By CARL LaFONG SRflLS & CRDFS If there remained any doubt in the minds of television pro- ducers, the handful that may have been watching, about the feasibtility of presenting rock and roll on television, it should have .been dispelled with NET's recent "Homewood" program with Leon Russell and friends. Every producer who has even considered the possibility of venturing into this area should have seen it. Here was a set that represented an investment of maybe three dollars-an empty studio without flats, patching wires hanging from hooks on the walls, stage carts scattered around. People enjoying themselves were the only props. It was a joyous hour of plain and simple rock and roll music, without frills, out front, relaxed and together. There was no psychedelic lighting, no unnecessary scripting or announcer segues, simply an introduction by host Charles Champlin of the music and its performers, who were then allowed to stand for themselves, the way it ought to be. It worked. Beautifully. In Los Angeles, as in a few other markets, the show was simulcast in stereo. KPPC-FM, the station that has clearly emerged as the most cre- ative in the nation, aired the sound for L.A.'s St CROFTS Chanel 28. (As it did so, the station's nearest SEALS competitor, KMET-FM, tried to retain listeners by broadcasting an exclusive tape of the new John Lennon album. 'KPPC added OOWN HOME insult to injury by taping the KMET "coup" and airing the Featuring Songs & Arrangements Lennon tracks immediately after the "Homewood" broadcast. Created by The perpetrator of this nefarious scheme was the Obscene Steven JIMMY SEALS & DASH CROFTS Mclean, a/k/a Steve Siegal. We'll get to him in a later column.) Produced by The simulcast was spectacular, using a mix from a 16 -track JOHN SIMON recording of the sound recorded during the taping, and it easily tre.beled the impact of the program. It also scored the tremendous on T.A. Records-Album TA-5004 Distributed by BELL RECORDS possibilities of future interplay between the two media, or of the possibilities with television sound alone (if there was something to hear) . For his part Russell, the center of the action from his bench at the controls of a Baldwin grand, reprised his now familiar album material and introduced several new songs from his next. The excitement was built superbly with the most obvious baro- meter singer Claudia Lennear, who skinned down to a bursting halter as the intensity and heat of the music rose. Young mothers with babies gathered around the musicians, rocking with the music, and Russell's chubby traveling secretary Emily worked on a pie, jumping up to dance occasionally and wave her rolling pin. Russell was assisted by his regular sidemen-Chuck Blackwell, Don Preston, Joey Cooper, John Gallie, Jim Horn and singers Miss Lennear and Cathy McDonald-and introduced his compatriot Don Nix and blues singer Furry Lewis. Nix stepped forward to sing the driving "Amos Burke" from his new Shelter album, "In God We Trust," and Lewis offered "Judge Bouchet" and "John Henry." The idea for the show was conceived by net producer Alan Baker with the help of associate producer Taylor Hackford and director Allan Muir. They offered Russell almost complete cre- ative freedom and a part in editing the six hours of video-tape SEALS S CROFTS and sound. The conception from the beginning was based on a THEIR FIRST ALBUM non-concept-the 'coverage of a very relaxed jam session. While Words & Music by it came off a little more tense than planned, it was relaxed enough JIMMY SEALS & DASH CROFTS to include some false starts.

Mexico was No. I, and I am sure that the recording companies will face this great crisis with courage and determina- tion. If not, they will be in big trouble soon. In a country in which talent flourishes constantly, mediocrity is making it very difficult for talented musicians, composers and singers to go ahead.
