DISK O’ THE WEEK

FRANK SINATRA (Columbia 37978)

"You're My Girl" (3:11)
"Can't You Just See Yourself" (2:57)

The full throated pipes of Frank Sinatra spill a pair that beckon loads of coin.
It’s more top notch music from the musical production “High Button Shoes”,
with Frankie offering “You’re My Girl” and “Can’t You Just See Yourself”. Frank
grabs the floating strings maestro Alex Stordahl makes with to send a shower
of beautiful fragrance right at you. Weaving in slow, simple styling, the ro-
mantic ode the balladeer gives with seems a sure bet for those quiet spots. On
the flip, Frankie once again shows with some wonderful tones to highlight the
message in “Can’t You Just See Yourself”. Both sides should come in for some
heavy play if given adequate plugging. It’s Frank Sinatra at his best — his many
fans will definitely want to grab this platter.

THE DEEP RIVER BOYS (Victor 20-2610)

"What Did He Say" (The Mumble Song) (3:02)
"I'm Sorry I Didn't Say I'm Sorry" (2:47)

Your phono fans are bound to laugh their sides silly once they hear this bit of wax.
The Deep River Boys to the fore with a parody on the now famous Mumbles, to wail
“What Did He Say”. It's some grade A harmony the crew make with replete with the
stuff that adds up to coin play. On the flip the boys show their able wares, as they
switch to the romantic to offer “I’m Sorry I Didn't Say I’m Sorry”. Pacing is slow, with
wordage echoing the title throughout. “What Did He Say” for a slew of coin.

JOHNNY MOORE'S THREE BLAZERS (Exclusive 257)

"It's Over" (2:45)
"Money's Getting Cheaper" (2:30)

The dulcet tones of this cookie should go a long way toward boosting phono
play. It’s Johnny Moore and his Three Blazers doing “It’s Over” and “Money’s
Getting Cheaper”. Top deck spins in slow time, with Charlie Brown vocalizing
sweet throughout. The crew pep up the disk for the flip, with some wonderful
guitar licks by Johnny and Oscar Moore coming in. The Blazers growing flock
of fans are sure to want this pair.

PAUL GAYTEN TRIO (DeLuxe 1105)

"It's Wonderful" (2:40)
"You Go To My Head" (2:56)

More oldie material, and stuff flavored by the Paul Gayten Trio shines here. Offering “It’s Wonderful”
and “You Go To My Head”, Paul and his boys combine to set the stage for some quiet moments of
listening pleasure. Ops should be familiar with this pair of all-time proven coin winners. Gayten’s
instrumental work matches the brilliance of the vocal spot to highlight the disk. Bend an ear in this
direction.

IVORY JOE HUNTER (King 4183)

"San Francisco Blues" (2:42)
"Don't Be No Fool—Fool" (2:58)

Pair of stock race sides for those spots that like ’em wav down deep are offered by
Ivory Joe Hunter here, with the piper’s tonsils filling the bill all the way. Labeled
“San Francisco Blues” and “Don’t Be No Fool—Fool”, Joe nicks ’em up and lays ’em
down throughout, with a mellow beat spilling in the background. Title gives off the
top deck, while the flip comes up with kicks. Both sides are nothing to rave about,
but will nevertheless catch coin adequately.

here, some mellow riff wax that might set the hep crowd hopping again. With Rabon Tarrant to
the fore to wail the hypo wordage of the top deck; the wax takes on top finish. Piper Sammv
Yates grabs the lime for the flip, with loads of kicks offered behind some glory beat in gay time.
The pair rate heavily as items for the race spots.

of coin culling wax. Titled “You’ll Miss Me Sure’s You’re Born” and “Sugar”, Joe steps out in top
notch manner on the pair. Wailing the hypo wordage to the top deck, the maestro makes mellow
moments of music for those race spots. On the flip with the oldie labeled “Sugar”, Joe and the crew
keep the gait to come thru once more.

You can bet your boots on this one! Climbing the sure road to fame via this disk is piper
Kenny Hagood, with a pair of tonsils that are bound to charm and enchant the nation.
Kenny’s tonsils, with a touch of Billy Eskstine therein, flavor the top deck with loads of
beautiful vocal magic, while a slow winding beat fills in the background. On the flip with
the oldie “The Way You Look Tonight”, Kenny comes thru once again for the ops. Haunt-
ing beat blends with the choir boy to set off a chain of sparkling coin- nabbing. You’ll go
for this cookie in a big way — latch on!
