Bobby Poe's Pop Music Survey: Look Who Visited The Poe Convention

Look Who Visited The Poe Convention

One of my father's favorite pictures over the years was this one from a Pop Music Survey Convention in the 1990's. (L-R: Cyndi Lauper, The Poe Kat, Ora Mae Poe, Bobby Poe, Jr.)

Here's another of my father's favorite pictures, this time from the one and only Bobby Poe's Pop Music Survey Convention in Nashville, which was Convention #4 in 1975. (L-R) The Poe Kat, his good friend Shelby Singleton (President/Owner of Sun Records) and the legendary Carol Channing. Carol, who passed away in January of 2019, was Mistress of Ceremonies that year. Bobby Poe Sr. passed away in 2011 and Shelby passed away in 2009.

In 1989, the amazing staff at PolyGram presented live in their Hospitality Suite, none other than one of the greatest groups of all time, The Moody Blues. It was an unbelievable experience and we will be eternally grateful to PolyGram's David Leach, Andy Szulinski and everyone at the label for the honor. Special thanks to Donna Jean Rumbley of the Baltimore/Washington, DC PolyGram Branch for decorating PolyGram's Hospitality Sutie and for taking this picture. (L-R) Justin Hayward, Graeme Edge and John Lodge of The Moody Blues.
