B.B. King, Winterland, December 1967
Photography and commentary by Baron Wolman

“This photo of B.B. King was taken backstage at Bill Graham’s Winterland in December 1967.  It shows a younger, slimmer, very approachable and very hospitable B.B. relaxing before his performance with the trademark twinkle in his eye.  I have always loved the light and the composition of this informal portrait.  This photo, along with the one of Johnny Cash, appeared in Rolling Stone Issue #11 which featured my then-wife on the cover.”
