HOLLYWOODby Tony Richland

THE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY

FINAL WORDS YOU WILL READ ABOUT THE RECENT

HOLIDAY

SEASON. We got to do a lot of thinking and ruminating over the recent holiday season ... mainly because there wasn't much else to do. People like Lou Galliani do home repairs. We have to call in a man to change a light bulb, so THAT was out. People like Phil Quartararo watch a lot of football. We don't know anything about football, other than some guy with a name like Danny 'The Refrigerator' Davis is a big media darling. People like Peter Standish listen to their Dokken albums. We're not on Elektra's mailing list. All of the above leaves us not much more than Phil Donahue re -runs and Super Channel WTBS Mary Tyler Moore shows, all of which we've seen 468 times. New Year's Eve was spent on a new Richland family game in which the first person to come up with a name of an actual human being never nominated for a Poe Award gets to not help dismantle the Christmas tree. Here's some of the other stuff we ruminated about.

Radio stations freeze their playlists during the holiday season. Therefore, record company promotion departments are closed. What we want to know is: Which came first ... the chicken or the egg? Did the labels decide to close shop because of the non -adds or did the stations stop adding because of the non -promotion? And more important ... does the listening public know the difference? Does Joe Sixpack, tuned in to KKHR or KIIS -FM over the holidays, turn to Ed Sixpack on a

Tuesday Night and say, "Hey, I've been listening to these guys for three hours and haven't heard any new adds ... what's going on ?" Does Ed then say, "Listen, Anderson, Palmese, Minor and the rest are in Maui for a few weeks! "? We don't know. We were just wondering.

Speaking of LA.'s KKHR ... Lou Simon is the new Music Director. We think he's a nice guy, as is Dave Hall who preceeded him. We are wondering, however, when the endless Farewell to Dave Hall parties will cease. True, we love the guy ... but we're starting to burn out on tribute to his Godliness, all of which are accompanied by onion dip on Triscuit.

Dave Kamper of KKXX in Bakersfield was a bit perturbed with us this week, feeling that we were a bit too vehement in our alleged complaints about an alleged lack of adds on his station. Dave may have an alleged point ... perhaps we did project a tiny bit of irritability, but that's only because we sincerely felt that our heavy metal offerings by Tender Drillbit, Jello- Mold Mother and Brainscan were in keeping with Dave's clearly defined tastes. Sorry we were crotchety, Kamper. Our new Joey and The Doorknobs on Handshake is in the mail.

When we first heard about the Dionne and Friends record, we were quite excited, as Dionne has always been a

personal Tone -Man favorite. Shortly after its release, we began monitoring MN in search of the video. We found it quickly

and discovered that it's in a rotation which airs it approximately every four minutes. What AMAZES us is that Dionne was able to score Elton, Stevie and Gladys to replace the original Belmonts!

As noted above, we know as much about football as we do about Mommar Khadahfi's favorite Sushi joint, but our friend Johnny Magnus (of KMPC) has a

theory about the game which we feel obligated to pass on. Magnus contends that the 28 NFL teams do NOT fly their 80 person traveling parties around the country each week, as we would assume. He notes that a giant (and packer and raider) hoax has been perpetrated upon us for decades, and that what REALLY happens is the following:

Enough personnel to make up two teams resides in 14 cities. Each week the players change uniform and pretend to be members of the scheduled teams of the week. How would we know the difference, says Magnus? Everyone's face is hidden by a helmet. It's clear to him that each Sunday the players wake up and say ... "Who are we this week? Bears? 49'ers? Get out the uniforms." In Johnny's theory, only highly visible media stars such as quarterbacks and Walter Payton actually fly. Millions are saved and none of us are the wiser. Would love your thoughts on this. Write me care of The Gavin Report Ron Fell will forward your letters to my room at the home.

And for the last time ... ('til Rosh. Hashonah) ... HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Z O W

Actress /recording star Grace Jones started a musical career after becoming a

top fashion model. Her first three albums (launched during the Disco era) featured portraits by Richard Bernstein, best known for his monthly Interview Magazine covers. With former beau Jean Paul Goude (a top photographic collage artist and author of Jungle Fever, which chronicles his art and life with Grace) as her collaborator, Grace Jones made radical strides as a multi- media figure in pop culture. Her musical career took off in the eighties after she teamed up with hot reggae producers Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare for three more LPs. "Pull Up To The Bumper" became a smash and Grace went from Disco queen to total artist. Her debut LP

on Manhattan, Slave To The Rhythm, was created along with Frankie Goes To Hollywood producer Trevor Horn. Atter high fashion, hit records, and even a roll in the hay with James Bond, Grace talks to the Gavin Report.

KZ: Your latest release, "Slave To The Rhythm," seems to be a dual label deal. GJ: Trevor Horn has his own label which is ZTT ... It's a song Trevor did a long time ago before I had signed with Manhattan. It's a project I was working on in between contracts, if you know what I

mean. KZ: The whole album? GJ: The single first of all. All were meant to be the single, but it just grew into a

conceptual album, finally. At first, we were never quite happy with the results we were getting. Trevor's quite a perfectionist We kept trying different ways and different interpretations to get the right single. It

was the kind of song that you can't bundle up into one three or four minute record and say, This is it.' It grew into a

conceptual album. By the time we were finished with it, I was already signed with Manhattan. I didn't care about the politics, really. I liked the songs a lot. It was written with me in mind. I convinced Manhattan to let me finish this project. It was so strong an album that everyone decided to get it out and have a good time with it.

KZ: I'm interested in the ZTT process of making their records (Grace Jones, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Propaganda). How involved does an artist like yourself get with Trevor Horn and his process? GJ: I really don't think of labels when I

work. I don't think, 'This is a ZTT record, this is an Island record, or this is a Manhattan record.' If I like a record, I don't care who it is (laughs). KZ: Was it your idea to use (British actor) Ian McShane to narrate parts of the record? GJ: No. Basically, the whole album is like a story. It's a small screenplay, biographical, or whatever you want to call it. I'm there as the star of the record. The record is about me. It's the producer's image of me. Jean Paul Goude, who also worked on the music with Trevor, saw the visuals before the music. You know what I

mean? It's like you have a film and you want a score for the film. We worked the score and the visual score at the same time. The record speaks for itself in that way. When you hear the record with all the inserts, the interviews, and the stories, you get a feeling that you can see what you're listening to. You can see it! It's not just listening to something. It goes further than that. KZ: You've maintained your relationship with Jean Paul Goude. I understand he did your latest video. Was it a mutual decision to use excerpts from "Jungle Fever" on the record? GJ: Jean Paul and I have always maintained a relationship. I just give him carte blanche because we think so much alike. We like the same things artistically. We have this understanding that he has the freedom, artistically, to explore and



create whatever he wants to. Usually I

know what's behind it Most other people, of course, don't know. They'll see a lot of other different things. They'll try to say, 'Oh, the relationship,' the personal stuff. That's nothing to do with it at all. We collaborate very well together. Until we don't, we will work together. KZ: Do you think that people make too much about your personal relationship and his past obsession with you? GJ: Sure. Sure. I don't think they see the humor in it all, and there's a lot of humor in it. They take it all so seriously. KZ: Some of your past work, "Warm Leatherette," "Walking In The Rain," "Private Life," all seemed so suited to your voice. What was the process you used towards selecting material? GJ: My voice on those songs is the same voice that I had with "That's The Trouble" off the Portfolio record. My voice is very similar to the voice four albums later. That had a lot to do with producers and how much input I was allowed to have at the time. Sometimes you work with producers who are quite forceful and powerful. They try to push you into a corner where they feel you belong. You're singing in a voice they want to hear you in. This is a voice they think is going to sell records. Finally, I realized that that was ridiculous and it was some kind of mental abuse. KZ: Are you referring to (disco producer) Tom Moulton? GJ: Partially, yes. The only cuts where I

was singing with my own voice were the songs I wrote which were "That's The Trouble" and "Sorry." KZ: I've always thought that the Nightclubbing album was an artistic breakthrough for you. Not just because it had "Pull Up To The Bumper," but because you used Sly (Dunbar) and Robbie (Shakespeare) for a pop reggae sound. GJ: It started with Warm Leatherette. Nightclubbing was the most complete. It was the first time I had a lot more artistic freedom. It was also the albums after Tom Moulton. I love a lot of stuff that Tom did. I

was not happy with a lot of the songs that I had written myself because they all started sounding alike. I knew each song had its own breath. I hated when they treated them all with the same formula. KZ: You were one of the first, outside of reggae, to work with Sly and Robbie. GJ: Yep. KZ: Was that a return to your Jamaican roots? GJ: It was catching up with it, actually; not returning. To return to the roots, then you'd have to get into calypso and all that To me, Sly and Robbie are super modern. They're really in front and they never burn out I was very hard on them as well. I

was quite a different person for them to work with. They're accustomed to being the kings! Jamaican men! (laughs) The male population is a different culture than here. I know how to deal with them, you know? I have a lot of brothers, my dad, and grandpa. We just tell them, 'You be quiet over there.' There's a way of talking

with them to get your way, not letting them intimidate you. For people that don't know, I'm sure they can come up very intimidating, if they say, 'we do one cut and we're not gonna do it again because we know this is the best cut' And I'll say, 'You're gonna do it again tomorrow.' KZ: That's why those records are so successful. GJ: I think so. I pushed them very far. KZ: Do you have a twin brother? GJ: Christian. KZ: So do I. GJ: Really? We've got something in common. He's just done an album as well. Three singles and he's made a deal for an album. I produced a couple of the tracks as well. Sly and Robbie are playing on one track called "American Lover." It's really good. It needs some remixing. KZ: How do you manage to jockey your busy schedule? You have so many projects, movies, modelling - GJ: I don't model anymore. KZ: With movies and music, are you spontaneous or do you carefully map out your career moves? GJ: I'm very spontaneous. I don't care how much we map it out. It never sticks to what is mapped out. There came a time where I'd pick between one or the other. That was when I was thinking about re- signing with a record company. I realize how they both actually help each other. Especially now. It's a form of the future. That whole movies -and -music thing is coming back. KZ: Like back in the thirties and forties. You were a pioneer at being a contemporary multi -media star. GJ: People always ask, 'Well, what are you? Are you an actress in singing? Because you're not this regular singer that's touring.' They find it very difficult to deal with. They want to see a rock and roll band up there. Okay, I'm rock 'n' roll or okay. I'm R & B. Who's to say what is what? You just do what it is you do. I

don't think about the labels. I create where it feels right with me. It's not going to be the same as what everyone else does. A lot of people, when they come into the business, automatically want to do what everyone else is doing because they think that's the key to success. KZ: What is the key to success? GJ: Well, it ain't that (laughs). I know what it's not. I can't tell you what it is exactly. KZ: Are you starting to write songs for your next album? GJ: Oh yeah. We've got about thirteen songs done already. KZ: What can we expect? Any clues as to what direction? GJ: Well ... I think the direction will be continuing in the direction of "Slave," taking it a bit further. More stories. The story from MY point of view. Some of it will be fantasy, some of it will be true. Musically, everything will be in the groove. KZ: Is Nile Rodgers going to do your next album? GJ: If nothing happens to him between now and April or to me. If World War Three doesn't break out.

January 17, 1986 /the GAVIN REPORT /6 www.americanradiohistory.com


KZ: How did you end up on the Arcadia single? GJ: They asked me if I would. We were hanging out and I liked the song. I was in Europe at the same time, writing with Bruce Wooley. (He co -wrote "Slave To The Rhythm. ") I'm co- writing most of the songs with him. Alex Sadkin, who co- produced my last three albums, was co- producing Arcadia as well. So as a favor to them, I did it and I donated my fee to AIDS Research Foundation.

KZ: You were also in Fashion -Aid. How was that? GJ: That was great! A lot of fun. I

modeled for Miyake who was the first person to hire me in 1976 and I sang at the end of the fashion show in Japan for two weeks. We had sold out audiences all over the place -10,000 seater places. KZ: Are you going to tour America? GJ: Yes. Not until we get the record up there (laughs). I'll tour Europe first because the record is number one all over the place. In Europe, they don't have this pop, R & B, Dance, what not. They like a record and that's it. It plays. KZ: Then what are your feelings about radio in America? GJ: I think they can travel a bit and learn something from Europe. I think they should just play a great record. I don't think the record should be based on color. Music has no color. Do you know what I mean? I don't know. I think they do it that way because maybe they feel it

generates more money or something. Different markets. I don't know what the reasons are. Advertising? Certain people in certain areas like this and that It keeps people limited, is what it does. It doesn't allow them to expand. KZ: Tight formats exist because programmers wish to reach a specific, key person as a listener. GJ: But those key people like to hear other things. I think they get awfully bored. I do. Everybody welcomes a change. I

think even if they have a certain format, every now and then they should inject a little change in there to show what else is going on in the world. It's like putting walls around the radio. You might as well be in Russia. In London, the (club) deejays outside of radio play the best music. Stuff I've never heard before! What's this record? My God! They just find great music over there. I think here where you have the formats, even with the club deejays, it limits them and makes them lazy. They don't have to go out there and create a sound. They just get all the records sent in to them. This is the Top Forty, or whatever, and that's what they play. How on earth can they get any kind of fun out of that? KZ: How do you feel about the role of dance clubs and how your career has grown from that? GJ: I think clubs used to be a lot better. I'm sure there's still some around and I

haven't had time to get to them. Some that take chances and play different music. Good deejays are hard to find. It's really an art to create a mood and feeling with

music. A lot of people get their jobs through politics and connections. Then they don't know what they're doing. KZ: What are your memories of the Disco era when you were gigging at Studio 54? GJ: A lot of my older friends were (club) deejays. There's a lot of really good people squeezed out They're not working anymore. I used to go dancing for working out It was a total physical, soulful, and spiritual experience. I'd come out feeling like I had been totally renewed, feeling great. I remember I went to this club. I was playing two nights. The first night someone said, 'Well tonight, you've got the PCP crowd,' or something. Everyone was walking around bumping into walls (laughs). I thought that was pretty weird. Then they said, 'Don't worry. The next night you'll have your tripping crowd.' So you get a different audience depending on what drug they're into. KZ: I remember reading about your "One Man Show" tour. Somebody handcuffed himself to you. GJ: That was a teenage kid. The time that happened, my audience started crossing

that role. I would have been better in that part, actually. KZ: Would you liked to have recorded the theme song for A View To A Kill? GJ: I love what Duran Duran did. Oh no. On the filming set, (the band) thought 'Gee, Grace is a singer and maybe she would want to do this.' I said no way. It

would be too much. For me, I would prefer to do a theme song where I'm not in the film. KZ: Do you have any plans to do more TV commercials after that Honda spot with Adam Ant? GJ: No. Not for America, anyway. I did a

Citroen commercial in France and for four countries in Europe. There they let you do what you want to do. They don't freak out on you. KZ: Like when they clipped the part out of the Honda spot where you bit Adam Ant's ear? GJ: Right. Stuff like that is ridiculous. It's stupid. KZ: What kind of music does your boyfriend, Dolph (Lundgren) like? GJ: He likes funk. Groove stuff. Anything

"I don't think a record should be

based on color .

Music has no color."

over. In 1982, I was attracting about everybody. The audience was so mixed, it

was incredible. The audience ALONE was a trip. That was the show. I had students, professors, professional people. All different races. The age went from teenagers to old people. KZ: What kind of film roles are you interested in? Are you interested in doing some serious drama like maybe Whoopi Goldberg did in The Color Purple? GJ: Whoopi was made for that role. I like glamorous roles. I think there's a space to be filled there. (The part of) Shug Avery was a glamorous role. I could have played

with a great groove, like me. KZ: What kind of kid were you? A tomboy? GJ: Always. Still am. KZ: You once climbed into a cage with a

live tiger. Will you ever do that again? GJ: (Laughs) I'm telling you, I'll probably start walking around the streets with one, just to protect myself against the terrorists. But you know, they're trained. I had to spend a few days with that tiger before I

got into the cage with him -so he'd get familiar with my smell. It's like a bad dog. They smell you and say, 'This one is okay and this one is not okay.'

A/C HIT FACTOR

A/C ANALYSIS An extremely close battle for the

six records at the top (see HIT FACTOR below). WHITNEY HOUSTON more than doubles her HEAVY ROTATION and only improves in ranking by a point. And STREISAND ain't over, despite a ranking slip. Look for her to return to 4th place next week.

BILLY OCEAN and DREAM ACADEMY should close out a lot of HEAVY ROTATION next issue and make a serious run for number one by early February. Hard to argue with 170 + stations on either.

The ISLEY,JASPER,ISLEY record "CARAVAN OF LOVE" has really come home since the holidays. A 66% HIT FACTOR including HIGH ROTATION from stations like: WMGW, WCHV, KSFL,KOIL,WJON,WMT / FM, WILS, WLHN,WMGF,KQSW,KOST,KRNO /FM, KWAV and KDUK.

RECORD TO WATCH, DAN SEALS' "BOP" gets 34 adds and a

34% HIT FACTOR. Expect requests.

MIKE & THE MECHANICS' "SILENT RUNNING ", recommended on this page on. October 25th, is no longer silent. 65 stations and a

46% HIT FACTOR with A/C and already an unquestioned hit in Top 40 radio.

RECOMMENDED FOR A/C RADIO

ANNE MURRAY - "Now And Forever (You And Me)" (Capitol) The best A/C song she's had in this decade. Written by Randy Goodrum, David Foster and Jim Valiance (Bryan Adam's writing partner), the song should cover A/C radio like a

blanket. SMOKEY ROBINSON - "Hold On To Your Love" (Tamla) Nearly fifty years of Motown wrote this song. Smokey and Stevie Wonder create a song which brings out the best in Smokey. HEART - "These Dreams" (Capitol) Except for Ann's duet with Mike Reno from Loverboy back in '84,

Heart hasn't been associated with pure ballads before. The track is edited down from the LP version. JAMES TAYLOR - "Only One" (Columbia) The style is a wonderfu throwback to his early days at Warner Bros. A gentle singalong from a hopeless romantic. Joni Mitchell and Don Henley add harmony to the track. FORCE MD's - "Tender Love" (Warner Bros.) Known primarily as a Rap band with an Urban slant before this, the group shows a different side here. The record is a delicate, lyrically driven ballad. Check it out. Ron

PROMOTIONS by Lisa Smith & Betty Hollars

BILLBOARD WEDDING When J.D. Scott of WBNQ - Bloomington was broadcasting live atop WBNQ's billboard, one of his radio guests, a news- paper columnist named Bill Flick, jokingly suggested that a wedding would be the perfect ending for the "Studio In The Sky" promotion. An engaged couple just happened to be tuned in to the show, and decided to see how serious WBNQ was, and volunteered to be married in front of the billboard. The station made all the arrangements, with Scott agreeing to give the bride away and Flick agreeing to be best man.

LONGEST NEW YEAR'S PROMOTION

KMET -Los Angeles made this past New Year's Eve a holiday to remember for two lucky listeners with the longest New Year's promotion ever. They kicked it off -

with two tickets to the Clippers /Celtics game on Dec. 30th. The next day, there was a private tour of Universal Studios, then off to a private New Year's Eve party with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Then, on New Year's Day, they woke up and went to the Rose Bowl. Finally, because KMET knew how exhausted the winners were by that time, the next day they jetted them off for a week in Hawaii. Whew!

From left: Doug Kline; his new wife Marcy; maid -of- honor; best man Bill Flick;

and WBNQ's J.D.Scott, who gave the bride away.

WMET FEELS THE BEARS FORCE

Bears fever is not all that lucky Chicago - land fans are catching lately. WMET- Chicago is passing along $100 for every time the Bears score. During-the games, the fifth caller into the WMETstudio when the team scores will automatically receive $100. The cash will go out for touchdowns, extra points, field goals, and safeties.

Shown prior to take -off are (from left) Gil Moore and Mike Levine of Triumph.

CLASSIC CLIPS KHYL- Auburn, CA recently started their "Classic Clips" contest. Designated callers have the chance to identify three song snippets: a classic hit from the 60's, one from the 70's, and a classic hit from the 80's. Those who correctly identify all three songs qualify to win a cruise for two to the Mexican Riviera.

LEVINE'S TRIUMPHANT EFFORT

Triumph's Mike Levine recently suffered serious jet lag after travelling across Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific in twenty -two hours, stopping at eight radio stations in seven cities to deliver the trio's first live album. The group was chal- lenged to see if they could actually deliver their album in twenty -four hours to radio stations in eight Canadian cities with the help of police escorts to the stations and airports, but using only commercial airlines. Co- sponsors Pepsi and Adidas, along with fans who pledged money by calling the radio stations, raised $50,000 for the United Way in Canada.

PAT METHENY GROUP After a long association with ECM, Pat's new label will be Geffen Racords. His complete score for the fine movie Twice In A Lifetime is his second. The first was The Falcon And The Snowman. He also performed the theme for Under Fire.

PAUL McCARTNEY In addition to Pat IMetheny's score, the movieTwice In A Lifetime ends with an original Paul McCartney song.

JAMES TAYLOR When asked by USA Today regarding a drug problem, James replied, "The only problem I have

today with drugs is constantly having to deal with people who ask me if I

have a problem with drugs."

ALAN PARSONS MIKE & MECHANICS HOODOO GURUS BLOW MONKEYS PROJECT

These records define the Album radio and Alternative rddio formats this week. (

Much of the material on THE GIFT was featured during his solo set which, fortunately, was performed on our turf (thank you, Lord) . You know, there's not much deviation between MIDGE's solo selection and ULTRAVOX except for a taste more guitar and a touch more vibrant material. There's even a version of J.TULL's "Living In The Past ". MIDGE URE, co- author and co- executor of Band -Aid, the song and the mission, has a Euro appeal that's yet to be fully appreciated due West of the Atlantic. MIDGE's use of guitar is unique. His com- positional flair is sensitive. "If I

Was and "Where The Wind Blows" set the emotional sails from ALTER- NATIVE waters to ALBUM RADIO and hopefully beyond. URE and his work are living, breathing,thinking artworks. We dig him.

"All The King's Men" -The Firm (Atlantic)

This new twelve inch by THE FIRM is merely the LP's starting point. It's the rhythm guitar work that makes this song soar. The whole LP is due around the 20th. With sonic reinforcement by JULIAN MENDELSOHN (who got great sounds out of NIK KERSHAW and ABC), the new LP is a full step forward and is instrumentally extraordinary. After all JIMMY PAGE is the most imaginative, exotic, and eccentric rock guitarist, period. More raves next week from this dement PAGE fan.

LONG RYDERS

"I'd Lie To You " -Frankie Miller (Mercury)

"Life's What You Make It" -Talk Talk (EMI)

TALK TALK's been a duo before duos became a big hit factor (TEARS FOR FEARS,WHAM!). "Life's What You Make It" stands on its own as a hit song. The vocals have an early psychedelic BEE GEES feel. The instrumentation is an edgey,hooky, groove line. Great song!!

Premonition -Peter Frampton (Atlantic)

A real nuts and bolts rock n roll album. I was particularily impressed with some of the guitar solos. FRAMPTON is a proven singer and guitarist. Obviously PREMONITION is a calculated comeback. You can feel the anxiety and energy seething between the grooves. I'm a fan of the simplicity this LP musters. Stop /You Know So Well/ Lying /Moving A Mountain.

Every few years, FRANKIE MILLER resurfaces either with a record of his own or with a song for somebody else ( "It's A Heartache" was the last) . "I'd Lie To You" typifies his moanin OTIS REDDING rock 'n' roll voice. FRANKIE's a second generation English blues rocker in the early tradition of SPOOKY TOOTH or FREE. He's made a lot of great out -of -print gems. This one puts FRANKIE back in print.

"No Second Prize" -Jimmy Barnes (Geffen)

"In A Lifetime "- Clannad (RCA)

One of the treasures of my collection: is the 1983 CLANNAD LP, MAGICAL RINGS. A tape of the hit track off The EVERLY /EDMUNDS relationship that LP, "Harry's Game ", has been continues. The real story behind used to close many a U2 concert BORN YESTERDAY is the hip choice since the WAR tour. It was only of material. DYLAN's "Abandoned a matter of time B4 BONO connected Love" (unreleased until BIOGRAPH), with this beautiful,eclectic, folk RANK & FILE's "Amanda Ruth ", ensemble. The LP is simply entitled MARK KNOPFLER's "Why Worry ", MACALL, the track is "In A Lifetime':and the SUTHERLAND BROTHER's The whole LP will wisp you away "Arms Of Mary ". into some Celtic afterlife.

Working class rock n roll without the shag haircuts and posturing. JIMMY BARNES is one of Australia's biggest rock names, both as a solo and with his former group COLD CHISEL. A little like SAMMY HAGAR without the flagwaving. A little like QUIET RIOT with a few additional Intelligence Quotient points. A little something to shake the pictures loose off your walls.

Born Yesterday -Everly Brothers (Mercury)

MY 2C Consult thy agenda on page 13 for the upcoming GAVIN SEMINAR. It's rounding out quite well. Added is the "Peak Performance In the Work- place" motivational speaker, DR. CHARLES GARFIELD, who by co- incidence, happens to teach in nearby UC BERKELEY. The man has a way of motivating you, that's for sure. After listening to a small piece of one of his speeches, I felt like I could rebuild the whole damn Alaska pipeline by myself. In fact, the whole first afternoon of the SEMINAR will be geared towards you becoming personally aware of all the potential that is pent up inside you, waiting to be exploited. Also, our HISTORY OF CUTTING EDGE MUSIC guests are ready to be announced. We're just one lame away from spilling the beans. If you haven't strongly considered attending, think about the airfares going these days. TIME MAG made the issue a cover story. You won't find lower fares for the rest of the year. Date is FEB. 21 & 22. That's a Friday and Saturday. If you need a line on cheaper hotel rooms, we've got a line on a slew of them. Nice places, too. Some- thing that's yet to be officially

There's little action within the Top Ten, except for sole entree, THE BLOW MONKEYS. This EP has fallen upon very favorable ears and would be interesting to see how a full album would fare.

THE BANGLES debut CERTIFIED and second MOST ADDED ( #1 MOST ADDED last week). Look for this album to kick -in next week and seriously threaten the top records. Their previous album was #1 on the Gavin Alternative chart for six weeks last year.

LLOYD COLE is MOST ADDED should become CERTIFIED as those adds convert over.

SPOTLIGHT LP Sail Through /Send Them Away /All I Asked You To Do /O Pamela -THE WAKE (Factory) This is the fourth release on Factory for this Manchester,England foursome. The aura surrounding the melodies on "Here Comes Everybody" are very spacious and tender. The Wake utilize their instruments in such an adventurous, yet methodical expression. Dreamlike synthesizers and vocals are gently lowered onto tightly knit rhythms which maintain a steady course. The songs maintain their wonderful moods rather than being dominated by the rudder of undercurrent rhythms. The Wake are successful at parlaying accessible musical forms with experimental content. There's a stimulating awareness which contrasts the comfortable setting. Phone Cheryl at (212) 741 -0329 for a copy.

NEW

BEGINNINGS

by Lisa Smith

The birth of Southern Pacific was indeed a new beginning for five musicians who came together from some of music's "supergroups." Two of its members - John McFee and Keith Knudsen -are ex- Doobie Brothers; Stu Cook played bass for Creedence Clearwater Revival; Tim Goodman released a solo album on Columbia; and Kurt Howell played keyboard in Crystal Gayle's band. Goodman was basically the prime mover behind Southern Pacific. After ending up on quite a few country recording sessions with McFee and Knudsen, he got the idea that the three of them should form their own band. Their debut album featured Glenn D. Hardin and Jerry Scheff, both former members of Elvis Presley's band. After the album's completion, Scheff and Hardin returned to studio work. In stepped Cook and Howell to fill their shoes. When the act showcased for the music industry in Nashville, 400 people turned up to see them instead of the expected 200. Besides their debut LP, 1985 was also highlighted by appearances at FarmAid and at the annual Washington Monument Fourth of July concert. We talked to John Mc Fee and Stu Cook about the future of Southern Pacific.

LS: While a lot of people seem to have trouble crossing over from pop to country, you guys don't seem to be experiencing that. Why do you think you've been able to pull it off? JM: From my point of view, it's because we all started out playing country. Especially myself. That's all I played for a number of years before I'd ever even heard rock 'n' roll. My father was a guitar and banjo player, and he taught me my first chords. So it really is in my blood. Having it be part of your roots makes a big difference. I think some of the rockers that are trying to cross to country have spent less time actually playing country. Our group came out of doing session

"We would like to broaden the demographics of country music and get some younger people to realize that it's not all about divorce and bars."

work for major country artists like the Kendalls, Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, people like that So maybe the difference is that country is something that comes naturally to us. SC: It's tough out here, but at least we're out here. It's easy to go into the studio and come up with any kind of band you want to, but to really have a band you have to be able to play together live. We've been doing that a lot and have made a lot of friends in radio and with our general audience. I think that's really helping us. LS: When you were forming Southern Pacific, how were you describing what your musical approach was going to be? JM: When the Doobie Brothers first broke up, Keith (Knudsen) and I started doing session work, and in the course of doing sessions we started getting more and more calls for country sessions. We were working with Timmy (Goodman) on a lot

of them, and the band was basically Timmy's idea. We were enjoying playing country so much that Timmy said, "Why don't we do something on our own ?" Which we did, and out of that came the record deal. Our approach has basically been to try and do what feels best. We're really trying to do something original and fresh, but yet deeply rooted in the tradition of country music. SC: We're trying to take good songs and see how they'll work with a country arrangement We can all play pretty much any type of music, but we want to play country music. We want to play as a group and play with some energy. Creedence used to be a pretty good country band whenever we chose to. Back in those days, no one ever said, "hey, you can't play that -you're rock 'n' roll!" In fact, Creedence records would chart on country radio. So I wasn't afraid to play country music.

33 the GAVIN REPORT,Januarr 17, 1986 www.americanradiohistory.com


S: You've obviously had a major ersonnel change since the album came ut. What happened to Glenn D. Hardin nd Jerry Scheff? M: Jerry and Glenn D. became involved with the group through doing the same ession work that the rest of us were loing. When we started getting close to nding the album project, it came down to ie fact that both of those guys would refer not to have to tour like we're doing, nd basically start from the ground up. hey preferred to keep doing their session

work and their work with John Denver.

.S: That's when Stu and Kurt Howell Dined the group.

M: Yeah, we needed to replace Jerry, nd I wracked my brains trying to think of

. bass player that we could get. Right iefore we started auditioning people, I

'ought, "I wonder what Stu Cook is

loing," because I'd known Stu from the ild days. So I gave him a call just to see vhat he was doing and if he was iterested. It turned out that he was letting back into playing and was iterested. So the timing was just right. ìC: After Creedence broke up in '72, )oug Clifford (the drummer for ;reedence) and I built a studio in a emote truck. I learned studio engineering, flayed on a lot of sessions, did a lot of emote engineering, and started to get into ecord production. Then Doug and I sold 'e studio and I retired until the last year it so when I started getting back into flaying. When McFee called it seemed ke a natural segue to get back into a real ,and. It's a great experience for me to be 'laying with these guys. I'm enjoying the ieck out of it. Kurt's a wonderful keyboard 'layer and a great singer. With all the lates we've played, we've really jelled as i band.

.5: Since you guys are covering Tom 'etty and Foreigner songs, have you met vith any resistance at all from country ,cations? IM: Actually, we did with the Tom Petty ;ong. When we did FarmAid, Tom was here. It was great because he came over o us and he really liked what we did with lis song. But, getting back to the question, ve kind of knew going into it that there would be a certain amount of resistance rom some country radio people, and inderstandably so, because they were )robably wondering, "is this just a whim or these guys or are they really serious ?" think it's really helped us a lot to get out

)n the road. We're also trying to get radio )eople to come and hear us and see what we're doing. If you see us live, you an see that we're really enjoying what

we're doing and we're sincere about it.

fherés probably still some resistance, but we're just going to stick with it and prove )urselves. SC: Yeah, this crossover thing has two adges to it. There was a considerable )mount of resistance in the beginning. But is people listen to the record and come and see the band, the resistance seems to )e melting away. I'd say that eight out of

ten of the country M.D.'s and P.D.'s that I've talked to during our travels have said that this band is exactly what country music needs. LS: Speaking of FarmAid, how was it? SC: It was a great experience -we were really honored to be there. It was great to be included because it's something the band really believes in. Tim's family has a farm, and Keith comes from a farming family, so it made the event more meaningful to them. But just being able to meet some of our idols -Tom Petty, John Cougar, Willie Nelson -just on and on. Everywhere we go we remind people that the 1- 800 -FARMAID number is still a happening number if people have any spare change. It wasn't just a one shot thing. LS: Was Emmylou Harris on "Thing About You" from the beginning, or was it an afterthought? JM: That came about because we knew Emmy because we'd played on some of her records. She heard some of our basic tracks at a mutual friends' house, and she really liked "Thing About You." She called us and told us that she really liked the

"Malcolm McLaren (the Sex

Pistols' manager) started

sending us threatening letters

about using the name Tex

Pistols."

song and that she'd really like to sing on it

if we didn't mind. It was a real compliment, and we were lucky to be able to schedule it to fit her schedule and ours. LS: Why weren't there any pictures of the band on the album cover? JM: Have you ever seen us? That explains it (laughs). Actually, we did a photo session, and no one was really happy with the way the photos turned out. Meanwhile, the art department at Warner Brothers had come up with this great package. Also, with Jerry and Glenn D.

leaving, that was another reason not to use pictures to save confusion. We've just found out that the album cover won some kind of award (by the Los Angeles Art Director's Club). LS: When you play live, what's the make- up of your audience? JM: Usually the audience of the group we're opening up for. We've been out touring with Hank Williams Jr., with Neil Young, with the Beach Boys, just with various people. We've also been headlining a few things ourselves. As the record is picking up, we're also starting to get our own audience. There seems to be a lot of young people and older people - kind of a wide age group. Some Doobies fans, some Creedence fans, some people who were probably never fans of either group. SC: By and large, it's people that have heard our record. At this point, they might

be a little older than your average rock 'n' roll audience. But the audience is starting to get younger as the records become more popular, and now people in the audience are actually starting to know the words to our songs. LS: You had a hard time getting a name for your band. What were some of your earlier choices and how did you arrive at Southern Pacific? JM: We were the Tex Pistols, El Dorado, Silverado, Rodeo Drive, and The Adobe Brothers. But there were already groups out there called El Dorado and Silverado, the Rodeo Drive Businessman's Association kept us from doing any kind of merchandising with the name Rodeo Drive, too many people didn't like the name Adobe Brothers, and Malcolm McLaren (the Sex Pistols' manager) started sending us threatening letters about using the name Tex Pistols. So we had a "Name The Band" contest with Warner Brothers in Nashville, and Jeff Hannah from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was actually the one who came up with the name Southern Pacific. LS: How do you think your next album will be different, especially since the personnel change? JM: I think getting out and touring with our new members, Stu and Kurt, has made us really jell as a group. I think the next album will have a very strong group identity. I think there will be more confidence and direction -it's probably going to be a lot stronger album. SC: I think it will be a lot more energetic, and maybe we'll take more chances now that radio knows who we are and the music has become the topic rather than who we used to be. LS: Do you see your success broadening country music's boundaries? JM: We hope that we can help do that in whatever way we can. It seems to me that for some time country music has been narrowing its scope. When people like Lefty Frizzell and Hank Williams and George Jones were starting out with their sound, there weren't as many restriction on what you could do. Then it got so formulized that it was hurting the music in

a lot of ways -not that there wasn't good stuff coming out -but it was becoming stifled a little. We're hoping that we can open it up a little bit again and bring some energy back in.

SC: Country music's been getting kind of a bad rap lately, and it just ain't fair. We would like to broaden the demographics of country music and get some younger people in there to realize that it's not all about divorce and bars. We'd like to think that we're helping do that in our own unique way. LS: Since you guys have been used to basically playing for rock audiences, is there a difference now playing to country audiences? JM: So far, if there's a difference, it's that they're a little bit older. But they're more alike than they are different If they appreciate the music, it's always a great feeling.

RY The chart is starting to settle down from the holiday confusion, and by next week we should have a pretty stable chart again. CRYSTAL & GARY remain at the top this week, as the year starts off with a very strong #1 record. A ten point jump on our chart is always noteworthy, and BARBARA MANDRELL 's is no exception. She has another winning week, with Too Ten numbers at WFMC,WPOC, WAAX, KBMW, KIOV, KQKD, KZPR, WTOD, WWQM, KGRT, WTAW, and KRKT. T.GRAHAM BROWN made it through the holidays and wound up stronger than ever with an 83% hit factor. JOHN DENVER is doing very well in quite a few markets. He went from 26 to 18 for MARK THOMPSON at WKKW -Clarksburg, and BRETT DAVIS at KXEL -Waterloo calls it "the ladies song of the new year" and moves it 31 -24. RICKY

SKAGGS' "Cajun Moon" is becoming a fast favorite in "the land of the midnight sun" according to BILL CARDOZA at KYAK in Anchorage. JERRY JACKSON from WLBB- Carrollton thinks that ANNE MURRAY could have a #1 song on her hands. She's got a good start as she jumps into Chartbound with 50 adds and 94 reports. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN is sounding good to a lot of Country ears, as he barely misses getting into Action Sides this week with 19 reports.

URBAN CONTEMPORARY SUMMARY FORCE MD'S takes the biggest jump in the top twenty, and justifiably so it's now starting to look like a multi- format crossover. Both our Top 40 and A/C editors picked it this week. Highest debut goes to MORRIS DAY's "Color Of Success ", with labelmates FAMILY and ZAPP coming in close behind. TA MARA & THE SEEN's "a" side, "Affection" gets strong enough to debut, as does JENNIFER HOLLIDAY's "No Frills Love ". Another little lady who had an astounding week was JANET- JACKSON: she's already charted at WHUR -Washington, WAMO- Pittsburgh, WANM -Tallahassee, WDPN -Columbia, where Chaz Saunders reports that "...first week reaction to Janet is superb! ", KKDA- Dallas, KGFJ- Los Angeles, and added at WRKS /FM, HOT105, WOCQ, WBLX, WDMT, WGIV, WYLD /FM, WZAK,

WLUM, KJLH, XHRM, WJLB, KMJM, etc. Another big "add" item was the new duet by CHERRELLE & ALEXANDER O'NEAL, currently being played at WRKS /FM, WAMO, WILD, WQQK /FM, WYLD /FM, WWDM /FM, WZAK, KJLH, KGFJ, KKDA, etc. EUGENE WILDE has released a new single called "Diana" and can now be considered an established artist, since "Don't Say No Tonight" is crossing over. Nice bunch of adds for his new one. Two others that show up in the double digits in the add column are ROY AYERS' "Hot" (which it is!), and the timely KING DREAM CHORUS' "King Holiday" in honor of Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday this week. Gavin Media Seminar Update:

Response is really starting to snowball regarding our rather distinguished list of participants.

You understand that our seminar focuses on speakers and work- shops (no panels) and the line- up we have now is growing (see pages 13 and 14). Our own format session /workshop will be attended by Jerry Boulding, Barry Mayo, Marvin Robinson, Bernie Moody, Jeff Harrison, Terri Avery, Lynn Tolliver, Kevin Fleming, Sonny Joe White, Duff Lindsey, Lee Michaels, James Alexander, Brute Bailey, and Jim Maddox, to name a few. Many of you need to let me know if you're planning to attend we hope to see you there! Betty

P.D. NOTEBOOK by Eric Norberg

COMPROMISING ONE'S PRINCIPLES A

TEENY

WEENY BIT

Ihave seen many talented Program Directors dig in their heels when their vision of the station is at all compromised ... either throwing " -or else I quit" ultimatums, or getting fired for what amounts to insubordination. This is too bad.

I have seen many talented Program Directors knuckle under to keep their job at all costs, aquiescing to sales ideas and format compromises that they know are wrong. This is also too bad.

The fact of the matter is, both these types will have trouble advancing in the business ... the former because they are avoided by General Managers as incorrigibles and prima donnas, and the latter because their stations never do very well, and they are seen as responsible for this.

Life is tough. Things never seem to turn out quite as we wanted them to; of course sometimes they turn out better, though different Radio is transitory-an imprint in the listener's mind. No great station stays great forever, and no great format concept long outlasts the tenure of the person or entity responsible for creating it. Radio is ice sculpture -dazzling, memorable, transitory. Consequently, as in all human endeavors, some compromise is necessary, to get what needs to be done, done.

A radio format is an entity. Making it that way is an art form. But it is a container for a lot of disparate things, and not everything that has to be fit into the former has inherent value. Some of it is there

becaue it's been sold. I think a PD who lays his or her job on the line to oppose a sales idea that adds nothing to the station, but won't significantly hurt it either, is being foolish. Money is the fuel that keeps the art form going. Many uninteresting program features prove saleable; and many can be accomodated by sharp packaging within the format Try to work it out before digging in your heels. This means that when you do feel strongly about one of these deals being unacceptable, you've established your cooperativeness -your understanding of the financial needs of the station -and you stand a better chance of being taken seriously, without the need for an ultimatum.

Of course, if you find yourself being overruled time and again on matters you consider essential, then it probably is time to get the resume and tape together and start the job search. (If the ratings die as a result of a series of bad programming moves you opposed fruitlessly, your peers will regard the bad programming moves as yours, and you'll be stigmatized.)

One thing that became clear to me over seven years working within a major

broadcast organization which wanted to make its MOR stations A /C, but which lacked the courage to see it through, is that "halfway there" is nowhere at all. Since a format is an entity constructed for the mind of the listener, composed of harmonizing elements, keeping some old elements while adding some new ones usually results in a station which neither the old listeners nor the potential new ones see as changed at all -or if so, as incomprehensibly changed. Even if some elements are inconsequential, they must be staged in the context of the chosen format if they are to work.

Every PD has been through some crises when his or her format vision is at odds with what the higher -ups want to do with the station. This week's column, striving to steer a center course between the rocks and the shoals, may have struck a few nerves. If so, let's have some anecdotes or advice! Every PD could use what only you can contribute. Write me c/o the Gavin Report, or at Suite 209, 2130 Huntington drive, South Pasadena, CA 91030 ... Consolidated Communications Consultants. I'll use as much of what comes in as I can, here in the column.

.January l7, /986 /ihe GAVIN REPORT



the GAVIN REPORT GAVE SHOLIN'S Personal Picks - SINGLES

ß0N FELL'S Personal Picks - ALBUMS

SLY FOX - Let's Go All The Way (Capitol) Released in early December, this unusual offering got some initial Urban play and is now headed pop. Hypnotic effect is heightened by an infectious chorus with a hook line that works every time. Nothing like this on the radio right now.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - Calling America (CBS) All us ELO fanatics have been waiting for this release, long overdue. You can always count on Jeff Lynne's pop concepts to be unique and highly commercial. This newest effort fits the bill in every way.

THE CARS - I'm Not The One (Elektra) Beatle -esque ballad is yet another avenue for The Cars. Weaves a pleasant spell.

TALK TALK - Life's What You Make It (EMI America) I've been told this is an environmental statement, a subject near and dear to the authors. In any case, it takes several spins and then it sinks in.

ROBERT TEPPER - No Easy Way Out (Scotti Bros.) On the heels of Survivor and James Brown, Robert's story is much like Rocky's. A waiter in New York, he co -wrote the Benny Mardones hit "Into The Night" back in 1980. Got a hunch this one is gonna sneak up on a lot of folks.

SAM HARRIS - I'd Do It All Again (Motown) Few vocalists match his range and he puts that talent to good use on a song custom made to match his remarkable ability.

DAVE'S CROSSOVER PICK: FORCE MD'S - Tender Love ( Warner Brothers)

No surprise that it climbed 28 -18 on this week's Urban chart. I expect this to follow much the same pattern as Klymaxx's "I Miss You ", and hit top ten Urban, A/C and Top 40...an across the board ballad smash!

the GAVIN REPORT

Everly Brothers "Born Yesterday" (Mercury /PolyGram) Sounding at times as though they were indeed

born yesterday, they rip through Rank & File's AMANDA RUTH, which sounds like the E Bros' LUCILLE (1960). While we're on the subject of covers, check out ARMS OF MARY (orginally a Sutherland Bros &

Quiver)and a re -work of Dire Straits' WHY WORRY, which stays close to the original arrangement with rich harmony added. Then there's Dylan's ABANDONED LOVE which now has a Nashville Skyline, pop /country feel to it. The only Everly original is the moody title track which was written by Don. Nice to know guys a few years cider than me can still make relevant music and nice to hear the subtle effects of producer Dave Edmunds capture the brothers' essence.
