CKWX TOP FIFTY VANCOUVER TOP 40 RADIO EDITION ©2019 |
| PREDICTING THE POPS OR CALLING THE SHOT VANCOUVER PROVINCE DEC. 27, 1957 Taking a
flier at predicting who -- or what--will be
tops in 1958 are live brave disc jockeys.
Handsome teen aged deejay Brian Forst of CJOR feels that real loud rock and roll is dying. "However," says Brian, "the beat is here to stay. Kids buy the beat, but watch for the real loud rock to fold." If anyone should know what the teenagers like it's Brian who won out over dozens of would-be dee-jays last spring to nab the coveted post at CJOR. "We're getting away from the junk," he feels. Brian picks Jimmy Rodgers for the top rock and roll star in '58 -- because he's a quiet rock and roller and he's really hitting it these days. Picking a femme star for 1958 almost had Brian stumped. There aren't many girl rockers, but he finally settled on Bonny Guitar. What will be the top song type in '58? Folk songs, says Brian, with hand-clapping in the background, but always with the beat--the kids love that beat. Taking a fling at predicting 1958 music-wise is Jack Kyle, happy deejay at CKNW. Jack feels Doris Day will come winging back into popularity. She's been missing from the hit parade for some time, points out Kyle, but she could make strides in '58 on the comeback trail. Johnny Mathis, Columbia's golden boy for '57 will keep right on going in '58. He'll grow in stature in show business, Jack claims -- just keep an eye on him. Now songwise, Jack thinks the ballads will gain strength in the new year. "There will be a preponderance of polka-musette harmonica, or even flute sounds. However, the main fare on the musical menu will be strongly ballad and folk songs. So there you are--Jack thinks we're taking to the hills. Bob McGavin of CKWX thinks '58 will be Frank Sinatra's big year. Or, rather, it will be a big year after a big slump. "There are indications that Frankie has matured and his public appeal is still terrific." As for Edie Gorme, Bob thought she was great in '57 and feels she'll outdo herself next year. Another lad who likes Edie Gorme is Bob Gillies of CKLG. Bob, who is a singer himself when he isn't spinning the pops, knows whereof he speaks, too. His top male in '58 is Johnny Mathis, who was no slouch this year, either. Another deejay who goes for the Sinatra magic is Peter Jackson, C-FUN. Peter thinks like deejay McGavin that Frankie is due to hit his best year. On the distaff side, Peter will take cute Patti Page, who he believes can hold her own with the best. |

| RED'S RECORD RACK Tommy Sands Seen 1958 Champion By RED ROBINSON (Vancouver Sun Jan. 3, 1958) |
||||
|
It's
a battle of the
marquee and a battle for the
turntables these days among
Tommy Sands of Capitol
Records, Pat Boone, Elvis
Presley and Ricky Nelson. Elvis started the record battle two years ago Pat Boone followed. Now Tommy Sands sneaks in with his first movie "Sing Boy Sing." SEEN CHAMPION The show was originally entitled "Singin Idol," a Kraft TV presentation of a year ago that introduced Tommy Sands to the entertainment world. Critics say the movie may establish Tommy as the champion in the acting arena. This is simple to figure. Tommy made his debut as an actor while Elvis and Pat came on the scene through the recording field. In conjunction with the movie there will be a 12-inch long play released and following this more pop singles that could put Tommy Sands on top of the ladder of success.
JAZZ PROMINENT Watch Tommy sands in 1958. It appears that jazz will be a prominent item in every field this coming year. Recently two of the major networks in the United States have presented jazz showcases featuring the top entertainment in the field. There has been a trend towards jazz in the pop field. Song like The Swinging Shepherd Blues and Yellow Dog Blues are becoming very popular items to the public. MATHIS COMING Vancouver promoters are bringing pop singer Johnny Mathis here in January. Johnny Mathis won the cash box and billboard polls as last year's most promising new male vocalist. He is rumored to be coming with Jerry Fielding and his orchestra, featuring the Hi-Los. This lineup should be received very well by Vancouver. HIGH JUMPER Mr. Mathis is the world's high jump champ and just recently became a champion of the turntables with four consecutive million sellers . . . "Wonderful Wonderful," "It's Not for Me to Say," "Chances Are," "Wild Is the Wind" and now it looks like the flip of "Chances Are," a song called "Twelfth of Never" will make the million mark to push the total record sales for this disc to two million. It's nice to see the entertainment scene alive in Vancouver. |
