NOVEMBER 25. 1961 The field of eountry music eonlinues to supply the pop market with many of its biggest hits and most talented performers. Mercury’s Leroy Van Dyke is one excellent example. His first Mercury release “Big Man In A Big House” was a solid coun- try hit. Then came “Walk On By” which hit the # 1 spot on the country charts and now seems to be headed for the same slot on the pop best seller list. Leroy also had a big hit some years ago on Dot duhhed “The Auctioneer.” Booked solid for fair dates and one nighters. Van Dyke’s first Mercury LP is being rushed into production and should be out in the near future. *‘THE NATION’S BEST SELLING RECORDS USE THIS AD FOR vour CONVENIENT OROER FORM CURRENT BEST SELLING SINGLES RECORD RECORD ORDER TITLE ARTIST ORDER TITLE ARTIST NO.
