布鲁斯·W·塔拉蒙（Bruce W. Talamon）的1970年代音乐大爆炸的背后故事

塔拉蒙见证了灵魂乐、节奏布鲁斯和放克乐的全盛时期。从1972年到1982年，这位来自洛杉矶的年轻非裔美国摄影师几乎可以无限制地接触到黑人音乐中的明星。1970年代早期，灵魂乐、R&B和放克音乐成为主流，塔拉蒙在洛杉矶的《SOUL》杂志做摄影师，这是他的首次重大突破。他拍摄了排练、试音、录音会议、服装试装、安静的反思时刻、路上的生活，还有疯狂的时刻和难忘的表演。这些照片全面而细致地记录了流行音乐中非常激动人心的时代——一个以其美妙的时尚魅力、对音乐的完全投入而闻名的时代。

本书收录了从1972年到1982年的近300张照片，塔拉蒙档案首次以完整的细节呈现。无论你是顽固的灵魂乐迷，还是对70年代的美学魔力感到兴奋的新人，这个系列都散发着一个繁荣时代的感染力。本书展示了球风火合唱团、马文·盖伊（Marvin Gaye）、戴安娜·罗斯（Diana Ross）、议会/迷幻放克乐队、艾尔·格林（Al Green）、吉尔·史考特·海伦（Gil Scott-Heron）、詹姆斯·布朗（James Brown）、巴里·怀特（Barry White）、瑞克·詹姆斯（Rick James）、艾瑞莎·富兰克林（Aretha Franklin）、杰克逊五人组，唐娜·莎曼（Donna Summer），夏卡康（Chaka Khan）等人；还有几章展示了传奇的灵魂列车录音室。塔拉蒙用摄影集记录了黑人音乐的一个时期，这个时期持续了很长时间，但永远不会再回来了。

Behind the scenes of the 1970s music explosion with Bruce W. Talamon

Talamon saw it all during the golden age of soul, R&B, and funk. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, this young African American photographer from Los Angeles found himself backstage with an all-

access pass to the heart of the music scene. He caught his first big break landing a position as a staff photographer at SOUL Newspaper in LA in the early 1970s, just as soul, R&B, and funk were becoming part of the mainstream. He captured the rehearsals and sound checks, recording sessions and costume fittings, the quiet reflective moments and life on the road, and, of course, the wild photo shoots and memorable performances. These photographs define an era famed for its glamour, fabulous fashions, and utter devotion to the groove.

Including close to 300 photographs from 1972 to 1982, the extensive Talamon archives are presented in full detail for the first time. Whether you’re a diehard soul fan or a thrilled newcomer to the aesthetic magic of the 1970s, the collection exudes the infectious spirit of an exuberant age. Featuring icons such as Earth, Wind & Fire; Marvin Gaye; Diana Ross; Parliament-Funkadelic; Al Green; Gil Scott-

Heron; James Brown; Barry White; Rick James; Aretha Franklin; the Jackson Five; Donna Summer; and Chaka Khan and many others; there are also several stops at the legendary Soul Train studios. Talamon documented a visual period in black music that lasted way past the midnight hour and will never come again.

This release is an affordable, compact version of our Art Edition, limited to 500 copies and featuring a portfolio of four prints signed by Bruce W. Talamon.
