February 10, 1964 -4- Nimber Forty Two REVIEW AND COMMENT (Cont'd.) ALWAYS IN MY HEART - Los Indios Tabajaras (RCA) Thei r last record took six months from start, to off and running. Don't think this will take as long or be as big. Pick it, play it,but watch it closely. May do better for the g ood music stations. Could come back to you in three or four months, just like "Maria Elena." THE PATRIOT GAME - Kingston Trio (Capitol) It's from their latest album. Could be a big left-field item. Strong lyrics. Flip may be a factor . STARDUST - Nino Tempo & April Stevens (Atco) Their last single was up and down the charts in eight weeks. If this one takes off as fast, it could repeat the pattern. But, it's a great side, so pick it. Play it. But watch it carefully. WHITE ON WHITE - Danny Williams (UA) Action reported by Joe Boyle-KAOK-Lake Charles, Jay Cook-WHBQ-Memphis and Howard Anderson-WEED-Rocky Mount, NC. May be more than a turn­ table hit. Good record. SOUL SERENADE - King Curtis (Capitol) Top seller in Atlanta. Broken first by Burke Johnson-WAOK. Get on this. It's a strong adult winner. WORDS WRITTEN ON WATER - Avons (Groove) One of three records on the song. But, it's the only version available as a single. With good play, this can be. ALBUM PROGRAMMING One more timeI Don't give the albums away at the hops or as contest prizes. Keep the ones we review. A good percentage of today’s single hits are cuts from current albums. You'll be first on a hot item if you pay attention. Last time I'll sell you on the value of advance info. THE NEVER ENDING IMPRESSIONS (ABC) Don't bet that their next single will not be from this tough set. One or maybe both sides of the follow-up to "Talking About My Baby" will come from this album. BEST: "Sister Love." GOOD: "Girl Don't You Know Me." NEED TO BELONG - (Vee Jay) Both sides of his newest release are fron this one. See what I mean! BEST: "Message To Martha." GOO D::"Giving Up On Love." FREDDIE SCOTT SINGS (Colpix) The side we recommended last week to you _is now available as a single. BEST: "Where Does Love Go." THERE I'VE SAID IT AGAIN - Bobby Vinton (Epic) Have you picked his next release from his album. It's in iti Play it now and shout exclusive. BEST: "My Heart Belongs To Only You." GOOD: "My Foolish Heart" and "Unchained Melody ." FORGET HIM - Bobby Rydell (Cameo) Only one side knocks me out. It’s also been done by the Tymes and the Avons. But, Bobby has the best version on the song. It could be a strong single. BEST: "Words Written On Water." HEY LITTLE COBRA - Rip Chords (Columbia) Package is strong as is and will not need to give birth to another single to give it longevity at the retail level. Mostly a collection of their earlier half-hits. BEST: "She Thinks I Still Care." THE GOOD TIME SINGERS (Capitol) Fresh new folks soun d. The first group to come up with a top notch album without the help of Milt Okun. TV exposure will make this one hot. BEST: "Rock Island Line." GOOD: "Freedom Calling." YOU'RE NO GOOD - Betty Everett (Vee Jay) HeyJ This ga l is really good. If the title song wasn't a hit for you, that’s too bad. You'll have to expose her talents with her second single, which is from this album. BEST: "Shoop Shoop Song." Also: (see previous issues for BEST and GOOD selections). BORN TO SING THE BLUES-Brook Benton (Mer) SOMEWHERE-Tymes (Par) REFLECTING-Chad Mitchell (Mer) SERENDIPITY SINGERS (phi) BORN TO WANDER-Four Seasons (Phi) APOLLO SATURDAY NIGHT (Atco) TALK BACK-Johnny Tillotson (MGM) GREAT SOUL TUNES-Barbara Lewis (Atl) FUN IN ACAPULCO- (RCA) LOVE HIM-Doris Day (Col) WITH A SONG-Little Stevie (Tam) K2NGSMEN IN PERSON (Wan) OUT OF UMITS-Marketts (WBJ I REMEMBER BUDDY HOLLY- (Lib) FOR YOU-Rick Nelson (Dec) GOLDEN OLDIES-Shirelles (See) HOT ROD HITS (Cap) 500 MILES-Bobby Bare WONDERFUL WORLD OF (Col) DRAG CITY-Jan and Dean (Lib) NEWS AND NOTES Newest addition to our list of stations is KOLE in Port Arthur, Texas. Tommy Thompson will supply the info. Bob Lamberth is the new AM man at WMUZ-Montezuma, Georgia. Dean Griffith WPGC-Washington will be introducing to an audience in the nation's capitol.
