Free Music Notes for Lenny Bruce Originals 2 Album
Free Music Review: The Cover Art of the "Togetherness" LP...
Hit: 5 Stars
Lenny Bruce was one of the most brilliant and daring comedians of all time... Especially when he contracted/hired my late aunt Sylvia Mansfield (the Black woman) for $50.00 cash to model on the "Togetherness" LP cover to Lenny's right...
It was quite a story that was past down oral-traditionally to me from my late grandmother (Elizabeth Mansfield) of how Lenny first saw my aunt and my mom (as young post-teenage women) walking down the street of Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, California on a weekend shopping spree in the late 1950's... Moreover, according to my grandmother at the time, she said that Lenny came over to the house one late evening and begged her for a release so that my aunt Sylvia could do the "photo-shoot" for the LP cover-- my grandmother nearly called the police on him...which often seem to be a common trait with Lenny...
The cover art idea for this LP project was timely and extremely controversy for it's time...with Black guys posing under white sheets as "Kans Men..." (*Note, the actual "photo-shoot" was taken in front of the Abe Lincoln statue "up at" the Los Angeles Griffith Park Observatory, 2800 East Observatory Road Los Angeles, CA 90027).
Buy the CD or the original red vinyl LP if you can find it-- it is well worth every penny!
*Footnote, this LP was one of Elvis Presley's favorite comedy LP's...for proof of this, you can view it for yourself at his Graceland home in Nashville, TN, it is in one of his trophy cases...for all you Elvis fans...
