Information/Write-up

Terry Black a “Smash” on the Dick Clark Show.
“Canada may well take over as the next country to produce a successful new sound!” said Dick Clark at the ABC-TV Studios in Hollywood after listening to Terry Black, who had just literally “stopped the show” with his appearance on American Bandstand.

The Terry Black story is a teenager’s dream come true. During the fall of 1964, a Toronto record executive was in Vancouver discussing the record scene with Buddy Clyde, the M.C. of CHAN-TV’s Dance Party, and through the course of their conversations, Buddy mentioned that a young “regular” on Dance Party, Terry Black, was receiving fan mail by the carload from girl viewers. The record executive asked to meet Terry, and an exclusive record contract with ARC Records, Toronto, was immediately negotiated.

Terry’s first release Unless You Care became an immediate national hit, and as a direct result of the success of the first release, many other exciting things happened. Terry has been signed to a long-term Hollywood movie contract, and his personal appearances on live tour shows, both in Canada and the U.S., have been fantastically successful.

Here’s what Canada’s top hit pickers say about Terry:
“There is no doubt that Terry Black is the top male vocalist in Canada as a result of our poll” — WALT GREALIS, RPM MAGAZINE.

“I predict the year of 1965 will be the year of the (Terry) Black Plague.” — DAVE JOHNSON, CHUM RADIO, TORONTO.

“I have a feeling the International Music Scene will soon be Black, Black, Black—Terry, that is!” — DAVE BOXER, RADIO STATION CFCF, MONTREAL.

“Three cheers for Canada’s new superstar, Terry Black. I predict this talented young Canadian is going to pave the way for a whole bevy of Canadian artists to break into the International Music Scene.” — BOB GILLIES, RADIO STATION CKGM, MONTREAL.

“Terry Black has proved to the world that he has talent, enthusiasm, and singing style that will launch him above others in the competitive world of pop music.” — GENE McCORMICK, RADIO CHUB, NANAIMO, B.C.

“‘Unless You Care’ and ‘Say It Again’ by Terry Black both qualified as Wax to Watch on CHED radio. We did not pick Terry’s record just because he is a Canadian artist, but needless to say, we are quite happy that he is.” — KEITH JAMES, PROGRAMME DIRECTOR, RADIO CHED, EDMONTON.

“Terry Black is opening the avenue for other Canadian talent.” — "KEG" LEGGE, MUSIC DIRECTOR, CHEC, LETHBRIDGE.

“‘Say It Again’ ... ok. I will! Terry Black is the hottest young talent in the industry today, and with this great album Everyone Can Tell.” — TEX BAGSHAW, PRODUCTION & PROMOTION MANAGER, CKLY, LINDSAY.

“Canada is a land of great talent, and one has only to look to Terry Black for proof positive.” — TERRY PERKS, CHEX-TV, PETERBOROUGH.

“Our chart is starting to look Black.” — IAN BYERS, PROGRAMME DIRECTOR, CKCR RADIO, KITCHENER.

“Terry Black has a unique Terry Black sound. He is, in my opinion, the most promising new star on the Canadian music scene in many a moon. He possesses a voice and phrasing beyond his years—a good sense of music, and an adolescent appeal that is uncanny.” — ROGER STANION, CHOV RADIO & TV, PEMBROKE.

“Terry Black is that unique entity known in show business as a ‘star.’ This star quality shone through on his first recording Unless You Care. His unusual approach to a song was displayed on that first outing and the future looks very black ... very very Terry Black.” — RED ROBINSON, C-FUN, VANCOUVER.

“I personally feel that Terry Black is no flash in the pan artist, but in a world of music where there is a lot less talent than his, he should find a place for himself, not only in Canada, but also in other countries as well for a long time to come.” — RAY NICKEL, PROD. MANAGER, CFSL, WEYBURN.

“It is certainly a pleasure to see such a fine young Canadian artist getting recognition in his own country.” — JIM CASSIDY, CJET, SMITH FALLS.

“Terry Black, one of Canada’s finest marks in the music world. Here is young talent that is bound to please any ear and any age. It is a pleasure to be able to say on the air ‘Here’s real Canadian talent, Terry Black.’” — DOC STEEN, MUSIC DIRECTOR, CKRC, WINNIPEG.

“Terry Black is a fine example of young Canadian talent. This past year has seen Terry take a giant step towards stardom.” — JIMMY DARRIN, CKY, WINNIPEG.

“In the midst of the British onslaught Terry Black’s winning style consistently earns him top positions on Canadian music charts.” — GARRY TODD, CKY, WINNIPEG.

“Terry’s appearance on our CFTO-TV show simply knocked the kids out. I believe Terry Black will become an international star this year.” — BOB McADOREY, CHUM RADIO, TORONTO.

“Man, if Terry keeps going strong there’s going to be a lot of black things in my groove yard.” — BRIAN SKINNER, CHUM RADIO, TORONTO.

“Terry Black is my favorite form of T.B.” — BRUCE RUGGLES, CFCH, NORTH BAY.

“Terry Black’s records sure raise a storm on my Wing-Ding Show.” — GLENN WALTERS, CKEY, TORONTO.
