ON THE RECORD
SINGLES
1) Keep Your Hands off My Baby/ Where Do I Go,
Little Eva (Dimension) — Well, Little Eva looks destined for one hit after another. "Keep Your Hands" is the stronger. "Where Do I Go" is subtler, but definitely in the running.
2) Still Water Runs Deep/Hotel Happiness, Brook Benton (Mercury) — Brook will certainly have another hit in "Still Waters." It's a haunting melody, very much for today's record charts. Flip is not bad, either.
3) The Loneliest/Beautiful Dreamer, Tony Orlando (Epic) — This young lad will be one of the big record artists, if he can keep them coming at this strong level. "Loneliest," a tune also written by Tony, will get to all the kids. It's a sad tale, and you know how sad tales make it! The flip is an adapted Stephen Foster tune.
4) Love Song from "Mutiny on the Bounty" /Theme from "Mutiny on the Bounty," Manuel and His Orch. (MGM) — The love song, which is also called "Follow Me," is the better side here. It is very reminiscent of "Return to Paradise." It's that "Archipelago" sound, unison voices, strings like wind and jungle drums. Flip is not strong.
5) Zero-Zero/Night Theme, Lawrence Welk (Dot) — This may be the bubbler's next hit. "Zero-Zero" is a European import. It has that sound. It sounds like somebody is even playing a comb with tissue. Well, it doesn't matter much how it happens, as long as it does. And it does.
6) Kentucky Means Paradise/Truck-Driving Man, The Green River Boys (Capitol) — Although this record is very heavily leaning into the country-and-Western dept., I still feel it could mean something. It's awfully entertaining.
7) Loved and Lost /Santa Claus Is Watching You, Ray Stevens (Mercury) — Although this was a single effort geared for Christmas, I think "Loved" could be a big record, given half a chance. On "Loved," which Ray also wrote, we hear "OF Ahab" singing "straight." Could be. . . .
8) Theme from "Long Day's Journey into Night"/ Song from "Two for the Seesaw," Andre Previn and His Orch. (Columbia) — Not that this will be a hit, but I hope I'm entitled to some wishful thinking now and then. For musical reasons, I put this on the list. Both sides are interesting and "Long Day's" is a very imposing piece of music. Andre Previn proves he's one of Hollywood's most consistent conjurers of dramatic music. I like this record.
9) Dear Hearts and Gentle People/Gotta Travel On, The Springfields (Philips) — The Springfields, of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" fame, look like they could sneak in with "Dear Hearts." Flip is a ? however.
10) Turn Around/My Glory land, The Wanderers Three (Dolton) — These lads are the possessors of the sleeper record. Watch out for "Turn Around," 'cause you might find yourself singing it. It has that sound. "Gloryland" is an adaptation of the folk tune "Wayfarin' Stranger." It's not for the market, but its neighbor might do it.
SPEAKING PERSONALLY
Continued from page 27
the war, and its successor, the Second World War. In the case of the Second. Russell felt that it had to be fought as Hitler "was a devil." He feels the First could have been avoided.
In his ramblings, Lord Russell gives us short, sometimes barbed comments on his contemporaries. Eisenhower: "A silly man." Tennyson: "A fraud."
Of course, Lord Russell's greatest concern now is what he feels could be a race toward death by the entire human race. He thinks that though we have weathered power struggles in the past, we will not lift ourselves out of the ashes of this one. As a course for his own country, England, to follow, he feels that, if it may be no longer militarily or politically strong, it can at least be morally strong and lead the "preservation" movement. First, by neutrality. ("If I could talk with Macmillan for a week, I could convince him of my arguments.")
Incidentally, Lord Russell does not see the "cold war" as being one of ideologies. In fact, he states, "if Russia was still Czarist," the situation would not be altered much and possibly be worse. Power is the reason.
He also feels, as this reviewer definitely does not, that Russian policy and attitudes have been created through "fear." (As a reviewer, I find a subtle double standard lurking in back of Lord Russell's policy ideas. It would appear, he does not always look at both sides of a coin with the same amount of intensive investigation.)
Lord Russell, as you can see, is a man who holds his opinions strongly, no matter how seemingly unpopular they are. He is like Socrates of Ancient Greece, a gadfly. A man who stings us into being more than what we are. He asks for more understanding from us. He is, by the very nature of his life, worthy _ of our respect. I disagree strongly with some of his observations, but his points are never without, some validity.
You may, and it's more than probable, disagree with some of his contentions. But for myself, I would not be without this reco ied dialogue. Remedies aren't easily found and the truth more often than not hurts. But it is foolishness to turn a deaf ear to someone of Russell's greatness.
