Catch the Beat: The Police, Run DMC

In the late 1970s, Janette Beckman and David Corio were freelance photographers for rival music weeklies in London: Melody Maker and New Musical Express, respectively. These were the largest circulation music papers, both hugely influential in a particularly fertile time in underground scene -- up-and-coming bands were desperate to grace their pages. "Catch the Beat: The Roots of Punk and Hip Hop Photographs" is a new exhibit at New York's Morrison Hotel Gallery that collects some of their more iconic images. Beckman shot this photo for the cover of the Police's first album, "Outlandos d'Amour," in a tunnel on London's South Bank in 1978. ( © Janette Beckman/Courtesy Morrison Hotel Gallery )
