Here's an OLD handbill from 1954!! This piece advertises Big Maybelle (incorrectly spelled Maybell), one of the R&B greats at The Red Carpet in South Ozone Park, NY. The "boss lady of the blues" played three nights at the venue in late April. Amazingly, this handbill has survived all these years in NEAR MINT condition! 100% original with no restoration.
