Jerry Butler & His Revue, the 1965 music poster ("'For Your Precious Love'"; "'I Stand Accused'"; "'Just For You'"; "Let It Be Me'") advertising the performance of black African American Jerry Butler with the Jerry Butler Band and Tammy Montgomery on December 18th and 19th at the Rendezvous East Supper Club in Richmond, Virginia. Note that Jerry Butler is an black African American soul singer-songwriter, producer, musician and retired politician. He is the original lead singer of the R&B vocal group The Impressions, and a 1991 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The "Tammy Montgomery" billed on this card was black African American and was born in 1945 (as Thomasina Winifred Montgomery) and began singing backup for James Brown when she was just 15 (she used the name Tammy as her first name because she loved the song "Tammy"). The next year she founded the group called "The Sherrys". Two years later she left the group and had a solo hit with "I Cried". She then quit singing, and enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania where she majored in pre-med! After two years in college, singer Jerry Butler asked her to sing with him, telling her she could stay in school. At one of their performances she was seen by Berry Gordy, and she signed with him, and in 1966, Gordy changed her name to "Tammi Terrell" and she had many hits as a solo artist. In 1967, she sang a series of duets with Marvin Gaye, starting with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", and they were giant hits. Terrell had suffered from migraine headaches for years, and tragically, Terrell collapsed in late 1967 and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had surgery and was able to continue performing, but the tumors returned, and became more and more sick, and she passed away early in 1970, and she was not yet 25.

Important Added Info:

Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S.
