We present a time‐resolved spectral analysis of the bright, long GRB 061007 ( z = 1.261) using  Swift  and  Suzaku  data. We find that the prompt emission of the burst can be equally well explained by a photospheric component together with a power law as by a Band function, and we explore the implications of the former model. The photospheric component, which we model with a multicolour blackbody, dominates the spectra and has a very stable shape throughout the burst. This component provides a natural explanation for the hardness–intensity correlation seen within the burst and also allows us to estimate the bulk Lorentz factor and the radius of the photosphere. The power‐law component dominates the fit at high energies and has a nearly constant slope of −1.5. We discuss the possibility that this component is of the same origin as the high‐energy power laws recently observed in some  Fermi  bursts.
