" All you ever get from her is long
distance love" is a line that should
start pulling in quarters for you at
just about any location .
It comes from a song called
" Long Distance Love " (Warner
Bros . 8174) which is from a beautiful
album called The Last by Little Feat,
a group a music friend of mine calls
the best band in America .
The whole song is good, but it's
worth it just to hear Lowell George
belt out that chorus line, just as it's
worth it to hear Willie Nelson's
gravelly voice softly croon "Re-
member Me" (Columbia 10275),
from his album The Red Headed
Stranger.
Meanwhile, dancing disease is
still hitting everybody from coast-to
coast and the Sylvers, a young
Jackson 5-ish group, is getting its
share of the bump booty with
"Boogie Fever" (Capitol 4179). Par-
DREAM WEAV t t< vary Wright (Warners,

EVIL WOMA N Jell Lvnne (Un iha .. Jel ,

liament, one of the few groups with
,t wo names and two labels, puts out
some heavy movements with its " P.
Funk" (Casablanca 852), which is
perhaps too long for many of you,
but the lyrics are outer space,
literally .
Getting ou t is the theme of a song
that moved into the number one
spot on the po., charts as this issue
went to press. Paul Simon's " 50
Ways to Leave Your Lover" (Col-
umbia 3 10270) leaves no doubt as
to where the song 's narrator wants
to go.
The song 's marching rhythm is its
hook, driving it to more and more
play and driving the former number
one song, " Convoy" (MGM M
14839), into the second place slot .
Of new sin gles available to oper-
ators now, but not yet in the top
100's, Carole King's "Only Love is
Real" (Ode 66119), is a perfect
Charts cou rte sy of

choice for that MOR location or
rock-MOR spot. A beautifully sung
delicacy from the Tapestry lady off
her new album, Thoroughbred.
In the country arena this month,
another female singer/ writer who's
been around for a long time has a
song that's likely to soar in popular-
ity . Tammy Wynette may have a
giant on her hands with a superb
ballad titled " Till Can Make It on My
Own" (Epic 8-50196), a song with
more emotion in it than a teardrop
can hold.
Another country selection worth
having (simply because of the title)
is Carmol Taylor's "Play the Sad-
dest Song on the Jukebox," a
hanky-tonk beer-getter with a na -
turally heavy jukebox bass line .
In all areas, the music seems to
keep on coming and getting better.
All we can do is play it.
