John Pruitt

As an indication of Pruitt's popularity, a four-page photo spread of him was the first one featured in the 1992 Colt Studio special issue, "The Anniversary Album, Volume 2,"* and out of the 50 models included in that issue, Pruitt was the only one with such a large spread.  The issue also included fellow Colt superstars Al Parker and Steve Kelso, so the competition was keen for such an extensive feature.  Fittingly, Pruitt is also the last model shown in the final issue in the series, "The Anniversary Album, Volume 4"(1993), subtitled "The Great Physiques."  Steve's posts above include almost all the photos included in these two issues.

In Pruitt's spread in the second volume, photographer Jim French wrote, "When we began our work together [in 1984], big JOHN was just leaving the Marine Corps: in his dress uniform he was the most blinding male I'd ever seen ...."  (A photo of Pruitt in his Marine Dress Blues would be priceless.)  And in the Winter 2004 special issue, "Colt: The Men. The Myth. The Muscles.," French is quoted saying that Pruitt "... was the kind of person who elicits the sounds of dropped flatware in a restaurant." 

Under the pseudonym Rip Colt, Jim French co-founded Colt Studio in 1967 and was its guiding hand until he sold it to John Rutherford, former owner of Falcon Studios, in 2003.  During the "classic years" of French's ownership, Colt emphasized masculinity and the model's ability to project that image on camera above all else:  Models varied in build from attractive to potentially competitive bodybuilders.  Most models were smooth, but some of the most popular ones were bears, too (like Frank Kelso and Pete Kuzak).  Endowment was not an especially important criterion, although plenty of their models were very gifted in that respect.  (Pruitt is certainly endowed very nicely, but he's not horse-hung like some other Colt and Falcon models of the same era.)  The same applied to not needing an erection for their photos and, in a few cases, even to not being shown completely nude.  Age didn't seem to matter, either.  A very small number of French's models were quite young (early 20s), but most were more mature.  And while many of their models were handsome (like Pruitt) or very good-looking, that wasn't a particularly important consideration in selection, either.  (Few would consider "Ledermeister" or "Moose" even marginally good-looking, but they were Colt classics, especially "Ledermeister."  Pruitt simply stood out on all criteria, especially physical beauty. 

French's emphasis on masculinity was in stark contrast to other studios and publishers, who tended to emphasize attractiveness and/or endowment size, with some exceptions, and youth above all.  Alas, despite his pledges to maintain Colt's traditional standards, John Rutherford soon transformed the studio to look much more like Falcon than like Colt's former aesthetic.  Gone were all the classic models, replaced by much younger, typically prettier porn performers, like Brandon Bangs and Dylan Roberts.  Printed products were drastically reduced, with the new emphasis being on hard-core videos and DVDs.  Although Colt had produced some hard-core and soft-core DVDs under French's ownership, they were never his primary focus.  He emphasized the print products, like calendars and magazine collections of high-quality photos.  By 2010, Rutherford's Colt Studio Group had gone into bankruptcy and is now under new ownership.  Among other debts, Rutherford reportedly couldn't complete payments to French for the purchase of Colt!

Steve mentioned in his 4 June post that before modeling for Colt, Pruitt's name was Jim Yount.  Yount is a member of Drury University's Athletics Hall of Fame, with an impressive set of accomplishments, including leading Drury's swimming team to its first national championship and holding several individual records.  His college-age photo on Drury's Hall of Fame Website definitely resembles Pruitt, although it's only thumbnail size:

(Ah, the fantasies that provokes about being in the team's locker room and showers after practices!)

He graduated from Drury in 1981, which is consistent with completing an enlistment in the Marines and beginning his work with Jim French in 1984, as mentioned above.  As Steve also mentioned, he also starred as Yount in a set of fitness VHS videotape recordings, along with Jeff DeYoung, who later also became a Colt model.  Used copies of three of these VCR tapes are still available from Amazon.com through secondary sellers.  See

http://www.amazon.com/Building-Body-Beautiful-ARMS-women/dp/B00000I23E/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_1

and

http://www.amazon.com/Building-Body-Beautiful-Chest-Shoulders/dp/6300185753/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_1

That's almost certainly Pruitt on the first and second covers below.  The photo on the cover of the "Chest, Shoulders & Back" video may be DeYoung.  (You can also find the tapes on Amazon.com by searching for "Jim Yount.")  According to Amazon.com, these tapes were released in 1992.

A post on the old AM site mentioned that Yount's LinkedIn.com profile listed him as working in the financial industry in California, being married, and having two children.  I verified that LinkedIn profile about two years ago, but it didn't have a profile photo.  When I checked again recently, the profile had been deleted.  He's now listed on Ryze.com, but again, there's no profile photo and no mention of a family.  (With increased concerns over Internet privacy, the latter isn't surprising.)

* Note:  The Colt anniversary album names shown above are the names each issue is copyrighted under.  The cover pages of the "volumes" read differently:  "The Anniversary Albums,  The 50 Superstars - Part 1 [2, etc.]."

Steve posted photo #1 below above.  #2 is another shot in the same setting, but sans jockstrap (and in a smaller format and file size, unfortunately).  The next two are from the old AM site.John_Pruitt_by_Jim_French_0676_adonis.th  John_Pruitt_by_Jim_French_0677.thumb.jpg

 

The last 2 images are definitely by photographer Jim French (aka Rip Colt).  The other photos may be, too, but no attribution was given.

oh god, John Pruitt was definitely the cream of the crop in the COLT spectrum. being a professional photographer meself, the shoots was so intense to a point you can almost feel it's a "boyfriend" level of work which might too explain the relationship of the two. ^_- and talking about Jim French, one of me mates actually got to shoot by him as a birthday present back then, for a rather high end of a moderate sum of course. hehehhe....

come to think of it,

Anyone who's had shooting experience with Mr. Jim French too? Any chance to share with us? ^^

many thanx for the wealth of information about this exceedingly handsome stud. sorry to say, he is what I would term on the margin of mainstream, and mainstream models do not do porn. fwiw, I have had several delectable shoots with him. or over him :hubba_hubba-404:

I feel it would be very difficult to see another hunk like John Pruitt who is perfect blend of sex and sensuality with delicacy! Amazing!
