"SLEEPERS"
(Destined to Be Big Hits in the Coin Machines)
Records listed in this classification are unusual-either the tune
or the form of treatment, and are proving surprises or "sleepers" in
many locations throughout the country. Any one of these records
may break into the · "favorites" class above. Operators are invited
to hear the following sides with an eye toward discovering a smash
hit and a nickel-nabber:

ART KASSEL: The "hell's bells" leader has a winner in
Alexander the Swoose, which is going big in the Chicago
area-big enough a few weeks ago to make the "hits"
class above. Novelty tune with clever vocal, Bluebird. Best
for bar locations.
MILDRED BAILEY: When That Man is Dead and Gone
is Bailey's first side under her new Decca contract. Accom-
panied by a vocal group, it's socks for locations of every
type-and unlike anything she's ever done before. Tab it.
JIMMY DORSEY: Hotter right now that at any other
time in his career, Dorsey has two strong "sleepers" in I
Understand, a lovely ballad he wrote himself, and a follow-
up to his sensational Amapola titled Green Eyes, with Bob
Eberly and Helen O'Connell dividing vocal chores again.
Can't miss. Decca.
GLENN MILLER: On the other side of Chapel in the
Valley, Glenn has a potential click in Song of the Volga
Boatmen, but the latest Miller side to watch closely, in these

boxes, is his stylized treatment of A Little Old Church in
England, also on BBird.
HARRY JAMES: For the first time, the young trump-
eter has two definite hits at the same time, Eli, Eli, the
Jewish chant, reverently done by Harry with a string
background, and Music· Makers, a jazz tune commercial
enough in makeup to attract nickels from non-swing fans,
Eli, Eli, is dynamic on Hebraic locations, ops report.
Columbia.
WOODY HERMAN: Paired on the back of Oh, Look at
Me Now is a Sid Robbin tune, or rather Sid's adaptation of
an old Italian song, called Sorrento. Good idea is to put
this side up in the boxes as well as Oh Look at Me Now.
Woody treats it as he treated Frenesi. Decca.
ARTIE SHAW: Dancing in the Dark, by the same band
that made Shaw's Stardust a clickeroo, looks almost as good
in the few weeks it has been issued. Victor.
ART TATUM: For Negro locations, and musicians' hang-
outs, flop this on the pile and watch the nickels flow in.
Tatum does Wee Baby Blues and lets Joe Turner shout the
lyrics. It's the greatest record Tatum ever made with a
band and Turner's vocal is exciting enough to sell anyone.
