A&R Director Steve Clark andCal Carter, Vee-Jay's Chicago -

based A&R Vice President.

HOLLYWOOD - In a coun-try where prosperity is takenfor granted, and in a businesswhere Horatio Alger storiesare commonplace, it is difficultto find a success story that isunique enough to rate specialnotice and even more difficultto find one that stirs the imag-ination. Yet, when RecordWorld talked with Randy Wood,President of Vee-Jay Records,and Executive Vice PresidentJay Lasker, it was hard to stopwriting because of the manyexciting stories they were tell-ing about this company thatonly one year ago was in direstraits.

The beginning and early suc-cesses of Vee-Jay Records arealso of interest if one is to getthe complete picture of thecompany and fully appreciatethe magnitude of their recentadvancements. In 1951, Vivianand Jimmy Bracken decided toenter the record business byrecording the rhythm and bluesand gospel songs the customersof their Gary, Ind., record storehad been asking for. Theynamed the label after theirown initials, Vee-Jay.

During the first 10 years ofits existence Vee-Jay grewsteadily with consistent salesin the gospel and blues fields,and by 1961 they were able toboast perhaps the largest cata-log of major artists in thisfield.

In 1961, the company signedits first white artists, The FourSeasons. That was also theyear Vee-Jay had its first mil-lion dollar gross. During thefollowing two years, with morewhite artists on the label, andthe integration of some whitestaff members, the companytripled its gross to four millionin 1963.

Expansion also brought se-vere financial strain. Despiteits impressive grosses, the com-pany was heavily in debt andwas unable to pay its astro-nomical production, distribu-tion and pressing bills.

It was at this time that 37 -year -old Randy Wood was made

Jay Lasker, Steve Clari., Randy Wood, Mark- Unbeatable Vee-Jay Records leaders.

Sands

President of Vee-Jay, andBracken and Wood, determinedto save the company, broughtin Jay Lasker and financialwizard Mark Sands. The newlyformed executive combineworked out the financial detailswhich staved off disaster andbegan a new period of growth.

LA, Chi. NY CommutersThat growth was fantastic -

an almost unbelieveable re-covery in an industry fraughtwith financial peril. With Sandsdeftly manipulating the highlycomplicated monetary difficul-ties, a West Coast team of ap-proximately 12 individuals lit-erally commuted daily betweenLos Angeles, Chicago and NewYork. Twenty -four-hour workdays were not unusual, andmeetings frequently took place

in all three cities in less thantwo days.

The efforts of this teamwere almost inhuman, but to-day they are only a part ofthe many successes that haveplaced Vee-Jay among the top10 major record producers,distributing records under fivedifferent labels with offices allover the world and a staff of76 in its busy West Hollywoodheadquarters.

Wood and Lasker give agreat deal of credit for theirfinancial success to the abilityof Mark Sands; but Wood hasalso stated, "When you put allthese factors together they maylook great, but we do not dis-count luck. Who would havethought The Beatles would beso successful?"

In addition to luck (and Vee-

Jay's catalog), executive imag-ination and skill of the youngrecord men who run the com-pany's day-to-day operationhave played an important rolein the miraculous success storyof Vee-Jay. Each member of"the team" is a veteran of thebusiness and a specialist in hisfield. Lasker is 39, and duringhis 19 years in the recordingbusiness has held such toppositions as National SalesManager for Reprise and Kapp.Thirty -year -old Steve Clark,recently appointed head of thecompany's Tollie label, joinedVee-Jay's A & R departmentfive years ago to work withCalvin Carter. About Carter,Lasker says "Cal has single-handedly come up with morehits than almost any other manin the business."

As leader of the organization,Wood looks back on a careerthat began at 15 when he waspacking classical records in Co-lumbia's mail room and pro-gressed through sales and A &R jobs for such companies asKapp and Imperial before join-ing Vee-Jay four years ago asWestern sales head. Wood'sabilities are shown by his rapidadvancement to the positionsof sales manager, general man-ager, executive vice presidentand his present position ofpresident which resulted fromthe company's re -organizationin 1963.

Imagination Credited

If skill is 50 per -cent of thereason for Vee-Jay's currentfinancial stability and wealth,imagination certainly should begiven most of the other halfof the credit, for the companyis determined to break awayfrom the standard traditions ofthe record industry. For ex-ample: Vee-Jay refuses tospace the release of singles andalbums evenly, so too many are'lever released at one time;they created the highly -success-ful Oldies 45 idea and are add-ing another innovation, Oldies

Film Review

Crosby Steals Show FromRobin & The Seven Hoods

BY DOUG McCLELLANDIt seems like only yesterday

that pop music fans around theworld were divided into twoequally vociferous factions: pro -Sinatra and pro -Crosby. Thevery young, in the main, favoredthe bow -tied reed who couldsway to big band backing andemit sounds that had more thana passing acquaintance with thelyrics of a song. The more ma-ture leaned toward the sweetLeilaniisms of the casual trou-badour that was Crosby. Butthat was 20 years ago.

Today, The Voice and TheGroaner are appearing in a newWarner Brothers color filmusi-cal, one of the rare originalfilmusicals these days, "Robinand The Seven Hoods," with adelightful score by Sammy Cahnand Jimmy Van Heusen. Whowins? Who's comparing, at thislate date? Both Sinatra andCrosby have long since estab-lished themselves as topflight,all-around, individual perform-ers. And besides, they are hard-ly "teamed" in this pleasant bitof fluff-don't be put off by theprecious title and theme. Pro-ducer Sinatra plays the head ofa 1920s Chicago mob, and issurrounded by Dean Martin(still able to throw awayunfunny lines in a funnymanner), Sammy Davis, Jr.(still doing his imitations andjumping on the furniture),one Hank Henry (amusing as agum -chewing mobster with asmuch film footage as the stars),Barbara Rush (the most matureMaid Marian on record) andPeter Falk (as Sinatra's enemy,who delivers the picture's bestlines with a bit too much of theoverly precise calculation of aPeter Sellers). As Alan A. Dale,the prim orphanage secretarywith a price, Crosby probablyhas the least to do among theprincipals in this "Robin Hood" -"Little Caesar" -"Guys andDolls" spoof.

But what Crosby (now 60)has, Crosby makes count. Hesteals the two -hour -plus picture,and with little more than a cou-ple of numbers. Admirably aid-ed by Sinatra and Martin hedoes a magnificent job on thedandy "Style"-which Der Binglecertainly has, in the finest artis-tic sense. The tune recalls the off-hand elegance of those two mar-velous old Crosby -Astaire filmduets, "A Couple of Song AndDance Men" (from "BlueSkies") and "I'll Capture YourHeart Singing" (from "Holiday

Inn"). To say nothing of theseemingly spontaneous fun ofnumerous vocal teamings withHope and Lamour on the "Road"movies. Then there's "Don't Bea Do-Badderer" which Crosbysings with a bunch of orphansand which is no orphan but a di-rect descendant of his 1944 "Go-ing My Way" -Academy Award -winning song, "Swinging on aStar (also co -written by VanHeusen 1. It's a honey of a scenein which The Star effortlesslyushers the audience into a velvetvice; a typical Crosby offering:refreshing to the young whothink "Officer Krupke" from"West Side Story" is all you cando with a gang of kids in a mu-sical number, and warminglynostalgic to oldsters who remem-ber a more humane era in filmu-sicals when Crosby was doingthis kind of special service al-most every season. This may beCrosby's smallest part sincereaching stardom (and institu-tion status) 30 -odd years ago(excluding guest shots), but,thanks to these two memorableinterludes, it is not a role heneed regret accepting. Much ofthe best of it is on the RepriseRecords soundtrack album.

Sinatra, looking well withadded poundage, also pleaseswith a surprisingly self-effacingperformance. His best number:"Chicago-My Kind of Town,"a superbly Sinatra kind of song.And this is one of the delights ofthe score. Cahn and Van Heusenhave accomplished the difficultfeat of composing attractivetunes that fit the distinct andunique personalities of the wellknown leads. Gordon Douglas di-rected with just the right dis-regard for reality.

Added bonuses: unbilled ap-pearances by Edward G. Robin-son, Hans Conreid, Dick (TV's"Sgt. Preston of The Yukon")Simmons, and (billed) PhilipCrosby (Bing's son) and old-time film character actors AllenJenkins and Jack La Rue.

The verdict on "Robin": light,not always bright of book, butnevertheless fetching family en-tertainment, far from also-ranClan.

Joseph Handleman, President,said the arrangement withMontgomery Ward was "an im-portant step forward for us,"and that the new businessshould "represent $3,250,000 onan annual basis at the presentrate of sale." He said Handle -man planned to "increase thesefigures significantly."

Handleman said phonographrecord record sales represented59% of the company's total salesand a still higher percentage ofprofit in 1963. This is $16,700,-000 of the company's $28,259,000sales last year. He added thatthis year, "we hope to do wellover $20,000,000 on a consoli-dated basis in records."

Handleman said that phono-graph record industry sales haveincreased at a compound growthrate of 12% over the last 10years and 8% in the lastfive years. In the past five yearsHandleman Company recordsales have increased at a com-pound rate of 26%. He saidindependent wholesale merchan-diser sales are rising much fast-er than industry sales and thatindependent wholesale merchan-disers now account for 33% oftotal industry dollar sales. Hesaid the record industry is nowat the $655 million sales leveland should reach $1 billionsales volume by 1970.

Beatles 4 -to -1By Bookie BetsLONDON-Bookies are tak-

ing bets here now from teen-agers on which entertainers willget to the top of the charts.

Bill Newman, a co -director ofthe chain taking the bets, saidhe'd gotten the idea afterwatching the habits of teen-agers. "They spend money inrecord shops, on clothes andhair-dos-but they don't everseem to bet."

Evidently that all changedafter the disk bets were addedto the gambling favorites. Teenswere turning out in large num-bers to put their money wheretheir record player was.

The Beatles emerged as 4 -to -1favorites on the first day ofbetting.

Spearheading the promotionis the release this week of Eng-land's current top platter, "DoWah Diddy Diddy," by Man-fred Mann. Even before its is-sue by Ascot, the Mann etchingis creating excitement, as sev-eral disk jockies have alreadysecured the English recordingand are playing it on the air.It is felt by Ascot brass thatthe Mann group can capture theUnited States like the Beatles.

Also just released on Ascotare two more waxings: Made-line Bell, young English vocal-ist with "You Don't Love MeNo More" and "You Ain't TheFirst Time I've Been Wrong,"paired with "Heart Breakin',"by Eddie Reeves, produced byNorman Petty.

The three -pronged Ascotsingles release will receive thebenefit of an all-out promotioncampaign and is the kick-off ofa new policy for the label inwhich a regular program ofsingles and album will be pre-sented, new artists will besigned and masters purchased.

Pic Composer JarreBeholds Bright DayOscar Winner Talks On Scoring& Latest, 'Behold Pale Horse'BY DAVE FINKLE

NEW YORK - Colpix Rec-ords has been skedding a bigrelease of soundtrack albumsover the last few months ("TheNEW Interns," "Hey, ThereIt's Yogi Bear" and "The LongShips") and announced twoweeks ago a list of three morefilm score LPs - one of which,"Behold a Pale Horse," wasreleased last week in conjunc-tion with the New York open-ing of the Gregory Peck -Anthony Quinn adventuremovie. (The other two are"Nothing But the Best" and"Lilith").

In New York for the "Horse"opening, along with others in-volved in the pic, was the com-poser of the soundtrack, 40 -year -old French darer MauriceJarre, who although never hav-ing worked in Hollywood, hasbecome over the last few yearsone of the most important Holly-wood composer -arrangers.

It was Jarre who wrote theOscar -winning score for "Law-rence of Arabia," the fourthAmerican -backed film he scored.

It was Jarre who scored "TheLongest Day."

Since completing work withFred Zinnemann's "Behold aPale Horse," Jarre has finishedthe score for the upcoming

Maurice JarreBurt Lancaster -United Artistspicture, "The Train" (a UAs'tracker), and he's due to makehis first visit to Hollywood inOctober to write the music forWilliam Wyler's Columbia Pic-tures production, "The Collec-tor" (which may or may not bea Colpix disk).

This is a rather formidablelist of credits, and Jarre toldRecord World (in part throughan interpreter) the history be-hind some of the credits lastweek. He began by talkingabout his "Lawrence of Arabia"score (Colpix's most successfultracker to date), which heturned out in six weeks under

BEHOLDERS-Anthony Quinn, Omar Sharif and Gregory Peckare top -billed in Columbia Pictures' new film, "Behold a PaleHorse," with music by Maurice Jarre available on a Colpixsoundtrack album. Jarre will also soon be represented by hisscore for United Artists' "The Train" (UA gets the LP) andColumbia's "The Collector," which could be Colpix's sound -tracker.

Martin ScoresOn Monro DiskHOLLYWOOD-Liberty A&R

Director Don Blocker is con-vinced that today's record mar-ket demands versatile producers.

He points this up with thecase of George Martin, who canrecord a ballad with Matt Mon-ro, then turn around and helma Beatles blockbuster.

"Versatility seems to be oneof Martin's real attributes,"said Blocker. "In 1962, we had ahit with Martin's production of'Softly, As I Leave You,' andnow it's happening all overagain. We have re -issued ouroriginal single and it's breakingwide open in almost every situ-ation."

CAPERS'The Emperor

BY TED RANDALHOLLYWOOD-One of the most successful station promo-

tions to come along in years is the one currently being usedby Bob Hudson on KRLA.

Several months ago Bob decided to dub himself "EmperorHudson" and play the role to the hilt. The entire station wentalong with the idea, even to the point of building daily promo-tional spots urging listeners to send in their names and address-es and become lieutenants in "Hudson's Commandos." As onemight imagine, "Emperor Hudson" soon became the talk of theentire Los Angeles market, and as a result his ratings showhim to be the most popular disk jockey in the entire area.

There are several reasons why the promotionhas been so succesful: one is that it is comical,yet almost believable. Listeners enjoy one ofBob's "aides" telling them to "Clear the free-ways; Emperor Hudson is going to use them."Another, is that it is not merely something onedisk jockey on the station is doing, it is a pro-motion the entire station participates in andapparently enjoys. It is fun, always fresh, almostbelievable and complete.

Many other stations around the country havepicked up the idea with varying degrees of

success or failure depending entirely on the featured deejayand how well the promotion is handled. A good lesson can belearned from KRLA's success and Bob Hudson's accomplish-ment: It isn't so much what you do, it's how well you do itthat counts.
