The Stanley Brothers were an American bluegrass duo made up of brothers Carter and Ralph Stanley, this caricature is Ralph ... from their 1961 LP 'The Stanley Brothers In Person' .. . . ..
From Wikipedia: The Stanley Brothers joined King Records in the late '50s, a record company so eclectic that it included James Brown at the time. In fact, James Brown and his band were in the studio when the Stanley Brothers recorded "Finger Poppin' Time". "James and his band were poppin' their fingers on that" according to Ralph.[2] At King Records, they "went to a more 'Stanley style', the sound that people most know today."[2]
@@iraroberts2342 I feel SO fortunate. I have sat literally AT THE FEET of Ralph and Bill Monroe and Porter Wagonner, and so many others at the Berryville, VA festival at Watermelon Park, back in the 1970s!! Right across the Potomac from Harper's Ferry, WV. I felt like I was in heaven.
