Former Location-

Cyrus Faryar, a member of the Modern Folk Quartet rented a place called The Farm, which was nothing more than a small commune with little sheds and barns. It was located behind what are now the Oakwood At Toluca Hills Apartments where Rick James died.

In 1969, Henry Diltz was asked to create publicity shots for a newcomer named James Taylor. Henry was a friend of Cyrus and suggested to James that they finish their photo shoot at his commune. One of the dozens of pictures taken that day became the cover of James’ second album, “Sweet Baby James”  which was released in February 1970 by Warner Brothers Records.

The album  reached #3 on the Billboard Album Charts and has been certified 3X Platinum (more then 3,000,000 sold) by the RIAA.
