MARRIAGE WOULD THEN BE AS AS Television-Radio News By DICK CLARK Editor's Note The author of this column is star of the "Dick Clark Show" and hosts "American Bandstand" on the ABC television network. NEW YORK two round, shiny, black records. Ten weeks from now one will be the biggest hit in America; the other will be just a sad memory for the artist who made it. How do you teli which is which? A musical show becomes known for the quality of music it plays; if you can spot hit material far enough in before then "give it a ride," your audience comes to expect good records of you, and jes' grows. But you can't make a hit out of a tune that doesn't have the potential; all you can do is bring it before a bigger, audience and make more people dislike it.

And spotting incipient top-tenners is a full-time job. Aside from your own, fallible intuition, you have three main sources for tips: on future hits- mail, personal contact and, most important of all, hops. It may seem unusual for a network performer to play local record hops in and around Philadelphia, at scale or gratis. But I'd willingly pay out my own money to go on running these affairs for teen-agers, and not as a matter of charity, either. May I never get so smug that I stop doing hops; that's where I find out what records are going to do what.

We usually arrange for the 500 to 1,100 teen-agers who will be attending to submit requests in advance. A big chunk of these requests will always be for the current hits. But if I spot a sizable minority requesting a brand new record, one that's only been played on the air once or twice, I know I'm on to something. During the dance, too, I get a chance to 9hat with the youngsters, and I learn what records to watch. I'm lucky enough to operate out of one of the "hippiest" areas of the country.

Among the most sensitive barometers for new records are Philly, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Boston; these and a few more cities will pick up a future hit faster than any other part of the United States. In each of them I have pals in the music business, and we talk almost daily by phone. The third major source for future hits is our mail. The surveyors tell me we get a greater volume of fan is, non- contest any other show on the air; we play to an enthusiastic and highly vocal adience. siastic and highly vocal audience, spotting regional hits.

Sometimes a small outfit will cut a disc for, say, just the Southeast area. The kids there will tell me about it and if enough of them are excited about the same record, I'll send for a copy and may give it a try on the show. From then on, it's up to the audience. In this music business, it's always up to the audience. FURNITURE 146 MAIN PADRONE: 1138 WHAT HAPPENED TO MY POWER DRILL.
