Merci Delphine
At the end of 1978
began an unprecedented sucess story.
Overnight in Germany, Austria
and Switzerland, Richard Clayderman
became the Top -number-one star
on the piano.
What triggered the beginning
of this fantastic career was a song in a
-
detective series ȧallad for AdeIine.
This soothing melody was
heard by millions.
Skillfully Richard Clayderman,
followed up this gigantic success with his
album »Träumereien« which has now
been on the German charts for
the last 75 weeks.
Throughout German speaking countries,
his golden melodies have brought
him 10 golden records. Our thanks to
Paul de Senneville, Olivier Toussaint,

piano showcase. The two writers auditioned many
musicians but the choice eventually fell on Richard
Clayderman.
Recalls Toussaint: "Remember this was the time of
the disco music build -up. Romantic music seemed to
be on the way out. People said we were crazy
going along with a pianist, but we went ahead
anyway We sold very slowly first in France, then
Germany. We knew it had to be a slow process. We
had to go to each area and lay on promotions and
make tv appearances, and it took well over a year.
"But slowly it did work. Teldec, our licensee in
Germany, asked us to produce a special album,
using standard titles, but including 'Ballade Pour
Adeline.' This came out at the start of 1979. K -tel
released in Germany, expected sales of 250,000,
but got more than half a million. Then it reverted to
Teldec and today this album has sold more than 1.5
million units in Germany alone."
To the surprise of Toussaint and de Senneville,
other Delphine licensees decided to go with the
song and the record. Spain built a tv promotion
around it, then Argentina, Holland, Belgium,
Scandinavia, Japan and South Africa.
Says Toussaint: "Now it was 1979 and the song
and Clayderman were international. It had taken
around two years, but we were more
knowledgeable than we'd been when launching
Jean -Claude Borelly. It was good for 'Ballad Pour
Adeline' that it wasn't a huge hit right away around
the world, for a slow build -up gave us the chance
to go to each country."
The Delphine team was in Japan in February this
year with Clayderman for radio and tv, ready for
concerts there mid -summer. And in Germany,
where his original outside -France launch started,
there's a month -long Teldec promotion on his new
album "The Music Of Love."
Says Toussaint: "Clayderman has sold around
nine million albums in 18 months and his
international reputation as a concert performer is
established. He's 26 years old, started getting
success when he was 25. Borelly is 26, too, but had
initial success when he was 22. He wasn't really
ready then, nor were we. Now he's ready, so are
we. We've taken him to Germany, to South
America, and we build shows around him and his
own band. He's a stage entertainer now, not just a
record seller."

"What it adds up to," observes Paul de Senneville.
"isalthough our company is firmly based in the
record business, our re- investment in a range of
small businesses, even racehorses, affords us
financial protection from the fluctuations of the
ROLF BUDDE MUSIKVERLAGE record industry.
"But like all companies we have to face up to the
inside the record industry. Fewer records
are being sold. All the way through, we've felt that
as a small company our one big chance lay in
exporting our music. By instinct, without deliberat
planning, we've produced instrumental material
which can be exported."
Paul de Senneville concentrates mainly on the
French domestic scene. He'd been for eight years
managing director of Disc'AZ, finally retiring to go
full time with Delphine, but the relationship with
AZ as distribution company remains strong.
Supported by a highly efficient international
division headed by Marion de Froment, Toussaint
spends four or five months each year overseas,
working with licensees, injecting them with the
necessary dynamism, instilling confidence in
Delphine talent and product. He learned Spanish in
three sharp months because of the growing links
with South American territories. In the U.K.,
through Sonet, in Canada, in Australia and New
Zealand, Delphine product has been accepted and
proved eminently saleable. In Japan Delphine is
enjoying particular success. But there's one blac
spot, the U.S.

 "The American companies can see from the
international charts in Billboard what Clayderman is
doing. They have their own problems in their own
companies, because they keep on doing the same
kind of music. You'd maybe think they might invest
in something new and different. We felt maybe it

comprising around 100 titles.
And at Phonogram, which has
recently bought up independent dis-

De La Salle is heading the oper-

According to De La Salle, the real

well behind the U.S. and U.K."
While RCA's catalog comprises
mainly films, documentaries-in -

recent visit to France-and educa-
tional programs, Dacia says the
company is shortly to release a cas-
sette of Sylvie Vartan, "Live At The
Palais des Congres."
Both executives agree that the
French market will not really get off
the ground until both hardware and
software prices drop -and the latter
requires rapid industrialization of
manufacturing and copying. Both
certainly concur that a reduction of
the current 331/2% Value Added Tax
would be a major contribution to the
development of the video market.
On average in France, video-
cassette player- recorders cost $1,500,
with the cassettes working out at
around $80.
Cassette rental schemes are ex-
pected to stimulate the market even-
tually, but here also there are royalty
problems. However, in an attempt to
control collection, the Societe des
Auteurs, Compositeurs & Editeurs
de Musique, copyright society
SACEM, has recently granted rental
permits to a first group of French
retailers.
Dacia says that with the videodisk

Blank audio cassette sales are getting to be very predictable. Every year, regardless of
economic trends, it's the same old thing. Another record-breaking year.
One thing is changing though. Consumers are shifting from "cheapie" cassettes to

sales of over $350 million.
As you might imagine, 1979 was also a good ear for Maxell. Even in a soft economy, y,

acts.
"If you have an artist who writes,
it helps," comments Charley Monk,
head of the April /Blackwood Nash-
ville operation. Still, he feels the pro-
ducer who naturally has more to
gain by cutting his own songs creates
a "major problem" for other pub-
lishers. "It makes us have to hustle
harder in presenting songs."
It also puts a pressure on the pub-
lishers-a fact that the publishers
don't begrudge: "We're never going
to get a second appointment if we
don't have good songs," says Monk.
Monk, and several of his Nash-
ville publishing colleagues, believe
the producer /publishers will re-
spond to the bottom line: "If they're
a good producer -and in Nashville
most of them are -and if they hear
the song and like it, they know it'll
have a great impact on their artist's
career, which, in turn, will sell more
records and result in more chart suc-
cess."
Tim Wipperman, who directs the
Warner Bros. Music firm in Nash-
ville, agrees that the producer /pub-
lisher situation forces independent
publishers to come up with better
material than the producers.
But, unlike many other publish-
ers, Wipperman doesn't want to get
into the production syndrome.
"When I'm pitching songs to pro-
ducers, I don't want them to think
they're getting second -hand songs."
He also notes that producing is time -
consuming and that, as a publisher,
"I can only do one thing well."
And, though some publishers
point to the producer/publisher sit-
uation in such off-the-record terms

dered.
New artists can emerge from the
gospel realm if the audience is nur-
tured properly and not forced into a
demographic mold, stated Bogart.
That audience is huge, he continued.
"Rarely do record companies find
such a tailor -made public for their
product -and it's a public that's

join them. It's a marketing man's
dream."

leaders must decide whether they're
marketing music or salvation, he
stated. J
"If it's just evangelism set to mu-
sic, then your audience will be spe-
cialized. But if the focus remains on
music, the possibilities are infinite."
Bogart pointed to Bob Dylan as the
most striking example to come out of
the current gospel music scene.
The Boardwalk head cautioned
against pushing gospel music too
flagrantly: "Audiences resent being
told what a record is; they want to
discover what it is." That action
would create a backlash similar to
that which hurt disco when its
strongest proponents "in their zeal to
turn on others to the music, wound
up turning people off."
Concluded Bogart: "I welcome
the attitude of hope that the growth
of gospel music can bring us."
The keynote kicked off the confer-
ence that brought together national
leaders of the gospel and secular
music fields Tuesday through Fri-
day (23 -26). Eight panel discussions
brought together the sectors of retail,
radio, television, artists, labels, pro-
ducers, booking agents, publishers
and ad agencies.
While Bogart's speech dealt with
the generalities of gospel music, Don
Butler, executive director of the
Gospel Music Assn., had some spe-
cifics on the impact of the music.
Speaking at a Wednesday (24)
luncheon, Butler claimed that gospel
labels gross $ I00 million annually in
the sale of records and tapes, while
printed music hits some $75 million,
gospel radio earned $40 million in
revenue, and personal appearances
and concerts generate $50 million
