Author Description

Over a span of 50 years, Ron Galella photographed over 1,000 artists from the genres of jazz, blues, R&B, hip hop, pop, rock, disco, country, and more. Undaunted by bodyguards, barricades, and security checkpoints, Galella made it his mission to track down these stars--as he famously did with Jackie Kennedy--to create some of pop culture's most recognized images. "When I'm in New York, I have to watch out for Ron Galella," Mick Jagger famously remarked in the '80s. Now, gathered together in "Pop, Rock & Dance", this collection of photos presents a rich and impressively comprehensive visual history of contemporary music.
