EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of swinging 1960s London, love knows no boundaries. Diane Ferraz and Nicky Scott, an unconventional musical duo, grace the cover of London Life magazine as the featured couple in their 'Who People Are Dating' column. Born in Trinidad, Diane Ferraz, a striking black woman with a powerful voice, and Nicky Scott, a white British man, defied societal norms by performing together in the groundbreaking band, The Ferris Wheel. Their unique collaboration of black female singers with white male performers was an unusual combination at the time, and their romance added another layer of intrigue. The image captures the couple in a playful moment, with Diane wearing a bold, patterned shift dress and Nicky in a smart, tailored suit. Their chemistry is palpable as they share a loving gaze, oblivious to the controversy surrounding their relationship. The magazine's headline reads, "Diane Ferrax and Nicky Scott are really in love," but their interracial romance was met with disapproval from some quarters. Despite the boycotts and criticism, the couple remained steadfast in their love and their music, paving the way for future interracial relationships in the entertainment industry. This photograph, taken in 1966, is a testament to the power of love and the courage of two individuals who dared to challenge the status quo. Taken by renowned photographer Peter Akehurst, this image is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in history, capturing the spirit of the 1960s and the beginning of a new era of acceptance and diversity.
