Streets of Velvet

I saw this on John Cale's Facebook page (via Tim Broun) this morning, and cannot resist sharing. Here's the immaculately cool pair of John Cale and the late Lou Reed, walking south on Fifth Avenue between 43rd and 42nd. Not sure of photographer or year, unfortunately. 

ADDENDUM: Thanks to the Manhattan Before 1990 Facebook page, I can report that this photograph was taken by Joel Meyerowitz, who writes:

I've been looking for this picture for days, ever since I heard about Lou Reed's death. I shot it in 1968 on 5th ave, just casual shot of an interesting looking guy, only to discover later on that it was Lou Reed and John Cale.
