Index card calligraphy! I’m really proud of this one!
johnny restivo 'the shape i'm in' autograph, pen on index card (via ebay purchase)
in 1959 johnny [restivo] was discovered by joe mulhall and paul neff and on june 9th of that year at 15 years old, he recorded "the shape i'm in" and "ya, ya" at rca with paul simon (aka jerry landis) playing the guitar together with bucky pizzarelli and mundell lowe. it reached #80 on the billboard hot 100. restivo was nominated for a grammy award for best new artist, but lost to bobby darin. restivo never charted another hit. johnny also achieved fame as a muscular young bodybuilder while in his teens. he was on the covers of tomorrow's man and model parade.
