Sally Grossman

Sally Grossman

Sally Grossman (born 1940) was the wife of Bob Dylan's late manager, Albert Grossman. According to some Dylan biographers, including David Hajdu, she introduced Bob Dylan to his first wife Sara, although this claim is disputed by Sara Dylan's stepson (from her first marriage) Peter Lownds in Howard Sounes' Dylan biography, "Down the Highway The Life of Bob Dylan". [Howard Sounes, "Down the Highway: The Life Of Bob Dylan" Doubleday 2001. p200. ISBN 0-552-99929-6] It should be noted that Hajdu's book "Positively 4th Street", is not a Dylan biography as such and the author himself freely admits that he only included Dylan to create interest in the books main character, Richard Farina. Grossman is also the young woman languorously stretched out on the cover of his 1965 album "Bringing It All Back Home". She also appeared briefly in the D.A. Pennebaker documentary, "Dont Look Back".

The album photograph came about after Dylan spent the summer writing and recording at the Grossmans' home. Sally, then 25, took part because "I was around, and Bob just asked me to do it." The photograph was taken by Daniel Kramer in the Woodstock, New York, home where Grossman still lives. The chaise longue in the photograph was a wedding gift to the Grossmans from Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary.

As for the red jersey dress, Grossman says, "I don't think I've worn it again." Now running Woodstock-based Bearsville Records, following the death of her husband, Grossman says, "It's amazing to be on an album cover that people remember 30 years later."
