And Other Delights
Our November Kissa listening party will feature the music of Herb Alpert, so this week's post on album art features the iconic Whipped Cream and Other Delights. Art director Peter Whorf covered model Dolores Erickson, then three months pregnant, in shaving cream (and one dollop of actual whipped cream on her head) to create the unforgettable image of Herb Alpert's 1965 smash hit album. Erickson went back to college in the '70s to study art, eventually becoming a gallery owner; she still paints to this day. This post features her modeling work for other jazz album covers, as well as a few of the MANY imitations from various artists of her Whipped Cream cover.
