PHOTO: Songwriter-blues/R&B singer OTIS BLACKWELL 1980 (composer of Elvis songs) 4x6
Rare performance photo of Otis Blackwell, a singer and recording artist in his own right best remembered for writing hits for Elvis Presley. This photo was taken in Memphis on August 15, 1980, by Amy van Singel or Jim O’Neal. (We sometimes handed our camera back and forth at events and often couldn’t identify who took which photos afterwards.)
For copyright protection, this eBay image is low resolution. The actual photo is sharper.
This image is from the O'Neal/van Singel
Living Blues c
ollection. I and my then-wife Amy took photos of almost every blues artist who was performing in Chicago in the 1970s and '80s, as well as many in Mississippi, Arkansas, Memphis, Detroit and St. Louis, and many soul singers, too. More photos will be listed on eBay.
