He certainly was. He and Moon are on the inner sleeve of one of those boozy mid-70s Nilsson albums, Alice probably is as well.

XP Talking about Dolenz & Moon. Flo & Eddie were probably auxiliary members (Kaylan appears in other shots from where that one w/Murray was taken).

Ringo was around a lot too. Mickey Dolenz must have been secretly pouring those Brandy Alexanders into plant pots because he seems to be the only one not to emerge from that scene a complete physical and mental wreck.

Ha, both Flo & Eddie were cropped out of the pic I posted: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9d/b5/f1/9db5f1e11dd7f0b0cf0986f580caae3b.png

The Nilsson bio implied that Dolenz was no slouch on that front.

Flo and Eddie bringing their typical ominous solemnity to that picture, they had to be suppressed.

Morecambe is the balding dude with glasses, pp. super-famous half of a TV comedy double act. Here’s the first of their eleven Ed Sullivan appearances, halfway into a 42-year career.

The Ed Sullivan Show official youtube channel was still posting them (now in color) as recently as September. (The comments are mostly spittle-flecked rage at the American audience for merely laughing, not audibly urinating uncontrollably.)

The fellow on the right is called Porter Wagoner, and was part of a singing duo with Dolly Parton - the picture was taken the last time they sang together, at the third annual Grand Masters Fiddling Contest on June 16, 1974, which the McCartneys were present at.
Which is all very neat, but maybe a bit short of 'would never have expected to be together'
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 23 April 2021 23:45 (three years ago) link
The photo doesn't even show up here if you don't have facebook.
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Saturday, 24 April 2021 00:04 (three years ago) link
It's a picture of Paul McCartney and Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner. Just picture it.
I mean, all of these pictures have clearly been taken at places or events where the participants were "present" at, right? Anyway, I would definitely expect Porter Wagoner to be with Dolly Parton, but I would not have expected either of them in a picture with Paul McCartney.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 24 April 2021 00:05 (three years ago) link
I wouldn't be so sure that people know what Porter Wagoner looks like tbh. And what is Linda, chopped liver?!!?
