It was the mid-1960's. Rock music was in its glory. As editor of Hit Parader magazine Don Paulsen had extraordinary access to the scene. Back then, before Rolling Stone, MTV and Spin, there was little in-depth media coverage of rock music--nor the budgets and personnel to enable it. Hit Parader was a one-man band. Paulsen not only edited and chose the assignments; he also wrote the articles and took the photographs!

Don Paulsen's photographs bring us face-to-face with pop music history. The Doors play to a tiny club audience at The Scene (1967). Smokey Robinson huddles with The Temptations, teaching them the words to the song "My Girl" (1964). The Rolling Stones at their first American press conference (1964). Eric Clapton backstage during Cream's premiere American concert (1967). The first New York appearance of Jerry Garcia (1967).

Paulsen also photographed candid moments in the working lives of the stars, images now so evocative of that amazing time. Brian Jones and Bob Dylan sit together at a Young Rascals club date (1965). Frank Zappa pauses in contemplation during a studio session (1968). Diana Ross, on a shopping expedition, crosses 5th Avenue (1965). In their hotel room Cher reads a magazine; Sonny works the telephone (1965).

Throughout the last 30 years
Don Paulsen photographs have appeared in books and magazines, on albums, in documentaries. However many haven't been seen since their original publication in the 1960's and 70's-- and there are photographs presented here
for the first time in any form.
