Portion used	Part
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Identification and critical commentary in the Lou Rawls article, a subject of public interest. The image confirms to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the artist/actor.
Replaceable?	No free alternative could be created to illustrate the topic in question. Lou Rawls has been deceased for eight years, and a new one is unlikely. A free contemporary image would not convey the same information.
Other information	Use of the promotional photograph in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic. The "Baywatch Nights" and "All-American" logos are visible framing the original photo, supporting the claim that it was originally used to promote the show.
