"Hey, man, go write some tunes."

Being impressed with the humble yet masculine approach to life of some students he met from Tialand motivated Withers to deal with a situation void of American male ego. Marrying a melody line influenced by listening to Tia music with the blues, lyrically dealing with a situation where he foregoes his ego and admits to losing. Withers says "ain't no sunshine when she's gone."

We quote directly from Bill Withers, "It matters not where I come from in relation to the world, as long as the world and I arrive at a common point at a common time."

NEW YORK-HOWCOME NOBODY TAKES THE BEACH BOYS SERIOUSLY, HUNH? HOWCOME? For those apt to be offended by the title, let me say that what I mean is that the Beach Boys have never been lacking in fans, but only in critical acclaim. Ever since Van Dyke Parks stopped collaborating with Brian Wilson in 1969 at the time of "Heroes And Villains" as a follow-up to "Good Vibrations,'L the general consensus of critical opinion was that, yes, the Beach Boys made harmoni- cally very fine music, but music that was, in its own way, very bubblègummy. To my mind, nothing in the years subsequent to "Pet Sounds" came anywhere near to the miraculous music put down there and even the "Smiley Smile" (which by the way contains both "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes And Villians") LP, which is highly thought of, does nothing for me. As a matter of fact, somehow feel it's an inferior product to the "Wild Honey" album, which is almost entirely overlooked as a Beach Boys Album, if you know what I mean. In many ways "Wild Honey" is the group's most adventurous endeavor- being entirely experimental as far as the Beach Boys were concerned. I mean what business is it of theirs to try recording an album of R&B songs? How does this group of guys who sound more like an angelic choir than a rock group have the audacity to do this? Hah? By all rights they should have fallen flat right on their silken vocal chords. But in actual fact, the album is wildly successful-at least from a musical standpoint-and that is a wonder, indeed! The reason "Wild Honey" is successful is that the Beach Boys didn't go after an R&B sound but rather let the R&B sound come to them. Yet even in allowing this one beat to perme -te the songs in the album they were stepping out onto I think a shakey limb. And, while I don't have access to Capitol's sales figures, it would be safe to assume that "Wild Honey" is far from the Beach Boys' best selling album. and even aside from Therefore I understood the purpose in such an album, that, felt it was a good one, yet still within the context of the Beach Boys world, "Pet Sounds" stood as a monumental achievement in their career. Part involve- of it's charisma as a musical work stems from the fact that Brian's ment within it, as an entity, seemed absolutely intense and because of that, the album has the undefinable quality that makes superlatives ineffectual; that makes it an inspired work. Somehow, after "Pet Sounds" Brian seemed to lose interest in turning out career Beach Boys Albums, and that's why 'PS' stood out so starkly in the It landscape of the group: there really was no developmental follow-up to it. decided was as if the group, as a whole, were sort of fooling around until Brian per- he was together enough to pick up where he left off. Certainly whatever by the sonal problems Brian had during this time were infinitely compounded abortive Brother Records creation with Capitol and the fact that Brian's producing was hampered because he could hear in only one ear. Consequently you'll find that all the old Beach Boys albums through "Friends" the Capitol LP's, as a matter of fact-are mixed in what essentially -all very early amounts to mono.

HOLLYWOOD-SOCIETY'S CHILD, COMING OF AGE enough "It's a marvelous song, called 'Society's Child,' written astonishingly words, 'Society's by a fifteen year old girl named Janis Ian ... apart from the Child' contains many musical joys-like fascinating sounds both natural and organ electronic, like a strange use of harpsichord and that cool, nasty, electric ... there are ... ambiguous cadences, unequal phrase lengths, the works ... a protest, what Janis has written is a short social document. Not a satire, not I all part of a just a picture of a social trap ... what does it mean? think it's historic revolution." The date was April 25, 1967. A CBS news special dedic-ted to the Rock Revolu- tion-written and produced by David Oppenheim and narrated by Leonard Bernstein. It was, you may recall, the show that introduced Janis Ian and a to that date. concept, a point of view that networks hadn't touched upon prior That the young people of our nation had finally wrested control of a mass medium, the phonograph record. That it was to be taken seriously as both a symptom and a generator of the revolution. "We must listen to it," said Bernstein. "We must listen to this new breed of young people with long hair and fanciful clothes ... perhaps by learning about them, we can learn something about our own future." Ian was an instant celebrity. Her record, previously boycotted by most of the nation's outlets, was suddenly heard nearly everywhere. In less than a month r it climbed to the top ten. She was rushed out of Philly, her home town, to play concerts coast to coast. Including the Troubadour. Another single, an album By followed. Ian was a household name-at 16.

The lady who brought gospel to Broadway in "Black Nativity" here brings it honestly to tunes like "Put Your Hand In The Hand." The title tune is heard on TV's most popular PSA at the moment and that is just the sales boost that could bring Marion to the attention of those outside of the heavenly realm of gospel.

A thoroughly enjoyable album from this seasoned pro. 1650 BROADWAY Corner 51st Street 17".'..--"Best known address in the entertainment field" 24 hour service "Attractive Offices and Suites, centrally air conditioned, RANDY EDELMAN-Sunflower SNF-5005 available now shortly." Debut disk from this young composer and individually controlled, or pianist is marked by an innocence of spirit that borders on naiveté. Despite Edelman's The DILLIARD Corp. heavily chorded playing, the themes of these ten songs are simple and uncluttered. "Give Miss E. Kunzman PLaza 7-4400 A Little Laughter" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice" are two of the nicer cuts. All selections were composed by Edelman, who also took care of orchestrating and producing chores.

116. Th ` , Pima' s The Sandpipers' new A&M single Chotto Matte Kudasai (Never Say Goodbye) is currently becoming a contemporary regional classic in its initial release in Hawaii. Now the song is to be simultaneously released in the Philippine Is- lands, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and here in the United States. We believe that Chotto Matte Kudasai will soon become an International clas-

sic in the genre of A Song of Joy and Guantanamera. Produced by Bones Howe o and Bob Alcivar for Mr. Bones Productions. A&M 1280.
