AmericanRadioHistory.Com It was very long ago that Denny Zager and Rick Evans were performing in the lounge of the Holiday Inn at Lincoln, Nebraska. S nging songs they'd written about people and tiings that concerned them as human beings. Like "In the Year 2525." Who'd have dreamed that "2525" would shoot up to r-1 on the charts and beccme an RIAA-Certified Million Seller? Not Denny and Rick. And, frankly, not us. Eut it happened. And now their first aloum is out. Filled with "2525'. and the other songs they've written about people and things that concern them. And every week it's red -dotting the charts. Climbing higher and higher. nd the same thing that happened to single may happen to their album. It's a success story. A real one. A beautiful one. It's the magic of this business you and I are in.

AmericanRadioHistory.Com "Johnny Winter, is the latest and in many ways most spectacular of the young Texas -bred, blues -rooted interpreters of the Negro vernacular music. Even in an era of astonishingly gifted blues players and singers such as this is, Winter must be counted something of a phenomenon. The depth and intensity of his interpretive skills are simply, demonstrably astonishing. There's word for it. Few men are equal on guitar, his chosen instrument, and his mastery of a bewildering variety of idiomatic Negro instrumental approaches, from the crudest of primitive modalities (the hardest of all for a white to bring off) to the most sophisticated extensions of contemporary blues stylings, is nothing less than formidable. And one is hard-pressed to think of anyone with a more authentic, assured and natural command of Negro vocal style than he possesses."

MOLLY (United Artists, BMI) PERMANENT KIND OF LOVIN' (FROM A TEMPORARY MAN) (Glaser, BMI) JIM GLASER-RCA 74-0231. The sad tale of a girl who never had a fair chance to enjoy her youth. Jim does it beautifully.

SEPTEMBER (Chappell, ASCAP) FOR THE LIFE OF ME (Central, BMI) ROY CLARK-Dot 17299. In the reminiscing mood since "Yesterday, When I Was Young," Roy sings this oldie nicely.

I'LL STILL BE MISSING YOU (Pageboy, SESAC) SUNSHINE BRING BACK MY SUNSHINE (Pageboy, SESAC) WARNER MACK-Decca 32547. Headed right for the top is this sentimental singalong. Could be one of Warner's biggest.

THEN THE BABY CAME (Moss Rose, BMI) -Monument 1158. A moving story of marriage and babies. Henson will turn it into a tremendous success.

TRAILING TEARS (Glad, BMI) KILLING ME WITH KINDNESS (Glad, BMI) ARTHUR THOMAS-Musicor 1372. Wistful and compelling reading of a straight down the line country ditty. Should go.

YOU MAY THINK I LOVE YOU (Central, BMI) HOW MANY (Central, BMI) STERLING BLYTHE-Fraternity 1024. Deep -voiced Sterling belts this one out and it might even break into pop markets.

RUEBEN JAMES (United Artists, ASCAP) STRANGE DAY (Show Biz, BMI) CHASE WEBSTER-Show Biz 226. Chase will chase right up country charts with this spunky tale of a country bigotry.
