Several weeks ago this column had an item commeding WGIV
for playing a selection from the album “Marvin Gaye and Tamml
Terrell United”. The song, “If This World Were Mine”, has
become Gaye and Terrell’s latest TAMLA release.
WGIV was the only station in this area to foresee the song’s
potential and give the record airplay.
The station has also been the only source where new hits can
be heard. Examples are “A Love That’s Real” by The Intruders,
“Dance to the Music” by Sly and the Family Stone, and “Baby
You’ve Got It” by Clarence Murray.
In addition, the station played “Back-Up Train” by A1 Greene,
“Heard It Through the Grapevine” by Gladys Knight and the Pips,
and “Skinny Legs and All” by Joe Tex.
'wgiv may not be number one in the ratings but they are showing
that they are interested in new talent and that they are willing to
give that new talent a chance.
Now WGIV has been sold. Before the new owners can take over
operation of the station, the Federal Communications Commis
sion has to make official approval of the sale. As it stands now,
WGIV is in a state of limbo.
But even under such circumstances, the announcers are still
working to improve the sound of WGIV by adding new features and
making new spot jingles.
You’ve got to give WGIV credit.
About those records never played in this area — Ed Ames
recently had a hit single, “Who Will Answer”. The record was
played by WSOC and WBT only.
“Who Will Answer”, also “Aleluya No. 1” is a protest song
of sorts with music similar to a Catholic hymn. The song is the
title of Ames’ new RCA album.
Other current recordings on the album include “There’s A
Kind of a Hush”, “Cherish”, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”,
“Monday, Monday”, “Yesterday”, and others.
It is refreshing to have an artist like Ed Ames sing the current
hits in an easy style.
One of this year’s best movies has one of this year’s test sound
tracks. Colgems has just released “Guess Who’s Coming to Din
ner” by DeVol.
There are two vocals on the album; both are exceptional. In
addition to the soft sound of the theme, “The Glory of Love”
is presented with a great amount of tenderness, the kind of ten
derness the subject matter of this film requires.

Everyone who appreciazs “Love Is Blue” will appreciate
the equally beautiful vocal arrangement of the same song by Manny
Kellem on Epic records.
Other presentations on the album include “It’s Not Unusual”,
“What a Wonderful World”, “Trains and Boats and Planes”,
“A Man and a Woman”, and “I Will Wait For You”.
“The Best of Anthony and The Imperials — Vol. 2” is new
on Veep records.
It is a collection of recordings of the new sound of Anthony.
The group has more or less left “rock and roll” and taken
up that type of song more appreciated by club audiences. Examples
from the new album include “You Only Live Twice”, and “Georgy
Girl”.
But both of those songs were never hits by Anthony so some of
the older songs of the group had to be included if the album was
to be “the test” of Anthony.
“Two People In the World”, and “Goin’ Out of My Head” were
included for this purpose. Other selections include “Pm Hypno
tized”, “Beautiful People” and “When You Wish Upon a Star”.
***************
Two movies that are a must for every moviegoer — “Camelot”
and “The Graduate”.
Look for a new release by The Happenings — “Music, Music,
Music”.

Grimm Brothers^ Local Talent
Make Green Garter Success
By SONIA MIZELL
The Green Garter Coffee House
was the scene of much fun and
laughter this past week as a large
number of students took advantage
of the excellent entertainment pro
vided by the Grimm Brothers.
Their satire of the American
system was obvious in most cases,
only occasionally leaving the audi
ence wondering. One of their test
skits concerned a student and his
guidance counselor. A truer pic
ture of the average counselor could
not have teen given.
On Thursday night, the audience
received an extra treat as Pervis
Lee, the well-known singer from
the Lion’s Den, have an hour per
formance. For one who loves soul
music and had never heard Pervis

before, it was a moving experience.
His singing has a quality that
travels to the depths of human
emotions. Pervis has hadnomusi
cal training except for church and
high school singing. He has teen
singing professionally for six
years, and writes many of his
own songs.
“Anything I can feel I like to
sing,” states Pervis. “It has to
come from inside me. I don’t sing
any song like they’re recorded.”
The future plans of Pervis Lee
include opening his own private
club which will feature his own
singing and other entertainment
groups.
A special mention should be
made of the local groups who en
tertained between the Grimm Bro
thers’ appearances. Most of the
audience was familiar with John
Hostetter’s group. The Paragons,
and many had heart Mary Ramsey
and Gary Miller sing atthe school.
However, the big surprise came
from Joe Blanton, Dan Cook, and
Jerry Overcash, who showed tre
mendous musical talent as they
improvised with piano, bass, and
drums. Their interpretation of
popular music was unique and had
a pleasing tempo.
The Green Garter will return
one more time this spring with
a gay nineties theme. The enter
tainment will be provided byUNC—C
students. More pictures of the
Green Garter appear on Pagd 4.
