Shameless Vintage Photos That Are Now Socially Unacceptable

George Harrison & Pattie Boyd: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Love Story (1968)

This intimate 1968 photograph captures Beatles legend George Harrison with his then-wife Pattie Boyd, the muse behind some of rock’s most passionate love songs. The former model and photographer found herself at the center of music history’s most dramatic love triangle when Harrison’s close friend Eric Clapton fell desperately for her, immortalizing his unrequited love in the timeless classic “Layla.”

What began as friendship between the two guitar gods turned complicated when Clapton’s obsession with Boyd inspired an entire album of heart-wrenching blues. After enduring years of Harrison’s infidelities, Boyd eventually left her Beatle husband for Clapton in 1974. Remarkably, the trio maintained an enduring friendship that lasted until Harrison’s death in 2001, proving that even the messiest love stories can find resolution.
