This WNEW AM 1130 radio advertisement features Mel Torme ( known as the Velvet Fog) and was produced in 1973.

WNEW AM was a radio station in Newark, NJ in operation from 1934-1992. The station made many breakthroughs in radio including the first use of disc jockeys and "the morning drive" concept. The company itself was inaugurated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt from the White House.

In 1973, WNEW commissioned a series of portraits of famous Jazz and Big Bands stars to announce the stations return to its earlier musical roots. The series includes Elle Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Peggy Lee, and Louis Armstrong.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
