1979 HAS BEEN A BANNER YEARN
FOR MOTOWN'S CLASSIC ARTISTS!;
DIANA ROSS'
"The Boss." A hit single that went to the top of the disco charts and
took the album of the same name to the top ten everywhere!
SMOKEY ROBINSON'S
"Cruisin'," a single equally at home on R &B, POP and AOR outlets
has made Smokey's latest album, "Where There's Smoke.." his
biggest solo success ever!

STEVIE WONDER'S
"Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants." Stevie has done it
again! An album so innovative, Billboard magazine calls it
... the recording medium's "Citizen Kane."
1979 HAS BEEN A BANNER YEA 11

FOR MOTOWN'S ARTISTS OF '71Y
COMMODORES
In 1969 nobody knew the name. In 1979 Commodores stands for the
state of the art in POP /Rock /R &B musicianship! Their new album
"Midnight Magic" has already produced two number one singles,
"Sail On" and "Still," with an unprecidented third, "Wonderland,"
now heading for the top of the charts!
RICK JAMES
"Fire It Up," Rick's third album has shipped gold and is now
heading for platinum! Surprised? We're not. Rick's first two albums
each went well over platinum and are today strong catalogue
sellers!
SWITCH
Three years ago this band was a dream in the minds of its
members. In 1979, with their debut album "Switch" already
platinum, "Switch II" was released. This second effort shipped gold
and is heading straight for platinum with such hot singles as "Best
Beat In Town" and their current hit "I Call Your Name!"
BONNIE POINTER
Bonnie's solo debut was a masterpiece. Paced by the fabulou
update of "Heaven Must Have Sent You," Bonnie's first Ip was the
golden favorite of radio programmers coast to coast! Now her
second album (also called "Bonnie Pointer ") is striking gold with
"I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)," the single the
whole industry is talking about!

Motown is hot and getting hotter!
Enjoying total R &B domination and making massive inroads into POP and
AOR radio, Motown Records is about to embark upon the most exciting decade
ever.
Our established acts are more popular than ever!
Our recent acts are being accepted with unqualified enthusiasm (and sales)
everywhere!
Now, as we start our 20th year, we intend to further strengthen the position we
have carved over the last two decades.
New acts.
New ideas.
New music.
Energetic expansion into areas not normally considered "Motown" territory.
Plus an enthusiasm unmatched by any other label in the business.

Stevie Wonder and TDK.
Both bring great music
to millions.
There's nothing like music to bring people
together. Your TDK cassette customers care
about music. And Stevie Wonder makes the
kind of music they care about. With seven
gold albums and 22 gold singles, it makes
perfect sense to bring Stevie Wonder and
TDK together.
Beginning this fall, Stevie Wonder will
be singing the praises of TDK's full line of
quality cassettes. Exciting TV and radio
advertising will turn on your customers
across the country. A full schedule of TDK
magazine and newspaper ads will be read
by millions. And Stevie Wonder in -store
displays and posters will create the kind of
store traffic you've always dreamed about.
As our featured cassette this fall, TDK D
offers co -op and promotional opportunities
unprecedented in the history of premium
cassette merchandising. Tie -ín with TDK ad-
vertising and take advantage of special
promotions including TDK D in multi -
packs. Remember, with hardware sales
slowing down, tape has never been a more
important profit -center. And economical
TDK D has never been a more attract-
ive value. Your customers recognize TDK
quality, and the D cassette delivers it
consistently. Watch for Stevie Wonder
and TDK D this fall. Millions will.

Its time to honor some
of our national resources:
Aaron Copland
Ella fltzgerald
Henry Fonda
Martha Graham
Tennessee Williams
They've created music for us.They've sung. Acted. Danced.

And written masterpieces. And when they did, it moved us. Lifted
our spirits. And changed our lives.
Their lifelong contributions, through the performing arts,
enriched the quality of our lives and American culture.
For their life's work, each has received the coveted Kennedy
Center Honor. Now, you can witness the ceremony and celebration
as you join hundreds of their famous colleagues in paying tribute
to these five individuals.
It will be a gala evening of performances and remembrances
inside our national cultural center, The Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Don't miss any of it. Because stars like these don't come out
every night of the year.
The Kennedy Center Honors

A Celebration of the Performing Arts
Saturday, December 29, CBS-TV
