JOHNNY MOORE'S THREE BLAZERS (Exclusive 251)

"Changeable Woman Blues"
"Why Is Love Like That"

Pair of sides that ops with heavy race patronage may go for are these offered
by Johnny Moore and the Three Blazers. Showing Charley Brown making with
the wordage the top deck “Changeable Woman Blues” looks like the one to ride
with. Although the strains of the ditty echo the stock race beat, Charlie’s vocal
rendition outshines to beat. Wonderful guitar work by maestro Johnny Moore is
there for the asking, with bassist Eddie Williams riding thru for home. On the flip
with “Why Is Love Like That” Charley asks the perennial question aimed at cupid
and the way the pitch comes out makes the platter shape up as one which ops
may latch on to. Grab a listen—huh?

FOUR BARS & A MELODY (Savoy 657)

"Near You"
"It Shouldn't Happen To A Dream"

Plug tune of the day being cut by every waxery in the nation it seems, as offered
here by the Four Bars & A Melody seems like a nice bit that may take hold if given
adequate plugging. The combo wail the ever increasing popular strains to “Near You”
here and do so in effective manner throughout. Beat is mellow as they run thru some
wonderful harmony phrases. Backing having kicked around a bit may earn repeat play
with the chirping heard here. Labeled “It Shouldn’t Happen To A Dream", the combo make
pleasant music behind a favorable backdrop of incidental music. Both sides are there for the
asking and since you know your route better than we do—go to it.

THE BASIN ST. BOYS (Exclusive 21x)

"Near To You"
"You're Mine Forever"

Vocal combo with a heavy following in many sections of the country step out
here to do a pair well loaded with possibilities. Wailing the pleasing wordage
to “Near To You” and “You’re Mine Forever”, The Basin Street Boys knock out
some favorable harmony work which music ops may go for. Top deck has well
moving rhythm behind it and is offered in pleasing tones of tranquility hard to
beat. A ballad as the music stands, the lyrics beat a path of merriment around
the title throughout. On the flip with “You’re Mine Forever”, the crew pick up
the same pronounced beat and come thru to shine. Harmony work excels here
and is of the variety best loved in those tavern spots. Both sides seem attractive
filler material—give it a whirl.

SLEEPER OF THE WEEK

HADDA BROOKS (Modern 155)

"Don't You Think I Oughta Know"
"That's Where I Came In"

This one is a shot in the dark inasmuch as the ditty itself is currently one of the
hottest rages in the east. Nevertheless we feel that this rendition can take the
song, titled “Don’t You I Think I Oughta Know” and really peg it for the big time.
Chirp Hadda Brooks picks up the beat here and renders the pleasing lyrics in such
fashion as to attract a barrel-full of coinage the nation wide. Spooning low and pretty
behind one of the most beautiful guitar breaks ever heard, the gal with that quiver
in her tonsils warms her way into your heart with this cookie. The metro spins slow
and mellow throughout with Hadda grabbing the spotlight and running the gauntlet
to please a zillion ops. The backing shows that the canary really can spoon as she
knocks out the familiar “That’s Where I Came In.” Primarily aimed at race spots,
this gal’s chirping should fare equally well in all locations. You’ll go for this soothing
piece of wax in a big way—latch on!

"You Should Have Thought Of That Before"
"Fat Boy Rag”

Pair of sides are offered here by a gent with powerful following in those cactus
spots the nation round. Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys show bright with this
pairing titled “You Should Have Thought Of That Before” and “Fat Boy Rag”. Top
deck shows the maestro’s pipes in somber mood, wailing the lyrics that weave
around the title. Bob tells his story to his gal, and acts the defiant lover in word-
age set to music. On the flip with an all instrumental piece, the crew join in to
make merry on a piece that may attract the dancers.
