This First Day Cover features a blue single-color cachet with a stylized illustration of a blues/rock performer on the left side. The cover includes seven 29-cent stamps from the 1993 Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues commemorative issue, honoring Bill Haley, Clyde McPhatter, Ritchie Valens, Otis Redding, Buddy Holly, Dinah Washington, and Elvis Presley. Each stamp has a circular pictorial postmark with 'ROCK & ROLL JUN 16 1993' and additional text. The text 'Rock and Roll & Rhythm and Blues Musicians' is handwritten in blue below the cachet.
