Joel Brodsky, “Jim Morrison, the Young Lion.”

STAMFORD, CT.- Album photographer Joel Brodsky, 67, died of a heart attack at his home. He took memorable album photographs of Jim Morrison, Aretha Franklin, Isaac Hayes, B.B. King, Carly Simon, Barry Manilow, Kiss, Iggy Pop and Gladys Knight and the Pips, and many other musicians in the 1960s and '70s.
