1989’s Back, And It’s Here To Blow Your Mind

1989's Back, And It's Here To Blow Your MindYour eyes are not deceiving you. This recently-unearthed photo features MJ, both Kid AND Play, Will Smith, and some random fifth guy photobombing them*. It's stunning in its 1989-ness.

This might be hard to grasp now, but once upon a time these might have been the five most famous people in the world. Seriously, Kid's hi-top fade at that moment might have been the nexus of all cool in the universe.

Of course this is a stark contrast from today, when only two of these men are the most famous people in the world.
