Vol.3-No.4 Week of March 22nd, 1965 FRED WHITE AMBITIOUS, DEPENDABLE, HONEST. CANADA'S YOUNG MAN ON THE MOVE!

Fred White has brought a "Madison Avenue Approach" to Canada's music industry. stage. He wanted to do something behind the scenes. RPM encouraged this young man to pioneer in the promotion and You don't have to sing or dance to be a star in the publicity end of the music industry. Record companies do a music business. Behind the scenes are the people who make great deal to promote and publicize records, but sometimes the stars, create the image, promote the talent to become a neglect to bring attention to the act. Bookers sometimes do "household word", publicize the clients and bring further something to create the image for an act, but bios, photos, recognition to the new names on the music horizon. and stories that came into RPM' s offices (from Canada) left Several months ago, a bright enthusiastic neat young a great deal to be desired. Often (when great pressure was man walked into the offices of RPM. He was anxious to be­ exerted on RPM with cries of "unfair") RPM would create a come a part of the Canadian music scene. He had no talent biography for an act with a big record, out of thin air to save that could be recorded, and no asperations to appear on a our face because there was no material available, and count­ less phone calls resulted in name, age, and instrument played only. RPM sent Fred out into the field to see all the people that could assist him in starting out on the right foot. Every­ one was most receptive, and all the necessary formalities were taken care of. NOTHING was overlooked. Fred was in business and looking for clients. To say the response was overwhelming would be an understatement. A Toronto group were his first clients. Overnight, bias, fan photos, 8 by 10 glossies went out. With a new record just released the group wanted their image to fall in line with their appearance on stage and their "sound" and being musicians (not publicists) they were in business to be sold. Fred White was selling them. Overnight White was attaining the same stardom as his clients because of his fresh approach, his youthful en­ thusiasm, his flair and imagination. From all sides came artists that wanted to be publi­ cized and promoted. Hard work has a certain magic that brings results, and what started out to be a pioneer effort turned into a big business for this 20 year old young man from Leaside. It has been RPM's policy to encourage and assist any and all talented hopefuls to get into this business. We hope that one day the music business will be as big in Canada as it is elsewhere in the world, and we (in Canada) have some­ thing to sell to the world. Our music, which for too long has been suppressed by a few who would gain little to keep CANADA from gaining a great deal. It is our hope that there will be many many more ener­ getic and gifted young men like Fred White across Canada who can take their place in the Canadian music business and develop the image Canadian entertainers need. Fred's father, a respected Canadian safety consultant, is encouraging Fred in his newly chosen vocation. Someday it will be as necessary to promote and publicize as it is to produce and publish. Fred White could be starting a whole new aspect of the industry and .... "WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE". "" Dateline Calgary: Easy" by the Staccatos.
