1965 Monday, November 15, Number One Hundred Thirty Four

HIT OF THE WEEK: I WILL - Dean Martin (Reprise) Sho uld win him a gold record at the r rate it’s climbing. A giant throughout the South. CORRESPONDENTS PICK: THE LITTLE GIRL I ONCE KNEW - Beach Boys (Capitol) Pick of the week at WQXI-Atlanta. Sid Young, Robert Randall, Pa ul Miller, Danny Knox, Mel Mixon, Johnny Angel and John King make it their top choice. Bob Reich feels it’s a weak effort by the group. Probably is, but the heavy buy ing season for records is upon us, s 00000, it’ll hit anyway. Flip may be worth your attentio n at a later date. SOUTHERN SPECIAL: APPLE OF MY EYE - Roy Head (Back B eat) After a slow first week, it's come alive for Larry James, George Klein, Charles Owens, Paul Wolfe, Phil Jones, Bill Scott, Mel Smith, Skip Paradise, Johnny Draper, and C h a r l e y Thomason. Looks good.' HOT ACTION RECORD: I CAN NEVER GO HOME - Shangri Las (Red Bird) Breaking throughout Dixie. A strong seller and a smash on the phones. G o go go! SMS CHOICE OF THE WEEK; THUNBERBALL - Tom Jones (Parrot) Smash I Will be the first #1 h i t o f 1966. Movie doesn’t break until Christmas. It’ll do much for the record. SMS ALBUM OF THE WEEK: FOUR TOPS SECOND ALBUM (Motown) Even better than their first. One of the greatest LP’s the label has created. I'l l guess that "Helpless" will be a single. Even if it isn't, it’s worth playing. It's g etting some action at KCAT.

ALBUM PROGRAMMING We have added many new stations to the SMS in recent months. To our new readers, the purpose of this section is to bring to your attention those LP selections that merit a position on a playlist, as a single record. Anyone who ignores the impact of a 'hot* LP cut, is living in yesterday’s radio. We don't expect you to program all that are mention­ ed. Keep in mind, those selected, should be treated as singles.

TEMPTIN' TEMFTATIONS (Gordy) Best is "Everybody Needs Love" "Bom to Love You" is good. The others have all been released as singles. SPOTLIGHT ON JACKIE WILSON (Brunswick) "You’ll Neve r Walk Alone." Best record to date on this song. HOUSTON - Dean Martin (Reprise) I like "Hammer And Nails." Red Jones-WQXI prefers "Detour." Heavy play on LP at WQSN, WSNT, and WFLA. THE HART OF COUNTRY MUSIC - Freddie Hart (Kapp) "Hank Williams’ Guitar." Great I FAIRY TALE - Donovan (Hickory) "To Try For The Sun"' and "Ballad Of The Crystal Man." JU JU HAND - Sam The Sham (MGM) "Witchcraft" and "Got My Mojo Working". HILLS AND PLAINS - Hank Williams Jr. (MGM) The best, and it's very good, is "The B l i z z a r d . " WELCOME TO THE LBJ RANCH (Capitol) You should be playing this. Sales are strong, and it’s a fine change of pace....just use 10 to 15 seconds at a time. Do your own editing until the label furnishes some shorties. Let's hope they do I BEACH BOYS' PARTY (Capitol) Dick Reus says "Barbara Ann" is a top request. Alan Boyd is getting calls for "Tell Me Why." REVIEW AND COMMENT THE REVOLUTION KIND - Sonny (Atco) WFUN, KOTN, KCAT, WTBC. It sounds like "But You're Mine" with new words. Frankly, I don't think it will b e big. JEALOUS HEART - Connie Francis (MGM) Pick at KOSA, WCNF and WBYG. SUNDAY AND ME - Jay & Americans (UA) Airplay is sensational Watch it! MOTHER NATURE, FATHER TIME - Brook Benton (RCA) Memphis and Knoxville. IT'S GOOD NEWS WEEK - Hedgehoppers (Parrot) Make roo m for it. Smash at WFUN, WLEE. Good requests at WQXI. THREE BELLS - Tokens (ETP) Action has not followed the heavy airplay it received. NYLON STOCKINGS - Drifters (Atlantic) Forget the flip. Listen to both, and you'll see that it's this side. (Label is the publisher and couldn't put their PLUG on it. A TIME TO LOVE - Lou Johnson (Big Top) Selling in Georgia and Alabama. TRY ME - James Brown (Smash) Getting bigger. ONE HAS MY NAME - Barry Young (Dot) Virginia, Tennessee and the Carolinas. LITTLE BLACK EGG - Nightcrawlers (Kapp) A huge hit in Florida. I don't believe it has much chance of spreading, since it required the patience of two to three weeks exposure to produce results. Top five in Miami. WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR - Dave Dudley (Mercury) Charley Thomason says smash! WHAT THE NEW BREED SAY - Barbarians (Laurie) Second biggest request at WFUN. A YOUNG GIRL - Noel Harrison (London) San Antonio and Corpus Christi. YOU DIEN’T HAVE TO BE SO NICE - Lovin' Spoonful (Kama Sutra) Battle winner at WKLO. Calls at KCAT. HARLEM SHUFFLE -Wayne Cochran (Mercury) Taking off in Macon, his home tom. 65 Monday, November 15, 19 -3- Number One Hundred Twenty Four DIXIE ROUND-UP PICK ACTION COMER >DICK S T A R R W F U N The R evolution Kind- It's G o o d News Week- I Can Never Go- M3AMI FLORIDA _____ Sonny _(Atc)______Hedgehoppers_(Par)______Shangri_Las_(RB_)______BRUCE ANGEL KEYS A Young Girl- You’re The One- Flow ers On The Wall- CORPUS_CTOISTI_lEKAS_N_oel Harrison_(Lon)_ Vqgues_( C & C)______Statler_Brothers(Col)_ JIM MACK WISE The Three Bells- Thank You Mam- You’ve Been Cheat in’- ASHEVILLE NC ______Tokens_(BT?)______Ray Pillow_(Cap)______]^ressions_(ABC) ______RON LANE WFWL No Selection England Swings- Taste of Honey- C A m E N _ ,M N ______Roger Miller_(Sma)______Herb AlpertjA_&_M) ___ TOMMY WHITE WWDR Apple Of My Eye- One Two Tliree- You ’re My Everything- MURiREESBORO_MM _ Roy Head_ (BB_)______Len Barry _(Dec_)______Jerry_W_i 11 i ams _(Col_) _ HOWARD ANDERSON WEED Stand By Me- One Two Tliree- Over And.
