A visual trip through the Rock Music of the 70s and 80s feat.
Photographer James Fortune announces a new website devoted to his 70's and 80's photos of Rock'n'Roll stars. The bedroom walls of America's youth in the �70s and early '80s were plastered with his rock star posters. And now for the first time, limited edition signed prints from his original negatives are now available on a single web site.
The site includes photos of individual stars such as Alice Cooper, Edgar Winter, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gene Simmons, Iggy Pop, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Johnny Winter, Keith Moon, Keith Richards, Marc Bolan, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Tim Buckley, T-Rex, and many others. It also includes photos of groups such as Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and The Who.
James Fortune has been a photographer for nearly 40 years. Beginning in his college days in Los Angeles in the late '60s, he spent more than a decade photographing Rock'n'Roll icons in the back stages and VIP sections of some of the west coast's biggest music events. He amassed over 15,000 images ranging from hippie riots in Hollywood to Gene Simmons and Cher sharing an �clair. From 1968-1970, his work spanned the Pacific to Viet Nam where he served with the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Combat Camera Group.
