Show By LYN CONNELLY NOTHING is as uncertain in radio ra-dio and TV as the fate of a new song . Writers and music publishers alike rack their brains trying to anticipate current tastes but they are first to acknowledge the fact that nobody can predict what tunes the public will boosi to the Hit Parade, and what tunes it will ignore ... So no one in Flick-erville Flick-erville is more amazed these days than Country Washburne, who finds himself with a hit on his hands in spite of his feeling that "Open Up Your Heart" is "just another tune." Bing Crosby recorded the tune, Curt Massey has been featuring it on his CBS-Mutual shows and, recently re-cently Imogene Coca did a long spot on "Shows of Shows," featuring featur-ing the song, singing three verses and eight choruses . . As Country Coun-try says, "I'll never understand it, but I guess I've got my biggest hit." PLATTER CHATTER CAPITOL: Mickey Katz continues con-tinues his satires with "Don't Let the Schmaltz Get in Your Eyes," backed by "Why Don't You Believe Be-lieve Me?" both good sides . . . Tex Ritter has fun with "My Woman Wom-an Ain't Pretty" and "Buffalo Dream". . . And the torch department depart-ment is represented these days by Ramblin' Jimmie Dolan who does an excellent job with "Memories and Heartaches". . . "Playin" Don Inoes and Shootin' Dice" is on the flip side. The popular song, "No Help Wanted" is done well by Capitol's Hank Thompson . "I'd Have Never Found Somebody New" is the mate . . . Dean Martin's latest disc is a lovely ditty entitled "Little "Lit-tle Did We Know" . . . 'There' My Lover" is on the reverse side "Tuxedo Junction," a favorite of over a decade ago, Is given a lively revival by Ole Rasmussen Ole does his own number "Something from Heaven" on tfc flip side. aalBiaanaIaMMnaninHiiiiiii |
