The Rolling Stones are photographed during a rehearsal for ABC's Thank Your Lucky Stars, a TV pop music show in 1964. Active for six decades, the group pioneered the gritty, heavier-driven sound of the 1960s and has since been one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era.

“I can still see Terry’s twinkling eye through all these years. He captured it all. It’s a very good eye.” – Keith Richards

“My career was just starting out when I first met the Rolling Stones. I was the youngest photographer on Fleet Street and the editors knew I loved music. So I got all the music assignments, and soon enough they started to ask me who to photograph. Musicians in the papers meant the papers sold. It was Andrew Loog Oldham who called me up and asked me to take photos of this new band he was managing. I went down to the Crawdaddy Culb in Richmond to see the band, and I just knew in an instant they were special.”

“I was impressed be The Stones. They were dressed very casually, had mischief in them and were different to the other bands.”

“Terry was everywhere in the 60’s he knew everyone and everything that was happening.” – Keith Richards
