There must be a special mold from which come all Western Canadian artists and their managers. Not one have we met that * has been overbearing nor positive that their being on earth was for the reason of attain­ ing stardom. Barry Allen is no exception. * Both he and his manager Al Johnson are perfect examples of how to succeed and * still maintain respect for others. A welcome change from some of the overbearing pushy managers and their equally misplaced charges. Barry Allen is talented as his Capitol ,,,..,.__,._ outing "Easy Come Easy Go" Will prove. It all started back in Edmonton on July 29 , 1945. That's when the Allen family welcomed a new son name of Barry. But it really didn't happen until this blonde haired western Canadian youngster reached a height of 5'10" and weighed in at 160 lbs and just happened to be going to high school. His and guitar picking made him the boy most desirable for a date but he was too busy playing at the dances. His next step turned out to be a big one. He began to sing with the Wes Dakus group, no slouch­ es when it came to winning a popularity contest. As a matter of fact they topped the polls as "Canada's Top Group" (RPM Awards). As a member of the Dakus group he was off to Clovis New Mexico just to play the guitar in a recording session under the direction of Norman Petty. The Petty eagle eye and trained ear soon centered out this bash­ ful Canadian and tabbed him a singing sensation with the world as his market. When Norman Petty signs a personal management contract with an artist you can be sure there must be a wealthy potential talent on the part of the signees. We do remember the stamp of Petty approval on Buddy Holly which of course is now history. So with the guidance of Norman Petty as personal manager watch out for Barry Allen possibly to be the next great talent on the teen scene. Our Our only hope is that Canada recognizes him first although the eyes and the ears of the world are focused on Barry Allen. Proof of this of course is the Dot recording contract for the US and apparent desire of the European market for for Barry Allen releases.
