LIONEL RICHIE Album of the year

Richie, Lauper earn top honors, too Tina Turner, Prince give Grammys new 'di-rection'

By RICHARD DE ATLEY Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) - High-voltage soul singer Tina Turner won three Grammys to cap a smash comeback, gyrating rocker Prince danced off with three awards and a surprised Lionel Richie took album-of-the-year honors at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards. Cyndi Lauper, the unruly rocker with carrot-colored hair and thrift shop clothes, was named best new artist of the year Tuesday by members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Miss Turner, who first gained fame more than two decades ago as the shimmyshaking partner of ex-husband Ike, won record of the year for her gutsy “What’s Love Got To Do With It.” The song also captured best female pop vocal, while best female rock vocal went to “Better Be Good to Me,” all from her smash “Private Dancer” album. “This is the biggest single moment of my career right now,” Miss Turner, 43, said backstage after winning record of the year. Her last Grammy was with Ike in 1971 for their version of “Proud Mary,” and her first hit record was in 1960. “What’s Love Got to Do With It” also won song of the year for writers Graham Lyle and Terry Britten, who Miss Turner

CYNDI LAUPER Best new artist

said had to make changes before she agreed to record it. “It wasn’t my type of song,” she said. “I didn’t like it. It was a bit odd ... but that’s what hit records are about.” Veteran songwriter and singer Richie’s “Can’t Slow Down,” a slick melange of pop ballads and easy dance tunes, was named album of the year at the more than threehour show televised live from the Shrine Auditorium to an estimated audience of 140 million worldwide. As a member of the Commodores and an individual performer, Richie had been nominated for a Grammy 28 times since 1977, but has only won three. “Every year it’s always been ‘I wonder why, I wonder why,”’ a delighted Richie said. “And in this case, I don’t want to wonder why anymore. I just want to enjoy it.” Richie, 34, and collaborator James Anthony Carmichael also shared the producer of the year award with David Foster, who had snared the most nominations with six. Foster also won the instrumental arrangement Grammy for his “Hard Habit to Break” by Chicago. Prince, star of the hit movie “Purple Rain,” won or shared three awards. He and his band, the Revolution, won best rock performance by a group with vocal

TINATURNER Takes three Grammys

for the “Purple Rain” soundtrack, and best album of original score written for a motion picture or TV special. The album sold 9 million copies. The 26-year-old Minneapolis rocker also won for writing the best rhythm and blues song, “I Feel For You.” The song was recorded by Chaka Khan, who was named best female rhythm and blues artist. His performance of “Baby I’m a Star” in the show’s closing minutes had the audience on its feet. Boy George and others from the crowd joined him on stage, dancing and singing. Blue-collar rocker Bruce Springsteen, 35, who had never won a Grammy despite his decade-long leadership in American rock music, won his first award as best rock male vocalist for his sensuous “Dancing in the Dark.” Miss Lauper had been nominated for five awards. The 31-year-old new wave Betty Boop, who attended the ceremonies with gargantuan wrestler Hulk Hogan, said backstage: “The Grammy means a lot to me because I never thought I would amount to anything. I always wanted to make art.” Michael Jackson didn’t make this year’s show, but his “Making Michael Jackson’s Thriller” won best video album, bringing his Grammy career total to 10.

Excessive TV viewing harmful to kids, can lead to teen pregnancy, study says

ELK GROVE, 111. (AP) A task force of the American Academy of Pediatrics has concluded that excessive television viewing by children may be harmful, and recommends that parents complain to network officials and politicians about the quality of programming. The report, released recently, of the five-member panel said that American children aged 2 to 12 watch an average of 25 hours of television each week. Excessive viewing could lead to violent behavior, poor school performance and contribute to teenage pregnancy, it said. “Most grade school children spend more hours watching television than they spend in the classroom,” said Dr. H. James Holroyd, a task force member. “That’s not a statistic that most people are aware of that shocks most people when they hear it.” “We feel that television does a lot of good and television has the potential for a significant positive influence on children, adolescents and families,” the La Canada, Calif., physician said recently. “But in spite of that, there are a number of areas of negative impact.” The task force members, all pediatricians, characterized television watching as a passive occupation that reduces the time spent reading and using other active learning skills.

They said adolescents on television are portrayed in a constant state of sexual crisis. Sexual relationships develop rapidly and the risk of pregnancy is rarely considered a factor that may contribute to teen-age pregnancies, according to the task force. Repeated exposure to televised violence makes children violenceprone, the task force found. They also said television gives an unrealistic view of problem solving and conflict resolution. The medium was faulted for perpetuating racial and ethnic sterotypes and doing little to promote a sympathetic understanding of the handicapped and their problems. And television promotes obesity in children by encouraging them to eat high-calorie junk foods, the doctors said. George Schweitzer, vice president of communications for CBS, said he had not seen the report, but noted, “I’d say it’s not new that the popular media of the time is the focus of many of society’s problems.” NBC spokeswoman Helen Manasian said network officials hadn’t studied the report, but she cited a 500-page study by NBC in 1983 that found no evidence of a link between television violence and aggressive behavior in children and adolescents.
