INDUSTRY WEEKLY

Vol. 2 - No. 9 Week of October 26th, 1964

CANADA'S MUSIC HOPWhile ABC-TV wallows in the success

of "Shin Dig" their first "live networkteen TV show, Canada goes into its sec-ond series of "Music Hop" on CBC-TV.

Youthful bustling Stan Jacobson, andwriter Les Pouliot began "Music Hop lastseason as an experiment, and apparentlythe formula was not only the forerunner ofmore teen TV to come, but has promptedCanada's CBC to extend the weekly halfhour to five half hours. One half hour eachweekday will originate from differentpoints from coast to coast in Canada. Theteen artist in Canada has never had it sogood.

This series of shows promises to giveexposure and camera experience to manyyoung hopefuls and bring attention to ourrecording artists on a national scale.Jacobson has already brought young per-sonalities like The Rhythm Rockers, The

Typical of the large scale production ofMusic Hop is this setting for the Girlfriendswho are seen weekly singing and backingother artists.

Girlfriends, Robbie Lane, Jayson King,Shirley Matthews, Lynda Lane, SandySelsie, Larry Lee and many others to theattention of young Canada. Often, oldtroupers like Pat Hervey, Bobby Curtola,Gord Lightfoot, and Pierre Lalonde haveappeared to perform their new records.While radio basked in the glory of Ameri-can and British artists, TV was spear-heading a movement to develop new talent(for their medium) that would someday beat hand.

Jacobson and Pouliot both very inter-ested in the Canadian scene, believe inthe talent that is at our doorstep and havegained the respect of the music industry.

Music Hop has done more than any pre-vious effort to boost Canadian talent andemploy Canadians in Canada.

In its earliest stages, selling the ideathe show was one of the hardest things todo. A full scale production aimed at theteenager was something the CBC hadnever tried before, and many were reluct-ant to agree to spending the money.Jacobson will himself admit that he was alittle optimistic at first and felt that the

Alex Trebec, Music Hop host seen with TheChummingbirds, Pierre Lalonde, and MarieAndre with two of the Girlfriends.

Toronto area could not furnish him withenough talent to keep the show interestingbut now feels that with the amount of goodtalent he has found in Toronto he couldproduce the five half hours right in Toronto.

The latter part of last season Jacobsonscreened Music Hop for the ABC-TV net-work and interest ran very high even tothe point that purchase was discussed.Their only demand was that the show origi-nate from New York. Jacobson stood hisground and insisted that the show remainin Canada and that he would use oneAmerican artist each week. This wasn'tsatisfactory so the idea was dropped. Theidea of a teen type TV show was fosteredhowever as evidenced by the highly suc-cessful "Shin Dig".

09-r&le. ./The UK is sure making hay while they sit on top of the

music heap. Shin Dig is a new and exciting American teen TVshow and who has the first LP with the tie-in? Youguessed it. The Shadows, popular English group have re-leased a new LP titled "Shin Dig" (Capitol) and two cutsare being rushed out on a single "Don't It Make You FeelGood" f/s "That's The Way It Goes". The English sound isone that record producers everywhere are striving to accomp-lish. It was once said "The Germans discover it, theAmericans mass produce it and the English perfect it."Sounds like the record business.

The Canadian Sound (we might as well join the club)ismaking inroads to the American market. Appearing on MusicBusiness Top 100 this week is "Unless You Care" by TerryBlack as No. 73 with a red arrow. "Shake Hands" by theRockatones on Melbourne has been picked as a "Best Bet"in Cashbox.

The COetriert ("From Sea To Sea" on RCA Victor) arehaving a busy time with appearances. They will be at theGuelph Agricultural College on Oct. 16 and at the BrockvilleCivic Auditorium on Oct. 30. This same date they will beseen on the CBC-TV show "A La Carte" out of Toronto.Gale Garnett appears for one week commencing Oct. 14 at thePurple Onion in Toronto. Arthur Fiedler who liked the Beat-les' material so much he recorded an LP of their hits with theBoston Pop Ork will be appearing with the Toronto SymphonyOrk Nov. 17. Rita Pavone will make a personal anpearancein Montreal Oct. 24 and in Toronto Oct. 25. That's quite abundle of news from Mike Doyle of Victor. Thanks Mike. Bythe way watch out for Lorne Greene with his newest "Ringo".Could be a hot one.

The Travellers who appeared at a command performanceduring the Queen's recent visit, impressed the Duke suffici-ently enough for him to remark that they should make a tripto England. What better recommendation could you have?Latest reports have it that the Travellers will leave forEngland shortly and that their popularity has gone on beforethem. So watch out for big things to come from the Travellers.Their latest LP has been well received but now that Royaltyis interested it may sound that much better. It's on ColumbiaFL 310.

Hal Ross of London Records looks for big things to hap-pen with a new group from Masena N.Y. (a suburb of easternOntario) Tommy Dishaw and the Panthers with their single onLondon "Ain't Gonna Bother You No More". Hal is also veryenthusiastic over a French Canadian turned English ...Donald Lautrec who recorded "The Ska" a fifty thousandseller, debuts in English with a Platter's hit "I'm Sorry"f/s "What To Do With Laurie". New label is Jupiter handledby London.

Ed Lawson, Ontario Promo topper for Quality reportsgood reaction on the new Wes Dakus' single "Las VegasScene". This could be one of the better instrumentals of theyear.

My cleaning lady left a message that "High Noon hadcalled." It took all morning before I found out that HaroldMoon had called. (My cleaning lady also writes in_brokenEnglish).

Sparton Records is rushing a release written by JohnnyCowell "Winds of Chance" on which Johnny is featured onthe trumpet f/s "Eternal Flame". Johnny is at the piano onthis one. "Eternal Flame" was written to commemorate thedeath of President Kennedy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BELIEVING IN THE INDUSTRY:Much has been written about our music industry, many writ-ers offer constructive criticism. A few critics have taken onthe task of attempting to pull the rug out from under our entireindustry. Any person or persons representing any company orradio station must be responsible in their comments andviews. Any irresponsible writing by these representativescan therefore be construed as being a part of the company'sor station's po.icy.NATIONAL PRIDE should be a natural commodity. Whatbetter way can we show our gratitude? Newspaper columnistsfor the most part are responsible writers and usually takeevery opportunity to "hype" our national image. Too oftenradio stations are interested only in the region serviced bytheir signal. "We dig Toronto", or "We love Vancouver", or"Alberta is the greatest" or "Know Quebec better it's goodfor you". How about boosting Canada. It's good for you.Regionalism can breed narrow-mindedness whereas a nation-alistic approach by broadcasters could stimulate a feeling ofnational pride that is lacking in this country.

ON THE

AIR

Phyllis Marshall Day was celebrated in Montreal byCJAD, October 15, and at the same time we learned thatCKEY Toronto had picked Phyllis' new LP "That GirlPhyllis Marshall" (Columbia) as their album of the week.

Bruce Ruggles PD at CFCH North Bay writes to fillus in on a new Canadian talent feature beginning Oct. 26.The half hour show will be titled "Canadiana". This newshow will be hosted by Gary Stevens 8.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m.Monday through Thursday, featuring Canadian pops andcountry. Bruce has always been a great booster of Canadiantalent and this show is another example of his dedication.

Red Robinson C -FUN Vancouver notes the Classics'new record is a twin pick hit in Vancouver and looks likeit could be bigger than their first release "Aces High". TheWinmen from Winfield B.C. have a top seller with "NickelPiece of Candy". The Chessmen, another popular westcoast group will soon be showing with a release on London"Mustang". Terry Black, of course, is still doing well with"Unless You Care" (Arc). Terry no longer belongs exclu-sively to British Columbia, he's got North America in hishands.

Nice to hear from George Cawdry, Jr. PD at CKCM,Grand Falls, Newfoundland. George is no stranger to UpperCanada, having been morning man at CFGM, Richmond Hill.

JOHN BASSET JR. Editor of "After Four" a Toronto Tele-gram supplement has given permission to RPM to reprintthe following article written by Bob McAdory, dealing withCanadian singles. The article appeared Thursday, October1, 1964.

"GARBAGE! THAT'S WHAT THEY'D HAVE ME PLAY - OUTSIDE CANADA AND UNITED STATESPURE GARBAGE. Canadian disc jockeys are getting a littletired of the wailing, whining and moaning of record compan-ies that they are not promoting Canadian talent.

I don't think there's a deejay in this country whowouldn't give preference to a Canadian artist PROVIDINGthat the record is good. Good enough to compete with any-thing that's produced anywhere. Unfortunately, this rarelyhappens. You'd be amazed at some of the unbelievablegarbage that is produced in this country.ACCUSED - It doesn't get on the air, and right away we'reaccused of 'Not having faith in Canadian talent' (This istalent?).

Many Canadian recording artists I count among myclosest buddies, but if the record doesn't come up to scratch,I don't believe in kidding them about it.

If there's any doubt, the listeners have the final de-cision. Nothing makes disc jockeys happier than to see aCanadian artist 'make it' with a hit record.

Here are some recent releases that could possibly doit. It's up to you

Feel So Pretty, by Shirley Matthews.Sneakin' Around, by the Stratotones.Don't Make A Fool Of Me by Little Caesar & the ConsulsAnd look for a couple of new ones by Ronnie Hawkins

and Robbie Lane. Incidentally, I wish Bobby Curtola wouldget off the 'sweet sound' kick and record a real rocker. Ifyou've ever seen Bobby do R & B material on stage, you'llknow how well he handles it.

International ReportDATELINE NEW YORK by Harriet Wasser

The Skunks recently appeared in a Greenwich Villageclub with Brian Hyland. They were billed as Canada'sanswer to the Beatles.

The Four Seasons were in town long enough to cuttheir next hit. It is called "Big Man in Town" and will hereleased momentarily. In the meantime the HollyridgeStrings album of the Four Seasons' hits is rapidly climbingthe charts.

Burt Bacharach's newest discovery is a singer namedGeorge McCannon. George recently completed a Dick Clarktour and will record in the near future. Talking about Burt,Dionne Warwick has a single out on a song called "PeachOut For Me" which was recorded a year ago by Lou John-son and made chart noise then. This new version could go"Top 10".

England's Andrew Oldham made a quick trip to NewYork, to help map out a forthcoming tour for the RollingStones. The boys have a new record "Time Is On My Side".When I mentioned to Andrew that the record did not have theidentifiable English sound, he said, "I like American re-cords!"

As a result of the play "Automatic Reaction" by Ninoand the Ebb Tides is getting up in Canada, Amy Records isstarting to break the record in the US.

Bobby Darin fans are in for a treat. On his new album,he is reunited with Richard Wess. It contains recent stan-dard type ballads. The name on the cover is "From HelloDolly to Good Bye Charlie".

Breaking big on the charts is "Listen Lonely Girl" byJohnny Mathis (Mercury). The song was written by BobbyScott who wrote "A Taste Of Honey".

It seems that every time Shirley Harmer appears ontelevision she gets better. She was outstanding when sheguested on the Johnny Carson Show.

Robert Goulet did an outstanding acting job on a recentKraft Suspense Theatre. He is regarded by most Americansas Canadian although he was born in the US. It looks likeMr. Goulet will have his first chart record judging from thesales of his Columbia disc "My Love Forgive Me".

There is definite chart action on this record. Walt tellsme Canadian charts are already showing listings.

Adam Faith had planned to record in N.Y. when he wassuddenly called back to England. I wonder if the ads in theLondon trades would have read "Recorded in America" justas the ads for Brenda Lee's new record say "Recorded inEngland". "Is It True" is as English a record as you'llhear and it looks like a monster for Brenda.

Bernie Wayne, new man in charge at 20th Century couldtake this company to the top.

MAN of the

WEEK

ARC"

COLLINS

Music Man, Art Collins is probably the most importantprogrammer of Good Music in Canada. As header of CFRB'simpressive record library (Chief Librarian) Art and his staffof three program the music that the largest segment of Cana-da's most densely populated area listen to.

Art is no overnight wonder in the music business, buthas instead progressively accumulated a great knowledge ofthe business. As early as in his teens, Art was responsiblefor the first sound systems for teen dances in Canada whichlater led to CNE teen dances, and started Art in the musicbusiness. In 1948, Art joined the staff of CKEY's musiclibrary (at that time programming big bands and the contem-porary music of post world war two) then toCHUM in '51,where Art collected one of Canada's most impressive lib-raries of recorded music. At CHUM he instigated the programPromenade Under the Stars which eventually he announcedand operated. In '56 Art joined CFCF in Montreal. There toohe accumulated a vast library which was later destroyed byfire. In '57 he joined CFRB to program Canada's evergreenradio station.

In his early thirties, Art is an avid sports car enthusiastpresently more interested in cycling. In '62 he owned one ofthe first Honda's in Canada. Presently his BMW is shownonce a year at the CNE and for the past three years has wona trophy each year.

Art is a devotee of Canadian talent both on records andthe Canadian Talent Library.

George Wilson of CKFH informs us of a new version of"The King & I" on RCA Victor. This is from the LincolnCentre in New York with Rise Stevens and Darren McGavin.George also recommends the new double album of "RogerWilliams At Town Hall" on Kapp.

Art Collins at CFRB suggests you give a listen to "NoArms Can Ever Hold You" (Decca) by Georgie Shaw and"Who Can I Turn To" by Tony Bennet and "My Love For-give Me" by Robert Goulet both on Columbia. Art was veryimpressed with an album from Denmark "The Svend SaabyChoir singing Great American Standards". This LP wasrecorded in Germany on the Ariola label and is distributedin Canada through Canada Record Sales. Recommended cutsare "Carioca", "Lady Is A Tramp" and "In The Still OfThe Night". A very interesting LP from Capitol is "TheThree D's (New Dimension in Folk Songs)" This is a trioof men putting the works of Poe, Kipling, Tennyson andothers to folk music. For classical listening Art is veryimpressed with the Deutsche Grammophone release ofTchaikovsky Sixth Symphony by the Berlin PhilharmonicOrk conducted by Herbert Von Karajan. The Third movementis very exciting.

Helen Hatton at CHUM -FM is very excited over thenew London release of "Bach's Harpsicord Concertos byGeorge Malcolm. Mr. Malcolm is using the newly developedGoff Harpsicord. Thomas Goff's improvements have allowedfor more speed and with extra peddles (there are five) is nowcapable of extra swells.

Helen informs us that Victor has just released "TheSongs of Giuseppe Verdi" performed by Lica Albanese.Angel has released "The Verdi Requiem" conducted byCarlo Maria Giulini. Critics hail this LP as "the recordingof a lifetime". Another London release that impressed Helenis "Benjamin Britten's Serenade for Tenor Horn and Strings"with Peter Pears as soloist. Mr. Pears will be appearing withthe Toronto Symphony Orchestra in November at which timethey will perform the "War Requiem". CHUM -FM will airthis complete work the Sunday before the performance.Pierre Monteux made only one recording with his son Claude(a noted flautist) and London has just released this alreadyacclaimed LP "The Mozart Flute Concerto No. 2 in D". ThisLP also includes Ballet numbers by Gluck.

If you are familiar with Mahler then you will be mostinterested and pleased with his Symphony No.1 performedby the London Symphony Ork conducted by Georg Solti onLondon. Another beautiful London release is "The Ariasof Julius Caesar (Handel)" performed by the very popularJoan Sutherland supported by Marilyn Horne and MonicaSinclair, Margreta Elkins, Richard Conrad with RichardBonynge conducting the New Symphony Ork on London.
