His career began as a member of Benny Goodman's orchestra. “Popsie” was there for the jump from the studio crafted pop of Tin Pan Alley to the rhythms of rock and roll and the uptown sounds of rhythm & blues into the soul that laid much of the foundation of contemporary music, The range of the material includes: When Frank Sinatra was named "King of the Singers" at The Copa during a broadcast on WINS with comic Phil Silvers officiating. When Elvis Presley came to New York to cut his first records for RCA Victor. Bobby Darin signing with Atlantic Records (for the string of hits that included the smash "Mack the Knife"). When Harry Belafonte entered a New York studio to launch the mid-1950s calypso craze. He also photographed all of the major teen idols through the years from Eddie Fisher and Tab Hunter to Frankie Avalon, Jimmy Clanton and Fabian. Another facet of the "Popsie" style and collection was his affinity for odd couples: Chuck Berry jamming with Trini Lopez ("If I Had a Hammer"); Perry Como at the piano with Brenda Lee; Alan Freed trading one-liners with Salvador Dalí; Count Basie backing up Pat Boone on a TV special; Dr. Joyce Brothers interviewing the Beatles; Welsh singer Tom Jones hanging out with The Rolling Stones during their first visit to America at the New York Playboy Club; Nat "King" Cole meeting composer W. C. Handy ("St. Louis Blues"); Ella Fitzgerald nightclubbing with Billie Holliday. "Popsie" also captured the times when the music world carried over to other areas like sports and politics. He photographed Jackie Robinson and Buddy Johnson when they collaborated on the single "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?"
