R&B Stylist Chuck Jackson 1964 Jumbo Globe Concert Poster.
A large cardboard window card advertising R&B singer Chuck Jackson at Carr's Beach in Annapolis, MD on Saturday night, July 25, 1964. Unusually, this poster features two full-body shots of Jackson, one a photograph of him posing and another one drawn of him performing. We've never seen a combination like that.

Jackson charted 23 records on Billboard magazine's R&B singles chart between 1961 and 1980. He never crossed over to mainstream (pop) success, but he made his mark in 1962 with "Any Day Now," his biggest hit and an early composition by new songwriter Burt Bacharach. By reaching #2 in Billboard, Jackson's version surely reached Elvis Presley's ears, and Elvis famously covered the song in 1969 on From Elvis in Memphis, also putting it on the flip side of his #3 hit "In the Ghetto."

Three other Jackson song titles appear on the poster... "Beg Me," his latest single; "I Wake Up Crying," a Top 20 R&B hit from three years earlier; and "I Don't Want to Cry," his first hit, a Top 5 smash also from 1961.

Made by Globe Poster in Baltimore, with their trademark look. Advance admission was a very reasonable $1.50. Measures 21.75" x 29.5". In Good condition with moisture stains on the left side, a 1" hole in the upper left corner area and a .5" hole in the upper right (both from nails which held it in place), wear to the edges, and creasing in the bottom center section. COA from Heritage Auctions.
