VALLEY V-109
THINK I’M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU 72
Cute country ditty, gets a right smart
performance by Darrell Glenn here. Lyrics have novelty appeal and may stir some
action.
ONLY A PASTIME 65
A sad story is unfolded by this ditty, as Darrell
Glenn warbles a tale of unrequited love. Not much impact.

IN THE CHAPEL IN THE MOONLIGHT 77
Glenn warbles the ballad handily, but competition
is probably too tough to allow this one much chance to break thru. Will get
plays, tho, and attract some coin.
ONCE AND ONLY ONCE 71
A chorus and organ belts support to Glenn in this
religious opus. He sings it sincerely and the effort should win some
recognition. Song has pop potential.

NO TEARS, NO REGRETS 74
Darrell Glenn really puts a wealth of heart into
his reading of this pretty waltz. It will appeal to a large audience.
BYE BYE YOUNG GIRLS 72
Here’s a rhythmic item, with the ork beating out
a fine accompaniment to the warbler’s plaint. He’s going home to be with mama,
because the young gals make him lose his mind. Should get some action.
DARRELL GLENN
RCA VICTOR 20/47-6107
RUN LITTLE ECHO 69
Nothing too unusual in this country echo tune,
which is of course a waltz.
BANJO MAMBO 68
This hybrid, with much more vocal than banjo, and
very little mambo, might have trouble finding its market.

MAKE ME SMILE AGAIN 73
Darrell Glenn, who had the big hit “Cryin’ In The
Chapel” a few years ago, handles this big ballad with feeling over good ork
support. Side deserves exposure.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ME 70
On this side the warbler turns to rock and roll
and turns in a creditable reading of the medium tempo item
