In the early 70's Stu asked me if I could put a video tape (actually a 16 MM film reel) together of some of his favorite artist. Among the artist I put together for Stu were Art Blakey , Bill Evans, Art Tatum, Eubie Blake, Big Joe Turner and bunch more. He also liked Charlie Parker. The Stu that I knew was a wonderful, polite man
who really seemed to dislike the fame that followed the other band members. He preferred not being attacked trying to walk down the street. I had some really great talks with him about the Stones musical history especially the early days(he had a great memory). He was a avid photographer and had an amazing collection of photos of the band that he took. I hope this helps a little.

They is one in the works I believe. I was contacted over a year ago by someone wanting to put one together. I don't know how far they are right now. Their was a great tribute book on Stu. Published by Genesis Book by Will Nash. It is/was very expensive, something like $800.00 US. There is rare footage of Stu playing bass with the Rolling Stones for the dress rehearsal on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1969. Seems Bill Wyman wasn't there so Stu filled in so the Sullivan camera men cold get their
shots ready for the actual broadcast (aired later). And no I do not have this "very" rare video footage. However there are photos taken from the rehearsal that are out there.

Thanks once again James for the update, and yes it would awesome to see that Stu documentary come to fruition. Please keep us posted. The only solid video I have of Stu playing except on a Stone's song here or there during concerts was the great Ronnie Lane Band concert video at the Rockpalast from 1980. Stu was respectfully showcased by Laney at that gig. Yea, I never could see coughing up $800 for the excellent Genesis publication as much as I was tempted...

Thanks Videojames for the knowledge of Stu's story. Sorry to admit I never really paid much attention to Stu. I read he was cast aside from the spotlight because of his "looks" but I think his looks were bad. What I like most about Stu is that he was OK with it, didn't resent the boys or the fame or anything like that.

how cool would a 'Stu's eye view' of the Stones' rise to fame be. or a new collection of his photos, film, etc. He was absolutely in a unique position as participant/ observer.

That's the one Duke! While I have the dvd in my collection and watch it a few times each year, thanks for posting it for others that might not have seen it, or don't yet have it.
Stu and Laney, two of the all time greats.
