inttrestlng indeed. I admire the Monkee$ im•

mensely. When they started out they were in a very bad position. But they got stuc.k in and just worked to win some rC5pttt from other musicians.

En1elbert will sell a mllllon, or course. It's a good sons, well suns and well produced. so people shouldn·t criticise..

Small Faces are going to be very popular this year. They've a 1reat attitude to music and It's 1ood to see they're not trying to be hippy any more.

I'm sick to death of "Judy In Disguise", but that comes w ith bi!lna: in America so often.

PlaJtlc Penny•, d isc is fanW• tic. I like this " W hiter Shade Of Pale" son of feel.

Solomon Kins, I'm told, is a great bloke. But he"s just a. good stnser. Nothing t in.

I iun love Petula Clark. She' s not a 1rcu singer by any means but she"s a great performer.

This Juen Be~ch Boys single is dlwtrous-and "Wild Honey· · was u well. I cannot think what's happened to the Beach Boys.

PROBY: how I started this ballad kick P. }. PROBY arrived at our appointed meeting place in murky Soho accompanied by a huge, black-coated gent who turned out 10 be his right-hand man. Joe Van de Luyts, and carrying a small black case that could have contained a musical i.n1trument or, more appro• prialely. a Derringer.

(){ course it contained neither instrument nor Oct· rina:er. lnste-.ad., our Jim joy• ou.sly threw back the lid to r~ve,al ... a bollk of Bourbon1 while a pretty 111nc tinkJea away from some secreted mechanism. "My baby!" he said, pourinc out drinks for all.

Drink and P J. have been stnonymous in the past. The picture hasn•, akcn:d, even if Proby has. An<I drink had much to do with the suc;c:,ecd­ing discussion on the chan1in1 face o( pap since Proby made -... it hon1°paee news in Che good old dar< of 1964.

"h was all very well beina the ravine maniac ol Lon­don and the bad boy c;>f pop.'' he 5a1d, pour• ina himself 11 second Bour-bon. "People may have been antcnaincd by it au but 1l ruined me. It k>sl me all my money and left

roplc thinking was a crack•

pot. "Bui chat's

PROBY not the only reason why. if J started a,:ain, I wouldn'I carry on with that ravinp, act. I just don't 1hink lhere s a markec for that kind o( thin& any more.

"J dtdn't deliberately Jel out 10 ace a raving image-'l still insist mat th~ pe.nts-.spl,iuing thins was not on purpose­but it becao:,e a ai.rantJC act. I was tryina 10 clricrtain the public at much CO:St to me. But the m.a1erialis.tic cos1 was nowhere near as disappointing as findina how shon the British memory was when I re1umed last year.

"Nobody wanted 10 know mo any more.

In agonr "When I came back to

Bri1ain last autumn I waJ lying in bed in agony a.nd a docwr came alona and prodded me and said if I di,dn't stop drink• ing he'd 9jve me a year to Jive. So I stopped-for three days. Then another doctor a.me up and said it wasn'c as serious as all lhat-JJ'd just a:01 a liver complairu."

Into the gl.aM dribbled Bour­bon No. J. "So I SliU drink -but I've changed. J 'm tired of keeping up that P . J, Proby facade. I don't know wbe1bcr it comes with aee or not lhe's now 29, b\n look.in.a: a 101 more handiome since he went into eheclc sujtS and shorter hair) but I 'd rather be respected for talent than for being a raver.

" In the put all I played were ballrooms where you _gel a wild, scn:amina scene. But Jucly, I've been doina the clubs and taberot audience.1 sive you a different attitude.

"ll's difficuh, thou.ah, tryin.a: to pen.uade the' public that thL~ is what I ttalJy want. They are Mill coming to these clubs in the hope of seeing me split m,1 panu; they still want a nv1111 cat on staae."

At present Proby is hopina to secure a new work permj, which •will enable him 10 plug his overdue new single, · 'Your Day Today." and an album due out in February. He agrees he should be aboard the cur­renc balladwaaon. "1 started all this ballad ·ticlc-then Tom and Engelbert c:-.ame along, e,vcryonc climbed on and no w I'm the caboose."

Dylan digs us the, most, says 'Mighty' Manfred

" I 'VE always been slow, boring and dull" says Georgie Fame of him­self and gives a chuckle that belies the fact-if you believed

it in the first place, -

• by BOB FARMER

Obviously he's not, and yet Georgie Fame the person is not an easy man to penetrate. H e's very basic and yet you feel there is a lot locked away that never comes out. AS "Mighty Quinn" started sho,ving

signs t his ,veek of becoming a mighty big hit, l\ianfred Mann stopped spong­ing down his car, put on Beethoven's violin concerto, sat back and sighed contentedly: ''Well, that's postponed the finish for a bit longer."

i\1anfred is one artist with no illusions about the status of pop stars. "lt doesn't matter hpw many hits you've had in the past-and we've had plenty , your livelihood depends on the next disc becoming a hit. Then you can sit back and say to your­self •well, that's us secure for a couple more months."

In fact, the Manfreds had been looking most " insecure until "Mighty Quinn" came along, coun.esy of Bob Dylan, They are always so highly selective about issuing singles that they often leave us wait• ing many months betwe.en re• leases, But for all this care and consideration, they missed oul badly with their last single ''So Long Dad,"

"ll appeared a very corny record, but really it was rather subtle with a lot of pathos, It would have been our thir, teenth successive hit had it made it, not that l'm super, stilious," remarked Manfred,

"It was obviously depress, ing, but it faifed so miserably that we quickly knew it was a flop and so we we.ren 't moping about the place for long,

"Perhaps it was a good thing for u.~, We were begin , niog to assume that if we made what we considered a good record, it would get away all right, But we've never made the mistake of feeling that we're past the stage of having to get hits, Maybe that's why we have lasted."

"Mighty Quinn" is cer, tainly going to extend their time at the top,

~It's our dilrd Dylan sln&le - the oth<rs were 'Just Uke A Woman' and 'If :Vou Gotta Go, Go Now' -and I ttAd the other day that Dylan thinks we have made the best rec,ordings of bis songs,

"When you consider that people like ,Pet..-, PIIUI and Mary, Joan Batz and the Byrds have recorded bis material, dult sort of state­ment knocks III out. Yet none Of us have ever e•en met the bloke!" Come to think of it, not

many people have really mel the Manfred Mann group. apan from its owlish leader and Mike d'Abo,

•It doesn't matter how many hits you've had in the pas~

"A pity," thought Manfred, "Take< Mike Hugg- he's the person who's most over• looked, He contributes a lot to the ~roup-he wrote all the song.Iii m "Up The Junction· although we collaborated on the score. But he's also a quiet bloke, And the pop publicity machine favours those who can talk.

"Then there's Tom Mc, Guinness. who is also over· looked. And this is strange because once you get to know him, he happens to be one of the sharpest loudmouths you could know! He can sit there at the head of the table tike Oscar Wilde with his admir, en; all round him. tearing people to pieces with b.is wit,

"He's also able to write well, talk well and is a great blues guitarist-but the public see him' as someone who strums away behind hit re, eords and doesn't open his mouth. But Tom in fact is a lion."

There is also Klaus Voor, man, who plays prettily on flute but otherwise appean; somewhat the outsider of the group, "I'm afraid Claud­that's what we call him-does tend to be left out of things.

" Very olten h's the old boys of the group who land up making dedsioas. 01md lives fairly qu.letly and tbe only time be really open1 out is when he's irritated whh me. But tl~n ·1 suspect that's ev..-ybody's primary feeling ID the group!" This leaves me the most

improbable member of the group, Mike d'Abo, lmprob, able because whereas the Manfreds are homeloving • family types, Mike is very much Mister Show Biz. "His style of living is always look, ing good, dressing snappily, living in a beautiful ftat in the bean of Town- which con­trasts very strongly with my total absence of style,

··1 don't know what he thinks of my way of life- but he tends to look d isapprov, ingly if I turn up to do a TV show in jeans and some fur. ' I think what you plan to wear is rather predictable," he·11 say. coldly,"

On the surface he is a casual swinger. On stage in a si lk suit, his fingers clicking, his eyes closed, he IS the music and not the person. Off stage he is casually friendly, sitting in a club with his friends he w ill give you a cool "hello/' but it is careful.

' h really doesn't do Mike

d'Abo much good, Manfred is far too set in his ways to alter, He leads exactly the life that d' Abo put down in "S<!mi,Detachcd Suburban Mr James:· the only difference being that Manfred's house isn't a semi.

He live~ in a rather ugly road out in suburbia with his wife, his children, his dog and hi~ ca r, which he washe.s him• self. He is everything you wou1dn ·r expect a pop star to be,

He says: "Everything about me typifies 'Semi,De, tached Suburban Mr James,' Everything that is boring ap, plies to me, I looked for a bargain price house here at £6,500 whereas I would have to pay about £30,000 if I wanted to live somewhere fashionable like Hampstead, I bought a reliable little car rather than -some expensive showy car, I am really a rather boring person,

"The most important thing 10 me. though, is making sure my chi ldren grow up happy and without complexes about sex and so forth , It's all very well for young people to march against the Bomb, picket the American Embassy, refuse to buy boxes of apples from South Africa- but this sort of protest doesn't create much influence.

.. The only thing that a per, son, if he"s a parent. has con . frol of is another human life, This sounds like me preach• ing, but it's my own belief,"

You could never ac­cuse Georgie of being overbear ing or over­magnanimous.

Despite his outward calm, his: air of carefully nurtered m1.turlty, you feel you would b-e wary to approach him In the right way. There is a spar-k there that could erupt into rudeness or just plain disinterest.

Like so many people w hose life really revolves round music on a far more serious level than most In th.e pop world Georgie, you feel, is not forthcoming with every one and would react vio lently to a fool.

"I don't lose my temper-I just get upset, I a:et up$tt with myself fo r forccttinc things. There were a couple of numbers in the show at the May Fair (London) thu I'd meant to change soon after we surted there. But until I got up to do them I forgot all a.bout it. Then I thoucht 'we're supposed to have cut that one out.'

"I wiih I had a sense of humour. Hy friends call me heartless and one or two other lo.,able things and it hurts me deeply. I do haYe humour but it's th• hysterical kind and only comes on when I' m really beac.

''Yes, I like making: friends buc somedmes I feel I'm noc a:etdng: anywhere. I think It's because I neYer listen to what they'ri uylnc half the tim~ my mind wanden, I think I'm a polite oblia:inc person; I am, aren't Ir But enn my best friends accuse me of b•lna: rude."

We're no copy-cats say AMEN CORNER

' A.ldy :

'People seem to

pick on us jast for tile sake of it'

•

WITH two hit records behind them and " Bend Me, Shape Mc" likely to crash into the Top Ten any day now, how arc the Amen Corner farina in the big time? Amazi.ngly, but then Amen Corner arc an amazing group-they have not changed' one iota.

"We have an ambition a, lht momcn1," said singc.r•leader Andy ¥airweathcr•Low, •'to make sure 1hat everyone in Britain has the o_eponun11y to see u5 play. Whether they come 10 the · ball· rooms or not is another matter," added Blue Weaver q,odestl"y, "but at kast we should pm about three fans a1 every new bookine."

This nation-wido .. Corner" cover• ace in-.•otves of course an in• credible amount of hard work, with the:. rcsul1 that husky.-.·oiccd Andy bu been under 1he weather more ortcn than he s.hould be. " But that'5 no1 dcterrina me," he croa.ked1 ' 'and we're dcccrmined to keep on wo rk in& hard."

Many groups, having achieved a ,iimilar measure of success in a 5imila.rty shon 1imc would coo• sider taking life easy, but Amen Corner arc honest hard•wOrkin& lads who believe the.it popularity lies with their staae acL

·'We ma.kc sure never to play 1he same -.•enuc until we have re• hearsed a completely new a.c1," exp lained Clive Taylor. The group p lan their slaae act as a com• piece show. and rehearse the whole Lhintc as one. This a.pin involves a area• dtiil more 1imc and work •

Despite this hard work, d espite the succe55 of their i-coor<b, and despite their enormous success on sla&e, Arum Corner are re«:iving more knocks than any other group in Britain, Their records have been strongly criticised by fellow

anists who ~houkl know j;,euer (and ironically Amen Corner have outlived all these knockers) and 1heir stage ac1 has been panned by many people who !ul the group is unproa:rcssivc. Some go so far as co label 1hem o.ma,curish,

Amen Corner arc hurt by this, and cannot understand why the knockinc ii;oes on. " We're not averse to constructive cricicism," says Andy ... and I don'l l,h ink anyone should be:, but people 5«m 10 be picking on us jusc for the sake of i1. It's uncom• fonable 10 say the k:ast."

Noc the least of these knocks is 1ha1 "Bend Me, Shape Mc" is a cover o( an American hit by the A;merican Breed . ''The M>ng WU$ e•c:kcd for us by our mana• aer5, ' said Andy, "and although I liked the 1une I didn't like, 1he voc.-als. When we recorded it, we save it a completely different 1rea1ment, and I defy •nyonc to call it a copy of the ori&inal."

Andy i$ also a li1tle choked with remarks made about the d i~ by sonawriter Les Reed on las1 w~k's "All Sys1ems fr,:cman" show. "I can•, underscand why he disliked us for being a copy of 1hc American Breed, and in the ncxc breath said how much he liked Marty Wilde'! "By The Time I Cec To Phoenix.'' a co-.•cr of 1he original by Glenn Camp­bell,"

No venom But don't expccc Mr Fair•

And whereas the Amcdcan Breed are promo1ing·" the record wilh ·•Bend Mey Sh.ape Mc" rut,.. ber toys, Amen Corner are pro• motin,g ic wilh themselves, •P­pc:aring on stage in halls that have not seen a name eroup for years.

N~lurally, au the hard work the UBwe.lhng and continued aood nature of Amen Corner are pay• ing off, and au sights are now turned to the aroup's firs.c LP, tcntath·ely called "Oul Of Our Mouths.•• and relc-ased next month.

1·rm honestly ;-very pleased with the album," said Andy. " It's got a aood variety of son as all staropcd whh our own style. Our hopes arc Wt everyone, young or old. will find one 1raclt they lik.e."

MWITHOUT the fantastic support that Robbie Dale and I were given by peo ple all over the country during the wttk prior to August 14, 1966, I doubt vtty much whether we would have carried on," Johnnie Walker, Radio Caroline's top DJ, was talking lasl • week about himHlf and the long road that ,. j led lo lhe· two turntables In the tiny studio • JOHNNIE on board the ''mi Amiao."

I AGREE with your LP re­view (Disc 13.1.68) - Tom Jone."' L P is fanta"tic. When you hear T om singing soul. it makes you wonder why he doe~n·t release this type o f material for the s ingle market.

·»usty is . still our top girl singer ... AFTER Dusty·s triumphant return to TV (13. 1.68) there can be no doubl that she is s till our top female iingcr. Her vocal style has improved even further. The American1 who nowadays sec 50 much of Dusty don't know how fortunate they are. - KEITH WEST, IOb Cblchester R oad, East O-Oydon.

PETULA Clark said (Disc I 3.1.68) 1ba1 she hadn't been to a hairdressers for ages. Per• haps it wouJd be a good idea if she did judging by het appearance in her TV shows - it looked as though she'd just got up and tied it back to do 1he housework. If she doesn't watch out, she'll be labelled ''tatty head." - GEORGE BANKS, TIM Elms, R usper Road, Newdlaatt , Su.my.

DISC-JOCKEY John Peel must be the only critic in hi.s­tory to admit that he hadn•t seen something and then go and slam it anyway! In .. Hit Talk" (20.1.68) he said he's "'very s.cep1ical" of ·'Bonnie and Clyde" as a work of an and 0 not a little worried " about turnin& murderers into folk heroes. Really, Mr. Peel? And what about ltobin Hood, Dick T urpin, Billy The Kid, Blue• beard and a host of others, all of whom achieved considerable aad lasting fame for their not panicularly savoury deeds? Moreover, what harm has been done to anyone because these often vicious characters have &.ained wide notoriety? There seems to be a wide discrepancy between how Mr. Peel's idea.I• islic eyes look at thing.i and the• way things actually arc. -JAMES HUBER, 19 Homton St1ttt1 London W .8.

NEIL DIAMOND deserts his own songwriting talent and re­vives 1he okl ra\1e r of US Bonds.. .. New Orleans" in srilendtd style (Londoo).

Lately I have become very bored with JOHNNY MATHIS records. Nice then in this ballad age for him to oome up with a. new faste r sound on a sona called " Among The First To Know" which he double tracks aod sounds much heller on, 1hou3h I'd ha\'e liked his voice further to the front (CBS).

I have liked the CREATION in the past vc,ry much. Their new one "How Docs h Feel" didn 't su ike me as much as usual, mainly because it tends to go on and on and on. But ifs solid deliberate stuff ( Potydor).
