Who was Lloyd Sims ??
I have him down as co-writer [[along with Roquel Davis) of Chuck Berry's "Too Pooped to Pop [aka "Casey"], but otherwise I never heard of him .....

Attachment 1318
... I have no idea what became of their lead singer though !!!
Is that the same Rockhead in Montreal?
It is the Montreal club.
All 7 ads above these posts were for shows staged in Montreal [[as was Club Sahara).
Seems that Canadian audiences loved their soul [[& calypso/ reggae) acts in the late 60's & 1970.
Returning to another Baltimore show .....
... but once again its a Philly group ....
Attachment 1322
I enjoy looking at old newspaper ads, trade ads, posters, etc. Has anyone check out the Globe Posters website?
They were out of Baltimore and did all the great, colorful posters back in the 50s, 60s, 70s.
It may be at: www.globeposters.com
Still in Baltimore but 'back in time' again .....
... some Motown involvement this time ....

No real Motown artists on this Harlem bill .....

... but the option on their contract wouldn't be taken up by Motown ...
Attachment 1338

Attachment 1344
They were a long way from home over Xmas 64 & New Years.
Post #147 of this thread featured a show on which the Capitol Records Soul Caravan appeared ........
.... here's a magazine article that deals with why the label instigated this revue package .......
Attachment 1348
The name of the female group on the Caravan was actually the Thrills !!!
Its a pity some other soul acts signed to Capitol at the time weren't also added to the revue line-up.
A 1969 concert in New York & on the impressive bill .....

Attachment 1441
The above poster must be from the late 60s! That's a late 60s photo of the Shirelles after Doris left in late '68. It is
a very old photo of Mary, but look at Ben E. King. Also, check out the price of tickets! It may even be from the
70s.
Also, it probably IS from the 70s as it is billed as Rhythm & Blues Oldies Concert.
If you look closely, the Shirelles photo in the above poster actually shows Doris, Micki, and Beverly. However, the photo is also cropped. The original photo shows all four members, including Shirley, who is seated in front of the other three.
The concert might have taken place during the period in the 70s when Shirley went on maternity leave, and Doris subbed for her. Or during the period when Doris took over for Shirley for good.
