ADVERTISED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES

AS ROCK N' ROLL PROMOTERS GO,
BILL GRAHAM WAS IN A CLASS ABOVE.
NO ONE DID PROMOTION BETTER,
CHORUSED BY MUSICIANS WITH LOVE.

BILL GRAHAM ALWAYS GOT HIS CUT,
AND MUSICIANS GOT THEIRS TOO.
IN THE DOG-EAT-DOG MUSIC BIZ,
BILL GRAHAM'S ROCK N' ROLL WAS TRUE.

GRAHAM ABOVE ALL WAS A PIONEER,
ASK THOSE OF FILLMORE EAST AND WEST.
WOODSTOCK NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN,
WITHOUT BILL DOING THE SOUND TEST.

PROMOTERS RARELY ARE HELD IN ESTEEM,
BUT MR. GRAHAM DESERVES THIS LINE.
IF EVER THERE WAS A HEART OF GOLD,
BILL GRAHAM'S WAS TRULY DIVINE.
