EVER since Tommy Sands made
his big TV splash, replete
with movie and TV offers galore,
we wondered whether the sudden
success might have gone to his
head We knew Tommy when
he was 12 and doing a local TV
show called “Lady of the Moun
tain’’ He was an appealing
youngster who could sing folk
songs the way they should be sung
and played the guitar well . . .
He idolized Eddy Arnold then and
we idolized him for his refresh
ing little-boy qualities ... It was
with much nostalgia that we re
joiced at his jet-like spurt in the
entertainment field.
Several weeks ago, romray
came back to Chicago, his home
town, to meet the press and pub
licize his first movie, “Sing, Boy,
Sing” Joy Layne, 16-year-old
Mercury Records artist, who Is
another refreshing sweet-natured
and completely natural person,
wanted to meet him . . and did
Had he changed? Not from
the report garnered from Joy who
was very impressed with the 20
year-old Tommy, just as we had
been with the 12-year-old.
He invited her to his press din
ner and they discussed their re
spective careers . . , He is down
to-earth, modest and very frank,
Joy said—and she should know, be
cause she’s the same way . . .
When he promised to call her up
and say goodbye to her she
thought he would surely forget In
the rush of activities planned for
his three-day visit . . . But bright
and early on Monday morning,
just before she left for school, he
was up and on the telephone.
It is extremely gi allying to find
such likeable youngsters getting a
good break and we hope they stay
on top for many, many years . . .
