The guy on the right is the Cashbox VP, father of my friend's boyfriend. Other than that, no.
Embarrassingly, I think I do. I think it's the Bay City Rollers' Les McKeown.

Less embarrassing is that I actually met these guys when they were staying in South Orange.
Thanks, there is certainly a resemblance. My friend thinks the picture is from the 1969-71 range, which would predate BCR hitting the charts by a few years.
From the start, I thought that fellow looked like he was in his 30s, which has been narrowing my (so far fruitless) guesses to performers who had been around for a while.

And given the apparent age, I’m wondering if he’s someone who was in artist management or some other business role, and not necessarily a performer.
In case this helps get others’ juices flowing, here’s where my thoughts have been heading: an older guy for the time, more on the pop/Top 40 side (based on the duds and Cashbox connection) and a solo act or frontman (based on the photo op).
I‘ve been looking up the likes of Tommy Roe, Mark Lindsay, Andy Kim — and am discovering that even they weren’t yet in their 30s by then. (Good lord, even Cliff Richard was barely that old.) Which is making me lean even more toward a non-performer.
The width of the ties and the aviator glasses are making me think a couple years later than 1971.

Well, I was missing some information, wasn't I?

In the spirit of the recent music posts, I thought this group might be able to identify the fellow second from left in this photo. The father of a friend's boyfriend was a VP at Cashbox, and they are going through his old photos. So far no one's been able to ID this guy. I'm confident MOLers are up to the challenge.
