DANCING THEIR WAY TO FAME: Columbia Records has just released the original Broadway Cast Album of the smash hit, "No, No, Nanette." Tapping away above is Ruby Keeler (center front) the famed dancer/actress who came out of retirement to star in the show. On a specially constructed board built in for the occasion by Columbia, she and other cast members tap out a sequence to "I Want To Be Happy," that memorable Vincent Youmans' tune soon to be the subject of a special Columbia single release.

NEW YORK-THE BEE GEES: TRAFALGAR IS COMING It all began in 1941-with a mining disaster, and suddenly, without warning, it spread to Massachussetts. The Bee Gees are coming! The Bee Gees are coming! And before anybody knew what was happening, the Bee Gees had become one of the most popular groups in the world. But theirs was by no means an instant success story. Born in England, Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb moved to Australia at an early age and began singing and playing together as a group. Though they were extremely popular there, they were never treated as celebrities. They were turned away from many of the major recording studios because "the stars were using them." While is Australia, the Bee Gees released some 15 records, the last of which became a giant single for the group, but by now, it was too late. The Bee Gees had gone back to England, and the rest is history. Having played together as a group for some 13 years, and having had six highly successful albums and a collection of hit singles, the Bee Gees suddenly disbanded. Robin Gibb, the youngest of the three brothers explains the break in these words: "we were together for so long, and all of a sudden we became musically incompatible. It just happened." Barry Gibb explained it this way: "any

group that's been together for 13 years deserves a vacation. I look at the breakup as a two week vacation." The breakup though, was due to a number of combined reasons, and not one in particular. Though the brothers were now separated for the first time in their lives, they continued to record individually. Barry and Maurice got together and recorded the "Cucumber Castle" LP, while Robin released "Robin's Reign." There was very little difference between the two solo albums. Both sounded like the Bee Gees vocally and musically. "I love the Bee Gees. I love their music. It's become a way

of life for me. I can't write or sing any other kind of music," revealed Robin. As for "Cucumber Castle," Barry and Maurice said "it wasn't even a finished album when it was released. "1.0.1.0.," the single cut from the LP didn't even have the final vocal track on it. It was just released anyway." Time passed slowly. There was a noticeable absence of something good in the industry. Apart from the two solo albums, the Bee Gees were forgotten. Then, as suddenly as they split -by some stroke of good fortune, they joined forces once again. Two years older, more aware, and rested-"Lonely Days" was released. The Bee Gees were back. It was a grand reunion. "They're my brothers," said

Robin, "I love them. I missed them. At first I didn't know if they would have me

back. I was worried. I wanted to play with them again. We needed each other

musically. I wouldn't leave the Bee Gees ever again. I just couldn't do it." Mau - rices' delight concerning the group's reunion was somewhat similar: "I was lonely. There was nobody except my wife to share my joy with. Nobody to encourage (Cont'd on p. 40)

HOLLYWOOD-A NEW RELIGION A few weeks back we commented on the "Now" Grove's tentative demise, less than a year after the Ambassador had spent more than a $1,000,000 to renovate the room. We suggested that what Grove stock holders and bookers failed to realize was that there was, basically, very little wrong with the Grove's sheltered palm decor-"what was (and is) urgently required is a recognition of the revolu- tionary 'alterations' in contemporary entertainment." Burt Zell, formerly with CMA and GAC, who formed his own agency (Zell En- terprises) on the coast two years ago, agrees. But maintains there are a number of entertainment areas where the rock rebellion has been ignored. "The big rooms (particularly in Vegas) continue to book, for the most part, the same entertainment they were booking ten to fifteen years ago," says Zell. "There's a large audience of young people who would flock to Vegas if contemporary music was offered. I'm not referring to kids, but young, affluent and intelligent people in their 20's who are into contemporary sounds." These are the same people who showed up in Vegas, says Zell, when Blood, Sweat & Tears played to capacity. "And they were people that Vegas had never seen before."

But the people who book Vegas . . . some of them very bright guys who have done extremely well over the years, are still reluctant to present today's sounds.

"They are going to have to change. And I think they will. Because, after all,

they are businessmen. I believe you won't be able to recognize Vegas two or three years from now." On the agency level, Zell suggests that the big agencies performed a valuable function "in their time." Today, he feels, most of them are facing serious problems, especially in dealing with contemporary acts. "One of the reasons is that the 'hype' has been a substantial part of the agency business as traditionally practiced. And 'hype' is the one item creative performers aren't buying." "The truly creative artist pretty much has his head together these days. He can't be put on-nor does he wish to be. He wants to be dealt with in a straight- forward, up -front manner. And it's not that the big agencies don't want to have this kind of approach-they just aren't geared for it." Zells feels that hiring a few young agents with beards and long hair isn't quite the answer either. "It may look hip up front but it's only a facade. The young performers aren't going for it." "As a young agent, breaking into the business with one of the major agencies,

I was told 'don't judge the client's talents or direction and don't get too wrapped up in his future-don't judge him, book him.' I don't hold with that. I refuse to regard the client as something to be peddled. My clients won't permit it anyway

. . . I respect their needs and their integrity." "If Arlo Guthrie calls and says he doesn't want to work for a year, that's cool. I'm not leaning on him to work. When he's ready, I'm here to line up the dates and advise him on where he should appear . . . I don't think the big agencies would react in quite the same way." Zell feels that money isn't the #1 requirement for most of his clients. "Sure, it's important, but it's usually way down on the list." Zell says that most of his clients would rather play the Troubadour and work for one -tenth to one-twenty- (Cont'd on p. 40) Bee Gees Ry Cooder

With two amazing albums-"Workingman's Dead" (WS 1869) and "American Beauty" (WS 1893)- the Grateful Dead introduced us to a new Dead and a new kind of music which is equally at home on AM or FM, on singles or albums, on jukeboxes or stereo sys- tems. Singles demand culling, though, and culling from material of the consistent caliber of the Dead is hard indeed. But radio feedback has now given us two naturals from the "American Beauty" album: "Truckin" backed with (or forwarded with, depend- Ohio Knox is pretty much Peter Gallway, who sings and write- For ing on your preference) "Ripple" Both have received some of the best songs anyone is apt to hear nowadays. ex- a has close to saturation airplay on FM across the country. ample, "Abigail Archer;' single which sprung boldly forth from Peter's momentarily -forthcoming Reprise album, "Ohio both have been programmed extensively by forward - looking AM stations and each has been delicately Knox" (RS 6435) .

And an exciting syncopated vocal with exciting syncopated lyrics to match, both by the inimitable Arlo Guthrie. It's concentrated rock and roll of the most infectious variety and it would seem to signal Arlo's move into yet another bag, his third in as many years. He established his identity with "Alice's Restaurant" (RS 6267), redefined it with three brilliant folk -rooted albums, "Arlo" (RS 6299), "Running Down the Road" (RS 6346) and "Washington County" (RS 6411), and is now off again into the land of the Big Beat.

Well, we think if a man can't take pride in his business, in a company he scraped, clawed, nurtured and eventually built into a successful operation, he's missing half the enjoyment out of his career. Better operators earn pretty good money, some excellent money. But what good is it all really if you can't broadcast your success to your friends, ac- quaintances and community members? Freud told us years ago that man is driven by the desire for variety and the desire for recognition. Notice the "desire for money" wasn't included? Money is only a means toward variety (which means anything from travel to general entertainment, etc.) as well as a tool to gain recognition.
