GET A JO
Were writing this on Wednesday, July 29th, 1987, a day on which a lead story in the L.A. Times concerns the future of two of our favorite people, Jim and Tammy Bakker. In the story, Tammy, wearing "a brown pant suit with plunging neckline" notes that she and Jim aren't certain about their future. All they know, at the moment, is that they're driving a rented Ryder truck from Palm Springs to a little town in the Tennessee hills, and when they get there they'll determine their job options. Tammy, who was on her way to an automatic teller machine to withdraw funds for gas, told The Times, "We have to be very careful about money, but we want to start a new ministry...it's our
calling." We in the record industry should take notice of these two charismatic figures and give them a hand. We distinguished ourselves with "We Are The World" and Hands Across America. We gave ourselves an altruistic image with BandAid and FarmAid, and yet we ignore the obvious...namely the fact that if anyone should care about The Bakkers it should be us. We're not talking charity, either. Think about these electric figures on your promotion staff. I mean consider the possibilities: You're Jhani Kaye, powerful PD of L.A.'s highly rated KOST- Radio. You're worn out and
drained by the boring and repetitive calls from the same old promo guys and gals when your secretary Zelda announces an incoming call from Jim B. Jim's working the new Little Steven, offers to personally pray with you AND take you to lunch. Although your format doesn't usually include Alternative Rock material, his dynamic super -sales sincerity is hard to resist...you add the
record! Let's put it this way; if WE were a manufacturer, we'd give Jimsy an unlimited expense account, load his truck with CDs and send the dude on the road. Satter, Palmese, Fagot, Quartararo...are you listening? Let's go to Tammy: Who better for your 13

national Country promotion staff? You don't think SHE'D have a problem getting Elma on the phone, do you? Hell, if WE were a Country programmer and heard all that heartfelt mascara dripping all over the phone, we'd toss out George Strait AND Alabama and add whatEVER the hell she's working. Bruce Hinton please take note. We've noticed very little in the way of advance Pope promotion by radio. Surely His upcoming visit is the natural source of a thousand promotions. Pope hats could be awarded in bikini competitions. Wet Papal Robe contests should be proliferating. Billy Brill should be on the horn planning joint Jets -Pope appearances at inner city high schools. Pope -sides, Lolly -Popes and other premiums should be well past the R &D stage. Let's go further: A national promo director (Martucci ?) contacts El Popesville and promises a sizeable contribution to His anti -Joan Rivers fund, in return for a few actualities phoned to KWAV's Michael Reading and San Jose's Bonnie "Engine "Knox. Don't you people THINK these days? Let's go quickly to Peter Holm. Joan Collins' estranged and much publicized husband has had hours of national exposure on the Dan Rather news, as well as a full hour on Donahue and endless interviews on Larry King Live and other highly viewed TV spots. In all of these shows, the personable Peter seems to be giving us a hint. "I'm unemployed," he states over and over. "I don't know WHAT I'm going to do for a living" Come on guys...wake up and smell the Danish Marys! If WE were Sherwood or Joe Smith, we'd sign the straggly- haired Swedish Meatball to a multi-year contract and get him out among 'em. If you were a bored MD, tired of the same ol' promo rap, wouldn't you respond to an international gigolo like Pete -sy checking in with the newloey & The Doorknobs? This next one may not seem logical because of the protagonist's current fame (as of 8:30 this AM), but we maintain that 011ie North's fifteen minutes as a

celeb may be nearing the finale of it's quarter-hour share...and so we say to any enterprising label... get him NOW while he's still semi -hot and put him on the phone with radio. Any station sick of yours truly, and friends of your truly, would be thrilled to hear from the gap -toothed guy of the moment. You SAY you want more airplay but your
creative juices must have curdled. Someone should pick up on this fast and then watch for 011ie's nomination of Poe Promo Guy of The Year (corporate). Ed Meese is another natural for our business. The guy looks like Ed McMahon (certainly an accepted beloved figure) and the words, "highhhhh-ohhh" would be a nice promotional opening. A big ol' cuddly teddy -bear of a guy like Ed is a natural for your A/C division. He exudes a warm believability and appears to be a guy who'd have absolutely no trouble with the new Hornsby, Vega or Edwin Hawkins Singers. Ideas flow like flavored Perrier at this office, and here's another thought, Messrs Thyret, Fitzgerald and Hey: The scenario goes something like this: Your promotion people are wimping out. They're -God forbid --TAKING "NO" FOR AN ANSWER! You need new blood...a promotion guy who will not ask for, but DEMAND airplay! The solution is John McEnroe. This guy's tennis days are winding down. He's not really in
shape anymore and is merely faking it. But his feisty qualities haven't died. He's cranky as hell, as we'd be if the contentious Ryan O'Neal were our father-in -law Picture having THIS gut on your staff, Mr. Minor. Some PD says, "We had a down book and have to be conservative." McEnroe counters with "Add the f...ing record, antelope- breath, or shove this racket where the sun don't shine!!!" Hope you get the ideas, guys...all we're saying is, there are new methods, ideas and concepts. Your problem is not thinking of them and having to read them here! the GAVIN REPORT /August 7,1987

SPOTLIGHT PROMOTION OF THE WEEK CORPUS DELECTI Last year, the Fun Bunch at K99Corpus Christi staged a "Murder Mystery" promotion aboard a train. This year, they decided, 'Why don't we do it in the air ?" Five listeners
chosen from 4,000 entries were invited aboard a Southwest Airlines flight to Dallas, where actors from the Ritz /Encore theater performed a two -act mystery, featuring parodies of President Reagan and his family, and Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Four out of five finalists guessed whodunnit, so a drawing determined the grand prizewinner, who won roundtrip airfare for two to any Southwest Airline destination.

Ten Years Later, the King's Friends Reminisce By Dave Sholin with special assistance by Lisa Austin
en years have passed since Elvis Presley died. People still love him. His music still affects people's lives and the record business he has helped build has mushroomed into
the entertainment industry. Back in the Fifties, it was outrageous when Elvis became a movie star after so many hit records. Today, music stars as celluloid heroes can be almost taken for granted. As a youngster, I spent hours in front of the mirror mimicking Elvis. His moves onstage. How he combed his hair. How he walked and talked. I still have vivid memories of his big 1956 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Yet most important, Elvis Presley changed my life because I really feel his music pushed me into my career in radio. When I attended his 1973 live satellite concert in Hawaii, Elvis looked and sounded spectacular. As always, Elvis gave it his all. As part of this tribute, we decided to talk to some of Elvis' fellow passengers in his unparalleled ride to the top. Folks like: Mr. Blue Suede Shoes --Carl Perkins. Gordon Stoker --one of the fabulous Jordanaires singing group. D. J. Fontana -- Elvis' original drummer. Joe Esposito --an army buddy who became his road manager and confidante. Fortunately, everyone chosen took a moment of his or her busy time to share a few fond memories of Elvis. Their accounts prove that ten years after his death, Elvis lives! Special thanks to Don Wardell and Mike Becce of RCA Records for their assistance. Thanks also to RCA Records for re- releasing the best of Elvis' music (particularly the legendary Sun Sessions) into glowing digital sound. DAVE SHOLIN
In the Gavin Report of August 19, 1977, our late founder, Bill Gavin, reflected on Elvis Presley, who had died three days earlier. he closest I ever came to him in person was the audience for his first Las Vegas appearance at the International Hotel. And yet his career as a singer roughly paralleled mine as a programmer. During the early '50s, when Elvis was recording for Sam Phillips, I was programming a 30-minute record show five nights a week on KNBC (now KNBR). In 1955, when I joined McCann -Erickson to program their "Lucky Lager Dance Time," Elvis signed his contract with RCA and started recording under the A &R direction of a man who later became one of our dearest friends, Steve Sholes. In that same year, I had managed to swallow my first aversion to rock and roll and to program Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock." But when I heart_ clvis singing "Heartbreak Hotel," I said, "No way!" I'd been programming records by Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Doris Day and such, and my ear wasn't yet tuned to Elvis. Eugene Selvage, the president of Lucky Lager, asked me about this new singing sensation, "Elvin Presley." (Mr. Selvage always called him Elvin.) I said we weren't playing his record because it didn't suit our image. He said, "Well, the people seem to like it- -better play it." From then on, of course, Elvis was the number one star on our program for many years, as he was for millions of fans almost everywhere. His dynamic impact on popular music tastes opened wide doors for the parade of other rock and roll performers. It might have happened without Elvis, but he was the catalyst --the spark that kindled a musical revolution. Red Robinson of CKWX- Vancouver recalls that when he emceed the first Beatles concert up there, John Lennon told him, "If it hadn't been for Elvis Presley, we wouldn't be here tonight ". That same thing could truly be said by many of us today! And now he is gone. The widespread expressions of grief and a deep sense of loss demonstrate the affection in which he was held by so many people. For he was bigger than rock and roll. His songs were very much a part of all our lives. They still are --and will be for many years to come.
JOAN DEARY started as a secretary in RCA's A&R department and then went on to be a manager of creative services, then manager of A&R administration and eventually a director of product development for the West Coast. he first memory I have is one I can still see in my mind right now, and that is the first time I ever saw Elvis. I was a secretary in New York working for Steve Sholes, the head of the Country & Western artist and repertoire department. He did all of Elvis' recordings in those early days. Elvis was coming in to discuss a session with Steve, and I went out to the elevator to meet him. He got off the elevator, gave me this great big grin, shook my hand and said, "Hello ma'am." Anybody who's ever seen Elvis' smile or laugh knows how contagious it is. It was just an incredible thing that I could remember this now. We're talking about 1955. That's going back a very, very long time. The second memory that sticks out in my mind was the Aloha
427
Show in Hawaii in January of 1973. Elvis was the first one out at the edge of the stage, waiting for the signal that we were going on the air. I thought that was very unusual. Normally, the star is the last one to arrive, not the first. And he was just standing there very, very quietly, waiting to go on --the ultimate professional.
GORDON STOKER was a member of The Jordanaires, who sang backup on many of Elvis' giant hits, including "All Shook Up, "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel." never cease to be amazed. It seems we get more calls as the years roll by. A lot of times disc jockeys will call us while they are playing records in the background, and most of the time I know what year the particular record they're playing in the background was recorded. They usually ask me why Elvis' music has stayed around so long. I say, "What about that record you're playing in the background ?" I did three duets with Elvis, one being "All Shook Up." Does it sound like a 27-year -old record to you? Elvis' music will always remain fresh because he meant every word he was saying in each one of the songs. Of all the great artists that the Jordanaires have done background for, Elvis Presley was the only guy who could get in front of the microphone and sing without a word sheet. He could listen to a demo a few times and get up and sing it by memory. Just absolutely incredible! Everybody else would have their eyes glued to the words. I shall never forget the date we did "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." On that particular session, he told us about this little girl he'd met in Germany, how pretty she was, what gleaming beautiful eyes she had, and how he'd never forget her. He said, "Even though she's several years younger than I am, I'll never get her out of my system." I'll never forget the gleam that boy had in his eye when he told us about Priscilla. I don't think I've ever looked into a person's eyes and seen the sparkle he had in his eyes. I think that's what Elvis is actually thinking about when he sang, "Can't Help Falling In Love With You." Every time I hear it, I get cold chill bumps. On the end of it, he wanted me to hit a high note. You'll notice on the end I went up on a high note on "you." I just absolutely froze when we did the song because it was so beautiful. I think it's one of the prettiest songs we ever did with him. It just meant more to us because of the situation of him with Priscilla. The greatest memory, though, was just sitting around the piano singing spirituals. I mean, this guy would sing spirituals all night long, all day long, time after time, day after day. He loved to sit in the studio or at home down at Memphis or even here in Nashville and sing, sing, sing. Ninety percent of the songs were religious. He would sing all parts except the tenor part. That was my part. He sang the baritone, the lead, and the bass super. He really wanted to be a bass singer. He absolutely flipped over bass singers. He had an incredible range --I think more of a range than any artist we have ever worked with. It was just something that came out of him because he enjoyed it so much. He didn't think he was doing anything different from anybody else. I don't know how many times I heard the guy say, "I can't sing, I can't dance, what do they want me for ?" We'd always say "Man, you've got what it takes, give it to 'em." the GAVIN REPORT/August 7, 1987
D.J. FONTANA was Elvis' drummer from the beginning through the '60s.
type guy in everything he tried to do. He wanted to sing well. He wanted his fans, first of all, to like him. That was the important thing for him --to have the fans on his side. He really concentrated on that end of it. He really couldn't do it for about eight or ten years because of the movie thing. Then he came back with that '68 special and he was a nervous wreck. We were sitting back in the dressing room and he said, "What do you think we ought to do? Do you think they'll like us after all these years being away from the general public?" I said, "Elvis, all you can do is go out there and try like you always do and do the best you can." We did the Sinatra show in 1960, when he first got out of the Army, and then he started doing pictures. That tied him up until 1968. And then he was ready to go back on the road and get familiar with his fans again. In some of those pictures we'd do seven to ten songs for one picture, plus three or four throwaway songs. It was really hard to remember a lot of them. I remember the early songs because we took our time. I loved it when he would sing "It's Now Or Never." I'd just play real quiet. There's not one thing that will pinpoint what kind of guy he was. He was always laughing and cutting up. He was quite a joker. People don't really understand that. He had a hell of a sense of humor. When someone would pull some joke on him, he'd never forget it. A year from then, he'd pay you back. I'd say, "Why did you do that ?" He'd say, "You remember last year, such and such a time, we were going down the road in Texas," whatever, he'd remember. He'd do this to me year after year. He'd always say, "Well, I didn't forget." He never forgot a thing. e was a special

Nelson and Conway Twitty and Tommy Sands and those guys took over. But when Elvis came back, BOOM! The King was back. He regained his crown and went onward and upward. Another milestone was in '68 or '69. Steve Binder wanted to do that TV special. I remember they had a meeting and they used the word "comeback." Elvis stopped them cold in their tracks and said, "Wait a minute guys, this is not a damn comeback. I've been doing motion pictures." I think Rolling Stone called it one of the all -time great TV concerts. And I think it was. It proved he still was The King. From there he went back into doing live concerts, which was his first love. He sold out in Vegas and he sold out on the road everywhere. When he wanted to do it, he could do it. I remember after the '68 comeback he said, "Okay, I want to cut some hit records. I'm ready to do hit records again." So he came to Memphis and did "Suspicious Minds," "Don't Cry Daddy," "The Ghetto," "Kentucky Rain " --all those great songs. The bottom line was he believed in himself and he knew that he was good. He wasn't cocky or anything, but he knew that he was good, and he studied his trade. He really did. He studied movies. He studied singing on his own at home and he practiced at home a lot. It just wasn't a lucky thing. He was ready.
JERRY SCHILLING, one of Elvis' closest friends and a member of the so- called "Memphis Mafia." He is still active in the music industry as an artist manager. 'm from Memphis. I met Elvis in 1954 and continued a relationship for 23 years. I was in grade school and he was just out of high school. He and some guys were
playing football and they didn't have enough older guys to play, so they used to let me play with them. It became somewhat of a Sunday ritual.

Gehron has spent 13 years at WLS and sister Z95, most recently as Operations Director for the AM side. CBS Radio Division President Robert Hosking, noting that Gehron

We're delighted to have him back to continue the development of WMRQ." The former WHTT has nowhere to go but up. Its switch to soft rock last year has yet to gain the attention of Beantown. Naglei s move signals the departure of the last of the founders of the RKO network news operation (Dave Cook and Jo Interrante were his predecessors). Harvey's accomplishments earned these plaudits from WCBS VP /GM Ed Kiernan: "He has the mixture of newsgathering experience and leadership ability that transfers well from a network operation to an all -news station in the nation's largest and most vibrant market."

The playlist-Sade, Brian Ferry, David Sanborn, etc. -is designed to appeal to "disenfranchised" 25 -49s, he says, adding, 'The station has a palatable texture, not sleepy or sluggish, or jarring and abrasive." That may sound like New Age Jazz, but the station will never admit it, at least on the air. 'The people we're trying to reach don't think they like jazz," Feinstein notes. 'We let the product speak for itself." By day, the station is

RADIO'S UPSCALE APPEAL REVEALED
Joe Ely (right) takes time out to greet fan Keith Richards backstage at the Lone Star Cafe in El Apple Grande.
A survey of the country's 1,000 largest corporations found executives spend more time listening to radio than watching TV. The Accountemps study found execs spend 7.6 hours a week listening to the radio, compared to 6.5 hours in front of the tube. Pop music was their favorite radio programming (42 %), followed by news (28 %), classical music (18 %), talk (9 %) and sports (3 %). The survey found 26% of the executives listen to more than 10 hours of radio a week, while 28% average less than three hours.

"Another strong benefit of making the switch was that everyone in our sales staff has sold Top 40 time. You have to know how to sell Top 40, you have to know its strengths. The sales staff were the biggest supporters behind the change a hundred and ten percent."
this format change makes so much sense is that everyone at the station has done Top 40. It's simply a matter of plugging music in and letting them go crazy." The station will go head -to-head against Y108 because, Dave says, 'They're the one with all the listeners."

LIMITATIONS OF MUSIC TESTING With the decline of singles sales, stations are relying more and more heavily on "music testing" as a means of determining what their listeners like best and most want to hear. This concept originated with Top 40 many years ago; the whole principle upon which Top 40 is based is playing anything acceptable which is popular, regardless of what it sounds like. The Berlin Philharmonic's performance of Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" have been among the surprise Top 40 successes of the past. The hits of the day, taken as a whole, act as a cultural mirror, which is why Top 40 has always had appeal for a large age span. So it helps to know what the hits of the day are! Research is how you find out. Top 40 is in an enviable position because it is at the cutting edge of where the culture is going, and thus singles sales (insofar as they are selling to the hip kids), and telephone requests (even from the same active group), are helpful indicators. Auditorium testing can also be helpful for Top 40 and current -rock formats, since participants are highly influenced even by barely perceptible audience reactions in these settings- -and the trend -setters have a tendency to know the music better, to be more opinionated, and to influence the rest of the audience more. In Top 40 and current Album Radio rock formats, there is such a thing as "burnout " --when the hippest group tires of something. Testing can show the "burnout." However, stations have made some major mistakes in adopting these procedures -- particularly those stations appealing to "passive" adults who seldom make a point of buying or requesting records and often don't recognize the names of most artists or the titles of their favorites. August 7, 1987/the GAVIN REPORT
And I can't help but feel some research companies may have encouraged these mistakes for reasons of their own. For this audience, there is no 'burnout." These listeners know immediately how they feel about each new record, and they keep on feeling that way for years and years...until excessive repetition or the passage of time makes those songs seem irrelevant. Yet we've seen these mistakes made by A/C stations and other formats with similar audience characteristics: They test only familiar records, because they can't get reactions to the "hooks" from each song until the song is recognizable. What they do is ask for a logical (left brain) reaction to an emotional (right brain) experience. The answers tend to be very misleading. All this sort of callout (or auditorium) testing shows is familiarity. Think of that --you can't test till the music is familiar, and what you establish in the test is that it is familiar!! By basing whatever results they get on familiarity and ignoring relevance, they wind up playing familiar, but often irrelevant, music. Oldie formats grow fast on their novelty, but die fairly fast too, of irrelevance. New records- -the lifeblood of any "today" (relevant) format --are not tested. The conventional view is that, since testing depends on familiarity, it cannot be done for new records. This is nonsense. Even "passive" listeners almost react immediately to specific songs, and seldom change their reactions from then on. Accurate music testing for so-called "passive" audiences should be done for a wide variety of new records. The incredible proliferation of oldies on AM adult music stations may help explain why AM may seem irrelevant to the 25-40 age group that demonstrably will listen to AM when they are given what they want.
By basing whatever results they get on familiarity and ignoring relevance, they wind up playing familiar, but often irrelevant, music. I am frequently asked how I test current music for my A/C music research newsletter. I have now given away most of the secret. Find any adults typical of your audience (cross- reference their tastes with data you trust). From that group, find those few who care so little about their "importance" in your system that they give you honest, offhand reactions; put them in a focus group- -and test new or old music! For the first time ever --and at very little cost-- you'll have a workable system for testing music for the "passive adult audience." Those who've tried it have found it actually does improve the ratings --as you might expect if you play what your audience likes the best! And you'll find the best records to play from this type of testing will come out considerably differently from what the other "testing" methods indicate for this type of adult audience. If you'd like to see the results I get for A /C, I'd be happy to send you a free copy of my newsletter. Write me at 1837 S.E. Harold Street, Portland, OR 97202 -4932.

leader of the Stamps Quartet, performed with Elvis at many concerts and on his later hits like "Way Down." J. D. SUMNER,
i
hen he was 14 years old, he used to come to our concerts. I was with The Blackwood Brothers in Memphis. That's when I met him, and I knew him from then until he passed away -- knowing he must have been God -chosen for his time in history, knowing of his talent. He had something about him that I've never seen in anybody else. Charisma is what I call it. His generosity and his love for mankind, his love for everybody that he could be in contact with, the kindness of those around him, I've never met a man like him. I think he lived at the proper time and died at the proper time. He had accomplished everything that he was supposed to have accomplished in his life. He had lived it to its fullest and _ think if ever a song was written for a man, it was "My Way." That's my conception of Elvis Presley. He never listened to his own music. He listened to gospel music. He listened to everything that was recorded from The Blackwood Brothers to The Statesmen. Even to the far lesser-known groups. I was in his house recording one Sunday morning. I was waiting for him to come down. We'd been there all night, and he had not come down to record. He came down about five minutes to eight. He said, "You guys go on home." We got paid anyway. He let it be known that all he wanted was to be together. He paid us whether we sang or whether we didn't. He said, "I don't want to sing any tonight. I want to listen to The Florida Boys," a TV program. I couldn't believe it. So, I jumped into a car that he had given me, a limousine. My wife was at the hotel and I drove as fast as I could. I said, "Cut on channel so and so and see if The Florida Boys are on." And sure enough they were on. So his love was definitely gospel music. He would have The Stamps Quartet come to his suite after each show. I think the minimum that we ever sang was an hour, sometimes five or six. It would almost kill you, the way he wanted to sing gospel music. If you've ever been to any one of his shows, he'd put every bit that he could afford to put in there. Anytime he could put a gospel song in, well, he put it in. When we were doing "Elvis On Tour," he emphasized to the producer that he wanted a gospel music segment. We did it in the RCA studios in LA. He had us sing "Sweet, Sweet Spirit," we were in, I believe, Virginia, while nothing else was going on. If you've ever seen "Elvis On Tour," you've seen those scenes. I was ten years older than Elvis and I think that each of us played our part in his life. I was in charge of his funeral. I picked out the minister. I picked out the songs and the singers. And I picked them out because Vernon wanted me to because he said that I knew more about what Elvis would want than he would know. I knew the very heart of Elvis Presley and the intimate desires. I believe that Elvis Presley is in heaven because I believe that God makes those decisions and not Albert Goldman. JOE ESPOSITO was Elvis' road manager from 1960 to 1977.
met him in the Army in 1959. He took me on leave to Paris with him one time. I had become friends with him just a month and a half before. Now here's a kid out of Chicago, never was around show business, just .. -worked in an office all my life. We go to Paris and we're staying at the George Cinq Hotel. We went to the Lido to
see all the gorgeous women there. They all came back to the hotel with us after the show. Now we're talking about twenty -five gorgeous, gorgeous women, okay? I thought I'd died and went to heaven. The next morning I wake up after everybody had had a good time. I'm stepping over gorgeous women laying around all over the floor. I mean it's just unbelievable. Here's a kid out of Chicago that didn't know what's going on, and all of sudden that's the life I was thrown into with him. It was just an amazing first-class type thing. As far as Elvis as an individual goes, I'd say if Elvis was your friend he was your friend all the way. No matter what you needed, he would stop everything else to help you out, financially, personally, advise you on things. He was a very, very close friend. And with all the problems he had in his own world, to be that good of a friend that would stop everything for you, to me that's very important. With Elvis, nothing was more
important than friendship.
CARL PERKINS, fellow Sun
Records artist who sang the original "Blue Suede Shoes."
hen I think of him, I think of America in full bloom. He was in his prime when I first met him--so healthy, vivacious and talented, good looking. If you were going to make somebody, if you had the parts to make an artist with, you'd just about turn out something like him. He had the charisma, definitely the talent, voice and style. He was probably the most total entertainer I ever knew. He didn't realize that back in those days. He knew he was striking on something. I think we all did at Sun Records because the crowds were coming alive. When they'd start screaming and Elvis would turn it on, you know, movin' and taking that mike off the stand, whippin' that guitar behind his back. Those kids were biting their fingernails and not even knowing it until the show was over. I've met the Beatles, the Stones and some awfully big successful artists, but nobody ever moved him away from the top. He just scooted over as they came up there. To get there and hold it for 25 years or more like he did--I doubt we'll ever see another like him in our lifetime--maybe never. The people walking around Graceland that are hoping somewhere in their soul they will somehow step in a track that he made. That's loyalty. Some of those people now are my age, 55. They've got a lot of silver around their hair, but they love him because they remember when. When your life has projected something that deep into the soul of man, it's going to stay around. I always admired the cheerfulness about him. I've heard so many people say through the years, "Carl, if you'd had a Colonel Tom Parker, you'd been another Elvis." I don't mind them saying that, but that's not the way it is. The Colonel did open a lot of doors for Elvis, such as getting him the big network television shows, but he never opened a door that Presley couldn't walk through and stay in there. You've got to be super talented to do that. He's one of the most talented guys I ever knew.

ON MANAGEMENT
Dr
Haran
WHEN LISTENING IS BETTER THAN READING Several years ago, Tom Peters, co-author of In Search of Excellence and A Passion for Excellence, was teaching at Stanford University, when an MBA student stood up during a discussion of
a
market research and told the class the following (I'm paraphrasing the words a little, since I wasn't there): "I'm an engineer at (one of the Big Three U.S. automakers). For years, we received reams of marketing data indicating Americans were becoming dissatisfied with domestic cars. We knew all the numbers about the Japanese and the Europeans and the exact percentages of market share they'd taken. We had loads of data on demographics. We knew everything about which group was buying what. And we knew we were losing ground to the foreign competition. But that was all in our heads. In our guts, we thought everything was okay. That's because in Detroit, all you see are American cars. You're driving on the highway and you rarely see a foreign car. So we became complacent. wed read the numbers, but it was all abstract. They didn't grab us in the belly. "Then I came here to California, and I became terrified. Wherever I drove, I saw imports, everywhere imports, and sometimes hardly any domestic autos. It was so vivid that I finally got it -a lot of Americans don't like American cars. Just being here taught me something all the numbers and reports didn't: We're in big trouble if we don't get our act together." Now let's shift gears and move to an airplane where I'm sitting, returning from a business trip a few months ago. My neighbor in the next seat turns out to be a marketing director for one of the big beer manufacturers in the U.S. He tells me this story: "Whenever I go to another city on a business trip, I always try to do a little informal market research. I go to bars- hotel bars, out -of-the -way bars, working -class bars, yuppie bars-and just watch and listen, nursing a beer. I see what people are ordering, what the bartender recommends. I ask people why they're ordering certain brands, and so on. "A year or so ago, I noticed a lot of people -- especially in upscale and yuppie bars -were ordering this funny Mexican beer called 'Corona' in a weird -looking
bottle. It didn't make sense to me, but I felt I was seeing a serious competitior emerging, and maybe some new trend in the marketplace. "I went back to my superiors and made the case that we'd better check into this 'Corona' stuff to find out why people were buying it, and what we could do to compete with it. Their reaction was that I was paranoid. 'What's your research? Sitting in a couple bars? Where's your data? Who's your sample? Is it representative? Where's a report on your
findings?' "They wanted reports. They wanted pie charts and graphs and means and regression lines and models. They didn't believe me, but I knew I was right, because I'd seen it with my own eyes. "And of course, Corona has mushroomed and taken away a large chunk of our market share. We've been playing catch -up ever since. We'll probably come back, but who knows how many millions of dollars we'll have lost in the process ?" The moral of both stories is this: Customers purchase products and services -not reports. When we observe, talk to, and listen to them, we get very different data and perspectives than we do from reports. Managers spend lots of time writing reports and reading them. They don't spend enough time with the real live human beings who purchase their goods, or choose not to. Reports can give us some valuable data, but they can never replace the data we get from observing and talking to customers. Reports are neat, tidy and logical; customers are often irrational, unpredictable and messy. Reports summarize lots of data; customers give you very specific feedback. Reports are abstract; a customer telling you why he likes or doesn't not like what you're selling is pretty concrete. Reports can be so overwhelming in size and scope as to be meaningless; listening to customers sincerely is never meaningless. Reports are often vague and general; customers' comments and behavior are pretty
Customers purchase products and services --not reports. When we observe, talk to and listen to them, we get very different data and perspectives than we do from reports.
but also from knowing the people who will decide whether or not to spend their money on you. My experience confirms the stories above: observing and listening to real -life customers often gets you better data than all the reports in the world. In one of the most successful profitable hospitals in the U.S., all the managers personally interview up to five patients a
week. Sure, they read marketing reports and consumer research reports. But they know those reports will never replace those interactions with those patients. They know it's the patients who are footing the bills and recommending the hospital to others -not the reports. Having said all this, let me ask you: How do you spend your time? Reading and writing reports--or observing and talking to customers?
specific. In short, managers are often drowning in data, but they don't have enough knowledge. Knowledge comes not only from a 200 -page report and slide show, 34

NE "Elvis Is Evervwhere' -MOJO NIXON /SKID ROPER (Enigma) Elvis is everywhere, especially all through this week's Gavin. Now is the time for Mojo Nixon to really put his "tally -wacker" on the line. He is a 100% rock n roll personality. 'Elvis Is Everywhere' is the Nixonian wit in overdrive. Impeach Nixon, play Mojo.

"Some Guys"- BONNIE HAYES (Chrysalis) Bonnie Hayes shows some embarrassing insight here. As a "guy," can hear some of my gang in the verses. Maybe that's the hook of the song. Around this town, Bonnie Hayes has established a reputation as a stylist of many colors. She's fronted quartets playing rock n roll and has appeared as a solo, playing music not unlike Laura Nyro or other serious female artists. She's always relied on an intelligent edge to get the point across. This one features a polished pop profile, but check out the words. As a songwriter, her outlook is unique and fresh. I
'Hang On St. Christopher" -TOM WAITS (Island) The music of Tom Waits personifies the night. Not _: that you're liable to hear him doing a Michelob commercial. It seems that Waits truly has urban Hysteria-DEF LEPPARD (MercupO voodoo in his blood. About once a year he chooses saw Def Lep's first tour, opening for an unsuspecting Pat Travers. After their brief set, it was to vent his veins and splash some music our way. Last year's Rain Dogs was a time- delayed success obvious that megastardom was just around the for me. This track comes from Franks Wild Years, corner. That all came with Pyromania, one of the which is also the name of his successful off- Broadbiggest selling hard rock albums of all time. Then way play. Viva Tom Waits and his city jungle voodoo Hysteria set in. Over a year's worth of recording rock. with Jim Steinman was scrapped. Safely back in the arms of Robert "Mutt" Lange, whatever deviation the band set out to show the world has been substituted with the same ingredients that set Pyromania apart. But listening through to Hysteria made me realize the price Def Leppard paid running back to Lange. Crediting Lange as a co- writer is a clue as to how vital he was to reviving Def Lep's focus. The backbeat intermingling with guitar and drums a la AC/DC are used throughout. The vocals and harmonies are heavily and electronically treated. The Lange computer drum sound (used extensively throughout The Car's Heartbeat City) is massively present and accounted for. This is Heroes & Zeroes -GLEN BURTNICK (A &M) high-ticket rock n roll. Correspondents mention trax Like it shows on the pictures, this boy plays his guitar like "Women," 'Rocket" and "Love Bites.' My upside down. Guys like Bryan Adams paved the way favorite is still side two's opener, 'Gods Of War." and took lumps so artists like Glen Budnick can just "Mary Goes Round" -LIONS & GHOSTS (EMI be themselves and play direct, pedal -to- the -metal
"Something Real (Inside Me/Inside You) " -MR. MISTER (RCA) Mr. Mister takes full command of what it takes to make a song aurally cut through. "Something Real" has some powerful playing. Mr. Mister's new single is full -force aggression with an in-your -face mix. After Here Through Midland -COCK ROBIN (Columbia) Not to be overlooked, Cock Robin's new album debuts their slimmed -down personnel of two. This is the lushest project that producer Don Gehman has ever associated himself with. Under the power of cannon drums and solid bottom. Peter Kingsbery and Anna LaCazio bolster their songs with weaving synth lines and skyward guitar leads. Aside from the single, 'Just Around The Corner," there's "El Norte" that, like the movie of the same name, questions the sanity of 20th century life in the food chain. Here's an album that, once the time is invested, pays off twofold in power and taste. "Bonnie Jean (Little Sister)" -DAVID LYNN JONES (Mercury) Another cool dip at the American Country well.

I by Kent Zimmerman
"Don't take any prisoners. " -Detroit Tigers Manager Sparky Anderson to members of the Dead Milkmen. RED BADGE OF COURAGE. Is wearing a Grateful Dead T-shirt that big of a deal? Over the weekend, bro Keith Zimmerman of the Gavin Top Forty camp was clad in bones and roses as we innocently strolled down the avenue just off the University of California Berkeley campus. Amazingly enough Keith was stopped twice in one block by well wishers and Deadheads. Finally he was approached on the second block by a man and his microphone. Turned out to be KFOG Newsman Scoop Nisker walking his beat, which included asking Keith about his Grateful Dead shirt. "If I'd known it was going to raise this much of a fuss, I would have dressed bland." ON THE BEACH. While on two week holiday (!!!) WLIR's Larry The Duck was basking on some deserted Hawaiian beach with his radio tuned to KPOI- Honolulu. Lately Hawaii is being terrorized by a series of demented bombings. This particular day the bomber called in a threat to KPOI. An angry Andy Preston responded on the air with, "This moron is not threatening this station." Still, the station was evacuated and searched Listeners were entertained by tracking the entire Elton John Live In Australia...Incidently, the WLIR SCREAMER OF THE WEEK was Echo & The Bunnymen's "Lips Like Sugar." JONATHAN THINKS HE'S FRENCH. Jonathan L. of KEYX- Phoenix advises the following Alternativers combing the Joe Ely for the hip track. "Try 'My Baby Thinks She's French "'...WBCN adds Joe Ely's "Lord Of The Highway" along with John Mellencamp's "Paper In Fire" and Starship's Yogism "(It Aín't Over Til) It's Over"...Give an ear to Lyle Lovett, urges KTAO -Taos MD Bill Evans. "He's way beyond country." Bill expects to add Glen Burtnick to the hip KTAO playlist this week...Dave Hatton at KMED in Medford adds more Starship ( "Babylon ") plus The Bears (last week's Record To Watch) and The Brandos...Mike Marrone at WHTG -Asbury Park delivers this warning. "Look out for 'Prime Mover' by England's Zodiac Mind Warp. This has to come out domestically. It's every type of music in one." Zodiac mixes metal and dance, and are quite the rage according to my spies...As usual, the hard stuff is going over big with Ron Garrett at KRXQ /93 Rock in Sacramento. Guns & Roses, Faster Pussycat and Def Lep flourish...I was glad to hear about Geffen changing the Guns & Roses front cover. Actually, I didn't give the artwork much notice. Upon closer inspection, I wish I had. It's quite brutal. xCONGRATS. Best wishes to WXRT's Norm Winer and Wendy on their recent wedding. Lin Brehmer fought the urge to .
45
add Paul Stookey s "Wedding Song ," opting instead for John Mellencamp...KLOL Houston just turned 17 this week. That means it can start acting cantankerous, totalling cars and disobeying its parents. What the hell, Norm and Wendy, you can act cantankerous, total cars and disobey authority figures as well. JUICY BRUCEY. I was surprised that
NME printed such a blatant smear of Bruce Springsteen in their July 18th edition. After all, the guy is only a human being. Something like this would never have reached print five years ago... "Totally hot" at WFNX -Beantown is how they describe "Out Of Hand" by Mighty Lemon Drops. The PD, INSIDE ALBUM CONTINUED ON PAGE 47
INSIDE ALTERNATIVE RADIO by Peter Standish The top three continue their fierce grip on the chart, but Echo & The Bunnymen hold a very slim lead as X threatens to regain the crown. Paul Kelly breaks the top ten and is getting excellent response from John Koski, WRVU -Nashville. 10,000 Maniacs are gaining fanatical support from Valarie Pittman, WRAS- Atlanta, Brett Brooks, KUNV -Las Vegas and Arthur Burris, WPRB -Princeton. The 4 A.D. Compilation is headed for the top ten as are The Dead Milkmen, who continue to ring the phones for Steve Balcom, WXYC -Chapel Hill, and John Jesser, WOXY -Cincinnati. They're also gaining lots of press in the sports pages from Detroit Tiger rookie Jim Walewander, who's a big fan. Icicle Works and Sonic Youth continue to grow while a leaping New Model Army is drawing raves from Mike Summers, KRPN -Salt Lake City, Anita Ammons, WUOG-Athens and Matt Potolsky, KDVS- Davis. New Order is among the most requested for Deb Brady,
predicts, "It looks like it's going to happen." The Screaming Trees are among the most active records for Faith Henschel, KCMU -Seattle, Michelle Haunold, KBVR -Corvallis, and John Koski, WRVU -Nashville. Mike Marrone, WHTG -Asbury Park, was carrying -on about Zodiac Mind Warp's "Prime Mover," which he believes is THE song of the summer.
SPOTLIGHT LP On A Night Like This -BUCKWHEAT ZYDECO (Island) Only a few times a year does an album blow open the loose, yet identifiable, boundaries of Alternative radio. Treading new terrain last year were artists as diverse as Van
Morrison, George Clinton, Richard Thompson, Run DMC and Dwight Yoakam. This year's candidates include Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Steve Earle and now Stanley Dural (AKA Buckwheat Zydeco). "On A Night Like This" is more than just a record, it's a Mardi Gras party that makes you feel like you've been airlifted to Louisiana. Picking up the zydeco WXXP- Pittsburgh, Kandy Wilkens, torch from mentors like Clifton Chenier, WXCI- Danbury, and Jim Keller, Buckwheat adds an updated twist by KJET -Seattle. Tom Verlaine is our highest covering the Blasters' "Marie Marie," Certified debut, sharing honors with Booker T's 'Time Is Tight," Bob Dylan's "On Dinosaur, who are stomping up the playlists A Night Like This" along with Chenier's of Jason Cohen, WNUR- Chicago, Denise "Hot Tamale Baby." The album's Rivers, KFJC -San Jose, and Ron Phillips, centerpiece is Buckwheat's original "Ma 'Tit WUSB -Stony Brook. Rita Mitsouko, Andy Fille", a rockin' Zydeco gumbo that is simply Summers, Plasticland and The one of 1987's best songs. Just add hot sauce, Windbreakers round out our debuts. take a deep bite and savor the rich Creole UB40's live album is Most Added and cooking. should debut next week, along with Soul Soldier b/w Soap and Curiosity Killed The Cat and our Record Water -THROWING MUSES (Sire -12 ") To Watch, Buckwheat Zydeco. James How does a band from Boston get national Lien, WTUL -New Orleans, thinks recognition? Like many American groups Buckwheat is going to be real big, and so do before them, Throwing Muses had to we (see Spotlight LP's). He's already turning achieve recognition in England before a in airplay from KKCY, KVRE, WOXY, major label would pick them up here. After KOTR, KUSF, KACV, KCMU, WTSR, etc. a brief tenure on 4 A.D. Records, the Two records that didn't quite make the Throwing Muses make their Sire debut with page but worth keeping an eye on are a two -cut 12 ". I prefer the B -side "Soup and Hurrah and the Screaming Trees. Hurrah Water" which reminds me of The Violent is attracting quality action at WLIR, KJET, Femmes winning vocal style backed by WHFS, KEYX, WRAS, KCMU, WXCI, Captain Beefheart's marching rhythm WRVU, and WXXP, where Deb Brady section. the GAVIN REPORT/August 7, 1987

When asked his nationality, Walewander responded, 'Chicago.' Last week the zany Tiger hit his first home run in 1,663 professional at -bats. On hand to appreciate the feat at Tiger Stadium was the punk -rock group Dead Milkmen. Detroit manager Sparky Anderson stopped to have his picture taken with the band. Walewander got a band T -shirt and albums entitled Big Lizard In My Backyard, Eager Paisly and Bucky Fellini. Walewander said he especially likes one cut called "Taking Retards To The Zoo."

Dropped: #28- Ronnie Milsap, #35 -Vince Gill, #36- Waylon Jennings, Patty Loveless.
INSIDE COUNTRY Kenny Rogers and Ronnie Milsap move into the number one spot with "Make No Mistake, She's Mine." This duo holds their own with 149 stations playing them in heavy rotation and a solid 97% Hit Factor. Yet the competition remains stiff for next week's top spot as Exile, Dan Seals and The Oak Ridge Boys gain momentum. Movers and shakers control the chart as The Foresters, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Foster & Lloyd, Barbara Mandrell, Desert Rose and John Conlee escalate five points each. But the biggest jump goes to Eddy Raven who truly shines through with a whopping ten -point move to number 30. Debuting at number 40, Tim
Malchak captures a strong following with two stations already playing him in heavy rotation and a 34% Hit Factor. Vicki Johnson at WAHC /FM- Oshkosh, WI, is receiving numerous phone requests for "Restless Angel." New adds this week include: WWSJ, KBMO, 55
WFMX, WFRB, WTRS, KSRS, KTOQ.
Newcomer David Lynn Jones is already causing a ruckus amongst listeners. "Tremendous phones," says Frank Smith at WFSR -Harlan, KY. 'They just love it!" Stations hot on the trail with new adds for "Bonnie Jean (Little Sister)" are: WLAT, KTGR, KMNS, WCAV, KFGB, KGRT, WDMP, WWRK &
KROP. Look for David's debut album, "Hard Times On Easy Street," due for release August 17th. Also check out Dave Sholin's picks on page 73 for a smashing review of this multi -formatted up- and -coming
talent. Speaking of which, some of Country's biggest stars make their way into this week's Up & Coming scene after only one week of play. Alabama, The Judds and George Strait all register 60+ adds. Our Record To Watch, Jeff Dugan is "already getting calls," exclaims Wendy at KRST /FM- Albuquerque, NM. Anthony Keith at KROF-
Abbeville, LA, has "Once A Fool, Always A Fool" in heavy rotation. New adds for Jeff include: WAXX, KWMT, KFGO, KBMO, WRBI, WRAJ, KEEN & WLAT.
Have a super week!

REVIEWS
GEORGE HIGHFILL - Waitin' Up (Warner Bros.) A new Country traditionalist, George sings familiar themes of loving and losing. Producer Pete Anderson and three- fourths of Dwight Yoakam's band strengthen the debut album of "The Saddest Cowboy." NICKELS AND DIMES, a duet with Katy Moffatt, relates the good times during bad times. We're still humming MY SWEET LOVE AIN'T AROUND, and don't look overlook THE BRAND NEW MISTER ME, HAPPY YOU and KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR. August 7, 1987/the GAVIN REPORT
KEITH WHITLEY - Would These Arms
Be In Your Way
(RCA)
Keith's soft vocal style, accompanied by Emmylou Harris and Vern Gosdin, turn a good ballad into a Country classic. 56

URBANIZING
by Jerry Boulding
WHEN YOU WORK FOR A JERK Said the GM to the p.m. deejay, The new ratings will be out late today.
If your numbers are down, Better plan to leave town. Never did dig your act anyway.
We're all taught from an early age that the best and brightest get promoted. How, then, do you account for inept or sadistic bosses? Well, as happens in all business, we often don't pay much attention to the selection of managers. Many owners assume anyone can do it--especially the sales manager, who is often promoted to the chief's chair as a reward for his selling achievements. Sometimes, particularly in small, privately held companies, the founder treats the company as his private fiefdom and his employees as serfs. He's the boss and whatever he says goes. That philosophy may keep the strut in his stride, but usually has a negative impact on his company. The word "boss" reverberates with strength. Mob Boss. Prison Boss. Big Boss Man. She's The Boss. They don't call Bruce Springsteen "The Employer." The boss is the autocrat with the power of the pink slip, the right to grant bonuses, give raises, take away designated parking places, deny your pension, question your judgment, your expertise and your expenses. What happens when that person is a tyrant, an egomaniac or an ineffectual toady? Some bosses don't want you to do a good job. They're terrified of people who work hard. If you get the job done and show ambition for moving up, you're a threat, not an asset. Even if your boss is an owner, doing a good job might still scare him. He might think the competition will try to hire you away and hurt his business. One owner of a chain that includes some well -run and highly successful Urban stations says, "Even though I'd like to believe a 'people- centered' approach is the best way to maximize performance, there is overwhelming evidence that the 'profit-centered,' kick- 'em -in- the -butt approach gets a lot of mileage out of people." On the other hand, he notes, "If managers were August 7, 1987/the GAVIN REPORT
more people-centered, you wouldn't have 20 million alcoholics and chaotic families. A lot of those problems are clearly the result of job stress caused by tyrannical bosses." While most owners as CEOs recognize the need for tough managers, they are also concerned about the long-range results of using people as expendable parts of the organization. Most general managers- particularly in major markets- -say their job is not to be liked, but to fulfill their function, which is production. In these terms a hard driving boss can be more effective. The danger is that today's GMs who do not come from programming have to understand the delicate product of radio. They can't have a factory mentality, though many of them do. Radio is made up of creative people on the talent or product side, and creative people do not function well in a hostile environment. A manager who inspires the staff will get that second effort that produces winners. You've heard the story of the production director who took four hours to select just the right cut from the library, and then added some slick touches, all to produce a 20-second promo that ran just a couple of days? Many managers would say he wasted the company's time and should have put his efforts into something else. Obviously, tasks need to be prioritized, but someone who would take that kind of care--often on his own time -still has a place in our industry. Management's new extreme emphasis on efficiency has led to a change of attitude in the radio workplace. No matter how it is phrased in company reports, "downsizing" or "getting more out of less" ultimately comes down to people being canned- -and that includes management as well as staff. People working for a fair company used to try and make out like they were normal- -you know, try to hang in there, raise a family and retire. And some seemed virtually assured of lifetime employment. We all know SOMEONE like that. But for the most part, those bonds of trust and security are gone, replaced by purely economic considerations. A few years ago, people
few years ago, people wanted to become managers so they could be leaders. Today they want to become managers so they can make money. A
wanted to become managers so they could be leaders. Today they want to become managers so they can make money. In an environment where managers are as expendable as other employees, it follows that future managers will become even more self-absorbed than bosses of the past --less interested in the company's goals, and more interested in their own private agenda for advancement. Love them or hate them, bosses are a human constant. But at those times when you feel like the lowest monkey in the dominance hierarchy, remember that every boss has a boss of his own to report to, answer to and grovel before. And if your job is tougher because of your boss, not having one is even tougher. So before you have an argument over format with your boss, better take a good look at both sides -his side and the
outside.

INSIDE URBAN R Watching the chart gains on MICHAEL JACKSON's duet with Siedah Garrett should be amusing in any format this week. Some stations added it in Heavy Rotation last week and have left it there for the duration of the song. Debuting at number ten on our chart is quite a feat in itself, but debuting there with an 82% Hit Factor is simply amazing! SALT -N -PEPA continues to make gains on the request lines: Rick Stevens, WCKX -Columbus, calls it one of the biggest things there. Both sides of the 12" mix are getting attention now - some clubs and stations have given "Push It" a shot with great success. Speaking of flips, have you listened to the other side of the commercial copy of WHITNEY HOUSTON's first single? "The Moment Of Truth" is not on the LP, but it is being played in some markets, including ours, by more than one station. The response is tremendous. A great discovery! I'm told by Mickey Arnold, WRDW- Augusta, that the new 63
MARVIN SEASE is already getting requests. It's an edited version that is suitable for radio airplay. The new PRINCE is getting to be big on the phones and in the clubs, according to Clint Works, WDKX -Rochester, and he says the calls are across-the- board. The new MADAME X is being reported by Frenche Be, WQIM- Montgomery, as one of his most requested cuts, 18-49. FAT BOYS continue to "Wipeout" the request lines for K98-Monroe, Mad Hatter at WGOK -Mobile, Ron Davis, WQIS- LaureUHattiesburg, and Don Edwards, WQIC /FM -Meridian. Last week's Record To Watch, IAN FOSTER, is already in heavy rotation at WNHC-New Haven, WTLC- Indianapolis, KKDA -Dallas, KNON- Dallas, and this week achieves a 51% Hit Factor. This week's Record To Watch, JESSE'S GANG, is already doing well for Timothy Glen, WCRX- Chicago, where listeners are jammin' the phone
lines. Other early believers are WHUR- Washington, WKIE- Richmond, WOWI- Norfolk, WJMI- Jackson, WPDQ -Jacksonville, WWIL- Wilmington, WYNN -Florence, KATZ- St.Louis, WBMX -Chicago, WGCI -Chicago, WCKX-Columbus, WNOV- Milwaukee, KGBC -Galveston, KJAM- Mission, KMJQ- Houston, KNON- Dallas, and KDAY -Los Angeles.

DONNA SUMMER - Dinner With Gershwin (Geffen) Just when you think Donna fell off the face of the earth...she's back with a new single --and its in tune with today's kind of radio.
LA LA - My Love Is On The Money
(Arista) Could be that Chaka and La La had the same voice coach. Not only is this love on the money, so is this song.
THE JAMAICA BOYS - (It's That) Lovin' Feeling (Warner Bros.) This unique up -tempo tune is quite nice. Enhanced by the guys in the background having a good time, it also strikes a heavy note in the same vein as Gap's "Unfaithful."

DAVE SHOLIN'S PERSONAL PICKS
SINGLES
DONNA SUMMER - Dinner With Gershwin (Geffen) If Chuck Berry can tell Beethoven to roll over, Donna Summer can certainly invite Gershwin to dinner. Her first effort in more than two years is an absolute knockout. I'd sure love to know how Brenda Russell came up with the concept...it's got to be a great story. Chef Richard Perry blends all the exceptional ingredients to serve up the top song on this week's menu. WENDY AND LISA - Waterfall (Columbia) Hot debut from a pair that learned how to make hits by working with his Royal Purpleness. Words and music paint a mental picture that's strong enough to cool off your listeners on a hot and humid summer day. Chorus never lets go.

DAVID LYNN JONES - Bonnie lean (Little Sister) (Mercury /PolyGram) Look out...here's a star on the horizon. David's depth as a writer is evidenced by the material on his new LP. Though some may categorize this song Country, I prefer to call it good of rock 'n' roll. Sax solo just destroys me.

NANCY MARTINEZ - Crazy Love (Atlantic) Even though it went top ten in a number of major markets, I'm one of those who still can't believe "For Tonight" wasn't a bigger hit nationally. She's built an even bigger following since then, through TV and club exposure. Her time has come. TIFFANY - I Think We're Alone Now (MCA) The '60's revival continues..believe it or not, this song was considered "controversial" when Tommy James & The Shondells released it in 1967. This updated version is pure pop and made to be danceable. Z95- Chicago began testing the record two weeks ago and added it this week. P.D. Ric Lippincott reports it's become the second most requested song at the station.

ALBUMS
Dionne Warwick - Reservations For Two (Arista) There's something magic about the way Dionne carries a tune --an amazing grace, a piercing clarity, an almost maternal nurturing of fragile lyric and melody. Whether she's singing with or to someone, there's a lascred eye contact made which exposes a song's heart and soul for all it's worth. LOVE POWER, the brilliant Bacharach /Sager song sung in perfect harmony with Jeffrey Osborne, is the album's anchor and it will in turn attract listeners to two similarly sensitive, structurally sound ballads, IN A WORLD SUCH AS THIS and a duet with Howard Hewett, ANOTHER CHANCE TO LOVE. the GAVIN REPORT Bel Gavin
