circles ... and Bobby's newly re-

leased album, "Beautiful Days of
My. Youth" was the trigger theme
. . . It's on the MGM label, and
even the president of the company
came to Detroit for Bobby's party
. . . Folks who seldom go to these
type of affairs were there for
Bobby . . . disc jockeys, news-
paper columnists, feature writers,
song writers, entertainers—every-
body. . .and Bobby Laurel, as nice
a guy as you'll want to know, was
the reason . . . Because he's such
a real down-to-earth fellow, people
want to do things for him, and are
happy when they can . . . Bobby
has talent—a lot of it—as a singer,
pianist, songwriter and arranger,
and wraps them all into as neat a
ball of great entertainment as
you'll ever hear or see .. . He's
cleverly versatile! ... So much so
that Bobby's marvelous song styl-
ing and keyboard tickling are thor-
oughly enhanced continually by a
magnificent gift of improvising and
prior arranging . . . Bobby blends
these beautifully on each number
so that everything becomes a
standard part of his great style
. . . He has composed music and
written lyrics for more than 50
songs, five of which are on his
new MGM album . . . If you
haven't seen Bobby Laurel yet,
get over to the Apartment Lounge
. . . Here is indeed an entertainer
of exceedingly great talent.

five zany ambassadors of music

Their instrumental ability is
matched only by their very high
quality vocalizing . . Many acts
do big band impressions, but the
Fall Guys are one of the very few
real good ones .. . Each man can
play a wide range of musical in-
struments (they handle 24 among
themselves) and treat their audi-
ences with generous samples of
the "Big Band Sound" of nostalgic
memory . . . They also out-fifth
the Fifth Dimension and throw in
some hot Dixieland and rock 'n
