Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Mid 20th century B&W photo of Jo Stafford with The Starlighters, a pop backing vocal group
Author or copyright owner	Unknown
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Unknown. It is presumably a publicity photo. Immediate source: Rapture Records -- http://rapturerecords.tumblr.com/post/86023914277/song-pretty-boy-you-belong-to-me-artist-jo#_=_
Date of publication	Unknown -- late 1940s or early 1950s
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	The Starlighters
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of his/her biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	All of the people in the photo are presumably dead. Pauline Byrns died in 1990. Jo Stafford died in 2008. Vince Degen died in 2005, it says here. Jerry Duane died in 2014, I believe. Howard Hudson died in 2012, it says here. Tony Paris I couldn't find info, but if he's alive he'd be about 100 years old. Even if he is alive, a picture of the group "The Starlighters" would be now impossible to obtain.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	It is a small image used once, in the one article.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Per WP:NFCI #10, "Pictures of deceased persons, in articles about that person" the assumption is that this is allowable. The Starlighters have been extinct since the early 1950s and there is frankly no commercial opportunity anymore in exploiting them or their image. While this is a publicity photo (presumably), the days of profitably publicizing The Starlighters are decades gone.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: The subjects have died at various times in the late 20th and early 21st centuries
