ROY HAMILTON (Epic 9102; 5-9102)

‘‘UNCHAINED MELODY”[Frank ASCAP —Zaret, North]
The dramatic, spine-tingling voice of Roy Hamilton comes over beautifully on this exciting new song that’s breaking for the top. Tremendous performance by the warbler. Should sell a heap of records.

“FROM HERE TO ETERNITY”[Barton ASCAP—Wells, Kaiger]
This side features the songster on a jump item that made some noise about a year ago. Ok side.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE CREWCUTS (Mercury 70597; 70597x45)

“DON’T BE ANGRY” (2:15) [Republic BMI—McCoy, Brown]
The Crewcuts, who had their biggest hit in “Sb-Boom”, a rock and roll smash, delve into the rhythm and blues field and come up with some great material for their latest release. And if this song doesn’t hit the No. 1 spot, nothing will. It’s a sensational jump novelty dubbed “Don’t Be Angry”. In addition to a great tempo, the fabulous La-la-la-la gimmick at the start is just “the most”.

“CHOP CHOP BOOM” (2:30) [Pamlee BMI—Taylor, Smith]
Flip “Chop Chop Boom”, is another hot rocker with a Latin beat. Top half should be the biggest R & B tune to hit the pop field yet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE CASANOVAS (Apollo 471)

“THAT’S ALL” (3:00) [BessBMI—Mayfield]
The Casanovas make a smooth team on their reading of a slow ballad blues pretty. The wax comes off with potent effect and top deck could make some noise.

“ARE YOU FOR REAL” (2:44) [Bess BMI—Bob Woodward]
Under deck is a fast beat jump ditty that the boys drive on. Ok wax and good two sider.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE DANDELIERS (States 147)

CHOP CHOP BOOM” (2:10) [Pamlee BMI—Taylor, Smith]
a quick beat cutie, “Chop Chop Boom,” that has the earmarks of a hit. It has the novelty flavor and vocal treatment that could, given the proper exposure, take off. The group works together smartly with the lead vocal potently handled. Good wax that should not be overlooked.

“MY AUTUMN LOVE” (2:25) [Pamlee BMI—Taylor]
The Dandeliers come up with The flip, “My Autumn Love,” is a slow blues ballad pretty. Lead is again standout as he performs with heartfelt sincerity. Excellent two sider, with the potential for hitdom slightly in favor of “Chop Chop Boom.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE EL DORADOS (Vee-Jay 127)

“LITTLE MISS LOVE” (2:40) [Conrad BMI—Johnny Moore]
The El Dorados blend excitingly on a driving up-beat with good results.

“ONE MORE CHANCE” (3:08) [Conrad BMI—Johnny Moore]
The El Dorados come up with a very strong wax in their treatment of the slow bouncer romantic tune. A smooth working team that give their etchings that little bit extra. Could make noise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SONNY FISHER (Storday 179; 45-179)

“HOLD ME BABY” [Starrite BMI—Fisher]
Sonny Fisher applies his refreshing vocal talents to an up-beat, rhythmic piece and the end result is a dandy, relaxing platter.

“ROCKIN’ DADDY” [Starrite BMI—Fisher]
Bottom half is a quick beat, bluesy piece with a snappy set of lyrics. Two listenable decks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CARL PERKINS (Flip 501; 45-501)

“MOVIE MAGG” [Hi-Lo BMI—Perkins]
Carl Perkins comes through with a zestful performance on a tantalizing, quick tempo romantic opus. Looks like the best place for Carl to woo his gal is at the Saturday night picture show.

“TURN AROUND” [Hi-Lo BMI —Perkins]
Under side is a slow beat, tearful item that Perkins treats to a warm reading.
