly Hills" gave me an opportunity to get back up, and the new tune, "Great Gosh A' Mighty" put me back on the charts. And let me tell you, it's a joy to be back. DS: Do you think that your career suffered during those years that you lett? LR: Yes, it suffered tremendously. You know, I became really poor. I was really down and out, and very disgusted. It was very boring for me. I can't describe the situations that I went through. But God brought me through them. DS: You had several come -backs, you left and then you came back and then you left again. Isn't that pretty much what happened? LR: Well, I left and I came back and left, and the first time I've truly been back is now, with "Great Gosh A' Mighty" and "Down And Out In Beverly Hills." It's been a great feeling. DS: It's gotta be. Can you explain the story behind "The King of Rock and Roll ?" Both you and Elvis are tagged with the title "The King of Rock and Roll." LR: You know, this thing about titles was never started by myself nor Elvis. The public gave us those titles. My only objective is to entertain the public, bring joy to people who are saddened, happiness to people that need hope, and to be be uplifting. Elvis did the same thing, he was a beautiful person and we were personal friends. The only king I know is God, and whomever said Elvis or I was king, then let it be. I do believe Elvis was king of what he did, and I believe James Brown is king of what he's doing. You understand me? DS: Yes, I do. How did you get hooked up with the Beatles? LR: Brian Eptstein brought me to Liverpool. The Beatles were there and they wanted to meet me. Brian brought me to them and they begged me to take a picture with them. I took the picture, and



Brian said, "Richard, these guys love you so much. Would you go on stage with them and sing a song ?" So I did, and they sang "Love Me Do" and tore the house up. I threw my shirt in the audience and Paul McCartney gave me his shirt. I put on the shirt and got it soaking with my sweat, but Paul wanted the shirt back to keep for a souvenir. After that, I took them to Hamburg, Germany to the Star Club. There they opened my show every night. Billy Preston was my organist. He was 14 years old at the time. It was really fantastic. I used to sit down and teach Paul different hollers, there's "WOOOOOO --!!," and different little things. They are all beautiful guys. Mick Jagger used to open my show. Also, Jimi Hendrix was my guitarist and James Brown was our vocalist. DS: When was that? LR: A long time ago, when James Brown was my vocalist, before he ever made a

hit record. DS: It's amazing. Here is James Brown with a Top Ten hit and you're coming out with "Great Gosh A' Mighty." LR: It's a good feeling, alhough I never knew that these guys would be as popular as they are today. I'm glad for them, I'm very, very glad for them. DS: Did you have any idea that what you were putting together in the 50's was going to last well over 30 years? LR: No, I didn't. I created the basics that are still being used today. DS: "Lucille" is at the top of my list. LR: That's my favorite also. It's Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen's favorite too. DS: All men with good taste. LR: That's right. DS: It's like one of those songs that will live forever. When the Beatles covered your songs it had to make you feel pretty good. LR: Oh, man, I loved it!

DS: How many hits did you have between '55 and '58? The reason I ask is because 60 Minutes did a story in which you were talking about artists in that era who got taken for a ride, financially LR: Got ripped off! Oh yes, and that is the truth. It wasn't ripped up, it was ripped off.

DS: You didn't know it was happening at the time. LR: No, I didn't. I didn't read and write very well at the time. I was really used. Everybody got a piece of the pie. I

smelled the pie, but didn't taste it. This time I'd like to bake it myself and have some ice cream with it.

DS: Looking back, do you think there was any way it could have been prevented? LR: Yes, a lot of people did prevent it.

Chuck Berry made good money, but the Beatles were ripped off too! Mick Jagger was also ripped off, so it's not just because you're black. There's no color line when it comes to getting ripped off.

DS: That's for sure. You were involved in

some legal suits to get some of this money back, has anything come out of that?

LR: No, that's not over yet. DS: It's still in the courts? LR: Yes. I think I'll make money. If this record does alright, I'll be able to live a little better. Since I had this accident, I

believe I'll be able to get a little comfortable. It will be the first time I've ever made anything in my life.

DS: Music critics have compared some of the big acts of today with you. They have also credited you with originating a lot of their moves and song styling. Who do you consider doing that these days? LR: I believe Prince is a modern day Little Richard. I see some of me in Michael Jackson, and I see a little Jackie Wilson in

Michael. In Prince I see myself, James Brown and Jimi Hendrix. All three derived from me, although Prince said he was not influence by anyone. But we know Prince. (laughs) DS: Who is your favorite contemporary artist today? LR: One of my favorite artists is Michael Jackson, and I love Prince. I think Michael is a genius. Bruce Springsteen is also one of my favorites, I like the energy he uses and I like how he gives it out. I like his delivery. DS: Let's talk about the book you had out a couple of years ago. For people who have not read the book, it's fair to say it's somewhat explicit. You really didn't hold back anything. LR: No. I opened up the bag and poured it all out on the floor. DS: Did you plan to do it that way? LR: No, I didn't plan to. But when we got through talking I had told it all. I realized that I didn't hold anything back, so I just said, "What the heck." DS: What kind of reaction did you get? LR: My momma said, "Well, son, you shouldn't have told everything." My brothers and sisters said, "You always did talk too much." DS: No regrets? LR: No, I don't regret anything. If I had to do it all over again, I'd tell it all again. DS: You did say, "I'm giving up rock 'n' roll and I'm devoting my life to singing for the Lord." In your era, when you first kicked this off, you had the fundamentalists saying, "Rock 'n' roll is

evil and it causes juvenile delinquincy and ruins young people." They're still saying the same thing today. Now, with the P.M.R.C. (Parents Music Resource Center), and the controversy over lyrics, how do you feel about the right wing fundamentalists who are saying the same things aobut rock? LR: I think that if it's something they don't like, they don't want it played, they don't want it bought, and if it's something they don't like, they don't want it taught. I think that a person has to have a positive mind, and to love God first of all. Those people are no criteria. They are not God. They can give you Hell, but they can't give you Heaven. I think that my music is positive. It's giving positive thoughts, positive energies. Today we must show the young man, the woman, black or white, red,

brown, and yellow that you love them, that

you care and that you're concerned about their welfare. DS: Tell us a little bit about how you and Bill Preston got together to write "Great Gosh A' Mighty," and the process that you guys went through in writing the song. LR: "Great Gosh A' Mighty" was an idea by Paul Mazursky. After putting me in

"Down And Out In Beverly Hills," he needed a theme song and asked me if I

would write one. I got in the studio and wrote "Great Gosh A' Mighty." It's been a

long time coming and I've been waiting. It's really called "Great Gosh A' Mighty, A Matter Of Time." Preston came into the studio and I gave him half of the song. I

wrote the song myself, but I gave him half because I wanted him to play on it and be a part of it. Dan Hartman produced it, and it came out fantastically! I just started playing the piano, and the power came. DS: Does this mean Little Richard is

going to be returning to the Rock 'n' Roll scene full time? LR: I'm going to be traveling everywhere, doing what needs to be done. Then young people can take that needle out of their vein and put hope in their brain. I will be doing a few concerts. NBC just offered me a weekly series, I've been offered a lot of movies. Days Of Our Lives, Hill Street Blues, and a lot of commercials are coming after me. I'll be putting out a lot of positive records. DS: So you're looking forward to more acting? LR: Oh, yes. I appreciate all the DJs, record producers, program directors, and all my friends. I thank God for all of you, and I thank God they're playing my records after all these years. It makes me feel like crying. DS: That just about says it all. I just want to close off here by thanking you for all the music, and for creating the art form known as Rock 'n' Roll. When your record first came out, I reviewed it and said, "Thank God real Rock 'n' Roll has returned. It's come back and no one can do it better than Little Richard." LR: Thank you, and I thank you for putting me on the cover of your magazine. Thank you for telling everybody about me, I really appreciate it.

ST. PAT'S SMASH -A -THON KZMO- Califomia, Missouri held a St.

Patrick's Day promotion in conjunction with the local fire department The affair was called the KZ- Country St. Pat's Smash -A -Thon, and people would donate one dollar to take swings at the KZMO Rainbow Car and win prizes. A big donation would allow the person to pick a spot on the car that was smashed, and have the fire department demon- strate the "Jaws Of Life" emergency equipment The grand prizes were hid- den in the car and if the person picked the right spot, they won the prize. The day was a big success and raised a lot of money for emergency equipment for the fire department

PHONE LINE MELT -DOWN K101 in San Francisco told their listeners to "identify our stars and you'll win the 10 -day cruise to the Caribbean to see the big star of 1986... Halley's Comet!" They presented a "Star Cluster" of five stars, which was an audio montage of dia- logue clips from five famous stars in their most popular movie. The giveaway was such a terrific success they experienced "phone line melt- down" at the station.

YOURS FOR A SONG WNEW /New York air personality Dave Herman recently announced that the radio station was very close to playing its 2 millionth record on the air. Once the news had been confirmed, WNEW /FM started a count -down to pinpoint when song number 2 million would hit the turn- table. Throughout the next few weeks, five clues per week will be given out over the air to help listeners correctly pick the exact air personality who will play the song, the date it will be played, the artist and the title of the song. The grand prize winner will receive a 1986 Porshe Targa with $1000 worth of New York State lot- tery tickets in the glove compartment.

A LOST 4 -LEAF CLOVER In another St Patty's Day promotion, listeners of KMTI in Manti, Utah had to listen to the station for clues as to the whereabouts of a lost four -leaf clover.

r

People line up to take shots at the rainbow car during KZMO's "St. Pat's Smash -A- Thon."

The roving clover was known to be somewhere in the United States, and each guess was broadcast over the air. The winning guess received $200, and Stan Eriksen reports that the listeners and air personalities alike had fun with this one.

KXGO's Jim Nelly with the grand prize winners of

the "Great Lip Sync."

THE GREAT LIP SYNC KXGO in Eureka, CA recently held their third annual "Great Lip Sync" contest. Twenty -five acts battled it out for the top prize of $1,000, with the winners doing an excellent lip sync to Starpoint's "Object Of My Desire." The event attracted over 5,000 people and raised $12.000 for the Boys & Girls Club.

LUCKY BABY GETS A NAME V When a woman listener called in to WVBX in Georgetown, SC asking the station to have the listeners help give her baby a lucky name, staff members and morning man Norman Swet got busy. The baby was born four months prema- turely with a collapsed lung, and prayers were offered for the baby's recovery, along with supplies and help in many other ways. A combination of names were chosen, resulting in Joshua Remone Sanchay Grimmage, and latest word has the baby off the respirator and gaining weight.

a D.J. MARATHON KTUF in Kirksville, Missouri and Pepsi combined recently for the 2nd Annual D.J. Marathon for United Cerebral Pal -

sey. "Tuf Guy" Bill Collins stayed on the air for 49 straight hours to raise more than $2,800 from phone pledges, fish bowls, and other fund raisers around the area. 80% of all the money raised will stay in the Kirksville area to help the local branch of UCP.

A STAR A WEEK J.D. Gray at WGUD -Pascagoula, Missis- sippi tells us that they're bringing in a

Grand Ole Opry star each week to perform at a local club called the Sandpiper. This event is also covered by the local TV cable station. WGUD is also sponsoring a local talent show every six weeks. The winners receive a trip for two to Nashville with tickets to the Grand Ole Opry. According to J.D., both events are getting a lot of attention in Pascagoula.

Happy participants of KTUF's D.J. Marathon are: Jeff Allen (P.D.); George Koontz (Pepsi); "Tuff Guy" Bill Collins (mid- days); and Rose Stolzer (G.M.).

GREAT YUPPY PARTY V KGRC in Hannibal, MO threw a "Great Yuppy Party" at the culmination of their month -long "Great Yuppy Contest." Throughout the month, KGRC played the "Baby Boomers" edition of Trivial Pur- suit, and listeners could win the game or a pair of "Yuppy Guppies" as a consola- tion prize. At the party, they gave away over $5,000 in " Yuppy' prizes, including microwave ovens, answering machines, memberships to health clubs, 10 -speed bikes, etc. A good time was had by all Yuppies.

Charlie Daniels works up a sweat in the KNIX Fitness Center, while M.D. Doug Brannan makes sure Charlie doesn't overdo.

SHAPE UP WITH KNIX o KNIX in Phoenix is inviting touring country artists to work off "On- The -Road- Again- Stress" at its employee fitness center. Country artists who have already visited the center include Lee Green- wood, Charlie Daniels, Charley Pride, Eddy Raven, Earl Thomas Conley, Keith Stegall, andBill Anderson. KNIX has had excellent response to the extensive wor- kout center since it opened last August. Employees use the center before and after work, nights, and weekends. While General Manager Michael Owens says

that most KNIX staffers are definitely taking advantage of the facility, it looks like most country artists passing through Phoenix are taking advantage of it too.

A BIT O' THE GREEN WXTU helped make Philadelphia green this past St. Patty's Day by passing out 1,000 green carnations to listeners downtown to celebrate the day. WXTU stickers were attached to the stems of the flowers. It was a great word -of- mouth promotion, and it received a lot of television coverage.

GAVIN ALBUM FRONTLINE

ROLLING STONES JULIAN LENNON

"Band Of The Hand" -Bob Dylan /TP &H (MCA)

Just the first (and hopefully not the last) recorded spinoff from Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and the Heartbreakers, who have been tearing it up in Japan and Europe (Stevie Nicks, risking deportation because of visa/permit problems, joined them in Australia). "Band Of The Hand" comes from the Michael Mann movie of the same name. Director Mann will always be immortalized by THIEF, James Caan's last great flick, especially the scene where Caan torches the enemy to the strains of Tangerine Dream.

Like A ock -Bob Seger (Capitol)

Of all the trax on LIKE A ROCK, the most revealing is the title track. Within the verse is a questioning, semi -broken man. Consequently this track becomes the most powerful and most emotionally stirring song out of all nine tracks. "Like A Rock" also sets the tone lyrically, as Seger seems to be picking up the pieces, attempting to re -enter the mainstream of productivity. Three years ago Seger left the center stage after a solid number one album. LIKE A ROCK marks his return, not as a dramatic splash, but more like an observation of life through the eyes of a contemplative loner.

BOB SEGER THE CALL

Please -Pet Shop Boys (EMI)

A great week for modern mainstream sounds. Expect to see some fast retail action on Pet Shop Boys much like the reaction to the PRETTY IN PINK soundtrack. PSB should overlap between both the Alternative sophisticate and the teenaged Molly Ringwald type of teen buyer that relates to this kind of fresh diverstion. The Pet Shop Boys currently have one of the fastest breaking records inside The Gavin Report pages. Owners of this LP will also have access to "Opportunities ", the second UK single. Then it's on to "Love Comes Quickly ".

Waves- Katrina & the Waves (Capitol)

A good way to lick the sophomore blues ailing lots and lots of newly successful bands is to cull that major label debut from a couple of previous independent or imported releases. That's what Katrina and her Waves did and that's probably why WAVES is so great. It's actually their fourth LP and it's an excellent cache of rockin' numbers utilizing the best-techniques of 70's type rock n roll. There's real songs, real drums, real guitars and real cool sound. Shame on me. I was expecting just another follow -up. Instead, WAVES truly made some. Dig in. RIDING SHOTGUN/TEARS FOR ME/IS THAT IT.

HUSKER DU RAIN PARADE

In Visible Silence -Art Of Noise (Chrysalis)

I mistakenly used to assume that Art Of Noise was solely a ZTT Trevor Horn brainstorm. Not so.This new collection of digitally sampled beatbox mania contains "Legs ", "Peter Gunn ", and "Paranoimia ", three trax that have already or will receive outlaw airplay from radio innovators in the Album /Alternative, Urban, and maybe even Top Forty arena. Art Of Noise are two guys and a gal. That's them in the rainstorm on the inside sleeve.

"Don't Come To Me" -Bobby Barth (Atco)

Don't overlook Bobby Barth's "Don't Come To Me ". It's a backstreet soul searcher that stands up on its own as a fine radio song.

Mothers Talk -Tears For Fears (Mercury) They oughta call this the "facelift mix " --a little nip here, a tuck there. What you've got is yet another hit off of one of last year's biggest LPs. The remix results are surprisingly vibrant, just like new. Now let's work back to the first LP. There's a couple of radio jems that could keep TFF on vacation all through 86. KZ

MOST ADDED 1. "BE GOOD TO YOURSELF" -

JOURNEY (COLUMBIA -12 ") 2. "MOTHERS TALK" -TEARS FOR

FEARS (MERCURY -12 ")

MY 2C Well it didn't take long. The ROLLING STONES have been narrowed down to just four main trax, although there is airplay on a myriad of nasty nasty ditties. JULIAN LENNON is gaining in

a very big way, mostly because of his appeal to all different Album Radio stations, whether they be rockers or adult oriented or Top Fortyish in

nature. The kid certainly has arrived. VAN HALEN is a barnburner at #7. SAMMY HAGAR seems to do no wrong with the dedicated core that propel) VAN HALEN to the heights. Pretty soon all the references to DAVID LEE ROTH will be moot, that is

until DAVID LEE unleases a retaliatory assault. THE CALL woke up and smelt the coffee by repenetrating the Top Ten. MIKE AND THE MECHANICS did a quick reversal as well. GRAHAM NASH surprised me with a quick bee -line to #14. Another old timer, JOE COCKER is right on GRAHAM's tail. JOE JACKSON earned a well deserved CERTIFIED status, as did JOURNEY, which was this week's MOST ADDED. TEARS FOR FEARS have struck a responsive chord. This track, though from 1985's hit album, has managed to resemble the 37

SPOTLIGHT LPAIll Hyacinth Girl/Wait Till The Morning - WINTER HOURS (Link) Winter Hours have picked up where their fine debut record left off, with gentle and delicate songs. The arrangements are classic and aren't overblown with unnecessary instruments or vocals. The electronic media is most effective when it

touches our emotions and their songs have a vulnerable element that reaches deep inside and illicits those emotional responses. Watch out for Winter Hours in 1986! For a copy please phone Advanced Alternative Media @ 212- 334 -9556. Right As Rain/W. U.S.A./Arrogance /Real Stories -THE NEIGHBORHOODS (Restless) In 1980, The Neighborhoods released a brilliant single on Ace Of Hearts called "Prettiest Girl ". The future looked promising, but then they disbanded. Six years after that release, they're back with two of the three orginal members, lead singer and songwriter David Minehan and drummer Mike Quaglia. The melodic chords and tasteful vocals separate The Neighborhoods from your typical garage rock bands. Minehan's expansive guitar leads fill out his songs to the perimeter. Besides, any band that has their album cover photographed in Fenway Park is okay by me. Maryann Earl is

the person to call @ 213 -640 -6869. Peter 39 the GAVIN REPORT /April 4. 198E

It looks like TANYA TUCKER is about to become reacquainted with the top of the chart. She makes another hefty jump this week, and is already charted Top Ten at KYYX,KRKT, KZMO, KQKD,KQBR,WSKR,WQSB,WMMG, WMAZ, KXKZ,etc. GEORGE GORDON at WFTP -Ft.Pierce sez that TANYA's LP is a big seller in Florida. KEITH WHITLEY continues to make steady strides up the chart. His Hit Factor moves from 31% to 51% this week and DAN OLSEN from WXYQ- Stevens Point reports that KEITH is the second highest record in sales locally. Last week's Certified, the FORESTER SISTERS were our biggest movers again this week, with jumps like 30 -22 at KXLE -Ellensburg, 38 -28 at KTDO- Toledo, 32 -18 at KGVO -Missoula, 34 -24 at KFEQ- St.Joseph, 28 -19 at KZPR- Minot, 26 -17 at KKAA- Aberdeen, 29 -20 at WEYY -Talladega

A new entry in our Most Added category this week is SOUTHERN PACIFIC with 43 adds. RICK ROBINSON at WEYY reports unreal requests after only three days of airplay. The other new entry in the Most Added category is LEE GREENWOOD with 47 adds and reports of major request action from JIM PRUETT at WAAX in Gadsden. LARRY HYATT at KJIN in Houma is playing "Under The Boardwalk ", the flip side of JOHN COUGAR's "R.O.C.K. In The USA ", and is getting a lot of good response to it. KASC's ANTHONY KEITH reports that the most popular LP cut in Abbeville these days is EMMYLOU HARRIS' "Lacassine Special"

Our sources at Warner Bros. tell us that the "A" side of the new RANDY TRAVIS single is "On The Other Hand ". They also say an LP is in the works and should be on the way soon.

For those of you who weren't at the Country Music Seminar, here are some more interesting facts from the Landsman- Webster study of Country radio listeners... *Country is second only to A/C

in terms of most listened to of 13 total radio formats.

*Country music reaches over one - sixth of the American public daily.

*Country radio listenership is up 33% from last year and 60% from five years ago.

P.O. NOTEBOOK by Eric Norberg

MORE ON CHARLES OSGOOD by Eric Norberg

Last week I reprinted CBS Newsman Osgood's rhyme about his love affair with radio, despite his regular appearances each weekend on CBS television network news. Charles was the keynote speaker at the first annual Gavin Seminar in San Francisco, performing admirably what a keynote speaker is supposed to do- entertain, inform, and inspire. Osgood pointed out that although the majority of the people attending the seminar were primarily involved in other aspects of radio than news, there are important parallels to be found. The central point -to touch people with what you do with this magic medium.

Osgood reminded us never to elevate ourselves above our listener. He commented that people expect newspeople to understand more than they really do about what goes on in the world, and he quoted the late Edward R. Murrow: "Just because your voice is amplified from one end of the country to the other doesn't mean you have more wisdom than when your voice only reached form one end of the bar to the other." It applies equally to radio personalities -when you come to think of yourself as a star, you are losing your relatability to your audience. In radio, there are no stars -only friends.

In making his point, Charles observed that his background was in broadcast management, TV and radio, and not in news. When he entered news, he had not done or studied it before, just falling into it in New York, first at ABC, and then at CBS. that gave him a special, natural, human viewpoint of what he was doing. He recalled that one of his first news assignments was to cover an apartment fire in New York City. He saw the other reporters flock around the Fire Chief to get statistics on damage, responding units, number of alarms, etc., and he reflected

that this was useless information: First because the fire was not out yet, and any figures would necessarily be wrong; and second and worse, "they were missing the story" ... The smell of the burning building, the icicles on the structure from the water freezing on impact in the bitter cold, the people huddling in the street in bathrobes, watching their possessions go up in smoke.

"You have to really touch people, not just spit out information," he told us. "You have to tell about that fire the way you would tell your spouse or friends -the average person would tell many things about it that the average radio person would leave out .... Sometimes in the name of professionalism we screen out the very best stuff. Maintain that sense of innocence -almost a childlike wonder." He added, "You cannot possibly contact that listener with your news, music, programming, unless you fee it yourself." He urged us to know what others have done, use fully information available to you, but don't copy others -adapt the concepts to what you feel, what you know is right for your station.

Those who do that will be the innovators without intending to be, the ones who excite a staff into welding their efforts into the achievement of a common objective.

It's not only great fun. It's the way to win!

April 4, 1986/rhe GAVIN REPORT 50



"URBANIZING" Hof clocks, computers, cards systems

... they're all designed to give programmers certain advantages by controlling the elements that make some radio stations win and others lose. The unending change has characterized radio programming in the last few years has accelerated in 1986 to an all time high. Competition, dramatically increased by a long economic recession which arrested the growth of advertising budgets, has further fragmented radio formats, particularly black/urban formatted stations in major and medium markets. At the same time, it has brought a new clarity to radio programming (by the numbers). With stations more keenly defining their target audiences and more carefully adjusting their overall sound to fit within, yet stand out among the many other sounds that now serve their markets, the beat goes on. Growth of the black and urban contemporary formats has brought new prominence to black radio, which shares much of its music and its artists with Top -40 and even Adult Contemporary stations.

OLD MEDIUM NEW TRICKS There has been a change both in- the -air and on -the -air for many black and urban radio stations in the 80's. Among the most significant changes has been staying visible and sounding distinctive among a variety of competitors, many playing the same kinds of music.

One of the new tricks for the old medium involves what happens when the average major market urban station (outside of morning drive) usually stops for a commercial cluster no more than 3 times an hour.

For those stations that schedule their commercial stop -sets so as to take full advantage of basic quarter -hour maintenance, the 3 times they stop the segues are about :25, :35, and :55. This, of course , will vary depending on the station, the number of commercials and the placement of

"RE- INVENTING THE WHEEL" by Jerry Boulding

news and other involvement elements. Sometimes stop -sets are programmed according to the production value of the spots (i.e. voice only, followed by voice -over- music, followed by the jingle or the station's contest promo etc.) Stops sets are typically two to two and a half minutes in length, though some stations that do extended sweeps, also do extended stop -sets. Typically, jocks come out of the music and into a stop set with comments,artists and /or title information, congratulations to contest winners, or a live promo. They come out of a stop -set with weather twice an hour and a short PSA once an hour, usually in the :35 set, if there is a stop scheduled there. We have found that systems for catogorizing titles have varied widely since the invention of the clock. Programmers and consultants have used the records type of appeal, length, tempo and artist's type (male vocal,female vocal, group, intrumental), among other things. The most successful general approach that has hit recently is catogorizing by strengh. Some of the other factors are relevant in perfecting music balance, but not as a primary determinant. The fact that a song is a medium, up -tempo female vocal like ,

Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know "

is irrelevant for determining its rotation. What is most important is the audience's acceptance of that song at that time.

"WHERE'S THE BEEF ?" When some music directors, in an attempt at counter -programming, try to figure out the competition, they often begin with the assumption that the categories are tied to specific points in the hour and that the categories are related to the strength (or age) of a song. Some stations may have only one basic clock used for all hours, or they may have a different clock for every hour of the day and even a different clock system for the weekends. Naturally, the greater the consistency, the easier it is to decipher a clock.

I put together one of many systems I've

used successfully over the years. In

this clock, the structure is not based on the hour. The clock is flexible and works well in most competitive situations. In this case the air talent is instructed to start his or her shift with an 18 -24 up -tempo or medium tempo male song. Then this is followed through the rest of the categories until he /she gets to the last slot and then starts all over again. If the jock completed a shift with number 16, the first song the next day will be number 17. The consistency as you will discover in this "wheel" is difficult to find unless you really know what you're looking for.

I have often suggested that the simpler the format the easier it is to understand and to execute. The more difficult the format and the clock or wheel, the easier it is to make a mistake and the tougher it is to correct. This clock takes full advantage of the power in the goldens and both long -term and short-term re- currents. Any new music would have to fit into one of the categories indicated. In case there was doubt, according to the way this format clock is set up, the program and /or music director's judgement is key. Often this judgement is influenced by the results of their research. Big wheel keeps turning.

URBAN CONTEMPORARY SUMMARY We're going back to love songs now that it's spring and our songwriters have become sentimen- tal in anticipation of its coming. Therefore, WHITNEY HOUSTON's "Greatest Love Of All" and ATLANTIC STARR's "If Your Heart Isn't In It" make the top picks for Certified. It was certainly a terrific week for hearts - PHILIP BAILEY's "State Of The Heart" gets the Most Added slot, along with MORRIS DAY. And I won't get hopelessly mushy and point out that the Pop Crossover choice is by THE JETS - aptly called "Crush On You ". The stations that have picked this up and are giving it decent airplay are helping to cross it over to the Top 40's in

their markets. Our Hit Factor for THE JETS is 81$ and climbing. I had a call from Roshon Vance at WOWI in Norfolk, who is now planning a promotion honoring "The Color Purple ". It will be a "Purple Thursday" happening on April 24th and he's encouraging other stations to participate. Listeners will be wearing purple on that day - even coming by the station to pick up a purple T -shirt or purple ribbon for their cars and the entire event will culminate with a Purple Party at a local nightclub. So far he's talked to Tony Dean at WWDM, Lynn Tolliver at WZAK, Steve Crumbley at WPLZ, K.C. Jones at WVKO, and others to call each other while on the air

and do a live plug for the attempt to join stations in the promotion. He suggests possible tie -ins with local theaters showing the movie and maybe even interviews with cast members of the movie or who participated in the music. Hopes are that this will, in at least one way, ease the blow of the results of the recent awards. As a matter of fact, THE GAVIN INTERVIEW in next week's issue is none other than Quincy Jones, who will also be honored in New York on April 19th by the T.J. Martel Foundation. Our condolences go to the families of Lewis Poag, co -owner and GM

of WQMG in Greensboro, NC, and Kelly Isley of the Isley Brothers, who both passed away this week.

April II, /986/the GAVIN REPORT 56



the GAVIN REPORT GAVE SHOLIN'S ß0N FELL'S Personal Picks - SINGLES Personal Picks - ALBUMS

THE DREAM ACADEMY - The Love Parade (Reprise /W.B.) Sade and The Thompson Twins have some company. Move over for The Dream Academy, who have passed the test of following up a hit with a tune that tops or at the least, equals, "Life In A Northern Town ". Tailor made to match those Miami Vice pastels.

BILLY OCEAN -There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)(Jive /Arista) Soft and sweet or energized, Billy Ocean is an excellent example of what a

vocalist's originality can do to a song. Similar to Whitney Houston's first two hits in that it's got that feel of the great R &B ballads of the mid -60's.

HEART - Nothin' At All (Capitol) While Ocean slows things down, Heart comes out rockin' harder than they have in 3 previous smash singles. Great to hear 'em sounding so good again.

MODELS - Out Of Mind Out Of Sight (Geffen) From the same manager who gave us INXS comes a band who have the goods to construct a Top 40/ Album Radio following. The glue that holds The Models' debut single together is that chorus which sticks to the brain.

Special Mention:

VOICES OF AMERICA - Hands Across America (EMI Am.) Released last week and played coast to coast to help kick off the May 25th event being co- ordinated by Ken Kragen. Proceeds go to the millions of homeless and hungry in the U.S.A.

57 the GAVIN REPORT /Apri/ II, /986

Bob Seger "Like A Rock" (Capitol) Nothing's trivial with Mr.Seger. His lyric is

trouble brewin', heartbreak's comin' and mama's leavin'. His AMERICAN STORM is an approaching blizzard of snow, devastating in its potential to suffocate a spirit. LIKE A ROCK is a beautiful first person accounting of a man, twenty years older than his innocent years when his walk had purpose and the sun was always shining. Don't miss the great guitar work by Rick Vito on this track. Next comes the track MIAMI which creates the vision of a skyline as seen from the bow of a boatload of refugees. TIGHTROPE and IT'S YOU carry side two with their respective energy and sentimentality. You can't teach an old dog new tricks and his style is "no growth ", but at his best he leaves little to be desired.

Pet Shop Boys "Please" (EMI America) Digitally dazzling, electrically theatric,

marvelously mod. Progressive in its style, yet accessible through warm chords and less than frantic rhythms. Their success in Europe has been exceptional with three singles already. Our first domestic sampling came with WEST END GIRLS, a Ying /Yang, opposites attract, bitter /sweet smash. The lad's affected accents sound properly English, as they rap -up a cool tune. Beyond the obvious though, are equally intriguing and flagrant tracks like TWO DIVIDED BY ZERO, OPPORTUNITIES, LOVE COMES QUICKLY and SUBURBIA. Enjoy!
