In the aftermath of a political, civil, and a sexual revolution all over the world during the 1970s, photographer's James Fortune and Keith Rodabaugh plied their trade in the backstages and VIP sections
of some of the nation's biggest musical events.
Beginning with their college days in the late '60s, Fortune and Rodabaugh spent more that a decade photographing rock'n'roll icons like Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, Jim Morrison, Elton John,
Michael Jackson, and countless others. Their catalog of over 20,000 images from the tumultuous '60 and '70s contains shots of everything from hippie riots in Hollywood to Gene Simmons and Cher sharing an
e'clair. They ran with the high-and-mighty and photographed them all, President Jimmy Carter and the Bee Gees, Iggy Pop, Eric Clapton and President Ronald Reagan. James Fortune's work even spanned the Pacific to Vietnam, where the intrepid photographer served active duty from 1968 to 1969 with the U.S. Navy's elite Pacific Fleet Combat Camera Group.
"The bedroom walls of Americas youth in the 70's and 80's were plastered with their rock star posters."
