Sarah Vaughan 1962 Tivoli Theater, Chicago Jumbo Concert Poster....

Description

Sarah Vaughan 1962 Tivoli Theater, Chicago Jumbo Concert Poster. A lovely black & yellow cardboard window card for "The One... The Only... The DEVINE Sarah Vaughan." And for once, that's not hyperbole. This was for a week-long engagement at the Tivoli Theater in Chicago, commencing on Friday, May 25, 1962.

So just imagine seeing the supreme hall-of-fame talents of Ms. Vaughan singing, and then have "the funniest woman in the world" opening up for her! Such was the case with Moms Mabley being second-billed. Hey... at this point, Moms already had three of her comedy albums land in the Top 40 of Billboard's album chart!

And Peg-Leg Bates rounded out the bill. Interesting to note that they used the alternate spelling of "Vaughn" on the poster with Sarah, a common mix-up.

This poster was just discovered and liberated from a small grouping of Chicago and Regal Theater vintage window cards. Thankfully they were stored well, so in beautiful shape.

Speaking of which, this measures 22" x 28" and grades to Mint Minus condition; would have been Mint except for a couple of light brown marks in the upper left and lower left corners, which perhaps could easily be wiped away. COA from Heritage Auctions.
