One of the surprises of the current record season has been the great strength which The Crows’ waxing of “Gee” has shown in the pop market. Originally a rhythm and blues hit, the disk has now taken off all over the country. Above The Crows surround George Goldner, president of the Rama label on which the record was issued, and Mona, Goldner’s assistant. Goldner also heads the Tico label on which he has another hit, “Baion” with Joe Loco. The 104-selection Wurlitzer 1500A not only leads the field

in its ability to play either 45 or 78 RPM records— it is far

out in front in earning power.

Now availableqt slight extra cost, with Wurlitzer's

extra- ^stimulating Hi-f idelity Sound System, this phono-

iph oj^etfSTby far, thelbest investment and the highest

ng record in phonograph history.

Jgyj. A thrilling deck with a wild beat . . . * * loaded with rhythm and excitement! NEW YORK and CHICAGO: As you walked through the Palmer House in Chicago last week, you could see more music people gathered than has ever appeared in one place before. Top execs from every major diskery and almost every independent of note were there. Artists from all companies were in the rooms talking to ops, greeting them and telling them about their new records. There were so many grand people that it’s impossible to mention them all but they were everywhere from the minute we got on the plane at LaGuardia until the time we left the Palmer House. Among those on our plane were Randy W ood, Moe Gale, Harry Link, Goldie Goldmark, Dewey Bergman, Bill Stegmeyer, Louis Boorstein, Paul Cohen and more. At the huge Cash Box KEEP ’EM party held on the 23rd floor of the hotel on Sunday night, literally hundreds of visitors passed through

and it was 5 o’clock in the morning when the last guests, Dave Miller and Jules Malamed, said goodnight. It was great party—if we must say so ourselves. The banquet on Tuesday night was the highlight of the whole affair. Never in our memory has there been such a gathering of recording stars from every company. The very top names in the business were there to entertain the ops and the show couldn’t have turned out better. Mahalia Jackson stunned the audience with her magnificent rendition of “I Believe”; SHORT! and Eddie Fisher’s teaming up with Eddie Calvert for “Oh My Papa” was another highlight. Tony Bennett EDDIE FISHER received an ovation as well as Eddy Arnold. All the artists did themselves proud. One final word, and that is about the display rooms. Victor had an outstanding one. It was dark, air conditioned and “Hot.” BMI had a great attraction in its peep show. Benida’s honky tonk set-up was another stopping point. The Cash Box room was a central meeting place for almost everyone walking through. Decca and Coral had top execs greeting the guests. The same was true for Capitol and Columbia. The new Label “X” and Groove had a fine cocktail party in their suite on EPIC BQC9 Monday. Mercury had the booth next to The Cash Box. And Dave Miller’s Essex room was jumping, naturally.

Tommy Duncan of Los An- geles, Calif., has just recorded his first number for Coral. Johnny Thompson, Country A&R rep and Sales Manager for the Southern Division Office, Cincinnati, has just completed a tour of the Southwestern states and was in Chicago for the convention. Hear that Hawkshaw Hawkins (RCA Victor) made a guest appearance not too long ago on the Circle Theatre MINNIE PEARL Hillbilly Jamboree. Hawk’s latest is “Watin’ For My

Baby.” . , . Johnnie and Jack, who first came out with the “Latin-tempoed” style on their recordings, are departing from this style at the moment to team up on an old tune that is currently creating a lot of attention pop-wise. The Johnnie and Jack unit from Grand Ole Opry, man- aged by Frankie More, have just completed touring Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. Starting April 18th, the group will begin a tour of the West Coast, and the package will include Little Jimmy Dickens, and Dell Wood!

Ray’s cur- davis sisters rent release is “Stealin’ Sugar” and “Maybe It’s You Sweetheart, Maybe It’s Me,” on Excello, and is now in the hands of the deejays. Looks as if Jim Reeves continues to build with his fine style of singing on the Abbott label. Jim has a new one out that is creating some advance talk that seems mighty good, title being “Echo Bonita” and “Then I’ll Stop Loving

You.” We mentioned a few issues back that young Bobby Wright, (Decca). . . . Country Music’s new child star would stir up a lot of attention before too long . . . well, it seems that the boy is living right up to his expectations. Young Bobby sings with a solid beat and should be with us for awhile. Currently, his first release is “You’d Better Not Do That” and “My Mama Didn’t Raise No Foolish Children.” While Hank Snow is set for a grand opening in Miami, Florida at the Olympia Theatre March 17th, Ernest Tubb is playing in the extreme end of the country . . . opening at the Casino Theatre in Canada.

Cosse, manager of Martha Carson has the artist booked consistently and Martha’s current record, “Lazarus” and “Bye and Bye” appears to be another big one for her!

AGREE CALIFORNIA CLIPPINGSI LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES—As this column is being written the MOA Convention is taking place at the Palmer House in Chicago. It will be interesting to see what new developments will come out of this great event. It certainly has stirred up more interest among the operators and the music field than any other convention of its kind ever held. Those who were unable to go to the show will all be anxiously awaiting first hand reports from their many friends

who were able to attend. . . . Paul and Lucille Laymon will probably be the first ones to return to Southern California with the latest information about the meet. Meanwhile Ed Wilkes, Charley Daniels and Jimmy Wilkens hold down the home front over at the Laymon establishment. There’s an old saying that when the boss is away the boys will play but this certainly doesn’t hold true with the Laymon crew. Caught N.

Even Russell Early was rushing around doing thisa and thata. Can truthfully report that Paul and Lucille don’t have to worry. Things are well

seems to find time to give Lyn a helping hand whenever he needs it. . . . We

hear that Fresno operator Orville Morgan has moved to new quarters. . . . Other notes from the San Joaquin Valley:—Bert Hoff, Visalia, has gone into partnership with Harvey Mourlam. The two were recently in town buying equipment. Joe Van Workum recently negotiated a deal with Russell Hendricks, 1 st in SAFETY Hanford, to take over his route.

This has been the most hectic week since “the old time coin machine conventions.” An this was said by more than one coinman who attended the MOA’s 4th Annual Convention. They came from everywhere. By Monday evening the corridors on the 8th floor were so jammed (some estimated the crowd at “over 3,000”) that a great many simply fought their way to their suites to get away from the ‘crush’. And this was really a “crush.” But none will ever forget the banquet. Or the tremendous array of talent. Someone said that, “If we had to pay these stars to sing here it would have cost over $100,000.00 for the evening.” Regardless of the price, none will ever forget “LeRoy,” of that grand team of Curry, Byrd & LeRoy. Nat and Lillian Cohn will swear to this day that LeRoy was just a “drunk.” And that his heckling would never be recognized as that of a professional. This is, without a doubt, one of the very finest of the heckling acts ever presented to the American public. And tho many, many bows and much applause to all the fine entertainers—none deserve a greater hand or more applause than “LeRoy” (who goes under the name of Charley West when working at a table) and the grand, grand heckling job he did to entertain the crowd.
