RED'S
RECORD RACK
Mathis
to Remain On
Musical Scene
By
RED ROBINSON
(Vancouver
Sun Jan. 17, 1958) |
Young Johnny
Mathis makes his first
appearance in Vancouver tonight.
He will be backed up by the
wonderful Hi-Los. The
Hi-Los were recently with Carmen
McCrae and Ted Heath.
Johnny Mathis is
still attending Columbia
University in New York.
It's sort of coincidental that
he should now record for
Columbia records.
Johnny is 21 years
old and is destined to remain on
the pop music scene for some
time.
In nine short
months he has scored with
numerous ballads with the
initial hit being "Wonderful
Wonderful." Since this he
has had other 1,000,000 sellers
like "It's Not for Me to Say,"
"Chances Are," and his current
hit song could make it too . . .
"Wild Is the Wind."
LITTLE KNOWN
A little-known fact
about Johnny is that he appeared
on the screen in a little-known
movie called "Lizzie."
Johnny sang "It's
Not for Me to Say" in this show.
He was voted the
most promising new male vocalist
of 1957 by the trade magazines.
He will be heard
but not seen in the motion
picture "Wild Is the Wind."
OLD THEORY
Last week Arthur
Fiedler* commented in the press
in Montreal that he likes rock
and roll and feels that it is an
important part of our way of
life.
He also said that
the people who are yelling that
good music is not heard enough
are wrong. He feels that
there is a place for everything
and that classical or good music
sometimes is very boring.
This is history
repeating itself. Leopold
Stokowski** stood up for Frank
Sinatra during his days as the
idol of the bobby soxers.
Mr. Stokowski said that Frank
Sinatra had his place on the
American music scene as much as
classical music.
I think both these
gentlemen have proven that there
is no mass resentment against
rock and roll but slight
annoyance at the monopoly rock
held on the air and in the music
stores.
* * * * *
Notes:
* Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the
famous Boston Pops orchestra.
** Leopold Stokowski, famous
conductor notably of the Philadelphia
Orchestra, and conductor in the Disney
film "Fantasia."
