Summary

The first book to explore the extraordinary work of the photographers who with their spectacular images captured the energy, intoxication, rebellion, and magic of rock and roll. Who Shot Rock & Rollbrings together two hundred photographs, including many rare and never-before-seen images: searing, sensual, luminous, and often iconic portraits; album covers; behind-the-scenes and live concert shots. Here is Elvis in 1956not yet mythic but already beautiful, tender, and sexyphotographed by Alfred Wertheimer . . . Bob Dylan and girlfriend on a snowy Greenwich Village street, by Don Hunstein . . . John Lennon in sleeveless New York City T-shirt, by Bob Gruen . . . Jimi Hendrix, by Gered Mankowitz, a photograph made into a poster that hung on the walls of millions of bedrooms and college dorms . . . With text and captions by Gail Buckland, who writes about the photographs and the men and women who took them; about how they saw what they saw and captured what they did: the spirit and essence of rock.
