SEPTEMBER 29, 1962 “Ramblin’ Rose”—first a smash single and now a torrid album— is the current topic of conversation for: (1. to r. ) Manny Kellem, national singles field promo mgr., Capitol Record Dist. Corp.; Nat “King” Cole; Yoyle Gilmore, director of singles A & R, CRI, and head of all Capitol singles activities; and Vito Samela, national singles sales and promo mgr., CROC. Missing from the picture, taken in Bos- ton during a recent Cole p.a. tour, is Lee Gillette, Capitol’s Hollywood- based executive A & R producer who made both the LP and the single.
