David Allison Ogburn (American, born 1942) and his cameras have been on the scene and behind the scenes of the rhythm-and-blues world since the early 1970s, capturing the ups and downs of performers’ lives on the road. He has also photographed many other prominent African-American musicians, authors, and celebrities. This exhibition includes portraits of Muhammad Ali, Yosef Ben-Jochanman, James Brown, Ruth Brown, Stokely Carmichael, John Henrik Clarke, Joe Frazier, Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones, Coretta Scott King, Cheryl Lynn, Tenna Marie, Sade, Gil Scott-Heron, and Chancellor Williams.
