WOIV/NY Goes Off The Air At 2:02pm Tuesday (19)

WQIV signed off their AOR music format with Elton John's "Funeral For A Friend." The announcement told the aud-ience that the station was con-cluding its music broadcast and that when it returned to the air the station would be playing "classical music." Thus ended the famous "QIV Battle." Star Bnoadcasting received

notice from the FCC that the sale to GAF had been ap-proved. GAF took over im-mediately and began making the changes they proposed to the FCC. Station is currently programming a station I.D. every half hour, no other on air content. No kick off date for the return to classical music had been given as of our press time. GAF had proposed to return

to the old WNCN call letters and format and agreed to allow members from the pro-testing local citizens groups to participate in programming designs.

BUDDAH RECORDS SOLD? R&R learned that Art Kass,

president of Buddah Records, is in negotiations with Viewlex the parent company, to pur-chase Buddah from them. Apparently the papers are now being prepared and a formal announr:ement should be forthcoming.

Operations Manager Paul Ward admits to "stealing" a nearly 20 year old promotion idea for another event for the Safari: billing it the "Great 1(106 Suntan." Listeners stra-tegically placed tape on their bodies to spell out 1(106. worked on their tan, and then arrived at the station's Safari for the competition. During the Safari, the tape was removed, and the listener with the light-est "K106" on their body won $106 and 106 rock 'albums. Other highlights of the day were a dance contest and, at the end of the day, the first annual "K106 Garbage-Pick-Up contest." Listeners got al-bums for their trash, and a spotless beach to ,come back to.

ANOTHER LIVE ONE Z93/Atlanta joins the cur-

rent force of stations giving away live sharks. This one is a baby sand shark, with a growth potential of 14 feet in-length: It comes complete with its own tank and life support system.

SOON IN R&R.

MCA recording artist Roger Daltrey visited KHJ to guest on Mark Elliott's afternoon show. Daltrey was in Los Angeles as part of a two week American tour to promote his new solo MCA LP, "Ride A Rock Horse," and to talk about his film debut in the starring role in "Tommy." Pictured at the radio station are [left to right] Mark Elliott, Charlie Van Dyke [program director] and Ro er Daltre

Patrick Shaughnessy, station manager of K100/Los Angeles, presents this lucky winner with her very own live leopard shark as the culmination of the station's "Super jaws" promotion. Call in listeners qualified for the drawing to choose the grand prize winner, and all callers won "Jaws Logbooks" outlining the making of the record-shattering movie, as well as a Jaws T-Shirt.

A country and rock concert highlighted the "Big Switch" ceremonies at Oshkosh, Wis., when radio stations WOSH and WYTL exchanged frequencies Thursday night, July 31. WOSH, a contemporary music station, moved from 1490AM to 104FM. The modern country station, WYTL, moved from 104FM to 15AM. Both stations belong to the Midwest Family Station group.

Radio Station WIXY-AM in Cleveland and Fred Humphrey, MCA promotion in Cleveland, set up a I.ynyrd Skynyrd "Saturday Night Special." The promotion, a sample of southern hospitality extended by MCA recording group Lynyrd Skynyrd to the WIXY listening audience, offered 25 phone-in winners a "Saturday Night Special." The winners received the MCA LPS "Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 'Jaws,' " and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Nuthin' Fancy." They were also treated to a complimentary fish dinner and a private screening of the film "Jaws." Pictured [top] with some of the winners is "World Famous" Tom Murphy,disc jockey on WIXY and [below] the winners at the screening of "Jaws."

"I heard that some people wore upset that I had won the Grammy. but the award had nothing to do %vitt' 1110. I didn't I 1(1)1)51 Itt haV1) 11 Int record

I didn't choose tor them le like it Bel ill it bevend my «intro! and d the Lins Ii the music. that's what really ,)Iints to me. II a couple of people in Nashville object. then its really out at my hands...."

Olivia Nowton-lohn's candid ( ()lenient On winning the Grammy (and the storm of controversy that followed) is indicative of the young lady as she really is -- thoughtful, sensitive, and totally pro-fessional — not the fragile. childlike innocent that her image might convey, and her story is a fascinating one...

Unknown to many. Olivia is a veteran of the record indus-try. and not the overnight sensation we would all love to believe. She's been perform-ing since the age of fourteen, giving her a solid twelve year background in practicing her art. An Australian immigrant from a strong academic fam-ily, her father served as a College Dean who also pos-sessed a Welch voice of al-most operatic quality. Thus, Olivia's singing ability was encouraged as long as it didn't interfere with school. She and three school friends started singing traditional Jazz at dif-ferent gatherings: however, "we were pretty bad." admits Olivia. "But it was just for fun. Two of the girls sang completely off-key and we got booed off the stage most of the time!" The school quartet broke up and Olivia ended up singing in her brother-in-law's coffee shop under the careful eye of her parents. Her fresh appeal and soft voice attract-ed patrons and one of them encouraged her to enter a national talent contest. She easily won the competition, landing her a trip to London which marked the beginning of her professional career. Al-though she could not im-mediately take advantage of the prize (she was in her last year of school). the notoriety led to a hostess spot as "Love-ly Livvy" on "The Happy Show." a weekly children's TV show. The experience of work-ing in front of an audience and delivering dialogue did much to break down her inherent shyness.

"I was always terrified of having to speak in public so the show was wonderful, as it taught me discipline and gave me valuable stage exper-ience." Her TV exposure brought yet another TV series offer. a Mom and Pop daytime program. which unexpectedly catapulted her into national prominence. The newspapers capitalized on her youth by running captions of "School of Stardom" featuring "Livvy" wearing her school uniform opposite pictures of her "dressed up." Olivia opted for the entertainment world and after the TV stint ended, she took advantage of her contest prize to London.

Although she was big news in Australia. she was a total unknown in England and her youth and inexperience told heavily. "All I wanted to do was go back to Australia," explained Olivia. "I wcrked at some really dreadful clubs and made a dreadful record which was so bad it was never released. Nobody knew who I was and I wasn't good, act-ually, because I needed more experience." She was still a very young sixteen-year-old

and somewhat rootless in her ambitions. "I thought at one time I wanted to attend The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art .to expand myself, but I really wasn't too ambitious and soon dropped the idea." Then a surprise visit from an old schoolmate, Pat Carroll, who had also won a talent contest, produced a change in Olivia's fortunes. "She was a terrific singer and dancer and we decided to join up as a double act because we were lonely, by ourselves and very young." Having another per-son share the stage evidently was the necessary ingredient for the shy singer, serving to diffuse the terrifying spotlight before she Was really ready for solo exposure. "Pat taught me how to move and gave me confidence on stage. She had been used to working on her own and I was used to stand-ing still on stage. Our first night she danced all around me criss-crossing the mike wires and by the end of the show, we were completely tangled up and couldn:t move!" The girls, billed simply as Pat and Olivia. enjoyed local success and ended up doing several TV guestings leading to needed experience and confidence building for Olivia. The successful duo was

broken up two years later by the British government, who refused to extend Pat's visa any further. Olivia was safe as she had an English pass-port. but decided to accom-pany her friend home for a visit. The two were greeted with a hero's welcome, offered plenty of work and even had their own TV show. Pat even-tually married, dropped out of the entertainment field and Olivia once again returned to London. However,, this time she was an experienced per-former who knew the ropes and England began to notice the soft-voiced Australian. Olivia had the same manager as British TV star. Cliff Richard. and when a girl was needed for a duet on the show, she got the chance. "As it turned out, our voices blended very nicely so we made a record which did quite well and I was invited to do

AN INSIGHT INTO

by Candy Tusken his Christmas show." Olivia debuted to the English TV audience with Cliff as the boy and girl next door, which gained immediate viewer ac-ceptance. turning her into a regular on the show. She also released her first record at that point, "If Not For You," which was spotlighted on Cliff's show. helping break the song and Olivia onto the Eng-lish charts. A quick succession of five hits earned her a solid reputation with the English and the continent, but there was little interest from Amer-ica.

"I was not a huge success in England." said Olivia: "I wasn't a superstar. My re-cords sold fairly well. ,but phenomenally." Then she cut a song titled "Let Me Be There" which did not do well either in England or the Amer-ican Pop charts. However, the single served as Olivia's intro-duction into the complex world of American "crossover" stra-tegies and multi-repertoire charts. "I wasn't really aware of the great differences be-tween the Pop charts and the Country charts: When the song first come out in the States. they said "it's not doing too well on the Pop charts, but we're thinking of re-releasing it in the Country Market." I couldn't figure out

how they were going to do that! It was all very strange to me." Needless to say, the song was a huge Country smash and proceeded to cross over into the Pop field,thereby earning Olivia her first gold recerd She became the over-night sensation of the country consumer. llowever. she ran smai mil, the snubbers, and outrage of several Nashyille citizens. After walking away with the Grammy for the Most Promising Female Vocalist, a committee was formed called "Rem" to protest a "foreigner" winning over established Nashville Country artists.

Unfortunately. friends and business associates sheltered Olivia from the storm in Nash-ville and her silence failed to curb the many inaccuracies that were attributed to her. Explained Olivia: "I had no knowledge of what was going on. The things that I had heard later that I was report-edly supposed to have said. I never would have said in a million years. I never would have put Country music or Country people down. I never made any statement about Country music, nor was I asked to make a statement while I was in Nashville. I think it was a very small percentage who were upset over the award, but I think

the same people would be thrilled if they had a Pop hit: they're all trying to have a hit on the Pop charts just as much. And it's happening now and I don't know why they're objecting. because I think in a way I've opened up doors for them, because people who may have never listened to Country before, listen to my albums. Since I've had cross-over records, a lot of people have had them. Even the Pointer Sisters had a Country hit. I think it had to happen. Music can't be classified. You can't be putting it into little niches like that. It has to grow and evolve."

Many critics dismiss Olivia's success by alluding to her. face and figure being her fortune. with predictions that her nova will soon burn out without a strong voice to cement her stardom and no writing ability to firm up her talents. While these criticisms have not served to diminish the public's buying preference. they have possibly hurt Olivia personally and she treads very carefully on this subject, showing her vulnerability and lack of con-fidence. Regarding her writing ability, she said: "I've got ten boxes filled with lyrics and I've written down hundreds of ideas while traveling: now all I have to do is find tunes for them. I've taped some of the songs, but it frustrates me when I listen back as I always think it's rubbish and discard it. I very much want to write. hut I won't release anything just because I wrote it, it would have to he up to par with everything else. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself."

As for the critics. Olivia feels -They have a right to their opinion. Not everyone can like me. I don't expect them to. I don't want to be another Linda Ronstadt. I want to be me." Her realistic views of her own talents and overriding concern of being herself are apparent when questioned about the "quality" of her singing. "I can actually sing louder than I do. but then I sound like everyone else. I never set out to copy any style or singer as I always felt that

I think the guidance was incredibly im-portant bum iuse when .you're starting. you redly don't hear Yourself and other people can her what you cook! develop into better than you can.

RECORDS RECORD INDUSTRY NOTES

by Candy Tusken Early medical prognosis regarding Led Zep's Robert Plant who was

in a serious car crash in Europe. is that his ankle (broken in six places) will keep him out of action for at least six months. Both of his children broke all their arms and legs, but the main concern is their mother. Plant's wife. Maureen. As of this writing, she was still unconscious with a shattered pelvis and severe face lacerations. Reports say the injuries are so serious that it may affect her walking and the recovery prediction being mentioned is at least a year. Naturally the group's tour has been cancelled and Jimmy Page is now enroute to the States to produce Michael DesBarres new album for Swan Song: a project he had planned for after the tour. No immediate plans have been announced by the other Zap members... U.A.'s Dr. John had L.A.'s Cherokee Studios decorated as a sleazy New Orleans night club to get just the right "feel" for his new album he recorded there last week to be titled "Live At Willie Purple's." Invited guests who ended up jamming half the night with the good doctor were Ringo on drums. Eric Clapton on congas. Joe Cocker doing vocals. Dr. John on piano and team cheerleaders Ringo's Nancy Andrews and Patti Boyd Harrison who did some impromptu dancing for the visiting BBC who filmed the event. Also on hand were Alice Cooper and manager Shen Gordon. Tommy Smothers. Kim Fowley. and Cherokee house band Hero...

BOARED? Rock guitarist Ted Nugent has come up with a surefire way to

inspire his band to greater heights. Ted dons his trusty bow and arrow and stalks around on his hundred acre farm in Michigan hunting wild boar which he kills, butchers and cooks himself. After stewing this delicacy for the appropriate amount of time, he serves it up to his band claiming "boar meat makes us mean, and when the band is mean we can play some outrageous Rock 'N Roll!" No comments from the band. but the wildlife in Ted's neighborhood probably understands some of the titles off his new Epic album such as "Stranglehold" and "Stormtroopin'. The album will be available in September and you can see this intrepid hunter and his well fed boys on tour along with Aerosmith in the near future.... One of the big scandals in the twenties concerned the murder of architect Stanford White who was shot at art exclusive New York restaurant with the reason rumored in those days as the old love triangle. The story is being made into a movie as scripted by Bob Merrill with the part of the murderer. Harry K. Thaw, now being read by fvfick Jagger. Cher flew back from Hawaii to pose for the cover of family magazine. you guessed it. Good Housekeeping plus is the subject of Playboy's interview in their upcoming October issue. Variety's Army Archerd assures us that she will not be posing for any of those Playboy pics.. A&M has signed Peggy Lee with her first album, written and produced by Leiber and Stoller. to be released in conjunction with her national tour the last week in September...

VICTORIAN TV Phonogram/Marcuri decided to run some lOcc spots on KXTX-TV/

Dallas to promote the group's single and album. The label received back a terse letter after the advertising specs had been sent explaining they were a member in good standing with the Christian Broadcasting Network and were refusing the ad. Reasons given? The group's name had an obvious reference to narcotics (as reported in this column last week, it doesn't.) the logo (which is simply lOcc in sausage lettering) was offensive due to its phallic indications and they were insulted by the references to the devil (???) .The letter ended saying the station felt the ad was unacceptable due to negative reactions they were sure would come from their viewers... English rock idol, David Essex, is finally making his long awaited and anticipated U.S. visit which will include a guest stint with TV's leading lady, Cher. tri be aired this November 30th. David will be bringing over his band as well for a fifteen city tour in October and November with his smash English single "Rolling Stone" to be released stateside in the near future... Expect a new Billy Cobham studio album some time in September which is, as yet, untitled... Belated birthday wished to Sparks' Ron Mael (8-12) and David Crosby (8-14)... While LaBelle was in town for the Rocky awards, they stopped in the studios to provide some backup vocals for their old pianist. Elton John, for his new album... Epic has rush released a new single by the Biddu Orchestra titled "Summer Of '42" which has enjoyed tremendous success in England and has become a favorite disco tune in New York via the import album. Biddu wrote "Kung Fu Fighting" and is a native Indian who moved to England. recording for Polydor and moonlighting as a doughnut maker at the American Embassy. He was later picked up .by CBS in England who released his debut LP. "Blue Eyed Soul" from which the current single was culled...

FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING Thoroughbred Management's President, John Gunnell, celebrated

his birthday last week, having some close friends up to his home in Los Angeles. John (who is known to have a frog fetish) was surprised by an enormous cake fashioned in the shape of a huge toad with green frosting dotted with yellow warts. Those who dined on the lily pad resident were Rod Stewart, LaBelle. John Mayan, Eric Mercury, Spencer Davis, newly signed ABC artist Dee McKinnie and her producer Steve Cropper, KMET's Joe Collins.

RECORD INDUSTRY PROFILE:

Janis Lundy IANIS LUNDY: NATIONAL SMALLER MARKET PROMO-TION CO-ORDINATOR, CAP-ITOL RECORDS BORN: March 14 BIRTHPLACE: San Francisco, California SIGN: Pisces Janis is highly representa-

tive of the young middle man-agement females who are starting to find a permanent home in the record business where their talents are being recognized in all aspects of the music industry. A seven year record l veteran

Janis was an avid collector of forty-fives as a youngster with her tastes ranging from Paul Anka to Nina Simone. "I was only eleven when the Jefferson Airplane, Joplin and Hendrix came on the scene, but I was firmly rooted in Top 40 and have never really gotten into the progressive music as much. I think the music re-flects and goes along with the times you're living in and since I grew up with hard Rock/Top 40, it still remains my favorite music. My family moved down to Los Angeles while I was still in High School and I became an instant beach bunny and went to all the concerts. Like many other people my age, music was an essential part of my life." Her scholastic interests leaned toward the Biological sciences and she enrolled at UCLA following High School. "I was always a science major and thought I would be one of those people involved in find-ing the cure for cancer: one of your top 10 scientists! How-ever, I needed a fulltime job . .and _had to enter_the_busineSs world before I could finish school. My first indoctrination into the music business was through Rod McKuen who had a publishing house and Stan-yan Records. I worked there for about

two years and learned as much as possible' about pub-lishing administration when I heard that A&M Records was looking for a Publishing Ad-ministrator for Irving/Almo Music. I interviewed with Chuck Kaye. got the job and it turned out to be by real opening into the music busi-ness. I walked into a full line record company and my experience was expanded into foreign publishing as A&M had the Island and other foreign catalogs. I also started to get heavily involved with the artists, songwriters, man-agers and professional man-egers and really learned how a song evolves from the embryonic stages. I was very fortunate to work closely with Paul Williams just as he was starting to come into his own

Capitol

as a writer and performer. Eventually I handled his bus-iness and personal affairs as far as press releases, inter-views, travel arrangements. itineraries, etc. He's an in-credibly warm and sensitive human being and 'was very influential in my wanting to stay in the record business. He gave me an insight into songwriting as his, and oth-ers', talents lie in their sensi-tivities. They are able to take experiences (not necessarily their own) and give them a personal,. yet universal. iden-tity that everyone can under-stand — or what is commonly known as the "hook."

Two years later a chance came to expand my knowledge with Ed Silvers ,of Warner Brothers Music. Their publish-ing was a heavy challenge as they had over 10,000 copy-rights at that time and were also involved in printwork (songbooks) plus synchroniza-tion of TV shows and movies. I became their Publishing Ad-ministrator which turned out to be the highest pressure job J'd_ever ha.d., They moved into more acquisition of catalogs which could include up to fifty titles which meant all the copyrights had to be changed to our ownership. There's an amazing amount of work invol-ved, but it was excellent discipline as legally I had to be one hundred percent cor-rect or it could cost the com-pany millions of dollars. It was the finalization of my learning processes as far as publishing was concerned. A year later. I was approached by Playboy Music. They had just signed a production deal with Roman Polanski and acquired the An-thony Newley/Leslie Bricusse catalog. I wits intrigued as they had some great ideas. were backed by Hugh Hefner's money and it was a chance to _get in 'on the ground floor. I enjoyed the company. but after the high level activity of my previous jobs. it became a little mundane. Due to some executive changeovers, the company wanted me to head up the entire department at an excellent salary, but in the

interim 1 mot Al Coury and he changed my entire profession-al life. I interviewed with Al and

after ten minutes, there was no question in my mind that I wanted to work for this indi-vidual. The energy level was something I had never seen before in my life! His enthus-iasm, optimism and take care of business attitude really overwhelmed me and still does. I took the job because of Al: it was the kind of thing you just couldn't say no to. My first project was organizing the college department from the ground up and we now presently deal with about 400 college radio stations. The col-lege stations are very impor-tant to Capitol and to the industry as a whole. Not only do they serve as training grounds for future Program Directors and jocks, but in a real business sense, they can help break records for you. Like the stations in smaller markets that I deal with, it's a mutual support system. you have to treat these stations as you would the majors. I feel in a way they're almost more important as more often than not, they will give you a break when you need it. The com-munication and cooperation is really phenomenal. When I talk to the stations, whether it be college or smaller markets. I find out what's happening, not just with Capitol's product. but with competitive product as well. The most valuable informa-

tion you get from these sta-tions is feedback. If you have a new act. and .they take a shot_cut Ike record, ..play it_and report sales and phone re-quests back to you. then you're no longer fighting in the dark. Now you have some valid information that can be channeled back to perhaps a major in his area or other stations and land yourself a regional breakout. Capitol has broken many new acts that way and many times it all starts with the college or smaller market stations. I know the markets and pro-grammers and they have to be treated just as if they were a major station. Smaller market stations obviously have to try harder, consequently they know their markets in depth and also keep a close eye on what the majors are doing. They know if you're hyping them or not backing them up or solving their stock problems etc. Obviously Capitol believes in the importance of these stations or they wouldn't by paying me to do this job. I've seen a lot of personnel in

Every once in a while it is good to stand back and reassess a situation. The growth of this newspaper and this section has been strong and rapid. In the past year alone, the conscious-ness of our industry has undergone many positive changes. People are opening their eyes to the new and more accurate ways to deal with business at hand. This is especially true in Album Oriented Rock radio. The benefits of these new attitudes are enjoyed by radio people and record people alike.

We are constantly at the old drawing board and once again on the verge of another expansion for the enrichment of this section. Within the next few weeks we'll be making some major announcements. By the time you read this issue, I will probably have spoken to you on the phone. This past week was devoted to my making personal contact with all of our correspondents for the purpose of gaining feedback and brainstorming.

Because we gather new stations and readers weekly, it is sometimes necessary to reiterate some of the basic goals and policies of this section. Most important is the idea that Album Oriented Rock radio,

subjectively refered to as Progressive radio, is and must be dealt with as the major broadcasting form and power that it is.

It is, our contention that there are excellent radio stations and people who's recognition is long overdue. All AOR's are important, small or large. A wide open door of communication unhampered by political or ego bias can only help everybody. When one takes the time to observe the truth and detail, it becomes apparent, in many cases, that the only difference between a major AOR and a minor one can be transmitter tower location, and the difference between a well known individual and lesser known one, can be salary. You see, unlike many of the other contemporary music formats which rely so heavily on financial, mechanical, and physical resources in order to achieve quality, AOR radio can succeed with brainwork and creativity. Hopefully, for their sakes, other formats may someday regain that purity.

If you read the trades and listen to street talk, you will constantly find people in our industry complaining about how radio is becoming boring and how everybody sounds the same. Its obvious that these people do not listen to AOR radio.

You see, the degree of variety among successful AOR's seems to be endless. Take a look at WXRT in Chicago with their featured albums and Un-concerts and then look at KLOS and their mass appealing music continuum. Both stations are going after roughly the same demographics and both are excellent in their totally different approaches and sounds. The Southern Progressive Radio Network which started out of WORJ is picking up stations constantly [all the way to Australia] and is pioneering an exciting new concept in live music radio programming. WAAF, a station that up until a year ago was unknown nationally, wound up showing impressively in the ARB's of five separate markets. WZZQ was also overlooked, yet covers the entire state of Mississippi with album rock. KAMC in Arlington is an AOR that plays Country music. W MMS is making great advancements in experimenting with the disco scene. WSHE and WQIV are leaders in the use of quadra-phonics on a full time level. KGB produced an album using local music talent and proved that you can come up with an enviable ARB infiltrating the songs into normal programming. W1OT is giving expos e to alot of fine Jazz product. KOME has proven that an out of town "suburban" station can take a huge chunk of the metro ratings. KMET has three females on the air. KSAN is getting into perceptive and potent editorialization. KNAC is a leader in the programming of imported product. Syndication is thriving on AOR radio. Programs such as The King Biscuit Flower Hour and Rock Around The World are carried coast to coast. I can go on and on and in future issues that is exactly what I'm going to do. The more attention paid to activity and evolution, the more AOR can be progressive on an intelligent

and constructive level. Our purpose in having a chart that deals with one aspect of

activity only, airplay, is to promote accuracy without mystery. Any chart that claims to combine elements and factors leaves too much leeway to the whim and subjectivity of the chartmaker. The focus here is the ends as opposed to the means. It doesn't matter how airplay comes about, whether it is

"As a piece of art, "Tonight's the Night" works eerily well. . ." —Rockwell, New York Times

"It is the 70s, the pain, alienation, and cynicism of the post-flowerchild sensibility.

—Campbell, Colorado Daily

"He is not making believe. . . the listener is numbed, then baffled, and finally, exhilarated."

—Robins, Creem

"For all its flaws and bum notes, it represents real feelings and emotions, and because of that is far more satisfying than something technically perfect."

—Charone, Sounds

"The first horror record." —Neil Young, New Musical Express

"Recommended for its integrity, dramatic potency, and sheer courageousness — but certainly not for the squeamish.'

—Scoppa, Phonograph Record Magazine

"Emotionally compelling. . . a great and troubling pop music wake."

—Holden, Village Voice

"I've been listening to this album for two years now, and I'm not tired of it. It's a good friend of mine."

COUNTRY

The Country music industry was shocked from the news of the untimely, death of BILLBOARD Magazine's Southern Editor, BILL WILLIAMS last Sunday, August 17. Williams heart attack happened last Saturday while attending an Atlanta Braves baseball game in Atlanta. Georgia. Williams, who was 53 at the time of his death. joined Billboard in 1967 and before that worked for WSM radio in Nashville as public relations director and head of promotion. He also worked with WSM-TV as a newscaster and weatherman. He was the State President for Associated Press Broadcasters and member and Chairman of the Radio-TV News Director Association. In 1971 he was the President of NARAS. He had been president of the Country Music Association and the Gospel Music Association. •He was born CECIL FREDRICK WILLIAMS in Omaha, Nebraska. Williams will be survived by his widow Eunice, four sons, two daughters and three sisters. Even though Williams worked for a competing trade, this reporter had for many years enjoyed his excellent journalism. His contributions to the Country Music industry have been numerous and his presence will be missed in the industry.

CORKY MAYBERRY has re-joined the staff of KFOX, Long Beach. He'll be on-the-air 6-12 midnight week nights... WAME, Charolette, North Carolina, has just hired BOB RILEY from California to do mornings. Former morning man, BILL QUAY, will be on mid-days. This all starts September 1. Also, WAME music director, RICH JONES told me his station has just cut their playlist size to 45. Another station joining those stations who believe a short list will build ratings. As you know in the past, I have spoken in favor of the shorter list, with certain limitations. Former WHK Program Manager DAVE DONAHUE has put together a very interesting editorial on the short playlist concept. It's neither a plug for or against, but the short playlist cautions are very newsworthy. I hope to have it for next week's R&R. If your station is considering a cutback it might be to your advantage to hold off until you see this article.

Former morning drive jock of KRAK, Sacramento, RICK STE WART has been named to direct the programming of KMPS in Seattle. KMPS is the new call letters of KOL which was recently purchased by the owners of KRAK, JAY HOFFER will oversee the programming of all stations. By the way, while I'm plugging things, a couple of issues from now we'll have a featured interview with Hoffer. it should make interesting reading. Also, KMPS Country will be officially on-the-air September 1.

Country station WYZE in Atlanta, Georgia has hired HUGH [Baby] JARRETT for afternoon drive, in the mid 1950's, he was master of ceremonies for the Elvis Presley road shows, and sang with Presley's back-up group, The Jordanaires... Afternoon drive news anchorman, STEVE YOUNT, has left WIRE, Indianapolis, after two years to join NBC News, Chicago. He'll be based at NBC's all news and information service, WNIS.... After three years with Capitol records, Dallas promotion and most recently West Coast district promotion, MIKE STANGLIN has been let go. He's looking for work and if you can help, he can be reached at [213] 821-7844 or [214] 398-5209.... RANDY PRICE of WHK, Cleveland is looking for work. He's a six year veteran of country radio. Before WHK, Price worked at WDEE in Detroit. His number is [216] 826-4229.

JOBS: KSO, Des Moines has two openings for air talent and newsperson. Tapes and resumes to PERRY ST. JOHN, KSO, Des Moines, Iowa 50317... RON JONES at WHK, Cleveland is looking for an air talent with professional experience. Tapes and resumes to Jones at WHK, 5000 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44103..

OVER 50,000 ATTEND WIRE's "I Like You" PICNIC

Indianapolis — More than 50.000 people packed Indiana-polis American Heritage Park for the WIRE Radio "I Like You Indiana - picnic. Sunday. lIlly 27. The 10 hour event provided

the overflow crowd with con-tinuous country music enter-tainment featuring Mel Tills, Susan Raye, Don Williams, and a host of top Indiana country acts. Eight central Indiana charitable organiza-tions benefited from the picnic too, raising thousands of dol-lars by sponsoring booths at the park containing games. displays. etc. This year's event was free.

A WIRE "I Like You - bumper sticker attached to the en-trant's auto bumper was the only key to admission. The bumper stickers were avail-able from area sponsors. These sponsors manned booths at the picnic to sell and display their merchandise to the large crowd. Even the mayor of Indiana-

polis. Richard Lugar. got into the spirit. Mayor, Lugar pro-claimed, Sunday. July 27. as "I Like You Day - in Indiana-polis during ceremonies held earlier in the week. The event was such a

success. WIRE is already making plans for another such event next year. Already, a majority of this years sponsors are anxious to rejoin the project.

LYNN ANDERSON "I've Never Loved Anyone More"

[Columbia] LYNN ANDERSON once again

proves she has one of the purest voices in Country music today. Fine arrangements coupled with the excel-lent vocal style of MS. Anderson makes this LP one of her finest efforts to date. Strongest cuts are "A Good Old Country Song." a fine uptempo cut with simple, but very commercial, lyrics, and the beautiful ballad "Love Has No Pride." Other recommended cuts: "I'm Growing Up All Over Again" and the very unique "Life's No Bed Of Roses." The singles "I've Never Loved Anyone More" and "He Turns It into Love Again" are featured.

LORETTA LYNN "Home" [MCA]

True LORETTA LYNN fans will enjoy this album which is 500/e mater-ial previously recorded by other artists. These cuts prove to be the highlight of the album. "Another Some-body Done Somebody Wrong Song' "Wrong Road Again," and "Always Wanting You" are all worth a few spins. Best cut on the LP is "No Place Else To Go" another SHEL SILVER-STEIN composition. This could easily be an excellent single for Loretta. "He's Only Everything- was another very strong cut. Also possible, "Bring Some Of It Home."

INSIDE NM An eleven year old boy from Montana has been credited

with saving the life of Hank Williams Jr. Saturday (9th). Dick Willey, a longtime friend of Hank's with whom he had hunted and vacationed for years, gave his eleven year old son Walt credit for saving the country star's life. As Hank slipped and slid down that icy slope for more than 500 feet, the boy followed as closely as the ice field would allow. When the injured Williams finally stopped tumbling and came to rest at the bottom of the mountain, young Willey wrapped Hank's head in his coat to stop or slow the bleeding of his face and head, while keeping Hank on his stomach so he could breath out of his mouth. The boy said the hardest thing throughout the ordeal was keeping Hank awake, conscious and talking. It was almost six hours from the time of the accident until Walt's dad Dick Willey returned with help and got Hank to the Community Hospital in Missoula. A neuro-surgeon and plastic surgeon performed the operation which lasted over seven hours, during which they did a major rebuilding job on Hank's facial structure. Reports say they did a beautiful job, and the doctors expected Hank to be hospitalized for at least three weeks. When asked his impression of the ordeal, Dick Willey said, "There weren't two people down there below that mountain. There were three; Hank Jr., my son Walt, and God."

Tom T. Hall is considering bringing a lawsuit against the National Enquirer, he is infuriated by the August 19th story referring to Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, country writer-singer-actor Eddie Dean, and Tom T. all allegedly having a common opinion that "country music stinks!" And "hate it." Kenton and Rich's statements in recent months are public record, but Tom T. Hall says, "I have no way of knowing if the others were accurately quoted or not but I know I wasn't, and I'm burned up about it!"... Eddie Dean commented here a couple of weeks ago while attending the Western Film Festival, said something about being sorry he had written one of the first "domestic triangle" type songs ("One Has My Name, The Other Has My Heart"), and that he hoped that his song didn't help start the trend toward today's suggestive and sexually oriented song lyrics. But Eddie Dean's life has been Western movies and country music (he, with Hal Southern, wrote "I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven"), and finer, more dedicated country music man I have never known... One thing about his situation; we must be important. As Minnie Pearl said to me once, back in the old days in Nashville (as in the National press) when "Wabash Cannonball" passed the three quarter-million mark in sales, Roy Acuff could have jumped off the fourth floor (or was it the third) of the Merchant's Hotel in Nashville and it would even have gotten in the local paper! Yessir, we've come a long way baby!

The past few weeks we've editorialized, pro and con, about today's song lyrics on my syndicated "Inside Nashville" radio shows, and specified records. Reprimands from many stations re: records we mentioned that they were playing. ("Lay-off" type comments have been keeping our phones hot.) By the way, it's interesting that songs like "Love In The Hot Afternoon, " "Get Up and Close the Door" and "Third Rate Romance" got little or no complaints, but Faron's "Here I Am In Dallas," with just one word "hell" has been a big "take it off" record. Just goes to show. According to that criteria, you can get high, take a "swingby" to a cheap hotel for thirty minutes, and spend the night with somebody other than your husband, but just don't cuss!

POP NOTES BY MIKE KASABO

The "laws" craze continues to build. The movie s theme by John Williams is making big noise everywhere it's played. Now. Dickie Goodman has just released his latest spoof called "Mr. Jaws." It's too early to see any sort of airplay pattern, but considering the impact the flick I'm sure it'll get its share of spins. We note some interest in the flip side of the John Denver

single. It's called 'Calypso' and is being played at KWAV and WIP. The new Captain & Tennille single is "The Way I Want To

Touch You." It was originally released in the fall of last year on a local L.A. based label and got terrific phone action & sales from play at KMPC, KFI and KIIS.

The Richie Family's "Brazil" now reporting hot at WMAL. KDIG.

After just one week of airplay at KNBR. the Esther Phillips single "What A Difference A Day Makes" is reporting heavy phones.

The Morris Albert record is about threei inonths old and continues to pick up more piny. .latest adds a.re KNX-FM and WGAR. Also jumps into the top ten this week.

We note top ten action on Michael Bacon's "Easy Come Easy Go" at KWAV in Monterey.

Arthur Alexander picking up some good initial play with his entry "Every Day I Have To Cry Some" at WSB and WREC.

Roger Williams latest "Theme From "R011erball" starting with good play at WEMP, KFI.

Faith, Elope & Charity already reporting hot at WMAL and went on W1P.

It's been a bunch of years since ole Chester Atkins had a hit single. But the way some programmers are acting. 1975 might mark the return of Super Axe. "The Night Atlanta Burned" went right on WBAI. and WSB.

Mike Horn„ KFI, reports fierce listener reaction to "Why" by Stephen Adams on Warner Bros. Station programmed the record several times at night during one of their talk show segments each time getting. an equal number of pro and con comments. Briefly, the song is a reflection of Richard Nixon's years as President. and imparts the message that Nixon, despite his errors, isn't a bad guy after all. If the phone isn't busy at your station... this is a guaranteed Christmas Tree.

smaller markets move into a major station such as J.J. Jordan who is now at WRKO/ Boston. The radio scene is constantly changing and it's imperative to maintain a per-sonal rapport, with these sta-tions as they are often the initial link on the chain of a hit. I'm glad I started in publish-

ing first as I was educated from the inception of a song, and it has proven to be a tremendous asset for me in promotion. I think being a woman in this business is both an asset and a detriment. It works to my advantage as I find the Programmers and Music Directors will talk to me more easily as I am a female. We talk about their wives or girl friends: if they were ill; if they just bought a Suzuki or if their dog just had puppies. My relationship with these sta-tions is highly personal and many times stations will ini-tially be more receptive to a woman's voice than a mans. The disadvantage of being a female is not with the people you talk to on tho phone, but with the people you work with. You have to work three times its hard and then you don't always got the recogni-tion unless you have a male sponsor. such Its an Al CourY or Bruce Wendell, who will II immunicate your talents and ,ihilities to the upper echelon.

RECORD INDUSTRY NOTES

Continued from page 16 sent out II press release to announce that Charlie Daniels' "Fire On The Mountain" had been certified gold. The release is eyecatching in that it's typed on gold leaf paper and literally gleams... Richard Carpenter is embarking on his first non-Carpenters project by providing the string arrangments for Neil Sedaka's "The Hungry Years" on Rocket... Former music director of KZEW-FM/Dallas has joined the A&M staff as promotion representative for New Orleans as announced by VP Harold Childs... CBS Records Minneapolis branch manager. Ken Yastic, has appointed Mark Westcott to the position of local promotion manager in that market moving from a sales rep spot in Cincinnati... The now Tina Turner album, "Acid Queen." as arranged and produced by Spence Proffer and Denny Manic should be in your hands this week and contains some old Hesse: Enklish Rock 'N Roll...

premeditated playlisting or spur of the moment selection. The truth is that certain records are played more than others. It is of great service to the record companies and the people playing their product to see whore they stand in the scheme of things. In reality, there are two typos of playlists and everybody uses them. They urn the PROJECTED playlist and the RETROACTIVE playlist. The only difference between them in the time that they are prepared in relationship to the actual moment of airplay. That is much simpler and mope logical approach to the science of airplay trucking than the old loose method of mystery and mislabeling.

The reason that too many people with talent and good intentions in our Industry do not succeed, is because the facts that they seek through research and communication are distorted. Somewhere between the hyping of the truth and the hiding of I 1141 truth lies something that will do idol of very serious people alot of good.
