This vintage original 1955 cardboard poster is a treasured and highly collectible piece. Appropriately described as "The Top 10 Rhythm & Blues Review", this early lineup for an evening in September 1955 featured 3 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees: Bo Diddley, Big Joe Turner, and Etta James! Bo Diddley’s song “I’m a Man” was red hot during this era, and it’s also printed on the poster. Etta James was only in the second year of her long-spanning career. Original cardboard posters are super popular and remain one of the most highly sought-after types of concert memorabilia ever known. Don't let this classic rarity pass you by!
