She wanted to take her clothes off real bad.” Ellis Amburn book “ Pearl“ġ967 was also the year of Janis Joplin’s breakthrough performance at the Monterey Pop Festival, where she was the lead singer of the then largely unheard of psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company. Her pants were off and suddenly we were taking pictures. Janis, I said, don’t take your f***ing clothes off! It was too late. Quoting Seidemann, “After I’d gotten what I wanted that day,” Janis said, Oh motherf****r! I want to take my f***ing clothes off. He shot several rolls of black and white 35mm film of Janis with a nipple peeking through the beads. According to Seidemann, he’d wanted to shoot Joplin just topless, but she insisted on full nudity.Īsked to describe the scene in his studio the day Janis arrived to pose for the nude poster, Seidemann says that originally the plan was for her to be bare only from the waist up, except for a cape and some beads. The image captures a glimpse of hippie idealism during the late ’60s and ’70s. The photo of Janis Joplin nude became her most iconic image when it was published in Rolling Stone Magazine after her death in 1972. ![]() Click HERE for The Best Janis Joplin Music, Merch & Memorabilia! “Standing Nude”
