You are a good person for trying. I appreciate it very much.
Thanks Sharyn,
He is really hard to see clearly, but here is a closeup. The flag is the biggest clue. I just don’t know how to read the symbols.
Hi Joe, thank you! And again, thanks for the tip.
I down loaded a photo from https://morguefile.com/ (free photos for commercial use). Pasted it to MS Publisher. Used word art to create the lettering, superimposed it on the photo. Saved as JPG and then cropped. Then uploaded to my store banner.
If you want a banner, and you would like my help, it would take me no time at all to make one for you. If you tell me which photo you want from morgue file or any other photo you want to use, I will get it done and email the jpg file. Then you can loaded it up to your store.
Have a great evening.
Hey Liz, Like I said it was a mind twister! Good job on getting it.
Hey Joe, thanks for reaching out and letting me know. I really appreciate it. I did it! That was a mind twister but I found the info and edited the store. And you inspired me to put a banner… check it out.
So I think we are finally at the end of the road on this: these are probably random folks.
A friend of mine sent the photo to another friend and she says this: “I sent the pic to a guy named Billy Vera. He’s a musician and music historian – he lived it. He thinks it’s probably studio singers but no one in particular he recognized. If you look Billy up on line you’ll see he’s got quite his own history from the early 60s so he is a reliable source on this.”
I think I can safely put this to rest and move on. I do have the photo listed and will change the title to more accurately reflect the listing.
Thank you to all of you that put in your input and took the time to reply. I am very grateful and very happy to be a part of this amazing group of helpful people.
Liz, I noticed that too. And I looked the smile and it does seem more like Nancy Wilson than Ronnie — but it is looking more and more like this might be random folks. The only thing that holds me back on a definite opinion is that the framing company said that they photo came from Capitol Records. Nothing more from the reddit crowd but I have another person looking at this so waiting for an answer.
Thanks MyCottage, I don’t see it but then again, these folks are before my time and I was not born here….so my opinion doesn’t count for much here.
Yes, so I relisted it under a different subreddit as suggested by the moderator. It was just that particular subreddit (whatisthisthing) that was not allowed to put people. It was really weird to be honest. But I followed what was suggested and got a reply from one fellow who said:
“Only Wrecking Crew I know of is a group of studio musicians in LA. All men except for Carol Kaye, and def not as photogenic as this group.”
I put a post on facebook as well to see if anyone of my friends might know and I shot out a photo to a musician friend of mine who did not know either except suggested that one of the ladies might be Nancy Wilson, which if you look her up, it is a good possibility.
My post was flagged and removed for trying to identify a person. Sheesh!
Good thinking Jay! Done! Will let you know what I find out.
So that was a dead end but the company that did the framing said that Capitol Records sometimes gives them these photos from their archives, the framed photo goes back to Capitol Records and they might gift it out. It was suggested that I call Capitol Records but there is no way to reach anyone there. No phone number on the site and I was not able to find anything on the internet.
All good points!
The RIAA does not have a phone number on their website. BUT I called Jewel Box Platinum and the fellow there will try to help me sort this out. WHY I did not just do that originally is beyond me. It was too simple I guess. Let’s see if he can help me figure this out.
I see your point but then there are so many celebrity photos being sold, why would mine be different? I can add a question mark to the title like I have seen others do. I used the names as key words, otherwise how would anyone find my photo?
If anyone is interested in the listing itself I am always very happy for feedback on how I might do it better. Right now I went a little crazy on the price just to hold it there until I might get a better idea of who the people are.
