Mathis
Serenade
Headed for Top By
RED ROBINSON (Vancouver Sun
June 20, 1958)
Johnny
Mathis, San Francisco's
second earthquake, speaking
musically, of course, is
back again with a sweet
serenade that is bound for
the top of today's
tabulation.
The song is
from a Twentieth Century Fox
production called "A Certain
Smile" in which Johnny stars
as a night club
singer. The title of
the song is the same as the
title of the movie.
This is not
Johnny's first performance
on the screen. He was
first introduced to the
public in a show called
"Lizzie" in which he
introduced "It's Not for Me
to Say," one of his biggest
million sellers.
While I was in
Los Angeles Peter Potter and
his juke box
jury rated this as the
spotlight song of the
week. I think that
you'll agree after hearing
this song that it is one of
the nicest ballads of the
day.
Johnny is in
great demand everywhere he
goes in the U.S. With
his records and movies being
so successful he could well
become one of the all-time
greats following in the
footsteps of Nat King Cole.

While
I was in Los Angeles I
learned from the music
publishers and song writers
that novelty songs and rock
tunes are still in great
demand by the buying
public, Success of
Sheb Wooley's "Purple People
Eater' and David Seville's
"Witch Doctor" are proof of
the trend.
Seville, by the
way, is back with a follow
to "Witch Doctor" called
"Bird On My Head." If
this song also climbs to the
top of the survey you can
expect many more novelty
type songs released by the
major record companies.
Frank Gallop,
announcer on the Perry Como
show, has hopped on the
bandwagon with a novelty
tune of ABC Paramount called
"Got a Match". This
song could light the way to
further novelty hits.
Got a Match? - Frank Gallop
A
new trend that's sweeping
England has spread to North
America and American
bandstand maestro Johnny
Otis has recorded a hand
jive tune that's taking off
like wild fire.
Hand jive
basically is rock music with
hand movements to accompany
the music. In other
words, instead of using your
feet to express the rhythm
of the music you make hand
motions much like the
Hawaiians do. If you
think you've got rocking
hands you'll dig hand jive.
