VOLUME XIX -NUMBER 41 JUNE 28, 1958 While He was on his honeymoon trip in San Francisco, Morty Palitz, Vice-President and General Manager of Jubilee and Josie Records, discovered a young singer who, he felt, had the potential to turn out hit records. His name was Bobby Freeman and not only did he sing well, but he also wrote his own material. It’s turned out very quickly that Palitz’ faith in 18 year old Bobby was well placed for his first disk on the Josie label, “Do You Wanna Dance”, zoomed up in the charts and established him as a nation- wide recording star. www.americanradiohistory.com — 1540 Broadway, New York, N.
