Records listed In this elasslficatlon are un-
usual-either the tune or the form of treat-
ment r and are proving surprises or "sleepers"
In many locations throughout the country. ac-
cording to Information from operators. Any
one of these records may break into the "fa-
vorites" elass above. Operators are Invited to
hear the following sides with an eye toward
discovering a smash hit and a nlckel-nobber:
ABE LYMAN: Biggest click in the
boxes by this vet leader to date is
You're in the Army Now with a vocal
sung by his entire band. Timely, too.
Bluebird.
MILDRED BAILEY: Her new ver-
sion of Georgia on My Mind has the
phonographs in the east, especially,
jumping. All vocal, backed up by a
Negro vocal group and a pretty clari-
net. Decca.
EARL HINES:
Reports are that
Hines' new Everything Depends on
You is proving a potent nickel- nabber,
especially on colored locations and
spots where youngsters hang out.
Strength of the arrangement is in the
vocal trio. Bluebird.
JIMMY DORSEY: Hotter than a red
wagon is this band. Try its follow-ups
to Amapola and I Understand; many
ops report they are making a lot of
money on as many as six J. Dorsey
discs of the moment. New ones which
look good are Green Eyes and Yours,
both with double O'Connell-Eberly vo-
cals, and an Eberly specialty titled
Maria Elena, in which Bob gets splen-
did backgrounds from three trom-
bones. All Decca.
BENNY GOODMAN: Lovely version
of the tune Intermezzo may click as
well as Marie Greene's. No vocal. On
Columbia.
WOODY HERMAN: Still another
version of Intermezzo, this time with a
vocal by the leader. The beauty of this
tune is obvious, and is starting to
climb via versions by Herman, Good-
man, Greene, Wayne King and Lom-
bardo. Decca.
GLENN MILLER:
Tab Ida as a
comer. Very Negroid arrangement but
appealing to most ears. Tex Beneke
sings. Bluebird.
BING CROSBY: Here's one by Bing,
with vocal help from Connie Boswell,
which is going to be one of the big
winners of 1941. It's titled YeB Indeed.
Bob Crosby's Bobcats accompany. A
zany little tune well handled by this
pair of top-notch song-sellers. Can't
miss, so stock up. Decca.
WILL BRADLEY: Boogie W oogie
Conga and Southpaw Serenade, both
with Ray (Drummer) McKinley vo-
cals, appear to be selling briskly, and
are worth trying on all types of loca-
tions. The conga has a fine rhythmic
lift; McKinley's singing and Fred
Slack's piano work are more than
enough to sell Southpaw. Columbia • •

third act, they kiss."
