Bob Dylan meeting Sonny and Cher for the first time in Atlantic Studios NYC, 1965

[u/Designer_Reference_2]

photographer Don Paulson was taking shots of Sonny and Cher in the Atlantic Studios in NYC in 1965. According to later details, Dylan unexpectedly “crashed “ the event because he was eager to meet Cher in particular. Cher included several Dylan songs on her albums for the next few years.  Her first Dylan-written hit “All I Really Want To Do,” was released in June, 1965, and it hit US #15, and UK #9. Her album came out in August of 1965, and also included “Don’t Think Twice,” and “Blowin’ In The Wind.

Sonny looks like a stable boy from medieval Slovakia.

Was gonna say. Never like that.

[u/Lolomelon → u/__MeatyClackers__]

Most sincere from him I’ve seen.

[u/Freepi → u/Jared_Sparks]

I'm guessing they were all really high.

[u/Theonlykd → u/Jared_Sparks]

I came here to say how this may be the first Dylan smile I’ve ever seen!

[u/bebop9998 → u/Jared_Sparks]

Every 7 full moons. It's a tradition for him.

I wonder where Sunny lands on the “punching up” all time rankings….

[u/FlyingMacheteSponser → u/xkonerox]

Right up there with Lyle Lovett, I'd say.

The hoverest of hands.

Bob doin the ol' reach around Sonny to point out Cher, the talent of that duo, while also indicating he "...was eager to meet Cher in particular."

[u/MisterBigDude]

“I got you, babe.”

“It ain’t me, babe.”

[u/12thsspanzer]

I could never work out what Cher saw in sunny !!! He was punching right above his weight , Cher was stunning but he looked like jacket potato

[u/notguiltybrewing → u/12thsspanzer]

He was the mastermind behind the scenes who made them successful.
