Description

Ray Charles 1966 Seattle, WA New Year's Eve "Dance and Show" Concert Poster. An original cardboard window card advertising 'The Genius' himself, Mr. Ray Charles, performing a Saturday night New Year's Eve gig at Seattle's City Center Arena on December 31, 1966.

This dynamic yellow & black boxing-style concert poster depicts Brother Ray in an artistic rendering that's oh-so-cool. It also has a couple of hyperbolic proclamations, as Ray's posters often did, but with his talent, who's to argue? This was also the last year Ray enjoyed a Top 10 national hit, with "Crying Time" earlier in '66, and a Top 20 album by that name as well. Measures 14" x 22" and grades to Very Good Plus condition. COA from Heritage Auctions.


More Information: Poster has thumbtack holes and halos in the four corners, some white discoloration in the bottom margin under "ORCH," and general toning throughout, especially in the margins.
