able Sound" and I am not sure in which sense to take that statement. Quite honestly it's a sound that no one would want to touch.
The "new" sound that Black is supposed to have achieved is nothing but adaptation of the music that was heard-and is still heard In some States-at revivalist meetings.
Black utilises the piano and organ plus rhythm section and the various types of saxophones. Black himself plays bass and takes pride in the fact that the pundits call him "the most com- mercial bass player in the coun- try.
"He is also supposed to have a beat of his own.
If we are to lake this album
as a criterion of his talent, then all I can say is that I am bitterly disappointed. To say Black's bass work is montonous would be a gross understatement.
The album in general lacks colour and imagination. The tunes-all spirituals have been given "special" beat that will entice people to dance to this music. If you like dreary dance music, then this is your cup of tea.
On record are such well known tunes as "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," "When The Saints Go Marching In," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "Down By The Riverside" and others.
The Combo however have had their fair share of hit records since they first started recording for Hi. Currently on the American hit parade is their version of the Hoagy Carmichael tune "Ole Buttermilk; Sky." It's climbing fast.

The promotion of local talent is obviously developing into a
lucrative business as evidenced by recent record sales. Working on an idea and a deep rooted conviction that there was money in this wax and notes business. Diamond's Francis Silva went ahead and cut an LP by Chinese singer Kong Ling.
Miss Silva's intention was to make an album that would sppeal to a wide cross-section of the community, and as- tract the tourists at the same time. Consequently the record was made in English and Chinese-something that hitherto had not been attempted here. “It won't sell” said the pundits.
Now they have all been proved wrong—and most conclusively.
A few days ago Miss Silva handed Kong Ling a four. *. figure cheque in royalties.
It was an important event. It shows that Hongkong's record
industry is moving in the right direction.
