February 17, 1964 -3- Number Forty Three REVIEW AND COMMENT DEAD MAN'S CURVE - Jan & Dean (Liberty) Play it from the LP until the single arrives. It'll be a telephone request giant. I guarantee itI THE WAY YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO - Temptations (Gordy) If I could tip you on one side you're more than likely not playing, then this is it. A top item for Hamp Swain-WIBB- Macon and Burke Johnson-WAOK-Atlanta. Headed for the pop charts. You may have already waited too long. I DON'T WANT TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE - (ABC) Sounds like a strong entry. Think it'll build slowly. Under arranged for a good change. But, he hasn’t clicked in some time with that 'big* one that you can play as a golden five years from now. Maybe this trip! TILL THERE WAS YOU/lT WON'T BE LONG/ALL MY LOVING - Beatles (Capitol-LP) All are top re­ quest getters at WQXI-Atlanta. FOREVER - Pete Drake (Smash) Worth a try. Many picks on it. Can't hurt you to try either. Will have more definite on it next week if you need to wait. I'M IN LOVE - Fourmost (Atco) Bob Reich-WEKR-Fayetteville, Term, makes this his pick. He says he doesn't feel all the English hits will go in this country. I agree. This one will. WINTER'S HERE - Robin Ward (Dot) Somehow her first never did get enough oomph to make it big. This probably will do the same thing, but play it anyway. Teens will like it. Good sound to have onthe air. TAKE ME FOR WHAT I AM - L C Cooke (SAR) Bigger than it was a week ago. Top five in Augusta and Macon, Georgia. SHIMMY SHIMMY - Orlons (Cameo) Spotty at best. National chart action may give it new life where stations got on it and then off of it. It's not big anywhere in Dixie today, but it could surprise us all shortly. WELCOME TO MY WORLD - Jim Reeves (RCA) Headed for the SMS Top Twenty. New action noted by Roger Croft-WPGA-Perry, Georgia. It's not top ten for Johnny Bee-WACL-Waycross, Georgia. Add Fred Frelantz-WROV-Roanoke. CROOKED LITTLE MAN - Serendipity Singers (philips) From their album. Have a funny feeling this may do some business. Watch it. MY BONNIE - Beatles (MGM) Not really a strong air icem, but it is cashing in. A winner for Jerry Dean-WMES-Ashbum, Georgia. Howard Anderson-WEED-Rocky Mount, N.C. Also on the chart at WLAY-Muscle Shoals, Alabama and WGIV-Charlotte, N. C. T'AIN'T NOTHING TO ME - Coasters (Atco) Both Pat Hughes-WQXI-Atlanta and Hot Scott-WGIV- Charlotte were quick to jump on this. Label has made nice initial sales in both markets. LADY LOVE - Charlie Rich (Groove) This seems to be the side everyone likes. He gets mucho play in Dixie, so this should climb quickly. TELL ME BABY - Garnet Mimms (UA) Seems to be a problem in getting this one to you. It's been out in some areas for over two weeks and is beginning to show, but it’s brand new to most. I like it! LIVE WIRE - Martha & The Vandellas (Gordy) Strong national chart action may break this wide open in Dixie in the next ten days. #37 at WPGC-Washington, DC. Top five for Hot Scott-WGIV-Charlotte since its release. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS/BURNING MEMORIES - Ray Price (Columbia) May get split play. After to listening to it some more, I find it difficult to pick 'the' side. I GOT MY SHARE - Clarence Reid (Dial) Potent R & B side. New Marvin Gaye single due this week may hurt its chances for success. I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE - A1 Martino (Capitol) Blossoming into a full fledged hit. #21 at WFOM-Marietta, Georgia. #31 at WPGC-Washington, D.C. #11 at WORD-Spartanburg, S.C. On the chart at WJHO, WKGN and WDAK. GIRL FROM SPANISH TOWN - Marty Robbins (Columbia) Mel Mixon's #2 request at WBYG- Savannah. Also good activity on it in Texas. MY HEART CRIES FOR YOU - (ABC) This is a very impressive side. May do much better than his last one. Be sure to pick it. JAILER BRING ME WATER/y OU CAN'T SAY GOODBYE - Trini Lopez (Reprise) Good two-sided record. Take your pick. Hard to tell while it's new, which one will step out. SHOOP SHOOP - Betty Everett (VJ) No competition in the South. This is the hit version. Taking off very well. Much faster than her first. A big record in the . making. February 17, 1964 -4- Number Forty Three NEWS AND NOTES WFLA-Tampa has dropped the Show and Dick Lawrence is looking for a swinger for the 7-midnight slot. Mel Mixon moves from WSGA to WBYG in Savannah. Bob White upped to PD at KILT-Houston. Bob Dean moves into the afternoon slot at WPLO-Atlanta. Randy Scott- WCAW-Charleston, Vi. Va. leaves for the army on the 26th.

ALBUM PROGRAMMING MR. DYNAMITE - James Brown (King) It’s 'boss*. If you’re looking for something tough, then here it is! Could be his next single might jump out of this one. BEST: "Shout And Shimmy." GOOD: "Please, Please, Please. SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY - (ABC) This would be a stronger set, if it contained his two most recent single releases. But, it could go big if his next hit came from this. BEST: "You’re My Happiness." GOOD: "That’ll Be The Day.1' FAIR: "Sensations" and "Come On And Dance". Experiment. You may hit the jackpot! THE BEATLES WITH TONY SHERIDAN (MGM) It’s weak programming, but worth' a play or two while the fire burns. FAIR: "You Are My Sunshine." WONDERFUL SUMMER - Robin Ward (Dot) You may want to hold off on this until the future of her current single is determined. Good teen sound. GOOD: "Today I Fell In Love" and "Johnny Come And Get Me." CONNIE FRANCIS SINGS GERMAN FAVORITES (MGM) Have some fun. Play her three American hits in another tongue, as goldens. A few ears will stand up. BEST: "Die Liebe 1st Ein Seltsames Spiel" and "Tu Mir Nicht Weh." GOOD: "Schoner Fremder Mann." ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART - Dionne Warwick (Scepter) Maybe...her next single will spring from this package, nothing definite. BEST: "Any Old Time Of Day". GOOD: "Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me." YOUNG AND LIVELY - Anita Humes With The Essex (Roulette) Much stronger than either side of their current release. Find a side in this one and prove it. BEST: "Actions Speak Louder Than Words." GOOD: "Creation Of Love."
