Rene Reveals
Best Tunes
Tell A Story
BY FREDDIE BUFORD

HOLLYWOOD, Calf - (WS)-
''The best tunes always tell a
storyI" That is the belief OF Leon
Rene, composer of the new hit tune
Chapel In The Valley and the
sensation 'When The Swallows
Come Back To Capistrano," when
he talked with this reporter in his
home few days ago.
Rene asserted that if the writer
can tell mis- story with fine mu-
sical setting, there can be nothing
but success in the writing Of lyrics
and money will follow with the
reception by the public Of these
tales which will be close to the
hearts.
Two examples are the above
mentioned tunes which have been
taken to the heart by the Ameri-
car public. The whole nation mas
danced to, hummed and sung the
first mentioned number and dur
ing the month of February, Chapel
In the Valley was one of the twelve
most popular songs in the country
This is really distinction because
of the first twelve, only four of the
numbers are Ascap tunes.
The other eight are BMI tunes
and have the major networks to
be played over while the ASCAP
tunes are barred.
Following this thesis. Rene has
heen composing tunes for a num-
ber Of years and has written py
himself and with other people
some Of the best remembered tunes
Of the last decade. His first recog-
nition came with "Sleepy Time
Down South" and he has since
done SLEEPY Time In Hawaii"
Someone's Rocking My Dream
boat" ''If Money Grew On Trees"
and the unforgettable number,
Dusty Road"
Each and every one of these
numbers tell a story and he has
followed this outline with late5'
numbers entitled. "Tell Me Why,
"Old Hickory Tree" and 'Sleepy
Old Town. - These numbers have
teen recorded by Ceele Burke and
His Orchestra, the organization
which was the first 10 make rec
ord of 'Wnen The Swallows Come
Back To Capistranc' and the COM
poser believes they will be tunes
that America will be entertained
ky in many years to come.

Negro Composers Getting

BMI has also published the
highly interesting work of Sidney
Bechet the young old man OF

continents in the early 20s and
30's, as a clarinetist and soprano
saxophonist. Bechet's fame has
been largely confined to those VINO

to jazz
In 1919. when Bechet was tour
ing Europe with the Sam Wooding
band, Amsemeret and celebrated
French critic went into a literary
ecstasy over the technique ano
virtuousity of the young New Or
leanian and called his perform
ance "the greatest thing since the
Brandenburg Concerti.' Sidney
Bechet is not we'll known by the
radio public but BMI hopes that
some day he will be.
