Lynn Goldsmith – James Brown, Zaire 1974

James Brown. At a press conference for the event, Ali began ranting about how the white man had taken the black man’s true names and true dress away. He pointed at me and yelled, “The white man will send a white woman photographer before they would send a black photographer.” James Brown jumped up and said, “Wait a minute, the white man buys my records!” Though he almost got me killed on the plane coming over, he saved me on this ride.

Lynn Goldsmith’s imagery is in numerous collections: The Smithsonian, The Polaroid Collection, The Kodak Collection, The Museum of Modern Art, The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the permanent collection of Museum Folkwang. She is a multi-awarded portrait photographer whose work has appeared on and between the covers of Life, Newsweek, Time, Rollingstone, Sports Illustrated, People, Elle, Interview, The New Yorker, etc. Her subjects have varied from entertainment personalities to sports stars, from film directors to authors, from the extra-ordinary to the ordinary man on the street.
