LONDON (CP)---A Growing number of
light-footed
London
teen-agers are
ordering
lunches of
Bill Haley
with a side
order of
Elvis.
Thousands of
West End
office workers
spend their
noon hour
coming a step
closer to
rocking around
the clock.
In the oldest
part of London
two affiliated
jazz clubs
boast a
membership of
more than
3,000.
Dance halls,
clubs and a
few record
stores with
capacious
quarters all
cater to the
current craze
of lunch-time
dancing.
Largest of
these midday
dance spots is
the Lyceum,
owned by a
company which
runs a chain
of dance halls
across
Britain.
Daily, except
Monday, 1,500
youngsters
cram the
converted
theatre.
For seven-cent
admission they
spend their
lunch break
jiving to the
beat of Bill
Haley, Elvis
Presley and
other rock 'n
rollers.
A
dual record
player keeps
the music
going
continuously
from 12:30 to
2:00.
Assistant
manager John
Morgan-Hosey
says many of
the younger
generation
seem to live
for it.
"Once I saw a
girl in tears
because she
had dropped
her money for
the next day's
session and
couldn't find
it, So
we let her in
free."
Most employers
are keen on
the idea of
midday
dancing, says
Morgan-Hosey.

Last week I
predicted
Johnny Mathis
as the top
male singer
(newcomer) and
Bonnie Guitar
as top female
singer
(newcomer).
As you see,
Johnny was
chosen most
promising
newcomer in
the male
vocalist
bracket and
Della Reese
was chosen the
top female
newcomer for
1957.
Although rock
'n roll had
one of its
biggest years,
slow ballads
took the big
awards for the
top songs of
the year.
Songs like
"Tammy," "Love
Letters in the
Sand," and
"It's Not for
Me to Say"
dominated the
best record
list of 1957
with songs
like "All
Shook Up,"
"Diana" and
"Wake Up
Little Susie"
in there
fighting for
top spot.
I
think the
biggest
surprise of
the year comes
from the fact
that "Tammy"
was chosen the
top song of
the
year.
Since Debbie
married Eddie
Fisher, Eddie
hasn't has a
hit, but
apparently the
males don't
mind if Debbie
is married,
because she
came through
with not only
a big hit but
the biggest,
best selling
record of the
year, from a
picture in
which she was
a star, "Tammy
and the
Bachelor."
