THE GREATEST GROUP . Of THEM All

THE GROUP THAT NEVER MISSES JUMP 40 PLACES

In addition to their Polish trip from March The Hollies' "I Can't

Let Go" looks like the hottest tip for the top in this week's Pop 50, after a fantastic jump of 40 places to number t en .

Said a delighted Graham Nash : "We are all a bit knocked out -

The group's American tour opens in New York on March 27.

8 to 18, the Hollies have now been offered a week in Italy at Rome's Pied Piper Club in July. This follows the success of their LP, "Hollies", in Italy.

Lou authored 'Lightnin" hit with psychic IF you detect a mysti-

cal quality about Lou Christle's "Light­nln' Strikes" it could be because it was part­t,enned by a psychic.

Lou, on the transatlantic phone from N!!w York this week, told the MM: "My partner Is Twyla Herbert, who Is a mystic. She's about 20 years older than me and predicts what's going to happen to me. She has predicted my 1-&ts and often has visions of what is goJng to happen to me."

1'"wyla1 apparently, met Lou In Pittsourgh one day when they were both In church.

~So~~crh~he~c~~e ~1:a r! tg:~

she would write succenful song11 with a green-eyed man who wun't yet born. That was me, a.nd everything she say, come, true."

Lou collaborates with Twyla on his hi~ and so far their

~~~~~lcr!~o~:in:tt~~nh":efl~~; before ''Llghtnln' Strikes" -"The Gypsy Cried" and ,.Two Faces Have l" - before Lou (real name Geoe Sacco) went Into the army.

That's one way to get Into

the hi t parade - by maiil c. And It seem, lfl work

Lou wa• born near Pitts­burgh in Ptnn1ylva nla and studied clas,Jcal music and s inging a t 11chool. "But 1 gave

~~J pth.Zh:~•r~a~f I; ~ih~::~;_

:~~f1tg:a~ie~alt~ b~J•~~y7~r:; else.

He moved to New York from Piusburgh three years ago and spent some time 1ing­lng background, on olher people', records before getting a contract - and hits - for himself.

"I had had two hllt when I was called up for tho army," said Lou, "After I came out, I signed with MGM and hope to start acting soon."

Lou la touring aJI over the States at present and appear• Ing on all the major TV showa. "I go out as a solo artist ~nd haven't got a group of my own. I usually rely on being backed by a local group, which Is what I will do when I come over to Britain, ;)ro­bably in April ,"

Lou ha., worked with many of the top stars in the States - people like WIison Pickett and James Brown . ''Brown Is fantastic. I have worked with him several time.• and he has to be seen to be believed."

He also knows Gene Pitney

THE U.S. CHARTS ~

• even in • Pop musi,; in Ameria is

today w1llowin1 in ih biuest emotional b1th 1ince Pearl Harbour, and the foe.al figure is .a 2S­ye.ar-old Army sergeant from New Mexico.

• Handsome Staff Serge.ant B.arry Sadler h.as .almost up­ended the Amerian ch.arts. Hi, disc " The Ballad Of The Crffn Berets" has lo11ed up 3 million ulcs and climbed F-111-fashion into the top ten as he extols the heroi1m of "the men from the sky" fight­ing the Viet Cong.

• Seven years ago Barry Sadler, a callow kid of 18, joined the U.S. Air Force on a four yur stint. De­mobbed, he re-signed with the Army in the Special Forces Division. He served in Vietnam until he fell into a mantrap in the hills and wu injured bad­ly in the leg by a poisoned speu. Barry is now back in the States.

• Home based at Fort Br.agg, he writes stansa a~er stan:u of "narrative bal­lads", the like of which Britain hasn't heud since Queen Vict!>ria packed her troops off to fight the Boen. • Barry chants, in a raw voice, of the meritorious Green Berets . . • their valour • • . their little women waiting back home • .. of the pride of wear­ing that silver wing on the chest.

• It is all gen-u-ine 22-c.arat jingled - jin&oism Why this patriotic pop disc boom? Explains a 1 London psychiatrist. " It is a salve to the conscience of the civili.1n: basiully he is Involved for the price of • record ."

• Said an RCA Victor spokesman in London: "This disc shows the sentimentality. It is un~

peculiar vein of American suitable for release in Britain."

• But Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler need shed no tean over the.so lost royalties­he hu already, it is esti~ mated by Newsweek, rung up the till to the tune of .£70,000 with his first hitf

• The patriotic, the political and tho pop ... three in ­aredients for hit parade status in Ame,iu which will not see the light in a record shop here.

• His record company, RCA Vidor, must be hoping for an urlier discharge. They have mounted one of their biggest promotion cam­paigns behind Sadler's disc. Demob would help them to ash in on the dosen tracks he hu written for his new long player . . . laments like "The Soldier Hu Come Home", "Salute To The Nunes", " Troopers Lament", ''Letter From Vietnam" and "Badge Of Courage".

DA io! ~~~ (~~;m;fJ It swings. Nice drummer.

Its got a lot of drive. J don't know who it is. I mean it's got to be Bntish by the sound The voice 1s rather hke John Lennon every now ond agam - but I know it's not the Beatles! Is it the Clayton Squares or someone? There's no individunhty about the sound to associate it with any­body in particular although the song and arrangement o.re g~od. Is it the Mojos? Oh, 1 give up. Dave Clark! You're Joking - it's the best thing Lhey•ve ever done. I dig that - It'll be ,1 big hit

rrR~ac~~i: "Substitute"

Oh, great. ft's Just too

ru~t(F~~l~y o~01t~r l!~~hr~~1r. It's good It's great. I think they'll get a number one with this. That'll please Pete - and Keith's mum! I can honestly say it's not as good as "My Gener3tiOn", but it's definitely a number one. Dig that "Res­cue Me" sound, Pete's writing more and more commercial stuff - this actually coniures up a visual picture of them. Hayley Mills will like it.

T"~o~;~~~e~%~e)~d I love this number - if it

is ''Love Hurts." Oh. It's not, Everyone's got onto this on• bent-four-in-the-the-bar sound. People took it from the Four Tops using on-beat drums and off-beat bass guitar. I don't know who this is. A nice re,.. cord but l'm not over-exuber-

ant_ a.bout it. Probably a hit if it's well -plugged. The Mc­Coys! It's the worst record they've made, I'm afraid.

T~,8~f~!;?~;~:):und Sounds like a load of monks

The soloists are at worst painless, and Vic Dickenson :- who is showcased on " I'll Try" and genera ll y active in background and en s e m b I e duties-and trumpeter Autrey both have worthwhile and in­dividual things to say. Bailey, Richards and Mastrl have reatures too .

Most of the way, the music is likeable and uncomplicated - not the stuff to furrow the brow - and tf there are odd tediums, such o.s Richards' voc.o.l on "Easy Living", they are not more nu merous than those in the typical modern album.

Hubbard, Hutcherson and Hill are all srimulating soloists with several albums to their credit; Rive;s ls a powerful tenorist who was one of Tony Williams' main influences in Boston. Davis is one of the great bass players; Chambers is new to me. but his playing here is impeccable.

Less nihilistic than most or the New Wave, the emphasis is on "Cree" improvisation, but never does the music descend into the chaotic morass that can be most off-putting fo r non-converts.

WHEN WILL THE ROCK ADDICTS

SEE STRAIGHT? LEWIS: monotonous j.mglins piano

J' M sick of old rock addicts who blindly refuse to recognise the abundant talent displayed by to­

day's progressive groups . Okay, so Jerry Lee Lewis rode the crest of the rock and

roll wave with monotonous jangling piano, but today's dis­cerning public does not want this rubbish . The Who wiJI be in demand longer than Jerry Lee Lewis ever was.-C. A. WALLIS, Billericay, Essex,

NO LA-DE-DA WHY don't people stop knocking Barry Fantonl. Just

because he has long hair they all start. At least he hasn 't got a

stupid la-de-da accent. I think he's absolutely fab.­ANN BROWNLEA, West­cliffe-on-Sea, Essex.

AT LAST ORNETTE COLEMAN has exploded the myth that he is all talk and no music. His new album "At The Golden Circle" is truly a master• piece of modern jazz. Perhaps the talents of mu­sicians of this type will now be recognised. Artisrn such as Archie Shepp and Anthony Williams de­serve to go down in hi~tory. The New Wave is now firmly established despite knocks by any bebopp­ers. The Bird has certainly flown . - R. PYE, Harrow, Middlesex.
