It started-like many another R&B crossover hit-in Detroit. Ronnie Dyson's "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely" went Top -5 at WCHB and WJLB.Then CKLW and WCAR picked it up for Top -40 play and the explosion began. And it's still going on. Seventeen more major stations are in on it solidly, in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Little Rock, Dayton, Louisville, Jackson, Indianapolis, Richmond, and Annapolis. And the list grows daily.

Not hard to believe considering all of the fans the group has acquired in their various stages throughout the years. It's not going too far out on a limb to predict that Kim Simmonds and The New Savoy Brown are going to be around for a while, a good long while. Whenever talent is apparent as it is to the degree in every Savoy incarnation there has been, well, it's just hard to keep a good band down. Savoy Brown are one of those groups that's always going to be on top of things and we can all thank Kim Simmonds for always making it work. arty goodman

Marc's manager, Al Schlesinger, whom he regards as the "gentle knight," was able to negotiate a new record deal with Mauri Lathower, and Wirtz became a Capitol artist. His new album is called "Hothouse Smiles" and contains words straight from a Hans Christian Anderson lexicon like "kings and queens," "magical moonstones," and a "ballerina Swan." This interviewer didn't become familiar with the name Marc Wirtz until he was introduced to one of Silverlake's most legendary residents called Swan. Photographer Jerry Fielder had showed this reporter some remarkable shots he had taken of a former ballerina and follies dancer. It was later learned that Wirtz had composed a song about this magic child of 83 with his writing partner, Melinda Field. Swan is a splendid example of one of Marc's fantasies that really exists. If you're ever lucky enough to drive by Swan's hillside dwelling you might see her offering friends golden peaches as she gracefully tries to balance in pair of high heels she hasn't worn in years. Wirtz, who is of German ancestory, doesn't ever contend with the expression of his native land known as Weltschmerz. The reason is quite obviously that Marc is one of those rare artists who knows how to transform the ideal state into a real one. Music lovers should be listening to Marc Wirtz happily ever after. ron baron Coming Next Week:
