We couldn’t be more thrilled to offer you this vintage original cardboard poster for the FIRST TIME in our auction. This 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. This beautiful example is sooooo close to mint condition with only a tinge of toning around the edges holding it back from a higher grade. Original cardboard posters are super popular and remain one of the most highly sought after type of concert memorabilia ever known. Don't let this classic rarity pass you by!
