Terry O'Neill was one of the world's most celebrated and collected photographers. No one captured the frontline of fame so broadly—and for so long. Terry O'Neill's Rock 'n' Roll Album contains some of the most famous and powerful music photographs of all time. At the same time, the book includes many intimate personal photos taken 'behind the scenes' and at private functions. Terry O'Neill photographed the giants of the music world—both on and off stage. For more than 50 years, he captured those on the frontlines of fame in public and in private. Many of the photographs will be of David Bowie, Elton John, Led Zepplin, Amy Winehouse, Dean Martin, The Who, Janis Joplin, AC/DC, Eric Clapton, Sammy Davis Jr., The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Chuck Berry, and The Beatles—to name only a few. O'Neill spent more than 30 years photographing Frank Sinatra as his personal photographer, with unprecedented access to the star. He took some of the earliest known photographs of The Beatles and then forged a lifetime relationship with members of the band that allowed him to photograph their weddings and other private moments. It is this contrast between public and private that makes Terry O'Neill's Rock 'n' Roll Album such a powerful document. Without a doubt, Terry O'Neill's work comprises a vital chronicle of rock 'n' roll history. To any fan of music or photography, this book will be a must-buy.
Sir Winston Churchill, statesman, orator, and former Prime Minister was a man whose words gave hope and inspiration to the British people, and many are as relevant today as they were during the war years.
