Music Rock Stars Legends Photography By James Joseph Marshall

He was known for his forceful personality that became something of a celebrity of its own. Not having any children, he used to say "I have no kids," "My photographs are my children." He lived in California, but died in New York on a trip in which he was scheduled to speak in SoHo.
In 1967, he dated Folgers coffee heiress, Abigail Folger. She accompanied him and fellow photographer, Elaine Mayes to the Monterey Pop Festival. Abigail was murdered in 1969 by followers of Charles Manson.
