Having already proven himself as a singer with­ out peer, a great actor, a fine comedian and skilled movie pro­ ducer, he has taken time out to tackle still another difficult en­ deavor conducting a full orchestra. This was accomplished with his usual success.

At the start of this project, Sinatra was so impressed by a group of poems written by Nor­ man Sickel that he felt they would inspire fine musical com­ positions based on the central theme, color. Each of the repre­ sented colors was assigned to a composer to be interpreted mu­ sically. Composers selected were Victor Young, Gordon Jenkins, Billy May, Jeff Alexander, Alec Wilder, Nelson Riddle, Elmer Bernstein and Andre Previn.

The twelve resulting compo­ sitions were then conducted by Sinatra and assembled into a new album by Capitol, “Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color.” HEY PLUGGERS!

Then a guy named Tom Edison got into the act by inventing a recording machine. A little dog heard his master’s voice over t Edison’s machine and set up his own recording company. From Brief History of Popular Music then on it’s been dog-eat-dog. 750,000 people all discovered A FEW million years ago, a love-sick caveman discovered that "moon” rhymes with "June,” and began suing each other that "moon” rhymes with "June.” Thus was born the first for copyright infringement. One guy sang a song about popular songwriter. The song laid a bomb with the cavegirl shortnin’ bread the first singing commercial. Another guy for whom it was written, but broke well in several caves known made a record that sold 150,000 copies and this was the first as "the sticks.” Of course all this was B.A. (before ASCAP) million-selling record. A nearsighted vocalist came to a record so the young songwriter found that everyone was grunting his session without his glasses. He couldn’t see to read the music tune without paying any royalties. He didn’t mind, though, so he made up his own melody. He was the first song stylist. because he figured he had to start someplace. Editor’s note— The author of this piece is currently playing jazz Then a guy in a nearby cave got a bright idea. He found in a waterfront dive. In his spare time he is trying to find a rhyme out that the songwriter talked in his sleep, so he crept into the for the word "orange." He feels that this will revolutionize the cave one night and took down several choice ditties that the music business. songwriter was humming. He accidentally got a few of the snores into the manuscript. This was the first novelty song. Then the sharpy crept back to his own cave and set himself up in business as the first publisher. He had to chisel each piece of sheet music out of stone. There are those who main­ tain that publishers have been chiseling ever since. The guy charged four dinosaur teeth per copy, and made a fortune. The poor songwriter was later discovered playing Neanderthal jazz in a waterfront dive, without a dinosaur tooth to his name. The publisher meanwhile expanded and hired a guy to carry the stone tablets around to all the neighboring caves, pitching them to the top grunters. He was the first song plugger. One day the publisher got hold of a particularly hot song and was really raking in the dinosaur teeth, when he heard a big com­ motion. Forty-four guys were outside his cave and they all claimed to have written the tune. He managed to settle out of court, but lost a lot of teeth in the process.

For the next few million years, history just kept repeating Gene Vincent and his Blue Caps, still riding high with their click disk itself. Some guy would discover that "moon”’ rhymes with "Be-Bop-A-Lula," have a new release on Capitol which shows signs of "June,” someone else would cash in and so on. All the being at least as big. Tune is titled '’Race With the Devil" and was penned by Vincent and Sheriff Tex Davis, co-authors of their previous hit. ■ Cont. next page)------14 15 THE KING AND I—In High Fidelity, FOUR FRESHMEN AND FIVE TROM- FRESHMEN FAVORITES-The Four the exciting recording of the BONES-The talented Freshmen, Freshmen —Favorite recordings score from the film starring dynamic Pete Rugolo arrange­ that have established the Fresh­ Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner ments, skilled instrumentalists, men as one of modern music’s \ W 740 combine to create top notch con­ most popular vocal groups.
