A beautiful 1952 southern boxing-style concert poster featuring Johnny Otis and Little Esther, both important proponents of early, post-war rhythm & blues music. This red, white & blue cardboard poster is filled with splashy graphics, photos of the musicians, fun song titles and other interesting wording. Johnny Otis was truly a multi-talented renaissance man, and Esther Phillips was only 16 years old at the time of this concert. Enthusiastically discussed by collector Pete Howard of PosterCentral.com (phone 805-540-0020, email pete@postercentral.com). If old R&B concert posters like this tantalize you, be sure to go see more of them located on this page located here on my web site: http://www.postercentral.com/rhythmnblues.htm
