The
record business today is
becoming a family affair.
More and more
"chips off old blocks" are
showing up on juke boxes.
Gary and
Lindsay Crosby are both
active for Decca.
Ozzie Nelson's son Ricky is
high on the hit parade with
his version of "Be Bop
Baby."
In the Western
music field there is Jimmy
Rodgers, the son of Hank
Snow, and Ernest Tubb's son
Justin. Red Foley's
daughter Betty and his
son-in-law Pat Boone and
Boone's brother Nick Tod are
all record stars.
And then
there's the Everly Brothers.
A few "old
reliables" are around, too
-- the Clooney Sisters, the
Andrews Sisters and the
Mills Brothers.
Other new
entrants in the "family
sweepstakes' include Tony
Pastor's son Gary and Alan
Jones' son, Jack. Late
actor Osgood Perkins' son
Tony is a star in both
records and movies.
Young rock 'n'
roller Frankie Lymon has an
even younger brother Lewis
who has just signed to do
singles for End records.
Two reversals
of the trend are Betty
Johnson who has stepped out
of the Johnson family to
make it on her own and Jaye
P. Morgan who left the
Morgans to become a major
RCA Victor disc star. |

Gene
Vincent, the boy from
Nashville, will swing with
his Blue Caps at the Georgia
Auditorium at 8 p.m. next
Tuesday.
His show has
been drawing big audiences
wherever he has been.
Recently in Houston, he drew
an average of 3,000 a night
for six nights.
Gene, who was
featured in Jayne
Mansfield's movie "The Girl
Can't Help It," had been
singing and swinging with
the Blue Caps since
"Be-Bop-a-Lula" became his
first record to sell a
million.
Also on
Tuesday's show is Bonnie
Guitar, the Pacific
Northwest's gift to the
music world. Her
recording of "Dark Moon" set
her up as one of America's
top vocalists.

Music from the
films and from the Broadway
shows is back in prominence
with the release this week
of some new LPs and singles.
Capitol has
released the soundtrack
music from "Pal Joey" with
Kim Novak and Frank Sinatra.
RCA Victor has
released the soundtrack
music from Elvis Presley's
movie "Jailhouse Rock" on an
extended play.
Singles include
Eydie Gorme's "Until They
Sail" from the show of the
same name, and "Wait And
See" with Fats Domino, from
the forthcoming picture
"Jamboree."
DOT has
released the soundtrack
music from "April Love."

Gene, look,
and listen to your hit
parade today. It's a
mixture of many thigs.
You have ballads like
"Chances Are" and you have
real rock songs like
"Jailhouse Rock" and you
have rhythm and blues as is
shown in "Little Bitty
Pretty One."
But the most
outstanding contribution of
late is coming from the
country and western field.
Stars like
Marty Robbins, Ferlin Husky,
Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Dean,
Anita Carter and the Everly
Brothers are sprinkled all
through your hit parade. |
