Dan Gould Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) These have popped up in other threads but thought it would be neat to have a single thread people could contribute to. I've got a temporary membership to newspapers.com (free for a week) so you can join in the fun if you want to sign up and see what comes up for your search. First, the main subject of my searches: Edit to add that this was in the February 13 1960 edition of The New York Age A report in the November 17 1960 Gazette & Daily of York PA stated that Coleman Hawkins was also going to be in the band.

Dan Gould Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I can't recall seeing this, I think I would have remembered Rhode Island's Little Richard. Sounds like a helluva show with that backing group. Its Newport Rhode Island January 1960, BTW. Edited June 19, 2020 by Dan Gould Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Percy was one of those guys who was determinedly "local," whatever that means in NYC. He went to Europe a few times, but also turned down, as I recall, a few more substantial opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 As of this post, I have just learned about Billy Osborne, and to call his credentials impressive is putting it mildly... http://rhodeislandmusichalloffame.com/site/?page_id=1689 http://www.ripopmusic.org/musical-artists/musicians/billy-osborne/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, "Rhode Island's Little Richard" wasn't included in either write-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
