MICKEY GILLEY HAS JUST MADE COUNTRY CHART HISTORY:

"True Love Ways" went to #1 on July 14 and "Stand By Me" went to #1 on August 4. Two Number One records by one artist in a period of just three weeks is a chart first, not to mention the rarity of two records in the Top 5 at the same time. We are justifiably proud of this achievement and we wish to especially thank Joe Casey of CBS Records and Nick Hunter of Elektra Records, and their respective promotion teams for their prodigious efforts to the cause. We're havin' some fun now.

Mr. Lee Zh i to Editor-in-Chief/Publisher BILLBOARD MAGAZINE 9000 Sunset Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90069

Dear Lee:

I am delighted to learn that Billboard Magazine is publishing a Special Issue, October 11, 1980, devoted to the Bicentennial celebration of the City of Los Angeles. Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to declare this Special Issue the official music industry publication for this historic event.

The Bicentennial will be celebrated in conjunction with the Third Annual Los Angeles Street Scene Festival, October 11 and 12. I have asked Steve Gold and Jerry Goldstein to serve as Honorary Co- Chairmen of the Festival's Entertainment Committee. They are organizing the major musical portion of the program and will be working with other entertainment industry leaders such as you.

The City is grateful to you and to Billboard Magazine for issuing the official publication of the Bicentennial celebration. I am confident that this issue will tell your global readership of the great contributions our City has made to the music /entertainment industry of the world. This is certain to prove why Los Angeles is indeed the entertainment capital of the world.

Sincerely,

TOM BRADLEY MAYOR
