Frankie Avalon's new record.
"Ginger Bread" looks as if it
may be his biggest yet.
frankie, still only IS, has
acted in a movie, appeared on
several televiSion network shows
and made a hit in many theater
appearances. But he still
hasn't had a real smasheroo on
records.
His managers, Bob Marcucci
and Peter DeAngelis, who also
run Chancellor Records in Phil
adelphia, have written most Of
his past songs. But not this
one.
Mr.. DeAngelis found it in
New York when he was audi
tioning some new tunes. He
played the demonstration rec
ord for frankie, frankie loved
it. and the recording session
was set for June 5.
Mr.. DeAngelis, recognizing
that the lyrics had a flavor of
sugar and spice and every
thing nice" made the musical
arrangement a little subtler
than Frankie's usual straight
rock and roll.
He used a rhythm section,
baritone and tenor saxes and
a male chorus behind Frankie.
For the rhythm, he mixed a
cha cha beat in with the usual
back beat.
The recording session went
very smoothly. There was only
one goof. The Four Dates. the
chorus backing Frankie, sang
with considerable animation
and one of them hit his nose
on the microphone.
When the tape was played
back. q duh "clunk" could be
heard. 1t broke the musicians
up with laughter, but the de-
feet was soon repaired.

peared from the face of the earth, along with the bus
in which they travelled and its driver completely as

There was of course nothing nterpanetary or super
natural about the disappearance Of nine children, one
adult and a special-bodied station wagon which was

for it, assumed all the aspects Of black magic in the
