Okay, maybe you've heard of a few of these acts, but you get my drift - these are good old fashioned press photos of musicians who weren't exactly household names. I don't know about you, but I'd rather check out a picture of The Loving Cup (?) over another tired snapshot of Fleetwood Mac any day.
I've mentioned this many times before, but it bears repeating: every Holiday Inn, Best Western, and Howard Johnson's had a lounge with some low key musician on stage. These weren't hard rockers; these guys and gals took a page out of the Tony Orlando playbook and were there to entertain you while you sipped your Scotch, not rock the house.
Click images to enlarge. The black lines on some of these photos are where they were going to be cropped for promotional purposes (concert ads, etc.).
