1 1 LOST IN LOVE uct.It would only hurt us to promote something we didn't believe AIR SUPPLY in, because the next week we would have to go in with one of our Arista 0479 records with shattered credibility. (5th Week) 12 RW: Where do you see the music business going in the next decade? 4 DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH A DREAMER KENNY ROGERS Cossie: There are two distinct musical forms that always were and WITH KIM CARNES/United Artists 1345 6 always will be-R&B and rock and roll. This is what my roots were, 3 3 SEXY EYES DR. HOOK/Capitol 4831 11 what I grew up with, mainly R&B and then rock and roll, but R&B first.

You can have all of the modifications, all the different directions, have groups come up claiming certain parts 5 DO RIGHT PAUL DAVIS/Bang 9 4808 (CBS) 8 of the musical turf, but it always boils down to these two forms. There 7 RIDE LIKE THE WIND CHRISTOPHER CROSS/Warner Bros. are no substitutes for great songs and great arrangements.

This is the entertainment business; there are stories 6 WITH YOU I'M BORN AGAIN BILLY PRESTON & SYREETA/ to be told in song. Rhythm and Blues and rock and roll, that's been Motown 1477 12 the essence of itall. The acts on Record Logic belong in these two 10 18 I CAN'T HELP IT ANDY GIBB & OLIVIA NEWTON -JOHN/ categories and will remain so through the eighties. RSO 1026 6 RW: Do you see music heading into a more Adult Contemporary in 13 LUCKY ME ANNE MURRAY/Capitol 4844 5 direction? ET 15 I DON'T WANT TO WALK WITHOUT YOU BARRY Cossie:I suppose it's a fact that the bulk of the buying population MANILOW/Arista 0501 4 demographically is getting older. Record World obviously recognizes 13 9 ONLY A LONELY HEART SEES FELIX CAVALIERE/Epic 9 50829 12 this population shift and characterizes it by its Top A/C Chart. 14 8 FIRE IN THE MORNING MELISSA MANCHESTER/Arista 0485 12 Itis interesting to me how everyone not only in radio, but in the in 17 GEE WHIZ BERNADETTE PETERS/MCA 41210 5 record industry formulates and categorizes. Many times a Top 40 station will say a recordis too black, or too slow, etc. I wonder if in 20BIGGEST PART OF ME AMBROSIA/Warner Bros. 49225 5 17 11 TOO HOT KOOL & THE GANG/De-Lite 802 (Mercury) 12 "Charlie Brown," "Big Boy Pete," or "ILost Someone" would be 18 12 WORKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU, FORGIVE ME GIRL acceptable on today's Top 40 format-or for that matter "For Your (MEDLEY) SPINNERS/Atlantic 3637 12 Precious Love" by Jerry Butler.I guess what I am trying to say is that hit records do not adhere to the boundaries and categories that we Ea 24 THE ROSE BETTE MIDLER/Atlantic 3656 6 put them in. On the other hand, I can see how the different category 20 16 FIRE LAKE BOB SEGER/Capitol 4836 10 grouping of records provides specific launching pads to catapult the 21 22 WHEN THE FEELING COMES AROUND JENNIFER WARNES/ record into different areas of acceptance. Arista 0497 6 22 21 AFTER YOU DIONNE WARWICK/Arista 0498 7 If A/C means listeners between 18 to 40, I feel the sound that people would most like to hear would be similar to the records that in 27 SHE'S OUT OF MY LIFE MICHAEL JACKSON/Epic 9 50871 3 I've mentioned above. Then again you must ask yourself the ques- 24 25 SHOULD'VE NEVER LET YOU GO NEIL SEDAKA & DARA tion-Do I believein the opinion of a person who grew up in SEDAKA/Elektra 46615 4 Pittsburgh??? ra 32 HURT SO BAD LINDA RONSTADT/Asylum 46624 5 RW: What direction do you see the major record labels taking at present? CHARTMAKER OF THE WEEK Cossie: I feel that the survival of any record company whether it Eli THEME FROM NEW YORK, NEW YORK be large or small is going to directly depend upon its musical crea- FRANK SINATRA tivity and logical business implementations. The days of the majors Reprise 49233 (WB) releasing 15 to 20 singles per week are coming to a close. Because of all the tightening up based on economic necessity, companies are 27 28 THE GOOD LORD LOVES YOU NEIL DIAMOND/Columbia going to be more and more selective. Fewer singles and albums will

1 11232 5 be recorded and more concentration and direction will be given to the acts that are already signed. To say the least, the overall aura LEI STEAL AWAY ROBBIE DUPREE/Elektra 46621 1 29 26 SPECIAL LADY RAY, GOODMAN & BROWN/Polydor 2033 12 of conservatism will prevail for sometime to come. 30 19 LONGER DAN FOGELBERG/Full Moon/Epic 9 50824 12 RW: You talked about the '80s in a general sense. What, specifically, 31 23 HIM RUPERT HOLMES/MCA 41173 12 do you see happening to Record Logic in that time? 32 34 THE SEDUCTION (LOVE THEME) JAMES LAST BAND/ Cossie: I think the future of my company is intertwined with those Polydor 2071 4 of young people that are gifted arrangers and writers and have an 33 33 CATCHING THE SUN SPYRO GYRA/MCA 41180 10 awareness in the studio of how to make meaningful, effective records. 34 35 HOLD ON TO MY LOVE JIMMY RUFFIN/RSO 1021 7 There are two producers in this category that come to mind immedi- 35 37 STARTIN' OVER AGAIN DOLLY PARTON/RCA 11926 6 ately. Both of them are under 25 years old and have been in the business 8, 10 years. One is Bob Clearmountain who works over at 49 IT'S HARD TO BE HUMBLE MAC DAVIS/Casablanca 2244 3 Power Station and has engineered all the Chic records, co -produced 37 29 THREE TIMES IN LOVE TOMMY JAMES/Millennium 11785 David Werner, and mixed Rolling Stones and Roxy Music albums.

He's getting his start Millennium 11786 (RCA) 2 in R&B. Bruce is a sax player who plays a mean solo, a producer, an ED 48 WE WERE MEANT TO BE LOVERS PHOTOGLO/20th Century arranger of strings and horns. In short, he's the complete musician Fox 2446 (RCA) 4 and technician.I think the guy is great. That's where the future of this 40 30 DESIRE ANDY GIBB/RSO 1019 12 business lies.
