HOLLYWOOD-NED DOHENY: PROSPECTING FOR BLACK GOLD Those who haven't meditative time for Alan Watts, or other philosophic har- bingers who tell us rather thoroughly who we are, might as a matter of recourse stick to that more sophist source referred to as Who's Who in America. It man- ages to tell you about who is and who was in just a few short lines. The historic Californian name Doheny, however, is allotted more than just a few lines, for there at least are a few Doheny's who have been included in this volumnious vade mecum. It all began with the Doheny progenitor, Edward Lawerence, who died about 37 years ago. Edward prospected for gold and segued into becoming a petroleum producer, developer of oil districts in California and Mexico. As a result he acquired a fabulous fortune. Not bad for a man who never went higher than high school, graduating at the age of 15. So it must have given Asylum Recording artist Ned Doheny a solid ground when he told his family that he wanted to become a singer, reminding them that his great grandfather never went to college (although Edward did manage in his later years to study law via correspondence school). And though the world has changed considerably since Doheny first drilled his fortune, it might be said that Ned is also prospecting for a black gold that's almost as precious as oil-the certified piece of vinyl that sells a million copies. It hasn't happened yet and his 'SHE' IN PRISON-Capitol recording artist Helen Reddy (left) celebrated debut album has already been out four months, but a very propellant Ned has Women's Right Day recently by performing for the inmates at the Federal the same kind of determination that must have made his great grandfather so Correctional Institute, Women's Division, at Terminal Island, California.

1. Start witl'i the most talented singers you can find. People like Freddy Weller, Barbara Mandrell and Johnny Duncan will do just fine. 2. Use tide best musicians in Nashville (who happen to be the best musicians in the world). 3. Record the best songs you can find. If an artist -Ike Freddy Weller writes songs as good as"The Perfect Stranger,' use that. If you find a song that seems to have been written especially for an artist (ikd'The Midnight Oil"by Barbara Mandrell) you're ahead of the game.After all,Record World said Barbara's new single was going to number ,one. And when you're following up a hit as big as Johnny Duncan s Sweet Country Woman;' follow it up with something even better'.Talkin' With My Lady." Billboard called that new o finny Duncan single "probably his best yet" Freddy Weller, 4. Trust your own judgment. "' l'he Perfect Stranger." 4-45902
