Captain Hook and his Pirate Crew

Ahoy, matey!

Here's a Christian buccaneer who gained his fame from swashbucklin' the devil on the high seas! Captain Hook made Satan walk the plank like the scallywag that he is. And instead of pieces o' eight or ill-gotten treasure, the good Cap'n was only interested in leading boys and girls to Jesus. Today, he's not in Davey Jones' locker or the Fiddlers Green...no, he's with the Lord.

Thankfully, going barefoot on album covers never really caught on...

Kathy



Like Prince, Cher and Madonna, Kathy was so famous she was known only by one name.

The Joyful Sounds



Why do they have their hands out? Maybe they need help paying the woman at the beauty parlor. A PhD* doesn't come cheap, you know.

Steve Taylor



Wait a minute...usually, this name is associated more with clones and wax museums and discos and lifeboats and ice cream trucks...


LeRoy & Shorty



Before they became infamous Chicago gangsters, "Leroy" and "Shorty" were the best "two-man quartet" around. "The Happy Two," indeed. You can how happy they are just by looking at them.

J.D. Sumner & the Stamps



Wow, where to start with this one? From a graphic design standpoint, this is just a nightmare, top to bottom. And is it just me, or do some of the guys' heads appear too large for their bodies? J.D. and the young man on the bottom right must've had exceptionally large brains. 


The Praters



...another nominee for Creepy Album Cover of the Year.

J.D. Sumner & the Stamps Quartet



This isn't commonly known, but J.D. Sumner actually invented the practice of "manspreading."

The LeFevres



You knew you were in the big leagues when you could afford a bus driver with a uniform.

Gold City



What do you get when you cross a 'fro with a mullet? A Frullet! (Worn proudly by the young man on the far left.)
