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

I didn't know where to put this, but I just found out that the cover model on the Bill Evans Trio's Moonbeams is Nico. Yes that Nico.

Where is Tuomas when you need him?

I looked her up and I still don't know who that is standing next to Col. Sanders.

Weyes Blood, right?

yes

that is bernie sanders, there on the right

not col. sanders

xp

That's what Weyes Blood looks like? She looks about 14!

Most people look 14 when standing next to Papa Bernie

^ Salvador Dali, Walt Disney

Salvador has a coat on, but Walt Disnae.

Yeah Natalie Mering looks younger than her age (around 32) but on that picture it's particularly striking.
Lovely picture anyway !

Oscar Peterson, Anthony Burgess:

Cool.

Probably expected, because Texas musicians, but Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's & Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Lewis was involved in Lynott’s solo albums, including a credit for playing harmonica on 1980’s Solo in Soho. “He became my mentor,” Lewis explained. “We would go down to the King’s Road. He was an amazing guy. He was the best hard-rock performer of his time.”

Had no idea.

Makes me glad to read that.

Not sure if this one made it on here yet

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

Very much a mixed bag for Cáit O'Riordan here

(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.

I imagine they needed to up his medication after that.

It's all showbusiness of course but (l-to-r) Princess Margaret, Eddy Grant (w/ blond hair), Lou Christie, Tiny Tim, Dusty Springfield...
