A Division of Loews Inc. NEW YORK: , 1540 Broadway N. Y. 36. N. Y. JU 2*2000 Veteran instrumentalist-cleffer-song stylist, Ray Charles, is currently ‘red hot’ in the disk dept. Ray is causing loads of chart excitement with his 2-part “Rock House” instrumental and his “Ray Charles At Newport” LP. Now, according to Atlantic’s Gary Kramer, deejay reaction in New Orleans, has forced out a single on “The Right Time”, a condensed version of the tune from the album. The diskery has also released an entirely new, rock ’n roll version of Ruth Brown’s r&b classic, “Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean”. The thrush chirps a newie, tagged “I’ll Step Aside”, on the flip. The label’s Bill Spitalsky chimes in that there has already been fantastic tells that reaction to the new “Mama”. . . . Over at Ember Doug Moody us the line is ‘kicking up a sales storm’ with two new slicings and an old one. One of the new efforts is Lee Allen and his Band’s ‘funky’ waxing of “Short Circuit”. The disk, tapped from Allen’s “Walkin’ With Mr. Lee” package, was titled “Funky” in the early pressings. However, notes Doug, deejay reception was great for the tune itself but not for the title—and so the label has reverted to the original “Short Circuit” moniker. The other new one, which Moody notes, has shown terrific signs right off the bat is Dean & Jean’s “Too Young To Know”. Doug adds that the Five Satins’ “In The Still Of The Night” constantly remains on Ember’s best seller lists and it looks like its heading toward

trip to San Francisco this week. . . . One of the newest and fastest growing young men to enter the entertainment world is Ed Waller, who, since his first adventure into Hollywood in June of ’56, has climbed from song writer to THE BLACKEYED GYPSY public relations promoter, artist, publisher, and now producer. . . . Mamie Van Doren may do a session for Dot the last part of November, her filming MGM K12732 schedule permitting. Gale Storm, whose heavy filming sked on “Oh Susanna”, leaves her very little spare time, found a couple of spare hours recently to plug her new Dot biscuit, “Happiness Left Yesterday”, with the fans at Martin’s Music Shop in Culver City and J.

Another Dot star is actress Joanne Gilbert who sings on the Dot ‘fantasy’ LP. “The Nina, The Pinta And The Santa Maria.” “/#’* What's in THE CASH BOX That Count —IISTER1SATIOISALLY” www.americanradiohistory.com ’

Nielsen Named Urania Sales Head

BELLEVILLE, N. J. — William Nielsen has joined Urania Records as director of sales, it was announced last week by Sieg Bart, president. Nielsen replaces David Rothfeld, who recently joined the Korvette stores as record buyer, and merchandiser. Prior to his appointment as the new Urania executive, Nielsen was with Columbia Records for 12 years. He started with Columbia as a district manager in the Midwest and advanced to national sales manager for the company’s subsidiary, Okeh Records. In 1953, when Columbia developed Epic Records, Nielsen was named its director of- sales and general manager. Bart stated that Nielsen’s wide experience in the record business fits neatly into Urania’s expansion plans for the coming year, when the company expects to sign at least a dozen Broadway and Hollywood names under exclusive contracts in addition to continuing its program of classical releases.

Paul Livert Exits Seeco For Personal Management

NEW YORK—Paul Livert, formerly A & R for Seeco Records, announced last week that he has left his post with the Indie diskery to concentrate on his personal management business and to function as an independent producer and free-lance A & R man. Livert manages the La Plata Sex- tet, an instrumental-vocal quartet, known as We Four, the Trio Martino, and songstress Gloria Lynne, recently signed with Raymond Scott of Everest. Sid Siegel, president of Seeco Rec- ords, stated, “We are sorry to see Paul Livert leave and wish him the best of luck in his own office.’’

Trio

CLEVELAND, 0.—Pete Myers, dee jay of WHK-Cleveland, looks as though he is having some trouble listening to this group and, of course, he is only kidding because assembled here are three of the hottest young talents in the business, left to right, Donnie Owens, Frankie Avalon, and Bobby Darin. Pete was just curious to find out how they would sound as a trio. Don’t let his facial expression mislead you—they sounded great.
