Marsha Hunt - keep The Customer Satisfied (1970)This footage from German TV. Some soul artists at this time were mixing rock with their music and soul purists hated it at the time. In fact anything with a 'fuzz box guitar' in it was a no no.
People like the Isley Brothers, George Clinton, Marsha Hunt and Ike and Tina Turner were doing this to our despair. But time mellows ones objections and I've included some of the said genre.
Three months after the stage show Hair opened, Hunt was on the cover of British high fashion magazine Queen, the first black model to appear on their cover. In 1968, Hunt posed nude for photographer Patrick Lichfield after opening night for Hair and the photo appeared on the cover of British Vogue's January 1969 issue.
Almost 40 years later Hunt again posed nude for Litchfield, recreating the pose for her Vogue Magazine cover five weeks after she had had her right breast and lymph glands removed to halt the spread of cancer.The photo appeared on the cover of her 2005 book, Undefeated, about her battle with cancer.
She was pleased to work with the photographer under such differing circumstances, though in her autobiography she expressed confusion as to why the photo has been so often reprinted. Hunt has also been photographed by Lewis Morley, Horace Ove, and Robert Taylor.
