Kevin Ayers in the Seventies in London by Kate Simon

After hearing about Kevin Ayer's very recent passing, Kate Simon was kind enough to send me this beautiful shot of him from the 1970's. She said, "I photographed him innumerable times, and was at the historic June 1, 1974 show he did at The Rainbow with Cale, Nico, and Eno.  He was a stunning musical and personal presence."

Thanks Kate!

Kevin Ayers RIP
