Glossy Kelly postcard photograph of the Rising Eight Gospel Singers, an octet of black women singers about whom we were not able to find any information aside from a brief mention in "Black Sacred Music" (Willis/Spencer, p. 214).  An amusing message in pencil to verso references the name "Ralph" written in blue ink to the image itself, apparently inscribed by one of the singers: "Lot of Love; The one thinking of you: Lanise / My Best Pal: Ralph." Light wear to edges, else in fine condition.  3.5 x 5.5 inches (8.8 x 13.5 cm.).
