in MEMPHIS! Three members of the original Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs of "Wooly Bully" fame joined Echoes of the Sixties co-author Jeff March for a book signing at Borders Books & Music in the Memphis suburb of Germantown, Tenn. on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2000. It was a historic moment because it was the first time that singer-organist Domingo "Sam the Sham" Samudio, Pharaohs saxophonist Paul "Butch" Gibson and Pharaohs drummer Jerry Patterson had been together since 1968.         With three of the five original members present, it was a Pharaohs quorum. Enjoy these photos taken in Memphis, the home of the blues. Flanked by Pharaohs Butch Gibson (left) and Jerry Patterson, Jeff March (standing) speaks to guests attending the book signing.
