RACE DISK O' THE WEEK

EARL COLEMAN (Atlantic 872)

"I Hadn't Anyone Till You" (2:41)
"Don't Bring Your Troubles To Me" (2:45)

Here’s a platter that seems sure of garnering a top spot on juke boxes
in no time at all. It’s the heavy,
yet rich voice of Earl Coleman, purring delightfully on a side that
should go like wildfire. Ditty is the
standard “I Hadn’t Anyone Till You,” with Earl warbling the familiar
lyrics in sparkling tones that score.
His deep, resounding vocal spot on the side is top notch throughout.
Platter weaves in slow tempo with
the orchestral back- ground blending effectively to round out a great
piece of wax. This biscuit is one of
those juke box naturals, and is sure to win immediate, wide favor with
ops and fans alike. The flip, “Don’t
Bring Your Troubles To Me” has Earl back again offering another
excellent vocal performance. Ditty is a
slow, blues affair, with the spotlight shining down on Earl in
wonderful, well deserving brilliance. We go for
the top deck in a big way—we’re sure you will too. Latch on!



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

CHICAGO DAVIS WITH THE HAL SINGER GROUP (Savoy 5560)

"I Feel So Good" (2:39)
"Travelin' Shoes" (2:51)

More great wax in the offing for music ops is this biscuit by Chicago
Davis and the Hal Singer combo,
Davis’ mellow warbling on the top deck, “I Feel So Good” should win
immediate favor with music fans.
Ditty has all the riff and holler one can possibly expect, with Davis
howling the hep lyrics in top
notch fashion. Fond hand clap behind the steady beat of the disk adds to
the winning ways of the disk
immensely. On the flip with “Travelin’ Shoes,” Chicago and the Hal
Singer group bounce back with some
blues that should hold its own. Top deck will wear white. Ops should
latch on!




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

MABEL SCOTT (Exclusive 83X)

"That Ain't The Way To Love" (2:38)
"Give Me A Man" (2:54)

Chirp Mabel Scott on deck with a pair that might catch music ops fancy.
Wax, titled “That Ain’t No Way To
Love” and “Give Me A Man” is fair, and may be used as excellent fillers
by ops. Top deck is an up-tempo
theme, with Mabel warbling in effective mood. Lyrics play around the
title throughout, and show the chirp
in pleasing manner. The flip slows down a bit and has Mabel offering a
bit of blues. Both sides should hold
their own. Platter rates music ops listening time.

BUDDY TATE ORCH. (Supreme 1514)

"Dear Mary" (2:50)
"Swinging Away With Willie And Ray" (2:41)

The Buddy Tate ork on deck with some great wax titled “Dear Mary” and
“Swinging Away With Willie And Ray.”
Top deck, with piper Dick Barrow on board is a girl song, ably sung by
Dick. The lad’s smooth pipes purr the lyrics in resounding tones of
beauty, and make for mellow listen- ing pleasure. The flip is just what
the title indicates—an ode to disk jockeys Willie Bryant and Ray
Carroll. It’s a sensational instrumental number, done up in excellent
fashion. Steady beat in the background, coupled with a terrific sax
spot, rides thru in first rate manner. Disk is one that will go—ops
should get it.




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

HERB LANCE (Sittin In' 514)

"Close Your Eyes" (2:50)
"Candle Glow" (2:56)

Pair of sides that are already bouncing around in top spots on juke
boxes throughout the nation are these
offered by balladeer Herb Lance. Top deck, tagged “Close Your Eyes” is a
ditty that is rapidly winning wide
favor with music ops. The slow, sensuous tones that Herb offers make for
grand listening pleasure from
start to finish. Ditty is a top drawer ballad, one that makes you wanna
lis- ten. Herb’s vocal range is terrific on the side, and should cause a
load of attention in the music biz. The flip shows as a repeat grade A
performance for Herb and should hold its own on the phonos. “Close Your
Eyes” is hot—grab it!

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

WINI BROWN (National 9068)

"Grievin' For You" (2:40)
"(Ya Got My) Brand Of Honey" (2:41)

Make no mistake about it—here’s a disk that will pile up a load of coin
play in no time at all. It’s thrush
Wini Brown, purring in sensational vocal manner on the click “Grievin’
For You.” The gal’s tonsils seem
hard to match on this side. Utilizing a bagful of tricks and quivers in
her vocal effort, Wini lends this
tune an air of warmness hard to beat. It’s a great piece of work—one
that will go like wildfire. The flip,
“Brand Of Honey” is a bit of dreamy blues with the chirp turning in
another excellent vocal performance.
Top deck for the moola!




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

COWBOY COPAS (King 775)

"Down in Nashville, Tenn." (2:40)
"I'm Waltzing With Tears In My Eyes" (2:44)

Pair of sides that are already winning favor in many spots are these
done up by the widely popular and
capable Cowboy Copas. Copas’ wail- ing of “Down In Nashville, Tenn,” and
“I’m Waltzing With Tears In
My Eyes” is first class throughout. Top deck weaves in steady tempo with
Cowboy turning in a wonderful
bit of vocalizing. The flip slows down and has Copas turning in a
hearts-andflowers tune that should win
some heavy favor. Both sides of the platter will catch on—music ops
should get with ’em.

For the sake of completeness here's the flipside. It does nothing for me
but others may think differently
