NEW YORK: THE SECOND ANNUAL THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS POLL About this same time last year, the members of the CASH BOX editorial staff, took the liberty of listing their top ten favorite albums of the year. Because that feature received such little response, so few phone calls, and virtually no mail to speak of, we have decided to make it an annual affair. "Ten Best" lists, being fleeting approximations at best, the following is to be viewed as being, to the best of our recall, a purely mathematical report of those albums which have found themselves most frequently on our turntables during leisure moments.

ISAAC HAYES IS A BAD MUTHER (SHUT YO' MOUTH) . . . I'M JUS' TALKIN' ABOUT ISAAC HAYES- "Soul music is the most honest music there is ... it doesn't try to hide any- thing." And who would be a better authority than Isaac Hayes, who has turned his brand of soul music into a series of successes culminating with a recent #1 single and #1 album (both from the MGM film "Shaft"), and a new Enterprise album, "Black Moses," that shipped platinum. Hayes, who considers himself an R&B performer "only by race, and only by background," told us that his new nickname was the idea of a Stax worker. "He saw me in the hall one day, and shouted out 'Hey, Moses, you're leading the people.' In Philadelphia, they introduced me at a concert as 'The Black Moses,' just to see the reaction. Everybody in the audience stood up." Despite the possible connotations of the cross -shaped poster included with the album, though, Hayes takes his burden lightly. "What they meant is that I'm bringing

audiences together. I go over very well in Black markets, but my material is from everybody. One of my favorite writing teams is Burt Bacharach and Hal David- you'll notice that there's something by them on almost all of my albums." We asked Isaac if there was anybody he's not currently involved with that he'd like to be. There's a white guy. He's blind ... Ronnie Milsap. I'd love to produce him. He needs the kind of surrounding where his personality can be allowed to develop. I've been a fan of his for three years. I'd love to work with him. Maybe

someday I can." Hayes was brought in to work on "Shaft" at the suggestion of Stax vice presi- dent Al Bell. "The picture was produced and directed by blacks, and aimed pri- marily for a black audience. They thought I'd have the 'feel' for it." The picture being his first scoring assignment, he looked for some advice. "Tom McIntosh and J.J. Johnson helped me with a lot of things ... showed me a lot of tricks. But it was Quincy Jones who had first given me the confidence to go ahead. He told me he felt that it would be comparitively easy for me, since my music is so dramatic anyway." Isaac worked with a band that was composed primarily of members of his group and some of the Bar -Kays. "I'd worked with them all a lot before, so we communicated really well. We had two days allotted to complete the rhythm tracks. We finished them on the first day with 11/2 hours to spare. The studio people couldn't believe it. But we worked really fast. I'd want to do a retake, and they'd tell me, "don't bother-there'll be action and dialogue on top of the and re- music; nobody'll notice if it's not perfect.' So I went back to Memphis wrote and rerecorded the score for the album." (Cont'd on p. 18)

COUNTRY GREEN-Don Gibson-Hickory 160 Don Gibson applies his personal vocal style to a happy -sad album. Starting off with the bouncy and jubilant title tune which has hot commercial appeal, he slows down for the rest of the album and gets into a blue rather than green mood. In addition to "Guess Away The Blues," "Having Second Thoughts," "What's Happened To Me," and "Things Have Gone To Pieces," Gibson takes a sorrowful stroll down "Heartbreak Avenue." This LP should receive sustained airplay over all country markets.

TOMMY'S PLACE - Tommy Jones - Ovation 14-20 This album should serve as quite an awe- some introduction for 16 -year -old Tommy Jones. He is a virtuoso country guitarist with runs that are as clean as they are fast and taste that would leave many 30 -year -olds envi- ous. On top of all this he has the spirit and enthusiasm of youth.
