' a. isiiL i Ml Gospel Singers Musi Organize lobe Successful EW YORK CITY - The majority of gospel singers wB ' newer graduate into the, bej money unless they get organized and let others handle their business affairs, predicted one of Broadway's top booking agents. Herb Moon, who handles the gospel- department of Queen Booking Corp., said that these groups will have to stop booking themselves in whistle stop engagements that sometimes don't groat $200.00. He credited the success of James . Cleveland, rated the foremost male gospel singer in toe- nation, to his professionals. His one night tours start at $2h()() and often . he walks away from a concert -with as much as $7500. "There are a few such as Cleveland, Inez Andrews, Mighty Clouds of Joy, Soul Stirrers and Shirley Caesar," said Moon, "who have signed contracts with our agency. And they are amazed at the profitable engagements we secure for them in comparison to what they once earned." 4: While most groups and singers jn the gospel field have restricted themselves to dates In small churches and lodge halls that seat 200 and 300 persons, Moon books .QBC's . clients into large concert halls, auditoriums and on college campuses. With crowds of as much as 8000 that can be accomodated in these places, he points out that the artist can walk away with a larger share of the boxoffice. He laments the fact that these groups are poorly educated into the methods of show business by not having personal managers, accountants and business advisers as do bigtime pop artists - such as . Sammy Davis, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield or Gladys Knight and the Pips, all acts handled by QBC. "It's a proven fact." said Moon, "that performers can't work all night and then arise at daybreak to talk facts and figures with shrewd and 'sharp business men. They need such advisers to advance their S Interests." g To , bolster his arguments he said that the late Clara Ward and Mahalla Jackson struggled for pennies until they -retained professionals to guide' their careers which brought them lucrative TV, record and theatre appearances. The late Sam. Cooke and Aretha FTanklln, said Moon, both were products of the gospel world and amassed a fortune when they placed their business affairs in the hands of - competent persons. The gospel department of QBC is one of the few attached . to a major booking agency. Owned by Mrs. Ruth Bowen, president, the agency last year grossed more than $30 million for its numerous clients. ! I TWcalWorid 1 'Tain nrj aBMBM It NEW YORK - Sonny Carson, the Brooklyn activist, is leading a campaign to get 12-year-oid Tommy Hicks, who plays young Son ny in Paramount Pictures' "The Education of Sonny Carson", out of Wiltwyck Training School. The youngster, who is making Ws acting debut in the movie now shooting in Brooklyn, was placed in the institution over a year ago after he couldn't get along with his father. He also had a fascination for cars-just like the real Sonny did as a kid.

Whispers: A Five-Man Self-Contained Song And Dance Team Benjamin S. Baffin- limes . Robert Spruill, President Community Radio Workshop Place: 336 East Pettigrew Street Durham, North Carolina The Whispers are a five-man self -contained song and dance team from Watts, California. They -wear handsome, tux-type costumea, travel with a basic rhythm section and charts for the horns, and believe in delivering solid entertainment. The Whispers are: Nicholas Caldwell (Aries), Gordy Harmon (Gemini), Marcus Hutson (Capricorn), and Walter and Wallace (Scotty) Scott (Libra). Walter and Scotty are identical twins with identical voices that could fool a voice check. They are the lead singers They have known each other since junior high school, and are all graduates of Jordan High School (Watts). Nobody had any formal music education With the Initial exception of Walter, who put in three years of college with the intention of getting a Business Administration defies, each of .The Whispers always wanted to sing in the group, which took two years after high school to organize. The group is now seven years old, and has been together all that time except, once again, for Walter, who was a radio operator in Viet Nam for fourteen months. Their manager, Dick Griffey, first saw The Whispers at the Cinder Club in Houston. They had been working in and around the smaller clubs in the Los Angeles area. Not anymore. In the last year, The Whispers have played all over the country in large rooms and concert halls. Their goal is to pack the biggest halls--the Forum in L. A., Madison Square Garden, Las Vegas, and Miami. Places like that. One of their earliest professional breaks was appearing in Salt Lake City on a bill with Sonny and Cher in 1965. More recently, The Whispers have played the Hollywood Palladium with the Four Tops and the Apollo with Joe Tex. They got a rare standing ovation at the Apollo, and tt whetted their appetites for more of the same. They have appeared on the nationally syndicated "Soul Train" television show out of LA, and on "Boss City", a local show on WKHJ-TV, also in L. A. They have had five national chart records under the direction of producer Ron Carson. They appear frequently at high schools, where they talk to the kids about the importance of finishing school. They play their old high school in Watts annually .ami tell the kids that just because they are from Watts doesn't mean they have to be tough, dope-talking dudes from "the street." The Whispers are totally opposed to any kind of narcotics (grass obviousiy. included). They don't drink, either. But they do enjoy plenty of feminine companionship-two are Happily Married Men. Th.e rest enjoy playing the field and checking out the players. Their name, The Whispers, evolved naturally when the group was going into a recording studio without a proper name. They sat around passing suggestions and someone came up with The Whispers- a good name for a group which makes its point without histrionics -singing and dancing, but never shouting to be heard. All five of The Whispers are expert acrobatic dancers. Nick does their choregraphy. Nick, Marcus, and Gordy (usually the middle men in the group) do the heaviest dancing. They all do spins, turns, and levels, and they use available mikes, not lavaliers. They avoid cliches and try to express personal involvement on stage. They work hard for a professional look. They do much of their own writing. Their publishing company is Fran-Oak. Gordy and Nick are the principal writers. Gordy works out the, melody on piano and Nick writes the lyrics. They all work on final arrangements. The Whispers' favorite composers include Quincy Jones, Curtis Mayfield, Jim .Webb, Dee Ervin, Billy Stewart, Burt Bacharach, and the Beatles. The Hi-Los, Four Freshmen, Flamingos, Carpenters, and Bread are singers they respect. The Ojay's from Cincinnati, Sammy Davis, Jr., Fred Astaire, "the late, great Jesse Belvin," and Tom and Jack Jones are other musical influences.
