Photograph caption dated May 8, 1964 reads, "Big man - 290-pound Roosevelt Grier, a big man on the football field, looms large in front of a recording mike, too." Photograph article partially reads, "The Los Angeles Rams may not win any National Football League titles in the near future, but they are already in front of the rest of the league in at least one category: most records cut...In fact if 'Rosey's' new single - 'Fool, Fool, Fool' - makes the top ten he will probaby hold the record as the biggest singer to make the hit list."
