Who Am I?
My Name is Cliff Malloy and I’ve been involved in the music industry and research for nearly 50 years.
In the early 90’s after working in record stores (Remember those?) I purchased myself a camera and started to shoot events as well as models. In the early 2000’s while working for the Grammy Foundation, I met Michael Randolph who’s father was none other than William “PoPsie” Randolph. Together we published 3 books and built the website PoPsiephotos.com during the course of 25 years.
Last year I started to purchase the works of other music based photographers who like “PoPsie” loved music and took many images in the cramped small clubs all around America. I also purchased the rights and negatives to the Official Photos Company who during WWII and immediately afterwards worked with many of the motion picture companies and had the celebrities autograph the images before they were reproduced.
And lastly, I’ve been purchasing estates with many non-musical images and have discovered some real treasures!
