Empire Strikes Back

He chose

the place of

his death

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
It's not often someone gets to
change the place of his death,
but that's what Jeffrey Sag-
ansky did when the writers
of NBC's St. Elsewhere ser-
ies paid him a fond fafewell.

Sagansky, who resigned
earlier this year as NBC
senior vice-president to take
a job with Tri-Star Pictures,
discovered the item when he
read the script, said the
show's producer-writer Tom
Fontana.

His only objection was that
he didn't want to die in a
movie theatre, as the script
was originally written, Fon-
tana said. “He called and
said, ‘This is the last note

ever I'm going to give you or
the show: Could you make it
a screening room? ”

The incident occurred in
the Feb. 27 episode when Dr.
Philip Chandler, played by
Denzel Washington, read
from a list of deceased pa-
tients:

“Sagansky, Jeffrey, 32-
year-old executive, white
male. Cause of death: intra-
cerebral hemorrhage; collap-
sed in a screening room be-
tween 8 and 10 on a Friday
night.”

While most of the viewing
audience missed the in-joke,
Sagansky said he received
numerous calls about it. “A
lot of people take that show
very seriously,” he said.

FBI found tape

The FBI has recovered an
unreleased Beatles tape pos
sibly worth millions of dol
lars, authorities said. Michael
Keith Reibel, 30, of Boca
Raton, faces a charge of
interstate transportation of
stolen property, FBI spokes-
man Joe Del Campo said
Tuesday.

Reibel is a former employ
ee of Studio Systems Ine. of
Jersey City, N.J., Del Campo
said. FBI agents believe the
tape, containing conversa-
tions and never-released mu-
sie by the British band, was
stolen from the company
vault sometime between Feb.
12 and Feb. 15.

Prince a

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — He was named after his
father’s jazz group. His mom called him Skipper, while
members of his band know him as The Kid. He's short,
but a good basketball player. And his favorite eplor is
purple.

That's most of what's known about Prince, the
Minneapolis-born rock superstar who has kept his private
life a secret while rocketing to fame as a top-selling, flam-
boyant musician known for his sexually explicit lyrics.

Born Prince Roger Nelson, the 26-year-old singer
stopped giving interviews about two years ago. Friends
and family are reluctant to discuss the reclusive star, who
lives in a purple ranch-style house in suburban Chan-
hassen.

Despite the secrecy, Prince and his band, the
Revolution, have become one of the hottest acts on the
rock circuit. -

His movie debut, Purple Rain, was an instant smash
last summer, the sound-track album was the biggest-sell-
ing record of 1984 with about 12 million in sales
worldwide, and his current concert tour has sold out
virtually every stop.

Prince's first album, For You, with Prince playing all
the instruments, was released in 1978 when he was 20.
Subsequent albums — Dirty Mind, Controversy and 1999
— won critical acclaim.

spoke of a troubled childhood and parents who fought and

At high school in Minneapolis, Prince was an
excellent musician who could play any instrument, said
his former music teacher, jazz pianist Jim Hamilton.

Despite being only five-foot-two, Prince was an
outstanding basketball player, coach Richard Robinson

Rock 'n roll musical

NEW YORK (AP) — In the early 1960s, when pop music
meant girl groups like the Shangri-Las, the Ronettes, the
Crystals and the Dixie Cups, Ellie Greenwich was the queen
of rock ‘n’ roll.

But, except for people in the music business, few record
buyers knew who she was. That may change with Leader of
Pack, a new Broadway musical based on the life of the
woman who co-wrote such vintage vinyl classics as Chapel of
Love, Do Wah Diddy, Hanky Panky, Be My Baby and Da
Doo Ron Ron.

It’s a chance for a whole new generation to see the
44-year-old songwriting superstar who appears in the show
as herself. Dinah Manoff plays the young Ellie Greenwich.

Recently, Greenwich sat in a Howard Johnson's across
Broadway from the Brill Building, that mecca of music
publishers where she got her start nearly 25 years ago,

It’s around the corner from the Amb: dor Theatre,

“There was a tremendous amount of spontaneity back
then,” she recalls. “Everything was much simpler, much
smaller. The music business was just starting to grow

“Songwriters wanted an outlet for their material. So
they would just work out distribution deals and open up
their own labels.

“When you actually went to meet with the head of a
label, you were talking to a music person, not an accountant
or a businessman. If they liked what they heard, they'd say,
‘Go ahead and do it.’ "

Greenwich wrote with other songwriters and with
Barry whom she married in 1962. They began a three year
attempt to juggle marriage and career.

“When you write songs, you haye to make demonstra
tion records. You make these records and they say, “We

need to hear more harmony.’ So you begin doing

where her life story is now being played out, using her old
songs and some new materials she has written, as well.

“It's weird, isn't it?” she asks. “It's like a fairy tale. A
little girl from Levittown, Long Island, does well.”

Her childhood was boringly normal — dance lessons,
accordian lessons, trying to be a good student at Levittown
Memorial High School where her sorority voted Greenwich
its “most beloved sister.”

“I grew up on the corner of Starlight and Springtime
Lane. That says something, doesn't it,” she laughs.

What consumed her was music.

LISTENS TO LADS

As a child, she listened to singers like Teresa Brewer,
the Four Lads and Johnny Ray.

Rock 'n' roll changed that.

“I lost my mind. I said: ‘What is this Earth Angel by the
Penguins?’ " she says. “I had to write these songs.”

At first, Greenwich wrote little love songs and former
her own all-girl group — the Jivettes — to perform her
original material at benefits.

She met Jeff Barry, a struggling songwriter, at a family
Thanksgiving dinner, and they began dating.

DOES BACKGROUND
That led to a career as a background singer, doing the
shoo-bops and the wah-wahs for people like Connie Francis
and Lesley Gore.

One demo record by Barry and Greenwich for a song
called What A Guy, turned out so well it was released as a
single, and they became known as the Raindrops

Suddenly, they were record producers, too

The Barrys, writing both music and lyrics, turned out
hit after hit in 1962, 1963 and 1964 including Then He Kissed
Me, Maybe I Know, People Say and their biggest hit Leader
of the Pack.

“When it’s working, there's nothing better. What more
could you ask for? You're in love. You're writing hit songs.
You're making good money. It was perfect.”

The marriage ended in 1965 but the couple continued to
write, even turning out one more smash, Hanky Panky, after
they were divorced.

However, the British invasion changed pop music as the
new stars played their own instruments and wrote their own
material.

February dry and cool

By CasNews Staff

February was “fairly dry”
and “quite cool” as a ridge of
high pressure remained to
the west for most of the
month, according to a month
ly weather summary from
the Castlegar Airport wea
ther office.

Occasional troughs ap-
proaching the coast were

eroded by this ridge, result-
ing in light precipitation east
of the coast range.

With a northwesterly flow
at the higher elevations, the
air over the Kootenays was
much cooler than average.
Average temperatures was

The announcement was

The program will “address

A new navigational aid re-
