This resume on vinyl with the, befitting title "The Hit Songs of Lambert and Potter" found it's way to MGM's Jessie Kaye, who in turn told the two writers he'd like them to collaborate on the next "Shaft" venture with arranger/scorer Johnny Pate. NEW YORK-ARGENT: (from page 14) In this propitiously thought out arrangement, Lambert and Potter Be it Herman, Arthur or The Heaviest Of Them All, Argent seems to have found will write the theme song and produce it with the Four Tops, the act that under their aus- a way to shape their own future, while dealing in varying degrees with the kind pices has been picking up gold at ABC/Dunhill. It was of music somebody somewhere gave to everybody. robert adels learned recently from artist Billy Paul that MGM had originally approached Gamble and Huff with a similar package idea whereby Billy would have handled the theme's vocals. Ac- cording to Billy. MGM's deadline on the assignment was too tight for the Phila- delphia clan. Billy said that due to conflicting interests his cohorts needed more like three months instead of two weeks. Dennis and Brian digested the script, viewed the movie, evaluated the point of the film and then translated it into music. They wrote the song with the speed their ten-day deadline required. Their goal was to write a song that would stand up as a record and compliment the film, as well. They seem confident on this score. The soundtrack to this new Shaft saga will be on ABC/Dunhill Records (this label's last soundtrack offering was "Cabaret". Dennis contends that film is definitely today's major vehicle. They were asked to compose the music to a Broadway show recently, but, Lambert said, "Unless you really like the property, it's too risky to give up a lot of time to sit down for three months and do an ambitious work for a medium that's suffering at best. It's just too speculative." Why should they be speculative when they seem to have developed a science for writing and producing hit records. This team also wrote the title tune to the forthcoming Beau Bridges and Janet Margolin starrer "Your Three Minutes Are Up".

The Patience .. . THE PATIENCE OF PATE-CASH BOX was also able to talk to Johnny Pate, the arranger who's doing the score to "Shaft Goes to Africa". Most are aware of Pate's open letter to the industry regarding some inequities he experienced The two photos above are alike in many respects. Firstly, they are both of working as co -arranger on the blockbuster film "Superfly." As far as Pate is Teresa Brewer, and secondly, they were both taken about the same time as concerned, the issue is as dead Freddie. The only thing he cared to mention was the release of her classic song, "Music, Music, Music," That's right-Teresa the fact that he was still patiently waiting to be paid $1,690.20 for conductor Brewer has re-recorded the song using some members of popular British group fees. He disclosed that Sig Shore, signatory for the film, was currently on AFM's Heads, Hands & Feet. Single will be issued shortly. How history continues to national defaulters list for not taking care of this matter. What does this mean? repeat itself! It means that technically he is forbidden from using union musicians until this has been resolved said Johnny, "I'm anxious to see what Sig does for the music in 'Superfly 2' if he can't use union musicians." Anyway the only thing Pate really wants right now is to get paid his leaders SOUNDTRACK STOCKING fee, to do a great job on "Shaft," and to acquire his fourth motion picture score this year. After experiencing the legerdemain activities he believes shrouded his LADY SINGS THE BLUES Diana Ross/Soundtrack Motown M 758 D "Superfly" dealings, he told himself he would score four films this year on his own. "Shaft Goes to Africa" is his third this year so far, and he assured us that BLACK CEASAR James Brown, Polydor PD 6014 Original Soundtrack the score won't be the typical black music score. He announced, "It won't be the' hackneyed finger poppin' score which most liken to black films.

REEL SHORTS-Apple Films Inc. have their teeth into a film about the prince of biters, "Son of Dracula." It's sort of a comic -book satire on the legendary Coming Next Week: figure who believed a neck a day keeps the doctor away. Apple has put Nilsson into the title role. The soundtrack (what lucky label will get it) is suppose to be bloody good.

These are facts known for years by the trade but only interesting to outsiders now that this industry is being examined for what it really is-a highly skilled, proud industry which figures in both the service and entertainment ends of the economy. Take the jukebox end, for example. This trade takes in (counting coin and dollars) over three- quarters of a billion dollars in gross collections. This is based upon the national location average of $30 per week (gross) spread over the half -million music locations in this country. Now, also consider that the operators change between 80 and 100 million singles per year on their machines (most of which are newly -purchased goods) and you can easily see there's a lot of money coming and going in the juke end alone.
