Unbound. Flyer. Measuring 8½" x 11". Printed on yellow paper. About fine. The West Philadelphia-born Burke, despite being one of the greatest transitional figures in the history of gospel, R&B, and soul, was overshadowed by other stars but remains both one of the most important and least recognized figures in rock and roll, despite his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Presumably he had to make many personal appearances in order to both promote his music and earn his living. Rio Grande is a small town at the Jersey Shore near Whitesboro, which was founded as a planned residential community for African-Americans. This is a scarce and perhaps unique ephemeral documentation of one of those appearances.
