Description

DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, November 23, 1964. Official authorization letter addressed to Selmur Productions, in full: "This will authorize you to forward to my agent Willard Alexander, Inc. located at 449 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, California all monies due me for my appearance on The Shindig Television Show taped November 23, 1964. Thank you." Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Franklin. In fine condition, with small edge tears and staple holes to the upper left corner. An appealing document signed by Franklin at a period when she began recording more pop music; she reached the top ten on the R&B chart with the ballad, 'Runnin' Out of Fools' in early 1965. In addition to being an early example, Franklin signatures are seldom found in full.
