Bettie Page in her famous Africa USA photo shoot in Boca Raton, Florida as shot by Bunny Yeager. Page is posed in a leopard print swimsuit holding the chains to two (stuffed) cheetahs. This is one of (at least) three covers used by Halo with the same photo.   All the music is just generic chorus and orchestra pablum.   This one is “The Best Musical Comedy Songs” (1957).

James Cleveland Sings Songs My Mother Taught Me”

Cover art by “Harvey”. One of many gospel and jazz illustrations by the artist on the Savoy label.

“Throughout the 1960’s Harvey produced paintings for the covers of Savoy Records and their subsidiaries Sharp, Regent and Gospel. Most, but not all, were gospel albums. More than 190. The record jackets are signed on the front, “Harvey”, and on the back of many of the records Harvey is given credit for the album art. No other name. No one knows for sure the identity of the mysterious Harvey to this day. According to long-time Savoy producer Lawrence Roberts, Harvey lived in New York and was very secretive. They would send him a title or concept and he would produce the painting.” The paintings were not expensive and they paid him in cash. I wish I had some of these paintings. I wonder where they are today!
