I got these at an auction yesterday ($2.50) because I thought they were pretty neat. They don't fit the decor in my house and I want to sell them. They are original pencil, paint mixed medium art. I can't figure the artist name and I only see where one is "signed". One has broken glass so i took it out of the frame to see if back or under matting was signed. Nope. Do you recognize any of the subjects? Some look familiar but I don't know....
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!😊

Thank you Dizz! And thanks for the song in my head now!! LOL
 

Actually, I think it looks more like Paul and Mary from Peter, Paul and Mary. Maybe the guy in front was a manager or something. These seem to be icons from various fields. I (think) I only recognize the last one tho. One looks like a chef boy r dee commercial being filmed, lol.
 

I think it looks more like Paul and Mary after viewing pictures of them to. I've never heard of them. Thank you!
 

It's definitely not their manager Albert Grossman. Your showing your age by not knowing who Peter Paul and Mary are, lol.

I was born in the early 70's but didn't pay much attention to music until the 80's. :)
 

I was born in the mid 60's and a lot of the music I like is from that era. But then I also like music from Metallica and Disturbed to Elvis and Hank Williams Jr. so...

I think we can safely date your art to the late 60's early 70's based on the clothing styles. I'm not sure if that is an actual signature though.
