Dylan's first major relationship was with Suze Rotolo, a young artist and daughter of radicals living in Greenwich Village. The musician was instantly smitten, later writing, "Right from the start I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was the most erotic thing I'd ever seen... The air was suddenly filled with banana leaves. We started talking and my head started to spin."

Dylan charmed Rotolo, who remembered him as "funny, engaging and persistent." They quickly moved in together, against the wishes of her parents. In light of the guarded persona he developed later, it's striking to see his openness with her in the many pictures of them together. (Even the fact that many pictures exist is striking, actually.) But his mystique was already in play; Rotolo didn't learn his real name until his draft card fell out of his wallet.

The most famous of these photos is the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, which also contains several songs about Rotolo, including "Don't Think Twice It's All Right," possibly the greatest breakup song of the 1960s.
