Honoring the legacy of Pride with our twist on ‘Abbey Road’ TAMMYE NASH | Managing EditorNash@dallasvoice.com It was Friday, Aug.
8, 1969 — less than two months after the queers made history at the Stonewall Inn in New York City — when four famous British guys made a little bit of history of their own just by walking across a street in London.
George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon — aka The Beatles — were at EMI Studios to work on what would be the final album they recorded together. (Let It Be was issued later but had been recorded before this album.) But before they got down to business, they went outside with photographer Iain Macmillan to shoot the cover for the album — the iconic cover of Abbey Road.
The cover photo shows the four men crossing Abbey Road, walking away from EMI Studios, at a black-and-white striped crosswalk.
