DAVE LANE (Atlanta, GA) Ready for a laugh? The Cashbox Radio server stats includes a list of the TOP 10 users of our shows. we didn't recognize the address '153.48.52.241', so we looked up #10 (among 3,000 regular users), to see who owned it and '153.48.52.241' belongs to California's Dept Of Corrections!

JOHN HALE (Austin-Cedar Park, TX) Hi Jim, It's been a while since I've written...congratulations on the Cash Box gig. It couldn't happen to a better person. I had a chance last week to talk to someone who had a big impact on pop music, and top forty radio back in the sixties. I talked with Johnny Mann, who is in semi-retirement in South Carolina these days. His group, the Johnny Mann Singers, backed up a lot of the hits of the old Liberty record label in the late fifties and early sixties. He was also the originator, along with Bill Drake, of the Johnny Mann jingles that were used by 93 KHJ, KFRC, WOR-Fm, and a bunch of other big time stations. He still flies out to the coast several times a year to oversee jingle projects for radio and business, and I was a little surprised when he mentioned that there are still stations buying the 60's Johnny Mann jingle package. Samples show up on several websites around, and a listen to them shows that they really are still classic, and haven't aged all that much. You and some other Elkins graduates may remember when we jocked at the old KEIR, we played cuts from several Johnny Mann Singers albums. Johnny Mann had some interesting stories about working with Bill Drake on the KHJ jingle package, and is a very bright and interesting person to talk with.

ANDY WALDROP (Houston, TX) Jim, I found (in my library) from the 50's, a song with "Lady" in the title. It wasn't on Decca, though. It would have been on Victor, or RCA, or RCA Victor. The song is entitled "Lady Of Spain" by Eddie Fisher (from 1952). Is she ABSOLUTELY sure the song was just called "Lady," and that it was from the 50's? Was it a male singer, female singer, group??? Any additional info that Marylou could give us would help. Andy P.S. The first song that came to mind first was "Lady" by Jack Jones, but as you stated...that one was from the 60's.

MARYLOU LIBERTO says that the song, Lady, that peaks her interest is from the Fabulous Fifties. She says that it's on a 78 rpm Decca record and is recently heard on a Dallas radio station but the DJ gives no information on the tune. Might be a voice-track or syndicated radio program. Bring back the live voices on radio, pronto!

CHUCK DUNAWAY (Houston, TX) Subject: 7 Decades in the Billboard Top 20. Now that "Nothing But The Best" has hit #2 on the Billboard album charts, Sinatra becomes the only artist in history to place an album in the Top Twenty in every decade of the chart's existence. His highest charting albums, by decade: 1940s - "The Voice" (#1); 1950s - "Only The Lonely" (#1, 5 weeks); 1960s - "Nice N' Easy" (#1, 9 weeks); 1970s - "Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back" (#13); 1980s - "Trilogy" (#17); 1990s - "Duets" (#2); 2000s - "Nothing But The Best" (#2)
