...TEMPTATIONS: WISH IT WOULD RAIN (Gordy). The five boys from Motown display a studied sophistication that might be called "hybrid Soul." They are backed up by an outfit that sounds like a cross between the Vienna Philharmonic, Herb Alpert and an electrified Gene Autry. The occasional catch in the throat and sad hoot do not a soul sound make, but the music is entirely inoffensive. Besides, the cover photograph depicting The Temptations as utterly defeated Foreign Legionnaires has to be the funniest of the year...
...delighted to turn back to more familiar artistic tools and go to work on the cartoons that illustrate the story. Unlike Scarfe, Associate Editor Ray Kennedy, who wrote the cover story, figured he was all too familiar with TV commercials. One set glows constantly in his office; three others sound off steadily in his Manhattan apartment, to the delight of his six children. What Kennedy and Senior Editor Jesse Birnbaum wanted was an expert appraisal of what spots should be concentrated on. That appraisal was supplied by Reporter Peter Borrelli and Researcher Sandra Burton after endless hours spent scanning reel...
...players are charging," says Mickey Stanley. "Every day, it is somebody else who gets the job done. That may sound like 'High School Harry,' but that's the case."

He publishes a magazine (The Bass Sound Post) and organizes annual conferences for the 1,000-member International Institute for the String Bass, which he founded and heads. He champions improvements in bass design: his own custom-made instrument has, among other features, a special thick-bellied shape for resonance and carrying power and an unusually close spacing between the strings and fingerboard for easier fingering...
...minute work scarcely explored the lyrical side of the bass, it did give Karr plenty of opportunity to display an awesome technique. Bowing and plucking in quick succession, deftly grabbing knotty clusters of double-stops, he skittered from basso groans up to ghostly coloratura harmonics, shading effortlessly from the sound of a human voice to that of a bee buzzing in a bottle...
