1969

From the back cover: How do you launch a line of exciting, fresh and contemporary cars like the 1969 Fords? With an exciting, fresh and contemporary idea... a brand-new singing group, THE GOING THING.

First, the cars were tagged "The Going Thing," which summed up how they looked, and how they moved. Then a song was written that captured the spirit of the cars. And to top it all off, a search began for a group of young people who would symbolize "The Going Thing" concept. They are talented, young professionals who have already packed a passel of musical know-how into their tender years.

The entire premise for THE GOING THING GROUP actually began with a massive search for this elusive and fragile ingredient known as "the sound," after which the elements of a group were sought out, tested and polished into the finished product. Fortunately, there is no shortage of professional singers on the Hollywood scene. They turned out in platoons to be interviewed and auditioned.

Anchor men for "the sound" were the Bahler brothers, John and Tom. John was born in New York, grew up in California and joined the Navy in 1960. In the service he was an arranger/performer in the Navy Chorus both here and overseas. Back on the civilian scene, he wrote music and performed on TV in Washington, D. C. He has appeared on almost every major TV variety show, arranged or sang with groups headed by Johnny Mann, Allan Copeland, Henry Mancini, Hugo Montenegro, and many others.

Tom Bahler was born in California and followed his brother's steps in the field of music. Starting out as president of the high school band, he became a trumpet soloist and leader of his own dance band. After his graduation from U.S.C. in 1966, Tom sang on "The Smothers Brothers Show," worked as a studio singer and provided background for Vikki Carr, Pete King, Tony Scotti and Sue Raney.

The third member to be selected for THE GOING THING was singer-drummer-trumpeter Mitch Gordon. Mitch's path crisscrossed with the Bahler's in the Navy, on the "Swinging Country" TV show and as a member of singing groups assembled for the Pat Boone, Steve Allen, Red Skelton and Dick Van Dyke shows.

Janis Hansen, a titian-haired songstress from Montana, was a natural choice as one of the girls in the group. An attractive young lady who lives music 24 hours a day, Janis decided to make singing her life while attending the University of Colorado where she shucked zoology

for the bandstand. She auditioned for "Sergio Mendez and Brazil '66" and was immediately signed. Janis left Mendez to form her own group, but changed her plans at once when she auditioned and earned a spot with THE GOING THING.

Susan Teague, a pint-sized package of energy, has been in the show business world since the age of 12. Singer, dancer, actress, Susan was a bouncy, bright addition to the group where she blended in as though she had been

working with the guys and girls all her life. California-born, Susan made her bow in the movie "Gypsy" at age 12. In 1964 she briefly decided to give up show business and attended night school. She was offered a role in CBS-TV's "Many Happy Returns," however, and could not resist the opportunity. Despite her 3.5 average, she decided that the theater was where she really belonged.

Steve Flanagan was born and raised in the slums of Watts, California. A mixture of Irish, Indian and Negro, he was immediately accepted for the glee club in high school. Steve's first professional break occurred when he was selected to appear with The Young Americans. As a member of the group, he traveled for three years with such headliners as Tony Bennett, Johnny Mathis and Nancy Wilson in addition to appearances on the Andy Williams, Ed Sullivan and Red Skelton TV shows.

Tall, handsome Wes Oldaker is another native Californian who was tapped for THE GOING THING. A marketing major at U.S.C., Wes has always been active in high school and college musical activities. When the opportunity presented itself, he joined the group called "Youngfolk" and toured the nation singing with such stars as Judy Garland, Trini Lopez, Roger Williams, Roger Miller, and many others.

Honey-haired Jacquie Wiseman hails from Oregon and moved to Newport Beach, California, at the age of nine. Always interested in anything musical since the age of three, she was granted a scholarship to U.S.C. where her studies were highlighted by drama, opera and musical comedy presentations. Jacquie also plays piano and is one of those rare individuals with perfect pitch. She was an immediate hit with everyone and an obvious choice in rounding out the organization.

Fortified with these fresh and exciting talents and the concept of their own new "sound," THE GOING THING GROUP promises to be a welcome addition to the field of today's contemporary music. There can be little or no doubt as to their versatility, nor the potential of such a group as musical commentators for Ford cars.

The Magic Islands - Alfred Newman

The Magic Island (Parts 1 & 2)

Alfred Newman and his Orchestra with the Ken Darby Singers
DL 79048 (two cover variations)
1957

From the inside (gatefold) cover: Alfred Newman stands firmly among today's masters of music, a man lavishly gifted as an artist, composer and conductor. His prodigious output of motion picture scores has brought him seven Academy Awards and the deep respect of his contemporaries throughout the world. He music for "The Robe" – (Decca DL 9012) has already taken its place in the forefront of  Hollywood's great film scores and his "Serenade To The Stars"( Decca DL 8123) contains some of the most beautiful movie themes ever recorded.

Ken Darby, for the past nine years the vocal supervisor for 20th Century Fox, will be remembered for his setting of Moore's "Twas The Night Before Christmas" – (Decca ED 548). Many of Bing Crosby's greatest records were made under his choral supervision, including "Ghost Riders In The Sky," "Now Is The Hour" and the classic "White Christmas."

The talent of Alfred Newman and Ken Darby were recently associated in the musical production of the highly lauded Rodgers and Hammerstein films "Carousel" and "the King And I."

From Billboard - May 13, 1957: The de luxe packaging job is the outstanding feature here. Several beautiful color pages of island scenes, a glossary of everyday Hawaiian words and their pronunciations, and a list of common English terms with the Hawaiian equivalents are included in addition to the disk. The color, customs and romance of the scenic isles are enjoyably presented in the sequence of songs. Hi-fi bugs will go for the range and depth of sound. The special features make this a very attractive buy.

Tabpp, Vol. 2 - The Exotic Sounds of Arthur Lyman

The Exotic Sounds Of Arthur Lyman
Taboo Vol. 2
HIFIRECORD Album R822
1959

From the back cover: Here again Arthur Lyman does what nobody else can do. Rockets and Missles couldn't do it. Even Luniks and Sputniks have already been outspeeded by Arthur Lyman!

How come?

Well, lovers, our furthest-traveling missile is only good for 7,500 miles... and it take hours to get there...

Taboo Tu is a joint effort of Arthur Lyman and Allen Soars. Taboo Tu is proof that emergencies sometimes produce phenomenal results. While cutting this album, Arthur suddenly discovered he was one song short! He had just two hours in which to come up with an acceptable tune! Arthur and Allen proceeded to prove that two heads are better than one. (Aren't you sorry, you one-headed people?) Anyway, Taboo Tu was written, arranged, rehearsed and recorded in just two hours!

The Luniks and Sputniks took days to accomplish their mission. But for those of you who like to travel to the faraway, mystery-scented, exciting corners of the world (and would doesn't?), ATA Lyman makes this possible by placing you there within easy reach of your record-player. This album is Arthur Lyman's new, "Play as you GO" plan. Yes, enclosed in this jacket is a new World's Record... ant it's Arthur Lyman's latest effort in breaking the "speed of exotic-sound" barriers

From the back cover: Mr. Raskin wishes to express his thanks to Mr. Dominic Frontiere of Columbia Records for his invaluable assistance in the preparation of this album.

Milton Raskin is an extremely talented pianist, composer and arranger. (He is Johnny Mercer's partner). Milt exhaustively resealed the legends and musical traditions of Hawaii and then wrote modern description compositions to fit the exotic mood of each legend. So the music in KAPU is not only highly original and creative... it is authentic, too...

Using harp, bongos, flutes, marimbas, boo-bars, accordion, electric organ and piano, Raskin has brought to life the wild, throbbing rhythms and moving romantic colors of ancient Hawaii. The thrilling tension and final explosion of a volcano is contrasted with the glowing romance and imaginative flower legends. The lazy life near the sea serves as a backdrop for the exciting Moon Festival. With each legend, he has distilled the essence of its musical flavor for you to savor for many evenings to come!

From Billboard Magazine - June 15th, 1959: Program music describing various Hawaiian legends inked by Johnny Mercer's partner. Raskin himself is heard on cocktail-style piano, celeste and bongo box. Four other percussionists take turn at 16 kinds of percussion instruments. For good measure, there are also bass, organ harp, flute and more. The exotic effects are employed, disk should be sold more for quiet listening and dancing than for sound.
