Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall were two of the famous faces featured on the original layout for the cover of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. The Beatles were advised to get permission from all of the then-living celebrities
for the use of their images on the cover. Of all the people they contacted, Gorcey was reportedly the only one who demanded money
($500) for the use of his likeness. As a result, his likeness was erased from the cover, which explains the empty blue background to the right of Huntz Hall's image in the top right row (Hall appears next to Bob Dylan).
