letra de an important message from barney ales (play immediately) - barney ales

hi, i just got back from a business trip from europe, and as you can imagine, my desk is piled high with important items, to be taken care of
however, something so important has come up, that i stopped everything, in order to personally discuss the situation with you
and instead of a phone call, i thought i’d cut my first record
there’ll be no 200 on a thousand or no guarantee whatsoever
the important subject i’m talking about, is diana ross’ first single release, “reach out and touch somebody’s hand”
we have a number one record with diana, facts say so
we’re already over six hundred thousand records, the re-order pattern is healthy, the airplay is strong
everything about the record is positive and gives off good vibrations. everything that is except one area, chart positions with the trade papers, billboard, cashbox and record world.
once again, “reach out and touch somebody’s hand” is a number one record
in talking with the people, who make up the charts, they say they’re “aware of its potential”, but they’re not getting equally strong reports from the field
the problem is, that you’re all taking the record for granted
we’ve guaranteed this record to you, and we also know you’re all pros, otherwise you wouldn’t be our distributers
so i don’t believe i have to tell you, there’s more at stake than a hit record. we’re talking about establishing an artist with such stature, that sales on future singles and albums will surp-ss, even the fantastic records, set by diana and the supremes, in the past. in fact, her new album, featuring, “reach out”, is already set for release
i think you get the message, anyway, i hope you do. that i’m concerned and want action
i want you to get with your sales manager, your salesman, and your record promotion manager. immediately develop a program to make sure, the trades get strong reports on “reach out and touch somebody’s hand”
then make sure that someone from your organization, gets to gordon prince before the week is out, with a report of what your staff did, to ensure the number one position of this record
we’re not going to let up on you, until diane’s record is number one on all the trade charts
i also would like to take this time, to thank you, for all our number one records in the past
this comes from all the motown staff
when i see you later this year, i also would like to be able to reach out, and shake your hand, to thank you, for making “reach out and touch somebody’s hand”, number one
