The Sam & Dave Horn Section, photographed by Jack Robinson June 28, 1968, at Madison Square Garden in New York. The concert, called 'Soul Together' and sponsored in part by Atlantic Records, gathered the great soul artists of the time together for one concert, with the entire proceeds going to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Fund. Famous for being one of the greatest live shows ever put together, Vogue called the Sam & Dave Horn Section a 'dazzling performance of brass, beat, soul, and dance'.
Born in 1928, Jack Robinson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, attended Tulane University, and pursued photography as a hobby in New Orleans. His early street portraits captured New Orleans' rich culture.
In 1955, he moved to New York, becoming a renowned freelance fashion photographer, even gracing the cover of Life Magazine within four years. In 1965, he joined Vogue Magazine and impressed Diana Vreeland with his portrait work. Jack completed numerous assignments for Vogue over seven years. In 1972, he returned to Memphis to care for his parents, ending his photography career. Later, he excelled in stained glass design.
When he passed away from cancer in 1997, his extensive photographic legacy was discovered, leading to The Jack Robinson Archive and The Robinson Gallery, fulfilling his posthumous wish to preserve his work.
