So, I've had this poster for a while, and the mystery surrounding it has always been who appears in two of the photos. One is most definitely The Del-Rios, but the other two are not anyone on the bill. Does anyone recognize the male or female in this poster?

    Great poster but no idea I'm afraid. The woman reminds me a bit of Moms Mabley, maybe it's Martha Carter?

  • I would haveguessed Martha Carter.  She's definitely NOT Carla Thomas, nor Robbie Montgomery.  But the OP states that the photos are no one listed on the poster.  I don't recognise the man.  He ISN'T

  • Here are some pictures of others   Tommy Gadson and the derbies     https://library.umkc.edu/spec-col/local627/photos/merger/bell-p371.htm   Robbie montgomery

Ha ha - yes. Dr. Feelgood on the poster below this one is also not the British band. 

 

A friend seemed to be fairly certain that the woman is not Martha Carter but honestly, I haven't seen enough photos of her to be 100% sure. I have verified, at least, that the man is not Tommy Gadson and we ALL know that it's not Booker T.
