  • About this photograph

    The Who, one of the greatest rock bands of all time, began in 1964 and, when photographed on June 5, 1969, had just released their landmark rock opera Tommy. In a “People Are Talking About …” feature of Vogue, Tommy was praised as “celebrating the quiet divinity of explosion”, seriously extending rock’s musical range. The Who were John Entwistle, Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, and Roger Daltrey. Along with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, The Who were part of “the holy trinity of British rock” in the words of Rolling Stone magazine.

    About the photographer

    Jack Robinson, Jr. (1928-1997), born in Meridian, Mississippi, became a renowned fashion and portrait photographer after moving to New York City in 1955. He quickly gained recognition through assignments with the New York Times and Life Magazine. His career peaked at Vogue, where he photographed celebrities like Elton John, Joni Mitchell, and The Who from 1965 to 1973. Despite his success, Robinson struggled with personal issues and relocated to Memphis in the early 1970s, where he shifted to designing award-winning stained glass. His extensive photographic archive, discovered posthumously, underscored his significant contributions to photography.
