Lindsey K Williams - Pushing Music Digits Around the World

MEMPHIS TN (IFS) -- After you have spend your money cutting that "perfect" record; Now, what's your promotions budget? Most artist do not have one. There are so many CD's that are made, that die after the recording studio. There will be over 230 Million CD's released this year. The average artist pray that one of their songs can make the TOP 250,000 singles in the world. -AJ

WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- Our Sister stations at SDC RadioWorks Division has had an opportunity to work with Ms. Williams on several recording artists that appear on our Power Playlists. As Ms. Williams is an independent promotions person, we decided to explorer what a "HIT RECORD" cost these days.

SDC Digital Radio is our promotions arm and we work with the majority of the artists that are on the various labels below along with many indie recording companies worldwide. We also add these artists to our Digital Radio Distribution Systems for streaming and downloads at Amazon.com.

Ms. Williams specializes in "product placement" as we have experience with our diverse radio playlists and artists from all points on the globe. The price of promotions depends upon the product and your outcome -- mostly. What is your Final Gold? However, one can and should search around. The hardest area to promote a record in is Christian Music Radio.

First of all there are no great deals in record promotions. Generally, the starting price for one album/record/CD is approximately $399 - $899 for one month. There is an agreement for six (6) months of their services UP FRONT. Then -- that was back in the radio days of the 1990's.

Things have changed a lot. Depending on what you want your outcome to be; i.e., Distribution with a major, Independent Record Distribution, Sound tracks for movies, etc., and Music publishing to start. So let us start with just the basics of record promotions. - KHS

Independent Promoters and Radio Play - -
Ever since Clear Channel pledged to sever its connections with independent promoters, the world of music promotion has been exposed for all to view and judge.

What the public doesn't realize is that, according to some, much of the music we hear on prominent rock and Top 40 radio stations is played because independent promoters pay the stations to add it to their playlists.

Because it is illegal for record companies to directly pay radio stations to play their music -- or for radio stations to play music someone paying them to play, at least without disclosing on the air that the time is paid for -- they bring in a middleman, the independent promoter, or "indie." This is reportedly how it works: http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/top-403.htm

Jerry Collins

Lyricist Jerry Collins has recently been captivating audiences with his tight blend of rock, pop, country and worship and his compelling storytelling that covers a variety of themes. While Collins has continued to maintain momentum in recent months with a steady stream of solid song releases, his latest single, “Hold Your Hands Up”, rings with a level of excellence that’s even above his normal superior standards. This time around Collins has been assured of an added a dose of youthful production to keep the track feeling bright and energetic from front to back.

“Hold Your Hands Up” bursts out of the gate with a fresh intensity mirroring the lyricist’s passion for music and ministry. It would be fair to remember that Jerry Collins, is neither a singer nor a songwriter. In essence he is a lyricist who finds studio musicians, to sing, perform and complete his artistic visions and put them into song. On this occasion the formula has outdone itself as the song has been achieving a fair amount of critical success.

To be judged extremely positively are the ratings “Hold Your Hands Up”, has been receiving on Reverbnation’s ‘Crowd Reviews’. Crowd Reviews recently adjusted their scores for “Hold Your Hands Up”, allowing the track to earn the coveted Reverbnation Featured Artist spot with score-line of 7.9 for a 97% ranking.

This is what Reverbnation tastemakers had to say: “Generally, listener reaction to this song was positive. When asked to rate this song on a scale from 1 to 10, reviewers reported a 7.9 on average, which ranks this song in the 97th percentile of all songs analyzed by Crowd Review. Most listeners rated your song a 7, and did want to hear your song again after listening to it once. When reviewing “Hold Your Hands Up”, the most commonly selected words were “Lyrics, Good, Vocals, Music, and Christian”. According to a sentiment analysis of those written reviews, listener comments were generally neutral. “Hold Your Hands Up”reminded people of each, and made people feel “Thoughtful, Relaxed and Happy”. Based on the results of this study, this song is very well liked, and is likely ready for promotion to a wider audience.”

“Hold Your Hands Up” is easily the best addition to Jerry Collins’ discography thus far. Overall it is a great recording full of emotional, worshiping, and soul-filling lyrics. The track follows Collins’ style from previous releases – thanks also to the choice of singer and music production crew, which has remained the same for a couple of songs now, lending consistency and cohesiveness to Collins’ projects which are slowly being discovered by many. This time around the arrangement has a fresh, uplifting sound and theme that keeps people’s attention.

“Hold Your Hands Up” will not only attract legions of new Jerry Collins’ fans, but it is sure to attract many more accolades for Collins and the song’s performers as well. The lyrics really solidify the idea for listeners that the world around them may be crumbling and falling, but they can rejoice in the fact that they belong together in an everlasting Kingdom that will never fall if they continue to worship, as the song goes: ‘Touch the sky, reach for the heavens, raise your vibrations, feel the love of his energy flow through your fingertips…”

“Hold Your Hands Up” is being distributed by DistroKid worldwide including iTunes, Deezer, Soundcloud, and Spotify. Christian Hits EP1 is being distributed by CdBaby and contains a copy of Hold Your Hands Up and is available as a download or as a CD.

Hold Your Hands Up on MusicSubmit or Airplay Direct is in 320 broadcast ready radio quality mp3 format, so feel free to download rather than ask for a CD.

Clara Gordon Bow

Date of Birth	29 July 1905, Brooklyn, New York, USA
Date of Death	27 September 1965, West Los Angeles, California, USA (heart attack)
Birth Name	Clara Gordon Bow
Nickname	The "It" Girl
Height	5' 3½" (1.61 m)

Mini Bio (3)

Clara Gordon Bow, destined to become THE flapper of the 1920's, was born and raised in poverty in Brooklyn, New York, on July 29, 1905. Her family was also beset with violence. Her mother tried to slit Clara's throat when she attempted to enter the film industry. She won a photo beauty contest which launched her movie career that would eventually number 58 films, from 1922 to 1933. It was the movie It (1927), which was to define her career. The film starred Clara as a shop girl who was asked out by the store's owner. As you watch the silent film you can see the excitement as she prepared for her date with the boss, her girlfriend trying hard to assist her. She was trying to use a pair of scissors to modify her dress in order to look more "sexy". This movie did a lot to change society's mores as there was only a few years between World War I and Clara Bow, but this movie went a long way in how society looked at itself. Clara was flaming youth in rebellion. In the film she was presenting a worldly wisdom that somehow sex meant having a good time. But you shouldn't be misled by the film, because she was still close to Lillian Gish in that when her boss tries to kiss her goodnight, she slaps him. Yes, she, too, was a good girl and a first cousin of Trueheart Susie. At the height of her popularity she received over 45,000 fan letters a month. She, too, was probably the most overworked and underpaid star in the industry. With the coming of sound, which did lend itself to her thick Brooklyn accent, her popularity waned. Clara was also involved in several court battles ranging from unpaid taxes to being in divorce court for "stealing" women's husbands. After the court trials, she made a couple of attempts to get back in the public eye. One was Call Her Savage (1932) in 1932. It was somewhat of a failure at the box office and her last was in 1933 in a film called Hoopla (1933). She, then, married cowboy star, Rex Bell at the age of 26 and retired from the film world at the age of 28. She was a doting mother of her two sons and would do anything to please them. Haunted by a weight problem, and a mental imbalance, she never entered show business again. Clara was confined to a sanitarium from time to time and was not allowed access to her loving sons she adored very much. She died of a heart attack in West Los Angeles, on September 26, 1965. She was 60 years old. Today she is finding a renaissance among movie buffs, who are recently discovering the virtues of silent film. The actress who wanted so much to be like the wonderful young lady in It (1927) has the legacy of her films to confirm what a wonderful lady she really was. She, too, was America's first sex symbol.

- IMDb Mini Biography By: Denny Jackson

Later to become the personification of the flaming Roaring Twenties, Clara Bow was born and brought up in near poverty in Brooklyn, New York. She won a photo beauty contest which started a movie career of some 56 feature films. Best known as the uninhibited flapper, she reached the top as the "It Girl" in 1927. With the advent of sound and the Depression's disfavorable attitude towards Jazz-age extravagances, her popularity faded. Also. adding to her problems, were gambling debts, unpaid taxes and several sensational public court battles involving alienation of affections and embezzlement (by her secretary.) She then married cowboy star Rex Bell at age 26 and retired from the screen at age 28. Plagued by personal crises, a weight problem and mental instability, she never made another film. She died in 1965.

- IMDb Mini Biography By: Herman Seifer <alagain@aol.com>

Clara Bow was born in a run-down tenement in old Brooklyn, to a schizophrenic Mother and a chronically destitute, physically abusive father. As a child, she was a tomboy and played games in the streets with the boys; since her clothes were so ragged and dirty other girl children wouldn't play with her. Her best friend Johnny burned to death in her arms when she was 10 years old. Years later, she could make herself cry at will on a movie set by listening to the lullaby "Rock-A-Bye Baby". She claimed it reminded her of her small friend. She also told reporters simple, brutal, honest stories about her horrific childhood, which was a big no-no in her day. Mental illness in the family was considered more shameful than unmarried pregnancy. This made Clara a lot of enemies in Hollywood.

She entered "The Fame and Fortune Contest" as a teenager. Girls from all over the country competed, and the 1st Prize was a part in a movie. She showed up in her ragged clothes and the other girls smirked at her. The contest judges paid no attention to her until she did her screen test - and then they unanimously chose her over all the other girls. Clara lit up the screen like nothing they had ever seen. She got the part, but it was later cut from the movie. During this time her mother tried to kill her and was institutionalized, where she died shortly after.

She was taken to Hollywood by B.P. Schulberg, who used Clara sexually and financially. He worked her like a horse and paid her very little compared to other stars of the day. Even so, the talented Clara became a superstar, and the first ever Hollywood sex symbol. Clara could flirt with the camera just by looking into it with her big brown eyes and mischievous bow-tie grin. She exuded sex appeal from every pore in her little body and was not afraid to flaunt it. She personified "flaming youth in rebellion". Her characters were always working class gals; manicurists, showgirls and the like. Her movies did a lot to emancipate young Americans from the restrictive Victorian morals their parents had been raised with. Clara's characters were unashamed about being attracted to men and went after them with gusto. Her shop girl in It (1927) sees the bosses son one day, and says "Oh Santa, gimme him!" She knows exactly what to do to get him interested and then keeps him on his toes. Her characters cut their dresses up to look sexier, cut off their hair, drank and smoked in public, and danced all night long. At the height of her career, she received 45,000 fan letters a week, a record that has never been equaled. She was the idol of working girls and the dream of working class guys everywhere.

Even though the public adored Clara, Hollywood shunned her. Most of Hollywood's big names of the 1920s had come from poor backgrounds like Clara, but when they made it big they tended to develop upper class values and personas. They pretended their poor childhoods had never happened. Clara didn't. Clara never hid anything; that was her problem. It was later discovered by a biographer that Clara was actually schizophrenic, like her mother. One of the hallmark signs of schizophrenia is a total unconcern with social mores. Clara loved to tell really dirty jokes at parties when the conversation lulled, or make blatant remarks about the size of her (many) lovers to other, more prudish girls. She had very public affairs (her euphemism was "engagements") with a score of leading men and directors, including Victor Fleming, Gary Cooper, and Gilbert Roland. This behavior horrified her peers, and eventually she was driven out of Hollywood. Many nasty rumors about her sexuality floated around the movie colony, including the one about her taking on the entire USC Football Team one night, which was finally disproved by a biographer, David Stenn.

The coming of sound was like an earthquake to Hollywood. It shook up everything. Her fans probably wouldn't have minded her blue collar Brooklyn accent, since most of them were working class gals themselves, but Clara got herself so worked up with mike fright she had breakdowns during her first talkies. Before she could recover from this, she ended up in court with her private life splashed all over the papers, which didn't help matters one bit. Her secretary and best friend, Daisy De Voe, was caught embezzling from her. When Clara took Daisy to court, Daisy told the court and press uncensored details of Clara's sex life, along with lots of exaggeration, which the press automatically printed and believed. The scandal ruined Clara. She had another more serious breakdown and had to recover in a sanatorium. Soon after she retired for good, and moved to Nevada with her new husband, the cowboy actor Rex Bell. She raised two sons, all the while battling her mental illness, and died in obscurity in 1965.
