The Encounter of Two Stars
In the 1960s, The Beatles and Muhammad Ali achieved unprecedented fame with remarkable speed and fervor. Despite their fame arising from different talents, their popularity was equally staggering. The Beatles gained fame through the “British Invasion,” bringing English pop music to the U.S. Conversely, Muhammad Ali’s exceptional boxing prowess gained worldwide recognition.
Ali was also known for expressing his political views, especially in his refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War. In this unique and heartwarming photo, these iconic figures are meeting for the first time. With so much star power in one room, it’s a wonder it didn’t burst.
