Details
Bernie Worrell, funk keyboardist and composer, grins with his hands forming possibly the heavy metal rock music gesture on each side of his face of the index fingers and the pinkies being extended while the thumbs and two middle fingers are curled under with the back of the hand to the recipient. His pinky fingernails are painted half purple, half pink in a diagonal. He wears a loose cap with stripes made with purple, white, and denim blue colors of cloth sewn together and purple stars attached to the pieces of cloth. His eyeglasses look like pipes above the lenses. It is a close-up, head-shot photograph. Printed in the margin below the photograph, "Bernie Worrell, bernieworrell.com. Exclusive Management: PurpleWOO Productions, P.O. Box 557, Lebanon, NJ 08833-0557, 908-537-6548/ph, 908-537-7514/fax." Printed in the right margin, "Photo By: Jay Savulich."
