Ribbons on vox went out shortly after WWII, once the German condenser mics started arriving. I'd bet SC was on something more like a U47 or ELA M251.

Ribbons on vocals continued long after. Nearly all of Al Green's hits were recorded with an RCA 77.
On page 142 of Michael Och's Rock Archives there's a photo of Sam Cooke singing into a RCA 77.
