Bob Gruen is the foremost photographer of rock, documenting the art form’s evolution for over 40 years, from the early years of musicians like Bob Dylan and Ike and Tina Turner to the heyday of the seminal music club CBGB to the present-day performances of bands like Green Day. He became John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s personal photographer, and snapped arguably the most famous picture of the former Beatle.

“The thing about Bob is that he’s always really loved the music and really enjoys going places,” says friend and frequent subject Debbie Harry, who wrote the foreword.

Many of Gruen’s best photos from his decades as a rock photographer are collected in his new book, Rock Seen — and LIFE has a preview of the book here.
