...JOHNNY WINTER (Columbia). According to reports in the trade, Columbia has guaranteed $600,000 over the next five years to this unknown, cross-eyed, albino blues singer from East Texas. Judging by his first album for the company, it may have been a pretty good deal. Johnny's raspy. throaty, wailing voice is perfectly suited to traditional blues, while his lightning-fast finger work, on both electric and acoustic "bottleneck" guitar, can only be compared to the style of such legendary black musicians as Robert Johnson and T-Bone Walker...
REPORTER Andrea Svedberg spent a long month last winter visiting Manhattan's high-fashion houses, selecting the minimal clothes to be shown in this week's color spread on the new nude look. But while finding the right garments turned out to be a time-consuming procedure, there was no difficulty in choosing the setting for the photographs.

For this we thank them, although somehow the point of a Movie Worsts issue tends to get lost when we find ourselves passively agreeing with it. The highlight of the ensuing presentation is the "Great Ceremonial Hotdog" award...
