presentations of the George '
Hamilton IV showy performing
all types of Music. Singles she has
recorded are "Same Old. Song",
"Moods . of -My Mari", "Country
Soul" and a song penned, by
herself and Arlene Gordon called
"Applesauce", which hit the top
20 lists in the -United States.
At first glance the blonde
singer could be taken for Anne
Murray. She says, ".I'm mistaken
for , her almost every day by
somebody." Mists Jones, "how,
ever, has11411:'bvim °styfe, and. like
the:test es>; of the regulars on the
show, combines warmth, feeling
and talent to come up with a
unique presence all her own.
She does not have great desires
to work in the United States be-
cause, "There is more happening
here right' now, as far as I'm
concerned.;'
How does George Hamilton
view his own performances and
over-all- makeup 'as a singer?
"I'm under no illusions about
being any great singer or per-
former, or anything. I realize
that I have a modest amount of
talent and ability aild that's it. 'I
really enjoy country music. I'm a
country singer,. basically, and I
don't pretend to be anything but
that. I think of myself as an. . en-
tertainer and communicator and,
as far as recording, as an inter-
preter."
Mr. Hamilton, although an
American performer, ' has be-
come more involved in the Cana-
dian music ' scene and, overall,
prefers it to the Nashville sound.
"The songs I like are the kind I
can understand and identify witlp.
That is why I like many of the
songs coming out of the Canadlai
folk -country music field; Artists
such as the Mercey '.Brothers,
Gordon L:i tfoat'�andtland y son
have.perfected a of
p ktndr. mu*,
,that is country but not cornys
country. It's understandable and!'
easy to identify with. 1 think,
`Lightfoot's songs have epito-,
mined the Canadian country -folk,;
music and that's one of the rea-,
sons I spendquite a bit of time in
Canada."
Aside from taping four shows a
week for CHCH he does a show in
North Carolina, plus live perfor- •
mances on weekends and Euro-
pean
tours.
We can only hope the George
Hamilton IV Show will be tele-
vised nationally in the near
future. The show, like its featured
host, i is modest, easy going and
full of talent.
• a
It is produced by Manny
Pitson, directed by Trevor Ross
and floor directgr is Tom Knight.
"I just hope people enjoy it and
that it' brings a little entertain-
ment into their living rooms.We
tried purposely not to make it an
overpowering, loud, brassy,
showy sort of program. I think
there is engtigh overproduction
and big de lisms on television:
It's just.a soft -sell type of show. II
hope folks enjoy • it because
everybody in the show and
w rking t the show does.
