THE CASH BOX PICK OF THE WEEK

LLOYD PRICE (ABC-Paramount 10062)

“COME INTO MY HEART” (2:04) [Prigan BMI—Logan, Price]
“WONT’CHA COME HOME” (2:05) [Venice-Lloyd-Logan BMI—Price, Logan]

Seems as tho Lloyd Price has fallen into the g-roove where he can
do no wrong. The artist, who recently added “I’m Gonna Get Married”
to his fantastic hit chain, should have another in “Come Into My Heart”.
It’s a captivating middle beat thumper that Lloyd, along with the Sid
Feller chorus and ork, waxes in solid, money-making style. There’s
more of the same coin-catching results from the hard-driving, “Stagger
Lee”-styled “Wont’cha Come Home” coupler. Sensational double-decker.

THE BROWNS (RCA Victor 7614)

“SCARLET RIBBONS” (2:35) [Mills ASCAP—Segal, Danzig]
“BLUE BELLS RING” (2:20) [Penix BMI—Loudermilk]

The country favorites, who broke thru the pop-country barrier to top the charts
with their beautifully ear-pleasing revival of “Three Bells,” can follow suit with
either end of their new release. One end’s a lilting up-dating of the enchanting,
oft-recorded folk lovely, “Scarlet Ribbons.” The other charmer, “Blue Bells Ring”
is a new lyric version of “Three Blind Mice,” done up in appropriate round form.
Excellent new pairing from Jim Edward, Maxine and Bonnie Brown.

RAY CHARLES (Atlantic 2043)

“I'M MOVIN’ ON” (2:27) [Hill & Range BMI—Snow]
“I BELIEVE TO MY SOUL” (2:58) [Progressive BMI—Charles]

DON GIBSON (RCA Victor 7629)

“I'M MOVIN’ ON” (2:10) [Hill & Range BMI—Snow]
"BIG HEARTED ME” (2:18) [Acuff-Rose BMI—Gibson]

I’m Movin’ On,” a one-time Hank Snow success, bids to make a strong rock comeback.
For pop-R&B acceptance, Ray Charles offers a contagiously rapid-clip performance,
while Gibson socks in sure-fire pop-c&w style. Charles’ coupler, “I Believe To My Soul,”
is a striking, deliberately wailing blueser to lookout for. A country-styled, wail by Gibson
on his good-sounding flipside, “Big Hearted Me.” (Charles’ entry follows his 2-part smash,
“What Did I Say.” Gibson is making country chart news with “Don’t Tell Me Your Troubles.”

PHIL PHILLIPS (Mercury 71531)

“VERDIE MAE” (2:20) [KamariBMI—Baptiste, Khoury]
“TAKE THIS HEART” (2:26) [Kaniar BMI—Khoury, Walker]

Philliips—whose “Sea Of Love” was a smash chart intro for the performer—has a sea of fine
teen sounds on both ends here. “Verdie Mae” is Ian intriguing, folk-styled romancer handled
with a smooth, individual approach. ‘Take This Heart” returns Phillips to a “Sea Of Love” feel.
Each essay has solid commercial goods.

KING CROONERS (Excello 2168)

“NOW THAT SHE’S GONE” (2:32) [Excellorec BMI—Standberry]
Lots of plaintive appeal here Lead is excellent on the tender wistful.
A pro stand that can make in both pop & R&B fields.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUVyn6-g4bg

“WON’T YOU LET ME KNOW” (2:23) [Excellorec BMI—Jones]
This rhythm session can mean two-market business, too. A pro affair.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tusm9EDC1Mg

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

LITTLE WILLIE JOHN (King 5274)

“LET THEM TALK” (2:35) [Jay & Cee-Big Star BMI—Thompson]
“RIGHT THERE” (1:55) [McCoy-Frieda-McCoy]

The songster, who just kicked up a two-market fuss with his “Leave My Kitten Alone,”
should head straight back to the pop-r&b hit territory with “Let Them Talk.” It’s a lovely,
string-filled rock-a-ballad romancer that Little Willie grooves with heartfelt sincerity. The
house-rockin’ “Right There” love affair can also break thru big on the dual-mart level.
Sock vocal and instrumentals support on both lids.

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

FIVE KEYS (King 5273)

“DANCING SENORITA” (2:48) [R-T BMI — Toombs, Harding]
Boys a bright on the Latin-rock novelty. Humor with an
R&B slant that could make noise pop as well as R&B.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlmWZW_zx2o

“DREAM ON” (2:30) [R-T BMI—Toombs, Hines]
Lead is strong on the fervent romancer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwRjVo3DPdk

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

CRICKETS (Brunswick 55153)

“WHEN YOU ASK ABOUT LOVE” (2:01) [Acuff-Rose BMI—Allison, Curtis]
“DEBORAH” (2:17) [Allison, Curtis]

Two tracks by the songsters that can return them to the chart
fold. “When You Ask About Love” is a contagious rhythmic about a
guy who’s no longer concerned with a certain gal, while the tender
“Deborah” session tells of a chap who’s got it bad for his flame. Stay
close to both ends here. Group has such previous successes as “That'll
Be The Day” and “Oh Boy.”

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

RHYTHM STEPPERS (Spinning 6010)

“HEY LITTLE LOLA” (2:00) [Asbury BMI — Barnett]
Good hop sound backs the lead’s pro rhythm vocal.
Waxing has a sound that kids can easily take to.

“MY FIRST BROKEN HEART” (1:55) [Pure BMI—Tuttle]
More in the sentimental vein here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XreRlkD7rIk

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

RITCHIE VALENS (Del-Fi 4128)

“STAY BESIDE ME” (2:15) [Kemo BMI—Olofson, Ellenhorn]
“BIG BABY BLUES” (1:45) [Kemo BMI—Valenzuela]

Del-Fi issues another slice from its Limited Valens Memorial Series and it could make
a big hit with the late chanter’s vast following. Tabbed “Stay Beside Me,” it’s a slow
ballad romancer projected in a haunting “Donna” style. Very pretty offering. “Big
Baby Blues”, the funky, steady rhythm affair on the flip is strictly instrumental.

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

RUDY WEST (King 5276)

“JUST TO BE WITH YOU” (2:20) [BMI—Kalfin]
The current Passions hit is ably rendered by songster West. Version has merit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOXPM1l-nbc

“YOU WERE MINE” (2:04) [BMI—Giacalone]
Another chart rider—done by the Fireflies—gets a polished cover.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moXrklX5NJA

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

JAGUARS (Original Sound 06)

“THINKING OF YOU” (2:31) [Harms ASCAP — Kalmar, Ruby]
Oldie gets an individualized R&B-flavored treatment. Good sounding falsetto
delivery backs the “far-out” vocal treatment of the melody. Might move.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-UXu7vUIsc

“LOOK INTO MY EYES” (2:18) [Drive-In BMI—Poluito]
Boys jump in contagious R&B novelty fashion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXlthICbVnw

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

NUTTY SQUIRRELS (Hanover 4540)

“UH! OH!” (Part 1) [Jason BMI—Borland, Elliot]
Chipmunk-like voices chant “smartly” along to a contagious, lightly
swinging beat. It’s a jazz-directed novelty that could catch-on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjrrrwk8m9w

“UH! OH!” (Part 2) [Jason +BMI—Borland, Elliot]
Much the same session story here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU19UE4IOWg

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

RAL DONNER (Scottie 1310)

"TELL ME WHY” (2:10) [Studio BMI—Nelson, Burch]
Infectious way on this query by Donner. Guy wonders why he’s in love with gal,
yet she is not with him. The fine Donner delivery is backed by excellent combo
chorus rhythm. Could succeed in a big way.
