Alanis Morissette in Austin, Texas, Aug 29, 1995. Her acclaimed album, Jagged Little Pill had just been released and Marina Rota, at Warner, managed to get me an interview in Austin, Texas. I wanted to meet this new star before she arrived in Los Angeles when the world would discover her. We met at the hotel. “Shall we walk down by the river? She invited me and we did the interview under a bridge At the end she gave me this smile. Jagged Little Pill went on to sell nearly million copies.
Tina Turner. In June 1975. Just outside a recording studio in Inglewood. LA.
I met the Great Tina Turner at Bolic Sound, the Turners studio in Inglewood when Ike and his musicians were recording. I was there to do an interview with Tina and as we were talking I felt tension in the studio. I asked her if we could go out and take some photos in the afternoon light. Tina was wearing jeans and she had hardly any make up. She was very sweet, but there was some sadness in her eyes. She broke up from Ike not so long after this photo.
