As the music industry circles the drain, Sony Music has tapped into their photo archives as a resource to generate revenue.
In an article in the New York Times, the president of Sony BMG Music Entertainment’s commercial music group says “We’re looking to take advantage of all the assets of the company, not just the audio recordings”. OK, got it.
The photos have such an air of dignity, even when you know their personal lives were in such turmoil....
The photos are beautiful, I love the pix of Billie Holiday singing with a cigarette in her hand. Perfect.
