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.

NME Poll winners show in 1966 the Rolling Stones performed Paint It Black, Play With Fire & Satisfaction. This show was televised except for the Rolling Stones & Beatles performances.

Yes,this is true. Dick Taylor told me this when we spoke years ago. Also when I spoke with Keith Richards he confirmed Mick missing a gig. The date is not 100%, but very close if it is off. As you know Brian had wanted Paul Jones to be the singer in the Stones. When the Stones had the demo tape rejected because they sounded "to colored". Jones told the guy we can replace the singer. S
