The Original things that arrives on the music scene
every few years and takes it by storm.
She's an original.
At fourteen she had developed a
singing style all her own .and a taste for
. .

a new type of earthy, true-to-life song.

Her first album included "Delta Dawn"
and "The Jamestown Ferry." Songs that
will continue to be coverea for years
to come.
Her second album has already given
Tanya two Number-One country
hits. "What's Your Mama's Name" and
. .

"Blood Red and Goin' Down."

Now, at fifteen, Tanya is on the
verge of exploding nationally. .

As all true originals inevitably must.

Although the narrative of the cer-
Some cmons will be meorporatej. the al-
bum will be predominantly music.
This is causing problems for BBC
because the sleeve is having to be
prepared blind. Princess Anne has
not yet chosen the music for the oc-
casion and, therefore, no detail can
be given on die cover. An insert may
be added at a Uler stage.
Judging by the sales -44.000-of

OCTOBER 13. 1973. BILLBOARD

FACT: Record industry trade pcqiers cire
the most effective means of
influencing rcKiio
programmers*
And Billboard (t the most efftctlve
of the record industry trade papers
. . . We can prove It.

Billboard commissioned the re-

search division of Hagen Com-
munications, Inc. to do m-
depth research lo disclose
-tor the first time— how ad-
vertising ir> trade publications
influences airplay.
Various record manufacturers
designated Si. Louis. Missouri
as a typical music market,
prompting the research team
to conduct in-depth interviews

^ '

.''""'r^^
— .
J^^iliU^
with individuals at
St.
20 of the 21
Louis stations that program
""^-tHr
music. Here's what they found:
Of the top ten sources of Infor-
mation used by radio programmers, trade publications lead
the field with a decisive 83.7 per cent margin.*
Most of the Individuals interviewed tn St. Louis admitted being influ-
enced, in variousways, by trade paper advertising.*
After determining that trade paper advertising does, indeed, influence radio program-
mers, the researchers wanted to know how the different record industry trade papers
compared against one another.
Within the Si, Louis Market, 92% of the key programming sources read Billboard.*
More time was spent reading Billboard than almost the combined time spent reading the
other two publications."
As you can see, trade paper advertising does, in fact, influence radio influenlials who pro-
gram a station's music and expose to the record-buying public. And Billboard has proven
it

to be the number one source used by radio programmers to learn about and evaluate new
releases through its news, reviews, charts and advertising. Projecting all this one step further,
you could say that trade advertising in Billboard indirectly
communicates to,and sells to, the all-important consumer.
Billboard. We take your advertising one step further.
For your own private videocas-
setle screening of Billboard's
radio influence, call: Peter
Heine, Director of Sales, Los
Angeles, 213/273-7040 (or)
Mike Eisenkraft, Eastern
Sales Manager, New York,
212/7&4-734a. It could well
be the most informative 15
minutes you've
spent this
year.

... now the
album cut...
Arranged and Conducted by
BONFA'S TIME NOW...
IS
AND THE CRITICS AGREE!
JACARANDA-Bonia- Ranwood R 8112
What we're talking here is the con-
tinuation of the new birth of progressive
pop-jazz. Deodato did much to further
that cause with his smash hit. "Also
Sprach Zarathustra" and others have
followed suit, but Bonfa'lends to some-
thing a bit different here. With Deodato
arranging and conducting, Bonfa' runs
through ten solid tracks of that progres-
sive pop jazz the highlights of which
appear on "Apache Talk," "Don Quix-
ote" and "Danse V," in attendance to
assist are the likes of some very fine
musicians, including Airto, Ray Barret-
to, Mark Drury and Stanley Clark. All
add to the overall effectiveness, but this
is Bonfa^s baby and a beautiful one it is.

DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE
LUIZ BONFA —
Jacaranda, Ranwood
R 8112. Not too much has been heard
from
school.
latelyfrom the Brazilian Latin
Master guitarist Bonfa' can
change all that. This LP captures all
the gentle beauty of South America, the
changing tides and ebbing breezes, the
lolling effects of chords and progres-
sions emerging from his 6 and 12 string
acoustic guitar. Eumir Deodato ar-
ranged and conducted the orchestra
which gives Bonfa the finest of support.
There is much pop easy listening ap-
peal to this album, for Bonfa' Is a gentle
force in music. Ray Barretto and Airto
are a dynamic duo on Latin percussion,
with Phil Bordner's flute and Sonny
Beyer's tenor sax infusing spice.
Best cuts: "Apache Talk," "Strange
Message," "Danse V" (an unusually
gutsy guitar performance).
Dealers: stock in jazz and Latin.
Bonfa'is recognized for this bossa nova
work.
