Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

Everyone had their photo taken with Alice Cooper in his drinking days at some point tbf. Not that he remembers it.

Andy Warhol, Gerard Malanga, and Leigh Taylor-Young (not sure who the curly-haired woman is... don't think it's Viva)

Ultra Violet

Beautiful pic.. But perhaps slightly expected? Don't mean it in snarky smart arse manner and glad you posted it!

Thanks Josefa!

Seeing LTY with the Factory gang was slightly surprising. I assume the pic happened during the production of I Love You, Alice B. Toklas, since Warhol's painting the thigh tat she sports (on her other leg) in the movie.

I don't know how embed FB images but here's Tricky with Jeff Goldblum

(if that'll work at all)

Bono must be standing on a box, he's not that much taller than Michael Higgins.

Might just be standing on Boaby's foot.

"If I have seen further it is by standing on the foot of Boaby"

LOL

Seconded

Yeah, that is both excellent and inspirational - if we can get a generation standing on the feet of Boaby then he'll have a harder time making albums.

Brian Wilson and the cast of Cats.

Micky Dolenz second only to Alice Cooper when it comes to attending parties in LA in the 70s.

that top is kind of gilding the lily, no?

Remembering #LittleRichard today... Bruce and I were so lucky and honored to have him officiate our wedding back in 1987 — thankful for the memories. Rest easy ❤️ pic.twitter.com/MFU347Ogij

Little Richard, Tammy Wynette, and George Jones.

George was a huge fan, and legend has it a tribute album he cut on Richard back in the '70s is rotting unreleased in a vault somewhere in Nashville.

Man, how tall was James Brown?

5'5''

Get on up.
