Collection of Seventeen Publicity Photos of Performers from the Golden Age of Soul Music, circa mid-1960s

California and New York, 1960. Silver gelatin prints on glossy stock, most 8 x 10 inches. Fine. A fine collection of press photos from an amazing period in American music, with many classic soul singers included, many of whom were represented by the William Morris Agency. Subjects include: Clyde McPhatter, Ketty Lester, Barbara McNair, Leon Bibb, Sheryl Easly (who performed with the Sal Salvador Orchestra on a recording in 1963), Adam Wade, Sam Cooke, Odetta, Nipsey Russell, Leslie Uggams, Maxine Brown, Pearl Bailey, Ray Charles, Tiny Joe, Freda Payne and Solomon Burke. Photos generally fine with no notable flaws, though a few have an odd fold or crease.
