It’s a clever side. Her first two got good attention. This will too. If she gets a good vehicle for her fourth, 6he could become a top star. GOODBYE BABY - Solomon Burke (Atlantic) A 'boss’ record. This is the type of thing his fans want. Even if you don’t hear it, play it. You won’t be sorry. IT’S OVER - Roy Orbison (Monument) It has the ’hit’ sound. I ’m sorry to say that it will more than likely put a finish to the David Box record, which was built on his sound. NOT FADE AWAY - Rolling Stones (London) Top five request at WFUN-Miami. From England, where it’s top five. ROMEO AND JULIET - Reflections (GW) This record will be a top twenty item nationally, within the next six or seven weeks. Play it now, or wait until you're forced to go with it. That’s your decision. JOSE HE SAY - Linda Laurie (Keetch) Bob Reich-WEKR-Fayetteville says this is the novelty of the year. It’s top five for Fred Frelantz-WROV-Roanoke. HURT BY LOVE - Inez Foxx (Symbol) If I were limited to only a yes or no choice, then I ’d say, ’yes* this will be her biggest since "Mockingbird." MONEY - Kingsmen (Wand) Frank Jolle-WMAK-Nashville says it’s as hot as their first. Action in almost all areas, but not of quite that strength.

Strong R & B number that will spread with time. CASTLES IN THE SAND - Stevie Wonder (Tamla) You won’t believe me on this one. It was top ten in Atlanta and is in the fifties on the national charts. All I can say is that it’s about as bad a ballad as "Fingertips" was a rocker. One either programs music or records Don’t be a critic. Music is for the ’good music’ stations and records are for top forty. TODAY - New Christy Minstrels (Columbia) One of the most missed sides of the last couple of weeks. Go back and give it a complete listen. SLIP IN MULES - Sugar Pie De Santo (Checker) The Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Not top ten anywhere, but moving well. UH OH - Eddie Jefferson (Stax) Billy Gene-WAUG-Augusta jumped on this almost three weeks ago and now it turns out to be one of the hottest sides in town. The more I hear it, the more I like itI TALL COOL ONE - Wailers (Golden Crest) Action for Larry Hart-KOTN-Pine Bluff and Frank Jolle-WMAK-Nashville. Side is several years old, but is currently number one or two in . You needn't go with this just yet, but be aware of it. SHY ONE - Shirley Ellis (Congress) Sounds like the hit Connie Francis has been looking for for so long. My sixth sense says this is a hit. MOTHER NATURE - Dickie Lee (Smash) In my opinion, Bob White-KILT is one of the sharpest hit pickers in the South. His market, Houston, is a strange one, because not all of the big items in it spread. Some do....but, the point is just this....Houston breaks a good many records. This is a top five item at KII/T. I ’ve had other reports on it, but nothing this big. WHENEVER HE HOLDS YOU - Bobby Goldsboro (UA) So beautiful it scares me I His last one broke first in and around Virginia, where they are quick to hop on this as a pick. NEW GIRL IN SCHOOL - Jan & Dean (Liberty) Suggest you play this side, if you are not already. Jumps to #26 in one week for Randy Scott-WCAW-Charleston, West Virginia. COTTON CANDY - A1 Hirt (RCA) This is the side that is quickly establishing itself as a powerhouse follow-up. ‘ •' Monday, April 6, 1964 -4- Number Fifty MY GIRL SLOOPY - Vibrations (Atlantic) Indications are that this is set to climb nationally. Has a good sound for the South, so don't miss it. Requests are good at WQXI-Atlanta. GUESS WHO - Sunglows (Sunglow) Seems headed for big things in Dixie. It’s been gaining steadily in Texas and I have reports of activity in Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee. Mel Mixon-WBYG-Savannah prefers the cover version, but this is the one with the track record. , TAKE ME AS I AM - Roy Clark (Capitol) Top grade performance of a top notch song, Look for this to happen big in many markets throughout Dixie. I WISH I KNEW WHAT DRIBS TO WEAR - Ginny Amell (MGM) Top five request at WMBR-Jackson­ ville. That's good with the Beatles still getting mor e than their share of the calls. OUR FADED LOVE - Royaltones (Mala) Don't lose this.An i nstrumental you should have on your list. ALBUM PROGRAMMING GLAD ALL OVER - The Dave Clark Five (Epic) The select ion I like best is a top five phone request for Bob Reich-WEKR. Album is bound to be a top ten seller, so best you plan to play something from it. Don't fight it. BEST:"Do You Lov e Me." ENCORE OF GOLDEN HITS OF THE GROUPS - Platters (Mercury)They'v e been cold a long time, but they have many fansand turn in some warm efforts on this. BEST" " Crying In The Chapel." GOOD: "P.S. I Love You." SWEET AND SOUR TEARS - Ray Charles (ABC) I'm getting more and more reports of top re­ quests activity on "A Tear Fell." As far as I know, there are n o present plans for a new single by the artist.But, my guess is that this number woul d be one helluva side if itwere released. MEET (Gordy) One of the best ofits kind.When the single begins to cool for you, be sure to give this some attention. BEST: "Chec k Yourself". THE SECOND BEATLES ALBUM (Capitol) You should have this one by now.Ifyou've already been playing several of these side3and found the interes t inthem fading, then be quick to program those that are new to your audience. In some markets six orseven of the eleven will be fresh."Long Tall Sally" is one of the most excitin g sidesI have ever heard by anyone. "Devil In Her Heart" is a top five r equest at WFUN-WQXI-WMAK- WNOX. The following long play have all been reviewed previously. Consult back issues for the BEST, GOOD and FAIR selections. The listing below doesnot reflect the popularity or newness of the product, We only recommend album programming when it is not in conflict with a new or hit single by the artist, And it is through such a process that a great many of today's singles are bom .
