NEW YORK. (GlobaD-Many
fans have remarked that Decca has
had other good voices and didn't
make the most of them. They re-
call Rita Moss and how Decca
didn't do anything with her and
let her go. Mercury Records
grabbed her and now she's rolling.
Art Ford, WNEW disc jockey, rec
ognized her worth via his program
last Friday evening. But under the
Decca banner Rita didn't move.
Fans are also saying that there is
considerable buzzing around Tin
Pan Alley that Decca is going
'1ily-write." Of course, having
known of Decca's fine record under
the late Jack Capp and his brother
Dave, we find it hard to believe
that Eddie Kissack will do any
thing to spoil that record.

The song, according to Tiny S
