There Two YearsExiting Cameo -Parkway along

with Bogart, who has been withCameo for two years, are na-tional promotion managers Ce-cil Holmes, also with the disk-ery two years, and Marty Thau,with a year's tenure; and CarolCoviello, Bogart's assistant.

In the past couple of years,Cameo -Parkway has had about30 records on the charts.

Concept DifferenceIn stating the reason for the

resignation, Bogart said thathis prime concern was "a dif-ference of a basic concept re-lating to record sales and pro-motion in today's industry. Thestaff has been negotiating overthe past few weeks with manycompanies, both major and in-dependent, and has decided togo with one of the more re-cently formed independents."

After contracts have beencompletely executed, the staffwill announce its decision, Bo-gart informed.

Singles Increasingly BeingForced Out of Albums

By DAVE FINKLE

Since radio stations-top 40especially-have increased theirprogramming of cuts from al-bums, an interesting develop-ment in singles releases hastaken shape.

There seems to be an in-crease of singles forced fromalbums by deejay and listenerdemand.

A single taken from an albumis nothing new, but the fre-quency with which it is hap-pening now is.

At Atlantic, execs definitelyare finding the new corollaryto be true. For instance, Are-tha Franklin's million -selling"Respect" was taken from heralbum. Two weeks ago labelpulled Wilson Pickett's "FunkyBroadway" from "The Sound ofWilson Pickett." Last week theyreleased Sondra Williams "GodBless the Child" from her re-ligious "Hark the Voice" disk.This week's new Percy Sledgeis one-from his latest album.All after response from heavyairplay.

Via Sudden, Intense PlayRCA Victor excerpted the

Youngblood's "Get Together,"a peace -in tune from their firstalbum, because of sudden in-tense play on the West Coast.And last week an early leakon a cut from Nilsson's forth-coming first elpee forced out anew single release, "You Can'tDo That."

The Buckinghams' "Mercy,Mercy, Mercy" (Columbia), inthe top 10, was initially meantonly to be an album inclusion.

The Mamas and the Papas'"Creeque Alley" (Dunhill) waschosen by deejays.

The list continues, and asstations continue to play morecuts from today's increasinglymore well-rounded rock albums,the list will certainly continueto grow.

This probably means thatcompanies will maintain the

g 1, :;rd felt gI r

fairly usual pattern of releasingtwo singles from any giventeen album (any more than twowould probably pass the pointof diminishing returns), butthe advantage to waxeries isthat the edge is taken off thegamble of that second single.Labels can release a single witha greater certainty of its even-tual success. The cut has al-ready been test -marketed byradio station music directors.

Another Outgrowth?

Another outgrowth of the al-bum airplay situation could bethe increase of cover singlesin the case of cuts from albumsgetting play with no eventualsingle release. This has alreadybeen the instance with manyBeatles tunes, where just aboutevery cut on an album getsplay, but Capitol, or the Beatlesthemselves, have refused to re-lease any cuts as singles. Theresult: a rash of cover versions.

More of this type activitycould mount.

The new wrinkle is an inter-esting one, and one that maybe more interesting not ironedout.

Firsts for Duke

Duke Ellington managed another"first" in his illustrious career lastweek by winning in no fewer thanfive categories in the 15th annualDown Beat International CriticsPoll. Two of the awards were forhis Victor albums, "The PopularDuke Ellington" (Record of theYear) and "Things Ain't WhatThey Used to Be" (Reissue of theYear) which was released in theRCA Victor Vintage Series.

bor/Dunbar Publishing."You Can't Do That" and

"Ten Little Indians" wasrushed into release last weekas a result of tremendous re-sponse to air play by radiostation KRLA in Los Angeles.KRLA was flooded by phonecalls when, unbeknown to RCAVictor, a dub of Nilsson's diskwas featured as a "world-wideexclusive" by a "Mystery Art-ist."

Philadelphia hit.9. "Be Not Too Hard," Joan Baez-Great song. Immediate

picks.10. "Suzanne on Sunday Morning," Rick Nelson-Fine! Im-

mediate play.11. "Back Track," The Bay Ridge, Atlantic-A lot of play

nationally for the first production of the second Wexler, 15 -year -old Anita.

12. Smash From Philadelphia: "Expressway To Your Heart,"Soul Survivors. It is a giant #5 in sales in Philadelphia, con-firmed big in Florida and with a couple of more markets break-ing it, this will be as big and accurate a tip for us as Box Topsand Jay & Techniques.

13. Breakout from Boston: "From a Parachute," Halee'sComet, Epic-Ted Cooper wrote, produced and sang. It is com-pletely different.

14. "Small Town, Bring Down," Tony Bruno, Buddah-A greatperformance-Artie Ripp has given his best. Poncia and An-dreoli wrote a strong lyric.

Analysis of Dean Martin's Place in ProgrammingDean Martin is to adults what Beatles and Monkees are to kids.

There is no side to a Martin record and stations can programmore than one Martin record. He is the Super -Star! All youhear in cafes are his records; the bartenders sing along andso do the waitresses.

Also, the fabulous melodies of Bert Kaempfert have a uniqueplace in today's adult scene. Thus, WMAK, Nashville; WCOL,Columbus; WING, Dayton; WNDR, Syracuse; WHBQ, Memphis;KNUZ, Houston, etc., are featuring the "I Can't Help Remember-ing You" side along with "Little Ole Wine Maker" during thedaytime. This is SCIENTIFIC, ALERT PROGRAMMING! Wepredict that this Kaempfert-Jimmy Bowen song will become abig standard and top request with adults, and will get fantasticjuke box spins across the nation. The Anita Kerr version onWB is already getting big smooth music play such as WIP,Philadelphia. Look for Kaempfert to put it out as his next single.Behind the Scenes picked this side last week, probably becauseof the big reaction in the upstate NY territory. They are RIGHT!

Southern Music Hot Tip: "Would You Believe," Tempests,is a complete smash giant through Carolina (Charlotte, Raleigh,Winston-Salem, Durham); Georgia, Alabama and went on WIBG.Philadelphia. We fully agree with Dick Reus that this willcome in ALL THE WAY!

Magnificent Men Are Cap's Next Hottest Property"The Magnificent Men Live" LP on Capitol has messed up my

friend Paul Drew's mind. He forced Capitol to release the"Sweet Soul Medley," Parts 1 and 2, as a single by breaking iton 50,000 watt CKLW, Detroit. This is the only blue-eyed soulgroup that headlines and packs R&B theaters such as the Apolloin Harlem and the Uptown in Philly. They completely stole theshow from the 18 top R&B acts featured on the last WDASCharities show before 15,000 people in Convention Hall, Phila-delphia. Nothing in the world can stop this group from cap-turing the crown this year.

We like: "On the Other Side," Seekers . . . "All Those Mem-ories," Len Barry, RCA, sounds potent.

"Be Not Too Hard" is a fantastic song for Joan Baez . . .

Many listings on "Lovin' Day," Warner -Porter -Warner, RCA . . .

The Dave Clark 5 "Little Bit Now" was a hit by the Majors onImperial.

Hi Lit Blew His Cool: About "Gotta Pay the Price," Al Kent.He plays it every 20 minutes on WIBG, he plays it at home inhis Blue -Denim Pad, he sends copies to all his friends. It gotto him!

Pop Stations Are Overlooking a Flip Tip Smash"Knuckle Head," Bar -Kays, Stax, is a stone giant at WCAO,

Baltimore, and in Philadelphia. George Wilson reports it asbeing very large. Why won't some pop stations that could usea smash instrumental for programming try it? You can breakthis one at record hops! . . . Philadelphia is once again leadingthe way in breaking hits for the nation: "Expressway To Your

'Singing Mayor' ValleeMay Sign Record Contract

By DOUG McCLELLANDThe way "Singing Mayor"

Roland S. Vallee of Manches-ter, N. H., feels, if actors cango into politics, politicians cango into show business. Whichis just what he is doing.

"I was tired of entertainerscoming into our profession-Ithought we should fight back,"Mayor Vallee told RecordWorld last week. (Adding:"When I made this statementonce before, it was carriedaround the country.")

Recently, Mayor Vallee com-pleted a successful singing en-gagement at Manchester's SixAcres Supper Club, where hedid two shows a night for aweek. He donated his salaryto the blind-his wife, he re-ported, is "95% blind." He alsosang at the Bedford, N. H.,Camp Allen for Blind Girls notlong ago.

`Suppressed' InterestVallee, who had always been

interested in voice but had"suppressed it," began to singwhile in the service from 1948-1953, and is currently dicker-ing with several record labels.He has sung on TV and radio;although he hastens to inform:"I'm not interested in losingmy political career, but I wouldlike to keep on singing. I'veused music in my campaigning,as have others in the country-it's not really new. EverywhereI go, people say, 'We want youto sing.' It's a great way tocampaign. People rememberyou."

He continued: "I went to amayor's conference in Hono-lulu not long ago, a luau withabout 15,000 in attendance andmaybe 200 mayors. I wasn't toowell known before; but afterI sang, they all knew me."

Vallee, a baritone unheardas yet by the interviewer but

Roland S. Vallee

possessing a voice, in hiswords, "something like RobertGoulet's," has been Mayor ofManchester for almost fouryears. Thirty-three years oldwith six children (four girlsand two boys), Vallee, a com-mercial pilot, has been in Dem-ocratic politics eight years. Heseems to feel he is looked uponfavorably for an even higheroffice in New Hampshire. Healready holds the distinctionof being the youngest mayorever-not to mention the firstsilverthroated one-in the his-tory of the state's largest city(100,000 population).

"There is a trend today ofyoung people in politics, as youknow," he went on.

Any Opposition?Has there been any opposi-

tion to his singing?"At first. When I announced

I would sing at a supper club,some of the politicians thoughtit might not be so good. ButI'm the kind of a politicianwho, once he makes up hismind to do something, goesthrough with it."

Is Roland Vallee any rela-tion to another Way DownEaster of some musical notenamed Rudy Vallee? The May-or laughed, "No, but I've beenkidded about that plenty-es-pecially in the Army!"

Keymen MasterLOS ANGELES-Fred

Smith's Keymen Records, Inc.,has won the race for the "Rich-est Girl (Ain't Got Nothing onMe)" master, performed by Lit-tle Helen, a 13 -year -old fromRoosevelt Junior High School.

Triumph for Scott McKenzieand CBS Records. After fourweeks in the charts, he hasousted the Beatles from Num-ber One spot.

My farewell visit to pirateship Radio London almost be-came a farewell column forRecord World, when I mis-judged my jump from the rock-ing tender to the radio ship. Iended up spreadeagled ungrace-fully with my feet entangled ina rope of the tender, my handsdesperately clinging to the ra-dio ship and my eyes gazingdown at the frightening dark-ness of the North Sea. Fortu-nately, a sturdy crew membermade a grab at my arms andhauled me aboard bodily. Forthe next few hours I was in anerve -shattered state, contem-plating the next jump I wouldhave to make when the tenderreturned. When it did, thistime I took a flying leap andlanded in a heap on a very un-tender deck!

Aboard Radio London I wasgiven wonderful hospitality bythe djs. They were highlyelated by the scoop they hadjust achieved. An advance copyof the new Rolling Stones sin-gle had been thrown to themfrom the tender. Within 17 sec-onds both sides were beingbroadcast-the first broadcastby any radio station in theworld. This is the sort of ini-ti-tive and staff "Auntie" BBCwill have to use if they aretruly to replace the pirateships. The record they playedis a Stone certainty for thehit parade.

The boys were very enthusi-astic about a disk titled "What-ever Happened to the SevenDay Week" issued on Columbiaand recorded by Bella & Me-two blonde Swedish beautiesnamed Bella Munter and Gun-nel Sandgren. The girls tell methey are dying to visit theU. S.

Fortunes for UA

The Fortunes signing to theUnited Artists label is likely tomake all sides a fortune. TheUA team of Noel Rogers, Mar-tin Davies and Roger Welch isdoing a 100% promotion be-hind them. The Fortunes haveproved to be one of the bestUK hit -making groups. Theirlatest single, titled "The Idol,"should be no exception. For-tunes manager Terry King hasa full date book for them in

Europe, and it should not belong before the U. S. sees themlive.

Welcome U. S. visitors hereare the New Christy Minstrels,whose European itinerary hasbeen previously reported inRecord World. They were givena reception by CBS Records ontheir arrival. Kit Lambert andChris Stamp, joint ManagingDirectors of Track Records,whose artists include the Whoand Jimi Hendrix, announcethe appointment of Tony Hallas Consultant Executive Pro-ducer to Track Records.

Liberty Records' first releasesince it set up independentlyis the Strawberry Children's"Love Years Coming." Libertyhas also signed two Britishgroups, the Idle Race and theBonzo Dog Doodah Band.

Straight Ahead Productionsis the title of a new record pro-ducing company set up byDenny Cordell and David Platz,Managing Director of EssexMusic. It will operate from Es-sex Music, 69 Oxford Street,London, W. 1.

The Amen Corner's first"Gin House," is proving an-other fantastic first hit onDeram label.

Contrary to reports in otherpapers, Bill Martin and PhilCoulter have announced thatthey have not signed a man-agement contract with EvelynTaylor.

Ode Single HitsAbroad, Too

Scott McKenzie's drive for"flower power" has really takenhold both in the United Statesand abroad, as evidenced bythe success of his current Odesingle, "San Francisco (Be Sureto Wear Flowers in YourHair)."

Produced by Lou Adler, headof the Ode label, the record isnow No. 1 and 2 on the Britishbest-selling charts. In addition,"San Francisco" is currentlyNo. 2 in Australia and No. 4on Dutch charts.

The record is also making astrong bid for the top spots onother countries' best-sellingcharts, including those in Ger-many and Japan. The successof McKenzie's foreign "flower -power" drive comes at a timewhen the single is still a smashin the United States.

Gordon has incorporatedCameron International, Ltd.,with offices at 515 MadisonAve., which will have availableparts and service for Scopitoneequipment. "Of utmost impor-tance to the operator," Gordonsaid, "would be our extensivefilm program."

In addition to these originalfilm masters, Gordon set up aworld wide film program byconcluding joint ventres to pro-duce film for audio visual equip-ment in Great Britain, France,Germany, Italy, Japan, theBenelux countries, as well asthe United States.

This program will serve todevelop artists and attractionsfor the "sight and sound" ex-plosion.

Gordon, Who is responsiblefor many of the important in-novations in the coin operatedmusic field, is following thepattern in his new venturewhich he previously set at See -burg.

"My faith in the future of`sight and sound' is also sharedby David Rosen of Philadelphia,Pa., and one major coin oper-ated phonograph manufacturer,Rowe-AMI," Gordon concluded.

UA Internat'lHas Hit Album

The first hit album on therecently -formed UA Interna-tional label of United ArtistsRecords is "Canta Raphael,"a program of performances byRaphael, Spain's foremost popvocalist.

The collection has hit pay -dirt in Puerto Rico where Carl-os Julio, Sales Manager of theJ. M. Vela Company, UA dis-tributors for the territory, re-ports that it has just skyrock-eted past the 50,000 mark intotal sales, making it one ofthe biggest -selling sets in thatareas recent history. Vela hasplaced two recorders of tenthousand copies each duringthe past 10 days alone. Excite-ment has now spread to NewYork City where Alpha Distrib-utors is reporting heavy action.

Much of the impact createdby Raphael is due to the factthat his starring film, "CuandoTu No Estats," is a boxofficemoneymaker in Puerto Ricoand his album contains manyof the songs performed by theyoung star in the movie, whichwill soon be seen in New York.

Ron Eyre, UA International'sArtists & Repertoire chief, iscurrently readying a new pro-gram by Raphael for promptrelease.

Club Review

Temptations GetDancing Ovation

NEW YORK-Gordy's Temp-tations, opening last week atthe Copa, provoked a Copafirst-a dancing ovation.

The lads, who were decidedlyat their best singing their hits,roused the primarily 30 andunder crowd to a high state ofanimation with the incessant,vital beat of "Get Ready," "MyBabe" and especially "Don'tLook Back" and "Losin' You."

The place calmed down, how-ever, when the quintet felt ithad to give the nod to the 30 -plus set by reminisicing with"Ole Man River," "Swanee,""If I Didn't Care," "PaperDoll." The fellows weren't badsinging these tunes in strictblocking, but it's not what theydo best. And variety isn't al-ways the spice of life.

However, they have what ittakes to please the crowd theywill draw. And I wouldn't besurprised to hear that the Copa,now on 60th Street, has Shin-galinged over to 61st and backby sometime next week.

Concert Review

Baez OutstandingFOREST HILLS, L. I. -

Equipped with a guitar, asmile, a thrilling voice and abag of songs old and new, JoanBaez, still a sweet ragamuffinminstrel, wandered into herconcert here last week.

Her themes were love andpeace and each of her songswas an expression of them. Shesang her Dylan songs -"Blow-in' in the Wind," "It Ain't Me,Babe," "Daddy, You Been onMy Mind" and introduced twoItalian songs (in Italian), per-haps the most interesting addi-tions to her repertoire.

Other highlights of her per-formance were her new single"Be Not Too Hard," "ThereBut for Fortune," "I Want MyFreedom Now" and "I'm a PoorPilgrim," the last two ren-dered a cappella.

Vanguard's artist is an in-teresting one. She is committedto her songs to such an extentthat her voice, quite an instru-ment, takes a back seat. Itseems to me that Joan couldarrange her songs such that,without losing lyric content,she could use her voice asmore than an expedient.

Perhaps that's caviling, forshe is still an outstandingartist.

Starday Inks Guy MitchellAnd Arthur Smith

NASHVILLE - Singing starGuy Mitchell has signed an ex-clusive recording contract withStarday Records. Mitchell, whohas a long string of hits onthe Columbia label and wasthe star of his own networktelevision musical shows, hasmoved from California toNashville.

Don Pierce, President ofStarday, announced that Mit-chell is to cut Starday albumand singles sessions immedi-ately.

Mitchell's recording sessionswill be produced by TommyHill, Starday A & R chief, inthe company's Madison studios.Hill said he will draw fromboth country and pop catalogsfor material and will featurethe modern country sound forwhich Nashville is famous.

Personal management andbookings for Mitchell will behandled by the Lucky MoellerAgency. He will be makingpersonal appearances through-out the world. A large part ofhis repertoire, as always, is ofcountry origin.

Pierce pointed out that Mit-chell recently came to Nash-ville on a visit and liked theMiddle Tennessee area so well,particularly its music industry,that he decided to stay. Mit-chell's many hits from thecountry catalogs, notably"Singing the Blues," stamp himas an important country artistas well as pop.

Another important acquisi-tion for Starday results fromthe re-signing of Arthur ("Gui-tar Boogie") Smith of Char-lotte, N.C. Smith, until recentlywith Dot Records, had a seriesof successful selling albums onStarday a few years back.

The increasing popularity of"The Arthur Smith Show" ontelevision h a s mushroomedSmith into one of the hottestproperties around. The show iscurrently being aired in over40 important markets through-out the United States. He is aveteran of over 20 years' con-secutive programming on WBTand WBT-TV.

A musician on all types ofstring instruments, he is bestremembered for 'his "GuitarBoogie" million seller. TheSmith show continues to breakrecords on personal appear-ances. He has a vast followingin Europe, Africa and Aus-tralia. The show vocalist Tom-my Faile will also be recordingfor Starday.

Pabbery SwingingActivities at Starday's Music

Publishing offices, headed byJudy Myers, are also of interest.As a completely competitivemusic publishing concern func-tioning in the downtown Nash-ville's Music Row, Starday hasexecuted exclusive song writeragreements with Ray King,Warren Robb, George Riddle,George Morgan, Betty Amosand Shirl Milete.

Ray King and Warren Robb,staff writers, have a dual rela-tionship with Starday as writ-ers and artists. Both have newsingle releases out. The sameis true of George Morgan,George Riddle and Betty Amoswho are all writers as well asartists. Miss Myers pointed outthat Starday offers an unusualopportunity for qualified writ-ers because of the fact thatthe Starday label is in constantneed of new material, and theStarday Publishing Enter-prises are actively workingwith A & R heads and artistsof other labels for the ultimateexposure of new material. Thepromotional setup at Stardayunder Charlie Dick maintainsclose personal contact with allthe leading disk jockeys andthe music scene. Dick is as-sisted by Miss Myers. Watstelephone facilities are avail-able to artists and writers touse from the Starday Town-house on Music Row in contactwork.

The constant search for goodsong material continues atStarday.

'Long Song'Goes Country

NASHVILLEsic observersspotted a trend"Long Song," acurate as any.

- Country mu -think they've

developing, themoniker as ac -

"The Beatles may havestarted the whole thing off" inthe pop -rack field, commentsFelton Jarvis of RCA Victor,"but we've some strong candi-dates locally for the C&W dis-tinction."

"Long Songs" can appear ineither single or album format.While the Beatles' best ex-ample is their latest LP "Ser-geant Pepper's Lonely HeartsClub Band," the most outstand-ing C&W example is BobbyBare's just -released Victor al-bum "A Bird Named Yester-day," which is setting a blister-ing sales pace nationally.

Bare's "Bird" is the brain-child of Jack Clement, one ofcountry music's most uniqueand successful song stylists.Clement conceived the albumidea, and then wrote most of it.

Like Sgt. Pepper, "Bird" isactually a collection of songsdesigned to blend into a wholeor single entity. In this man-ner, the "long song" causes theLP to be viewed by the listeneras an "entire art form," ratherthan as a series of single un-related recordings.

I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOUSONNY JAMES AND THE SOUTHERNGENTLEMEN-Capitol (S)T 2788.

Tom Springfield's "I'll Never FindAnother You," Sonny's most recentsingle hit, is the lead-off item of thisslickly -produced new package. TheSouthern gentleman sings tunes like"Take Me Back," "Goodbye, Maggie,Goodbye" for the fans. Big.

MY ELUSIVE DREAM

DAVID HOUSTON & TAMMY WYNETTE-Epic LN 24325; BN 26325.

"My Elusive Dream" by Curly Put-nam and Billy Sherrill is certainly oneof the best songs of the year and makesthis high quality duet album that muchbetter. Tammy and David also do"Somethin' Stupid," "Hey, Good Look -in," and more.

SIX OF ONE, HALF A DOZEN OF THE OTHERDEL REEVES-United Artists UAL 3595; UAS 6595.

The title refers to the fact that Delis in an up mood on one side of thisdisk and down on the other. Buyerswill like the gimmick and the tunes,"Money (Is the Root of All Evil),""Blame It on My Do Wrong," "I WokeUp."

KIDS, I LOVE 'EMARCHIE CAMPBELL-RCA Victor LPM/LSP 3780.

The subject and obviously the ob-ject of affection here is kids. Archiequite clearly loves them as he rompsthrough this package with a smile inhis voice. "Little Boy Blue," "My LittleBuckaroo," "The Men in My LittleGirl's Life."

KING OF WESTERN SWING

BOB WILLS-Kapp KL 1523; KS 3523.Mel Tillis joins Bob on this swing

through some western ditties, amongthem one of the greatest of all West-ern ditties, Willis' own "San AntonioRose." Mel sings "Sugarfoot Rag,""Memphis," "Looking Over MyShoulder."

I'M JUST LIVINGMELBA MONTGOMERY-Musicor MM 2129; MS 3129.

Melba's tunes always have clever,involving titles and her singing is alsoconsistently involving. Here she in-cludes "I Love to Put Me On," "I Holdthe Record," "The World Didn't CostMe a Dime," "South of Lonesome."Stock well.

Decca for Oct. 1, called "Lon-don Country" . . . Steve Ben -bow is making many fanswith his radio series onBBC; his LP on the Folklorelabel, "This, That and the Oth-er," has quite a selection ofsongs including tracks that Iam sure will never be broad-cast because of their naughty(but funny) lyrics.

Aug. 6 sees the arrival of thecurrent country chart man,David Houston, to promote his"With One Exception" hit onBritish radio, TV and P.A.'s.Accompanying him will beTammy Wynette, with whom
