Dear Chuck:
I can't remember when we became friends but I do know I enjoy your friendship as you are one of the few true gentlemen in the Music Business that I can always depend on being on the up and up. I love discussing what is going on in the business as your put "what's the word on the street Ed". You are so informed on the latest news you tip sheet has been so helpful in getting material to my artists. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and the Parade of Stars. I'm looking forward to the years to come. Take care my friend.
Ed Russell, CEO & President
Castle Records | | | Hi Chuck,
...Thanks to info from Parade of Stars, I got a song pitched to Alan Jackson a couple of days ago. I was surprised that I didn't get the third degree when I called their office. I did use the tip of mentioning that I was with a publishing company...

His sont "Far-Side Banks of Jordan" was featured in the movie The Apostle and included on three Grammy-winning recordings.) | | | Chuck... I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and the Parade of Stars. You've helped me so much through the years and I'll always be grateful for that. You've created opportunity for me and other producers, and plenty of songwriters as well. They don't come much better than you Chuck, in Nashville or anywhere else. Looking forward to the years ahead. Take care...

He is also the son of DJ Hall of Fame member, "Texas Bill" Strength, and with his brother Bob, has produced major convention shows for Coca-Cola and IBM, among others.) | | | Whenever I am looking for top quality songs for artists I am producing, I make sure that I get a listing in Chuck Chellman's 'Parade of Stars.' Chuck's listings always get the attention of the right people because of his many successful years in the music business. In my opinion, it is the best way for record producers to find good songs and for songwriters and publishers to get their songs accepted for recording.
Gary R.Buck
President, Broadland International Records | | | I have been writing for 40 years. Was once a staff writer in New York. Dropped it for awhile, now back into it with a fury. In the last seven months, I’ve signed contracts with five different labels.. eight of them, as a direct result of your “tip” sheet. (14 songs we’re talking about here). That your service works, is a no-brainer. It works so well, I’m getting writer's cramp — signing contracts. Your service is honest, tells it like it is, and is a REAL resource when it comes to “Country” and “Gospel.” We should erect an icon in your likeness and genuflect hourly. I’ve never seen it done so well!
Best wishes,
Dixon DeVore II | | | I have enjoyed the friendship of a true gentleman in the Country Music Business for many years, Chuck Chellman. Down through the years we have spent many pleasant days discussing what is going on in the music world, and I have found him to be a well informed scholar. Through his tip sheet, he keeps me and other executives, writers and publishers on who is looking for songs for their artists to record. It is a very valuable tool in my office.
