Negotiations are still being carried out but· it is

expected that the trio will appear on August 10, the last night of the Festival.

NINA'S THE

MEDIUM FOR THE

MESSAGE

MELODY MAKER, April 19. l 9flg.......pa,e 5

NINA SIMONE, the art ist , is the High Prieste.s of Soul , the blues singer and the jns pianist. Nina Simone, the person, is compelling, formid­able , and totally involved in life and living.

She was in London last week reaching a much wider audience than usua l-thanks to a song from Hair end one from the Bee Gees- but worrying because her latest single " Revolution " is not being played

" I'm sensitive about all my reco rds but I'm concerned berause­this one isn't sell ing. I'd like the fans to find out why it's not being played, I want to know what they think

"'Revolution' means what's going on in the world " If you listen to the lyrics of the song you will see thou,Rli

it does mention the racial problem, there are numerous others­the young against the old, the black against the white, the poor against the rich, the new breed against the old establishment

Same Emotions " I think the young people would like it especially " I try to say through my music what thousands of peoplt­

thi nk and feel, but aren't able to say. I'm JUSt a m.td1um Milhons of people go through the same emotions m their own lives

"The music that you put out should be very close to what you reel. I'm very happy that I've had the hits - it's thrilling, a bonus, it's the supreme compliment but J'm not going to change what I do and put out something that doesn't please me

"I like to please the public but not at my own expense " I want to sing the best music in life - the best that I can

find . "Yes, the message is more important to me but I don't think

it can be separated from the music. For me, the message is more important. The message

L-0-V-E. Love, baby, and care - people don't care about one another."

The state of the British charts inter ested Nina , especially the current upsurge of enthusiasm for Tamla-Motown

"Coloured artists are leading the trend of music in the pop chart and this is what should be. It should have happened years before.

"There are many reasons - we could talk all day about it - but the world is getting smaller

"Coloured artists are accepted in ways they could never have been before-they don't have to take back seats any more.

AMONG THE ACCUSERS, AMONG THE FINGER­POINTERS OF OUR TIME, ONE STANDS OUT CLEARLY: LENNY BRUCE. AS HE SAID ONE NIGHT, IN A FAMED ASIDE. ''l'M SORRY IF l'M NOT VERY FUNNY TONIGHT, BUT l'M NOT A COMEDIAN. l'M LENNY BRUCE" PROFOUNDL y SO; AND SINCE HIS DEATH THE ONCOMING WAVE OF YOUTH HAS PICKED UP ON HIM.

NOW THE MYTH, THE MARTYR, SPEAK OUT STILL THROUGH A HERITAGE OF TAPED LIVE PERFORMANCES. FROM THESE, FRANK ZAPPA CHOSE THE BERKELEY CONCERT, AVAIL­ABLE AROUND MID-APRIL ON TRANSATLANTIC TRA 1950. THIS IS THE FIRST LENNY BRUCE FULL CONCERT PROGRAMME ISSUED WITH­O UT ANY EDITING WHATSOEVER . TWO

LPS 71s 3d.

Transatlantic WHERE TRENDS BEGIN

The medium is very big now - there's TV, radio and travel."

"First of all, I regard myself as a coloured woman who is very sensitive about this thing .

Mark " I always want to reflect

my people. Young people. black or white, come second.

" l am a spakeswoman for young people, but first of all J'm a coloured woman.

"The thing l most want to do is take a year off, or however long it takes, and do an awful lot of reflect• ing about life and mus ic.

"You have to see what you've done and you have to take time to do that.

" When I die I want to have left some particula r mark of my own. I'm carv­ing my own little niche in this world now."

:~;:~pen P:::;e;a cl:~~

holiday offering bed and breakfast accom­modation at a modern hotel like the Pacific, used by many satis­fied readers last year, for only 33 gns.

This hotel , like all used for the trip , is only a few hundred yards from the sea and the festival site and is right in the heart of swinging Juan. les. Pins.

sort. For Miles , the Marion Williams Cos­pel Singers, the Buddy Tate Quartet and Aretha or Ray Charles W:ith their respective b,g bands are the first of a host of inter­national jaz-z and R&B names to be announ­ced for this famous festival.

The trip leaves from Victoria Coach Sta ­tion. The route is via Dover-Ostend , where a luxurious coach with reclining seats will journey t h r o u g h France, stopping for sightseeing in Paris, and then on to the Mediterranean.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT This will be the

third year that the MM has organised a holiday for its readers at the festival. In the previous two years, almost 200 music en­thusiasts have enjoyed a swinging holiday in Juan- les-Pins , part of Antibes where the fes­tival is held.

It's a gay, young re­sort, packed with nightlife of all sorts­bars, clubs, restaur­ants, a casino, etc -midway between Nice an.i Cannes. It has huge beaches and some of the most beautiful weather in Europe.

The MM will take you by coach to Antibes for a I 0-day

The journey home starts on July 31, arri­ving back in London in the evening of August I.

The V form amount for the holiday is £ 13, leaving £37 out of the £50 allowance. Travel­lers can also take up

to ft 5 in sterling, making a total of £52 spending money -more than enough for a really great holiday Juan-les-Pins. All for 33 gns.

THIRD DIMENSION THE FUTURE

1969 1s a criti­cal year for Scott Walker in as much as he must prove to his severest critic - him­s e If - that what he is do­ing is worth while.

APART

Bas1ca lly he wants to establish himself on the Contmt:nt bu t _..,en more 1mpor• .ant, to gam some tang1b)P recogm­uon for his work a, composer. He threatens a dras­tic solution if he :annot prove h1m­seH

" Some people have decided to lump me in that category which

'I'd like to get Presley

includes. Engel-

~~~~s ~n~lth~og~ ,n a studio with a string orchestra. He could do much

I have- never th()ught of com­peting m that league.

"The one thmg which places me apart 1s my com pos1 n~ I work harder on that than anything tlse and }et it h,s rece,ved little r ogmt1on If I

so better'

c.annot prove myself this vear, I will quit."

Does Scott feel that he might do better m future to shake off tht> lugubrious and 11Lghtly PJrano1d image he has been given m the past J

"I was n()t aware or hav· in& deltberattl) projected any image - J am what 1 am Jt drpends upon what )OU surround yourseH with to a areal extent "

In 1p1t.- or his relallvely nnu'> a pf"C'l, Scott has

·• Because l am the way I am, J was ternhly prone to practical jokes on tour and J have a horror of them. I had people throw water over me while J was hold mg a hve electric mike in my hand on stage-not funny!"

Does Scott ever see him­self returning to his home­land - America?

Has the possibility of a reunion concert with the Walker Brothers - say in Japan - ever occurred to him?

BURIED

"What a dreadful thought My God - regression. The Walkers are dead and buried and better for it.

Will his fear or flying cu rtail his appearances abroad and why is he fnghtened anyway?

" No - if necessary I travel by tram. I suppose if necessary I will have to gel on a plane again to play Japan but it will mean a full trained nurse travelling with me and pumping me full or tranquilisers. Not even a bottle of Scotch could get me on a plane now.

" Death does not frighten me because I am a fatalist. I hate wars and the people who make films of war and glorify those involved as heroes - that's swinish."

GLAMOUR

" I'd like to produce Pres­ley," said Scott unshamedy. "He could do so much bet­ter for himself He keeps all those cronies who have been with h1m for years, lake the Jordanaires, and denies himself the ta lents or a great arranger or good material.

" He still does these ter• nble old 12 bar blues things I'd like to get him in a studio with a good string orchestra and make him sing some of the material like the old Walker Brothers used to do. Songs like 'Make It Easy on Yourself' - he could do thing5 like that so well "

"We've lost the glamour of pop - I don't see it re­turning," Scott concluded. "Underground music will become more popular - un­fortunately and perhaps solo singt:rs will overwhelm the groups

"Well, like I said I want to cm"ri:e a~ a writer, do some films - direct not act m them - broaden my knowh~·dic and of course t'.mergt as a TV pcrson­t1llty." And ht• laughed and lau~hed and lftt1Jdu:-d

MELODY MAKER JAZZ POLL WINNERS CONCERT

British THF MELODY MAKER Pollwmners Concert at the Royal Festival Hall on Saturday proved two things quite conclusively that the best British jazz musicians compare with the finest anywhere in the world; and that a Pollwinners concert doe 'i not have to be an organisational and musical disaster.

The Beatles as nature intended.

"Get Back" is the Beatles new single. It 's the first Beatles record which is as live as can be, in this electronic age.

There's no electronic watchamacallit. "Get Back" is a pure spring-time rock

number.

On the other side there's an equally live number called "Don't let me down''.

Paul's got this to say about Get Back ... "we were sitting in the studio and we made it up out of thin air ... we started to write words there and then ... when we finished it, we recorded it at Apple Studios and made it into a song to roller­coast by''.

P.S. John adds, It's John playing the fab live guitar solo.

And now John on Don't let me down. John says don't let me down about "Don't let me down".

In "Get Back" and "Don't let me down" , you 'll find the Beatles, as nature intended. Get Back/Don't let me down (Parlophone 5777)

decadent BBC " BBC One is the

worst, most dec­adent thing in the whole country."

Fighting talk from bluesman Ouster Ben­nett in response from a little stirring from me as to why blues in general, and he in particular, gdt com­paratively little ex• posure on radio or TV.

"The BBC ls the Civil Service - and that's the biggest insult I can think of," he warmed to his subject. " Radio One plays into factories and homes and people listen to what those silly people say. After a while they begin to believe it and then to think like it. Those deejays should realise they a re brain­washing people.

"The BBC is a closed shop - you either make BBC­type records or you don't get played, They are not providing a real enter• tainment service, merely playing what they think is good for people. Nobody there takes any interest In what is really good - or even what is actually happening at the moment. I don't even like to be connected with it all, but then there ls no other sound medium for us in this count ry."

Duster seems to hold strong views on most mulliical matters . For example. he feels It is time there was some new blood on the Britis.h blues scene.

BY BOB DAWBARN ·• You hear of the same old

people all the time," he said. " It's time we had some new faces and there arc ~ome very good ones - among the best arc Top Topham, a guitarist from Kingston; Lloyd Watson, a singer from Peterhoroughi and a bass player called Kenny Clarke.''

I ventured to suggest that, as a general rule, the instrumentalists were far more convincing than the singers on the current British blues scene.

"Let me shake you by the hand," he said by way or warm agreement. "The trouble is they are not singing about what It is really like to be alive today. It's still • Woke up this mornln ' reelin' bad.' which isn't the truth. Half of them are still trying to be old 78s.

"In a way, we must blame the record companies for not releasing the sort of material that is released in the States. Let's hear some Bobby Bland, the greatest ever! And 1 pray that B. B. King will get a proper listen on his tour. But 1 suppose people will Just go to see how fast he can play the i:,ultar."

Duster Is on the King tour, with Fleetwood Mac and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, which opens on April 22. He will also

BLUES ON LP

soon be in a position to do something con­structive for new blues artists.

"J shall be producing records and talent spolt• ing for Blue Horizon," he explained. " 1 reel particu­larly strongly about finding new talent. A blues label halli to put out blues to a formula that the public will reco~nise as blue~. The Blue Hori­zon sound has become stylised enough for people to recognise it. Now ls the time to bring them up to a more immediate and relevant s tate and start breaking the rules a little, Intro­ducing fresh Ideas. Mlke Vernon is fully behind me on all this and we are going to produce some fresh ideas and make records which we hope will say more to both the person in the street and the blues fan."

With so many blues groups believing that you have to hit the audiences with sledgehammer volume I wondered how Duster made out as a solo artist

" I think impact can be achie\•ed in other ways than volume," he ex­plained. "And anyway 11 O watts or Duster Bennett blasting in your carhole is enough for anybody. Sometimes in Ja~ge places, or places with bad acoustics, I come off better than a loud band because they jusc boom round the hall.

"Occasionally, though when I have to fight ro; my life against a good band on the same bill I'm glad to have the power if I want ic."

"I've been looking rorw• .rd so much to this holiday," she bubbled. "'l can•t believe It's happening. We're stoppi.: off ill New York before we &et to Acapulco. Barry is com1n& alona too. The boys have some buslnrss k> do ln New Yoric:.

.. I've ne, r been to Acapulco before." added Lulu. Reminded that Ekis Presley had made a film the.~ she said: "Yes. I know. But l"ve Sttn only about two of bis films. And they we-re early ones. ..

Lulu"s interest in Aa.puloo stemmed solely from the fact that she had made a 1V commercial about a year a,eo - and the location had been Acapulco. But she hadn't needed to ao there, havine. sune. behind the film or the picturesque scenery.

Certainly It ls a refreshin& change from Lulu's last trip abroad - to Madrid for the Eurovlsion Song Contest.

"SWl, U '4'115 all vtty exCltinc. I must confess I was ncn·ous befott J went on. But that soon went as e-verybody became involved fn the event."

Apart from this minor criticism - understandable from a 20-year--old with enough zing lo drive the QE2 across the Atlantic - Lulu has no complaints.

For, \\.iuil~ver has been said about the Eurovi.sion event. Oler-e's aru.otutely no doubt th.at a win such as Lulu's carries tremendous prestige and monetary

and he'll look at you as though you're

cr~J. ~:nBritain, "Blue Beat" is the generic (dr'm :for the type of records that ,have made Kingston-born Desmond Dekker a top-seller m his own country. There, he's had 40 No I hits on the trot and has not been out of the Top Ten for

o~eoi.ab~~~innl i!hr~p~it three years. mg that success in Britain, where " Israelites " has smashed its way into No. 2 in the chart and already sold over 110,000 copies.

As a small inde­pendent, we have problems like the printing of labels, too. We can't order three million, like the Beatles did for Mary Hopkin. We have to think in terms of tens or thousands."

BY LAURIE HENSHAW

reticent about himself he makes the average pop star sound hke Doctor Goebbels on the rampage.

But slowly the facts emerged that he has two sisters and one brother. He first sang in church choirs, but his work consisted of engineering and, for a time, pie-mal(ing.

Desmond is no stranger to the British chart At the end or 1967. he had a hit with " 007 " - and made a brief visit to promote it. Now he's here again, and will be playing ballrooms and clubs until July .

Started DESMOND DEKKER: forty No. 1 hin in Jamaica

Choice His itiner-ary will pro­

bably be tougher here than at home, for there Desmond - of choice - works only three days a week. At

'weekends. "Most or the time J spend writing," he says with disarming sim­plicity.

Desmond, in fact, is so

"Then my friends thought J could make good as a singer," says Desmond. " So I recorded a song cal led 'Honour Your Mother And Father.' It was my first record and it became a big hit for me."

The records Desmond now started to tum out in growing quantities were known RS Ska. Then Rock Steady and Reggae. Each type of music was a little

more sophisticated than its predecessor.

Desmond's latest disc -made in Britain a couple of weeks ago - wiJI not be issued until " Israelites " has had its full successful run.

Driving But the disc in the can

takes the music a step further. A driving brass section has been added, and

Foundations go back to the people, and prove their point

Desmond's voice has been double-tracked. " It all gives the record more body," explains Grafflle Goodall

But meanwhile, " Israel• ites " continues to climb. And how did th.is Ja1N11ica• recorded song get its odd title? There's a religious sect out there ca.tied the Rastararians. And their term for a persecuted person is "an Israelite."

Cracks Graeme Goodall: "Galling the record • The

Israelites· wu a sort of run thi.ng dreamed up on the spot. It v.-as just a gmtle­dig at th05C' record pro­ducers and agents who ' persecute • recording artists."

secuted " Desmond. gave the happy smile of a man "'ho can afford to laugh

Don't play flat Normally organs are designed to be played sitting.

With the excitement of today's music, so many artists get canied away they can't keep $tated.

So we built "The Professional" with a tilting keyboard, so you can stand up to play.

The sound "The Professional" produces is of the greatest range and quality.

There's a suies of distinctive 1ireal" voices.

Pure flutes. Mixtures of subtle shade and

combination. Five percussion stops for all

voices, or just miitures only. Vibrato in four settings. And slide controls for

fast, easy operation.

And, so you can ~t the full benefit of this instrument, Farfisa have an amplification system that matches "The Professional". The ABL 73 system. ABL 73's

amplifying unit, extension speaker and Sound Sphere (Leslie) cabinet can be

placed at random for wide diffusion, or in column fashion for high sound

concentration. But even though "The Professional" is lightweight, compact and portable, and

even though you can stand up to play, it wiU add so much dimension and excitement

to your group's sound that from now on it won't be just one-night stands.

It'll be standing ovations. See and bear the Farfisa "Professional"

There and then I was converted, and despite musical rebuffs and disillu­sionment, I still consider Smith the greatest jazz organist and a wonderful musician whose contribu• tion is totally unique

In his early yea rs, and when the wonderrul com­bination with arranger Oliver Nelson was fresh, Smith produced LP after LP which proclaimed that here was a uniquely powerful and individual musician and after you·d heard Jimmy Smith, things would never be the same again

Apart from the purely technical feats which Smith had to achieve to tum the organ into a viable jazz proposition. he is a wonder• ful blues player, a deter­mined swinger capable of producing more excitement than every one of his imitators put together.

In his thirteen years of recording, he has produced an incredible volume of work . Anyone spending so much time in the s1ud1os cannot avoid turning out

the odd dud, and Smith 1s no exceplion.

The early years with Blue Note found him working mainly in the trio format, for me his most congenial habitat, with the addition of occasional guest.5 for an informal Jam session atmos ­phere

"Jimmy Smith's Greatest H I ts . . (Blue Note BST8990l) creams off some or the best of this period

rncludmg thf world-beating eight -and -a-half minute- ver • sion or "The Champ " which on its own is enough lo ensure him VIP treat • ment if he'd quil and walked out of music there and then

The exuberance and swing which amazed musi ­cian and layman alike made Smith a successful com• mercial commodity quite early on, and in the ramdiar atmosphere or the Blue Note establishment he con­tmut.'d to make a stre.am or albums which were good, reliable stuff.

Then he left for the Verve-MGM label. The reasons he gave me for the move were summed up in

one word " Dis• tribution ."

Smith has always shown an astute grasp of the business side or his career, and although he maintains he was happy with Blue Noll:, he was nol slow to

realise thal whal was then n small independent la~l could not nffer the same facilities as a major com• pany

In his new surroundm~s. another aspect or his musi cal character was unfolded when he was teamed with a bi~ band under Oliver Nelson. From this partner­ship came ground-breakin~ stuff like ., Walk On The Wild Side," "Who's Afraid Of Vnginia Woolf'' and many others which set a pattern for any organist who sat down in front of a big band.

At this distance, 1l's easy to write Smith off as one of the great music.al bores Having accomplished so much so quickly, it's unde­niable that as the quantity or his output increased. its quality diminished

He's also had to carry the burden or being one of the most imitated musicians in popular music histor) We

the console, which contains vented, that amphfiutum of the keyboards, pedalboard lhl' small signals wu pos~1hle and stop control, lO be placed at a dist::ince from the pipe• v.ork

Tonally the organ develop­ed from the diapason pipe (an " ordinary " o rgan pipe) and add11ional ranks were added to give the harmonic: senes (the octave, double O<'· tave, fiflh and third, etc.), thus by drawing nll these one key could produce a common chord or sounds

BULK

Other stops such as flutes and rerds and string tones, were added but all the time a total tonal result wu aimed at JUSI as the orchestra is comprised or strings, wood­wind, brass and percussion but all combining in the full orchestral tone

A departure from this Jong trad1t1on came with the cinema organ which was de­signed for en tertainment and nnt for leading the singing, and the bulk or elect ronic: or­gans have followed this later read allhnugh th t:re are models which do follow the o ri ginal tonal ideas and we shall see mor~ In due course.

VIBRATION

Prohabl)' 1he firs1 to pro­duce steady tones from etec.­tncal means was Helmholtz, a great German scientist who drd much work m music.al acou'it1cs, nearly a hundred years ago He mamtamed tun­ing forks in vibrat1nn by means of electro•magnets and the sound was made more aud1hlt> hy means of resnna

FRONT

The next advance was when Laurens Hammond produced his toothed wheel generator rotatmg in front of bar ma~­nets, the c:hang1n): nrn_gnetic field mduced i.;urren ts m coi ls around the ma):nets ot the frequency of the number of " teeth " passing the maRnets each second

Once a_gam the 1une ronlrol w:is by addmJt harmonic'i un­ul the desired sound qua\lty was ohtamed

Other rotary systems fol, lowed One by the Compton organ Company con~isted of discs engraved with areas of meu11 so shaped that when • scanning disc was revolved at a small distant.e in rront of these, the area " looked al " by the scanner varied at a frequency determined by the number of areas and the speed of the scanner

FIELD A h1):h voltage WllS applied

to these plates and thus tht· electrit field varied at the same frequency; this was am­plified and again tone colour­mg was by addition of har­monics

Parallel with the rtSC m populnnty of these last two systems came the method whereby the movemenl5 ol electrons bet"' ecn an lnduclor and capadtor he ma1nta1ned by a 1herm1onic valve leltrng pulses of current at the exact ume required to keep the oscillation going, a nd from that developed the pra<'lke or using an octave of these tuned

c1rc: u1ts to supply pulses to the octave belo w, whic h had mull, vihrator circuits

Ordinarily mulliv1brators wo uld not keep m tune, but they can be re li able 1f syn· chron1sed and two puli.cs of the ··master" triggers one of the divider; two pulses from this octave synchronise the octave he:low and so on

TONES

The output waveform has m,1ny harmonics and these are left in to produce trumpet and string tones but the up• per ones are removed by elec­trical filters so that only the first one or two are ldt for flute toneis

With the advent of thr transistor the whole 1nstru• men! has been made physical­ly smaller and consumes far less power and it has been possible to incorporate many more circuits to give percus­sive effects which, in its broadest sense, includes imi­tation of st ruck and plucked strinis, as well as drums, cym­bals, el<'

YIELD

Passing the signal down a IOO!lt! spiral spring produces reverberatmn effects and there are more new sounds to come, but I am glad to say th•t cultured, musically-mind­ed designers are doing good research work at the moment 11nd these should yield artistic results

This 1s Lonnie Smith Pretty good nctu&lly. On this 1..P there's a good guitarist. I've heard this somewhere before. Sounds a bit like J immy Smith.

Ir you not ice, most .Jf them get stuck on the same tone. l was watching Jimmy Sm1th once and he uses all the draw bars. ls this track ty pica l of the whole alb:..im. I"d like to know if it's be.en made on pop lines or jazz lines. The organ is restricted in a way more than most other instruments. It's not where you play it, but how.

There's hardly anyone on these albums we've heard that hasn't had a guitar. It can be very boring to listen all the time. It's very dis• passionate

This is very nice. Beaufr

ful sound , very churchy. Well recorded, they've got right into it

Difference between this and Jimmy Smilh is that Smith is Just jazz, this is improvisation. See how they tnke the volume up and down and get light and shade.

This is so well recorded, so crisp.

It's better played with fugue things, doomy. Blood Sweat and Tears a re into something different. You can tell by the recording, it's oil coming together and they're doing someth ing new

J1~1~! Got t~::~?,; from the album II I've Got A Woman " (Solid State USS7012).

I've got no idea who it is. Very tinny . Sounds like McGriff. Semi - distorted, very toppy. It's a thin sound with the top drawer bars and hardly any bass

Good player. I think of him the same way as Jimmy McGriff, although McDuff' is more jazzy.

That's not ·• The House That Jack Built " is it? Nice guitar. The only one I think who would have the humour to do that is Mike Carr.

Wynder K. Frog, he's a very good player. It's strange listening to it. It's got a lot of attack .

I slarted m y musical career on the piano with one hand when I was thrt:e

We had a pian ola and I used to stand on the pedals with my chin just about reaching tht' keyboard! By the time I was 11 I could play hoogie-woogie and rag,s on piano It required an ama7in~ kind or technique which I don't have now• My pianist brother Jimmy was a great jau. fan and played me records by Muggsy, Louis. Leadbelly and S~earing . I started to slnR, 1mprov1s1ng the blues, but I couldn't play them on the- piano. 11-14 was a frustrating period. Eventu­all~· 1 becamt interested in Kenton, the first Jan Me!i!ien ­gers and Horace Silver, who was my greatt"s l influence. At I• I got up a trio .111 school

Just a nice bit of rock and roll for the people B E A T L ES : " Get

Back " (Apple). OkJy, so this is what we all wanted - the return of the old Beatles.

The, hJven 't donned Mersey beat wigs, but at least they have tried to please us with some helpless musi­cal innocence. Just a nice bit of rock and roll for the people.

Paul singing with feel­ing, the guitars and drums pounding a Chuck Berry-type riff and an echo like the Liverpool Cavern. No naughty freak-outs, no weird lyrics, just good clean fun. Fine stuff and a hit me­thinks.

So over to top national journalist E r n es t Smite for his reason­ed comments and re­action : "Get Back? Yes, that's wot I sez. Git back to where you come from you long­haired scouse gits!" Thank you Ernest.

GLASS MENAGERIE: " Have You Forgotten Who You Are" (Poly­dor) . A Chas Chandler production and a warm sound that lays back on the beat and reatures an , m a g I n a t i v e accom­panrment to emotional vocals

F.ffective use 1s made of piano and organ, and one cannot help but tip this for the top

rnlli~~~ Wrn~rnlli , POP SINGLES

PAUL McCARTNEY : singing with feeling

RAY STEVENS: " Gita r-un •· (Monument). If there is one type of record the public can 't

stand it's " funny r eco rd s.'' Espec ially funn y records, that are more droll than hilarious.

If you bother to listen to the wo rds, drowned in heavy production, then you might raise a smile , Most will scowl or spit I fear.

I know their ways y'see .

SLIM WHITMAN: " My Happiness" (Liberty). Over to my country export Big Jim Cowpoke for his ve rd ict. Quit poking t hem cows Jim, and get over hyar

"Well Sir, m y hea rt is just bursting with pride on

t~~e oc~;~~n. 'a thi~~gt~~ pretty tune sung by good old Slim at his howdy-hoe best."

"Throw anothe r cowpoke on the fire Zeke,"

IKE & TINA TURNER: "I'm Gonna Do All I Can (To Do Right By My Man)" (Mlnlt). The phrase: " Slow paced rockaballad" sp rings all too easily to mino .

Better to say Miss Tina Turner sings with beauty and strength. One of the finest performances of the pop age

Play it loud and play it proud.

MELVll'I DAVIS: "Save It (Never Too Late) " (Action). Over to sou I expert Irving " Finger-

po p " O'Yeah " W e ll bl ess muh soul Put your hands toge the r at this t ime and try a littl e tenderness. W e ll J feel ALL right! "

From this garbled a ccount we can d educe this is exceptionally ry thmic and ideal for rather clumsy men with white shirts and unsuitabl e hipsters to frug to in ungainly fas.h­ion with vacuous girl friends in their local borotheque.

MERRILL MOORE: "Sweet Mama Tree Top Hall "

~tC):, :~~fe .~a~~~i~: has lo ng been shoutin g from the tree tops the virtues of Mr. Moore's boogie piano.

And by jove he's right. The man is a genrus of the ivories!

GLEN CAMPBELL: "Gal­veston" (Ember). A light hiccup o r hicough in his throat, tends to have m t reaching for imaginary six-shooters. Hit herto J have remained silent on the subject of Glen

;;~rd~~II itFe;~~• o~utth; more unhealthy aspects of Our Times .

1 reel sure if Peter The Great, Tsar Of All The Russias, were still alive, he would behead this chortling cowboy with his bare hands and place the seve red bonce m a pick ­ling jar and leave it at the feet of his mistress· bed

RAY BARRETTO: " Acid " (London). Screaming hot trumpet on one or the best instrumentals m some time.

Violent timbales, sexy scra------------------------------------------, pers and judicial shouting

from a nameless shouter lead mto Mr. Barretto's conga drum solo

An all out gas.

LEVIATHAN: "Remember The Times " (Elektra). Once known as the Span, this revamped group pre­sent us with two singles as examples of the ir work. This is most read• ily commercial of four s ides.

Although I commilted myself to dismissing it as a total flop o n my TV Spectacular due ror screening in October o n BBC 2 (" Brmg that screening date nea re r• ·· yells Wendy Potts), after several pla ys, I now realise the e rro r or my ways and suggest it could well lurch chart high

YOU can't be neutral about Melanie. She's one of those people who comes along and

creates new dividing lines in the scene, set-ting people at each other's throats who normally see eye to eye on good and bad. At first hearing everyone feels they have to stand up and be counted. . fka

th<y made a single of, "Bo Bo's Party." some of them, like her arch interpreta­tion of A. A. Milne's "Christopher Robin " made me want to up­chuck.

I've heard her be brilliant in London. She slJcnced a crowded room of tough record executives at last year•s Mldem. But by all accounts her reception in Paris last month was rather less than luke­warm.

I can bleleve U. Quite apart from the fact that the Olympia is probably the second toughest gig in the world (the absolute toughest being Harlem's Apollo) the audience that goes for Gilbert Becaud as top ot the bill isn't exactly ready for what Melanie has to say to them, and I could imagine her getting up­tight with them, very badly, on a bad rdgti•.

Not that I have ever heard her sing bad ly. I have seen her come out on a stage and tr1umi'.-h over a sound system that howled feedback at her as soon as she opened her throat and sang. I have seen her SlnJ!; one line of a son~ and get slugged on the back or the head by a piece of stage scenery that came adrift and fell on her - she staggered, shook her head, sett led herself down and started over.

She finished to cheers, and it wasn't merely approval for the continuance or the old "show must go on " tradition.

She is certainly a pro, every inch of this rather hung.up, slightly over­weight New York girl of Ukrainian parents, but she is not hyped on the old trouper, showbiz is showbiz nonsense. I watched her recording one cut for her forthcom­ing album at a London studio. The first take

knocked me out, but it didn't satisfy Melanie. In fact, as I left a couple of hours later she was discussing a completely new approach with MD John Cameron.

not be anything fancy on a stick, her guitar may indeed need tuning, but she has her own song to sing, her own lifestyle to work out.

In the crossing-categories game that is becoming pop criticism's ti redest cliche (Is Bert Scroggins rock-and-roll's Yehudi Menuhin? Is Fred Nerk the John Hanson of the working men's clubs? Is Rolling Stone the Pol· smoker's War Cry?) they are no doubt working out bags to put Melanie In. I can foresee comparisons with Barbra Streisand. Edith Piaf. Janis Joplin - o r ir you prerer, Judy Garland.

They'll all be wrong. Melanie's bag is going to be her own.

At last, equality It is ~ignificant that

pop progression owes a great deal to the coun­try field-the unchal­lenged leader in pop progression, Bob Dylan, has his musica l roots in country music and un­doubtably his " John Wesley Harding " a l­bum was influenced by his fnendship with Johnny Cash.

The recent combination of their lalents on disc promises to set new hori­zons on which fi nally pop and country mus,c wi ll co• t:>ost on an equal basis. -KEN CLEAVER, Blrken-
