Description Photo of (from left) Teddy Wilson, Benny Goodman, and Mel Tormé.
Date There is no date on the photo, but from the appearance of those pictured, the timeframe should be circa 1940s-1950s. Tormé was born in 1925 and died in 1999. Goodman was born in 1909 and died in 1986, Wilson was born in 1912 and died in 1986.

"Popsie". The photographer did not provide any other identification except this name and two telephone numbers which have no area codes and are not in all numeric form, but are listed by local exchange letters, as was done in the timeframe. He/she also did not indicate the photo was copyrighted.

There is a Metronome stamp on the back of the photo. Because other images taken by "Popsie" were not marked with a Metronome stamp, File:Frankie Laine Patti Page 1950s.jpg, File:Benny Goodman jackie searle.JPG, this leads to the belief that he/she was a free-lance photographer who may have sold this individual photo to Metronome magazine.
Metronome magazine stopped publication in 1961. A check of their previous copyright records indicates that the magazine was copyrighted, but a further check indicates that the copyrights for the timeframe of 1940 through 1961 were not renewed, as the magazine was no longer in business to do so. If this image was published by the magazine, because of the timeframe and the magazine's going out of business in 1961, it would be covered under the PD not renewed license.
Despite the fact that the image has no copyright markings on it and would likely fall under the PD-pre 1978 license because of that, I have chosen to license it as PD-not renewed, because there is no way of knowing if the magazine published it or not.
