“We would stay for an hour or two sometimes. When some of the artists like (Eric) Clapton and (Pete) Townshend started to get a bit richer, they would have little places in the country and we would go down to see them and spend all day listening to music, chatting and walking around. We were all a group of friends because everybody was starting out, everybody was helping everybody else. It was more like a family affair really.”

Wentzell was the principal photojournalist for Melody Maker from 1965-75, a period he calls a “decade long party.” He likely could have boosted his own reputation by snapping compromising shots of rock musicians as they engaged in the somewhat clichéd “sex, drugs, and rock-’n’-roll” lifestyle, but Wentzell, refreshingly, wasn’t in it for the money or the fame. Unlike many of today’s tabloid-crazed photographers seeking the most scandalous payday, he had genuine love and affection for the music and the musicians who shaped popular culture in the 60s and 70s. Many of his images have been adapted to album covers and concert posters.
Poet, novelist, singer-songwriter, musician, Leonard Cohen was born in Montreal in 1934. He has been inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and awarded the Governor General’s Award for Lifetime Achievement in addition to several other honours.
