'I don't think there will ever be another movie about an icon that's this intimate.' Also up for auction is 's driver's license from 1944. Expired the next year, the tattered cardboard ID sports the then-28-year-old singer's signature, as well as his address in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey. At the time, the crooner had recently signed to Columbia Records and by that time had racked up a number of Top 10 hits. In 1944, his 'Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night)' bowed at Number 2 while his recording of 'White Christmas' reached Number 7.
Paddle8 estimates the license will go for between $8,000 and $10,000. Another interesting item in the auction is a handwritten set list from when the band was touring in support of War. The concert, which contained songs like 'New Year's Day,' 'I Will Follow' and 'Sunday Bloody Sunday,' took place in February 1983 at Aberdeen, Scotland's Capitol venue. The item includes a ticket stub from the show. Paddle8 estimates the set list and stub will garner between $4,000 and $6,000. Other items in the auction include rare photographs of the Doors, Jim Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Sinatra, as well as a poster advertising Sgt.
Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Paddle8 has also gathered together a number of photos and other items signed by the Beatles, including a copy of Revolver signed by cover illustrator and Plastic Ono Band bassist Klaus Voormann. The auction ends February 26th.
