Rock Talk with Sommer: Conversations with Women in the Music Industry

Margo Z. Nahas is the only female she knows of that was doing album artwork when she was creating cover art for bands like Van Halen, Stevie Wonder, Seals and Crofts and others. Together with her husband Jay Vigon, they’ve worked with and helped to create some of the most iconic music artwork including the cover of Van Halen’s 1984 album cover (the smoking baby), the braille-like cover of Stevie Wonder’s Secret Life of Plants and logos for Tom Petty and Prince’s Purple Rain album cover and film. She shares the story behind the iconic Van Halen cover, and many others including the crank dildo on the set of a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers photo shoot.
