Janis Joplin (Bob Seidemann, circa 1966)
Still the lead singer for Big Brother and the Holding Company, Joplin,
with her characteristic bravado masking her natural shyness and
insecurity, insisted, "Take my picture naked, Seidemann, you
motherfucker." One of the frames later became a poster about which
Joplin raved in a letter to her family, "I'm the first hippie pinup
girl. What a kick!"
