The hardest working man in show business toured relentlessly in the fifties sixties seventies and eighties. He earned names like The Godfather of Soul and Mr. Dynamite and he’s forever celebrated as one of the top performers of this era! This original cardboard poster dates back to the very EARLY days of his career in 1958 with his first band the Famous Flames. The late great Little Richard - a friend of Brown's - helped get the group a new manager and helped inspire one of the band's first successful singles "Please Please Please" (listed on the poster). 

 

Here's a magnificent head turner that contains everything you could ever want all in one poster! 1) The late great James Brown was the man that started it all giving this poster unsurpassed historical significance. 2) This is a CARDBOARD poster produced by the Tilghman Press company out of Oakland CA. Their promotional material had a consistent and familiar appearance to them similar to classic boxing style concert items from the early days of rock n roll. Very few original Tilghman Press posters still exist today because they were printed in extremely small quantities! 3) Unlike most surviving Tilghman relics this lot is 100% Original and free of restoration!
