Jim Marshall - Photograher of Rock Legends

Jim Marshall spent nearly 50 years capturing images of rock and roll icons from the Beatles to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Mr. Marshall, 74, was found dead in a hotel room in New York City on March 22, 2010. His death was ruled from natural causes. He was scheduled to appear at a gallery to promote his new book with celebrity photographer Timothy White.

The San Francisco resident had more than 500 rock album covers to his credit. His most iconic images are from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock in 1969 and the late Jimi Hendrix lighting his guitar on fire at Monterey.
