RARE ROBERT WINTERS 45 Somethin' Special (1978 CHEERLEADERS DISCO DANCE) UCA
This 1978 single, "Come Alive" by Peter Derge/"Somethin' Special" by Robert Winters, both with backing by the Raw Rah Band, on UCA Music 2133F, was made by the Universal Cheerleaders Association, which was founded in Memphis in 1974 to sponsor cheerleading camps and competitions. This was a 45 with a disco beat the cheerleaders could dance to. Derge sings "Everyone here today is a part of the UCA, so let's dance and come alive." Winters sings in a falsetto throughout "Somethin' Special." Peter Derge wrote both sides and had a career writing for childrens' television, while producer Michael Olmstead once did halftime shows for the San Francisco 49ers. Winters, who later hit the charts with "Magic Man," sang the Star Spangled Banner at a 49ers game and did all the voices on a Derge/Olmstead childrens' album, "Gogo the Blue Gorilla."
Side 1 by Derge is VG to VG+ with a light scratch, Side 2 by Winters is VG+. The name Sheila Rowland is written on the Side 1 label (Rowland was cheerleader from Kansas.)

See grading codes below.
GRADING:
LPs, 45s, and EPs are graded M (mint), NM (near mint), VG+, VG (very good), VG-, G+, G (good), G-, F (fair), and P (poor).
A NM record will show no more than slight handling wear. A VG+ record may have some visible scuffs and light scratches and plays well with little surface noise. Some scratches on records graded VG and VG- may be deep enough to feel with your fingernail, or there may be scratches or groove wear throughout that cause surface noise, but the record still plays well. On records in the G+, G and G- range the level of the music is still above the surface noise caused by scuffs, scratches and groove wear. Surface noise may be as loud as the music on records graded F and louder than the music on P records. P records are likely to be unplayable.
Picture sleeves and EP jackets graded VG+ have only slight wear; jackets graded VG are more worn but still intact unless defects are noted. G jackets show definite damage and F and P jackets are probably falling apart. Splits, markings, cut corners and other defects will be noted.
+ and - denote in-between grades.
