AmericanRadioHistory.Com In an album of high points, the pace is set by the current single, Record World "Hot Stuff" (5:13), in medley with the title track. A brand new per- sona emerges, Summer as streetwalker, singing with a savagery and toughness that we've only heard hints of. "Bad Girls" (4:57) carries the same semi -rock rhythm and a chant hook, "beep -beep, toot -toot," that allows lots of deejay flexibility at the coda and which will surely fill the space that "say whaat?" occupied recently in our collective consciousness. Summer exercises herself admirably with every change in mood and message, playing, for example, with the teenage tone at the top of her voice for "Love Will Always Find You" (4:01) and Disco File following it with her rich full -chest voice on "Walk Away" (4:17).

Very well constructed, and Frederick Knight is well on his way to establishing himself as a producer with lots of good ideas. Two reappearances round out the week's most important releases: they're particularly artful reworkings of already familiar songs. Mad- leen Kane's "Cheri" album (Warner Bros.) extends her "Forbidden Love" into a three -song suite that sustains itself very well, with Jim Burgess' mixing help, modulating energy through two new songs and using a percussion break both as an intermediate climax and as a unifying hook that sets us up for the reprise of "Forbidden Love" concluding the seventeen minute -plus medley. It certainly was wise torelease the twelve -inchfirst,and a furthercredit to Burgess and producers Michaele, Lana and Paul Sebastian, to note how per- fectly they formed both versions.

Maybe you have a great deal of confidence in what you've done for the rating book and believe your radio station is going to do well. Then start planning the rating party-get the prices for dinner at the best place in town, set up the wine list, make sure the champagne is to your liking and is cooling for that moment when the great results come in. Now, if you're in the middle of all of this and not quite sure what the outcome of the book will be, then I suggest you have the number of the pizza place on hand, plus a case of imported beer, and the telephone number of a good doctor.

LLLtL LL.C_ It's been four years since Melba Moore has performed in Los An- geles, and when she returned for a one -week stint at the chic Studio One, she became the toast of Hollywood & Vine with seven nights of "standing room only" performances before audiences that included Linda Hopkins, Sylvester, Freda Payne, and Ben Vereen, who reserved a table for eight at every show. L.P. FROM L.A.

He and Rodgers set aside a four week period in which they could complete 80 percent, if not all the work necessary, for a new release. "It was similar to what happened with 9 Black Oriented Album Chart Sister Sledge," recalled Rodgers.
