An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) 'Sugar Chile' Robinson, Billie Holiday, Count Basie and His Sextet, the 1951 Will Cowan jazz musical short starring Frank 'Sugar Chile' Robinson (a pianist and singer from the 1940s on, who began his music career as a child prodigy playing and singing Blues and Boogie-Woogie), Billie Holiday, and Count Basie (black African American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader and composer from the 1930s to the 1980s) and His Sextet. Billie Holiday was a prominent black African American figure in jazz music from 1933 until her death in 1959. She only had small appearances in two movies (New Orleans and Symphony in Black), plus her part in this short. She is not pictured on the posters from those two movies, but she is pictured on the one-sheet for this movie, which is beyond rare (as is any poster material from this movie). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned (it is the one we refer to in our description above). Other than this poster, we have only auctioned a pressbook and a single 8x10 still. If someone wants to have a vintage poster that pictures Billie Holiday in their collection, they need to purchase this poster, or possibly wait years or decades for another example to surface! Condition: very good. The poster was lightly folded in half an extra time, and there are several light vertical creases down the left one-quarter and right one-quarter. The poster has tiny separation at the crossfolds and minor wear on the folds. It has two tiny pairs of staple holes near the center. After a simple linenbacking, the poster will display wonderfully!
