Publisher's Synopsis
"Terry was everywhere in the '60s - he knew everything and everyone that was happening" Keith Richards
Terry
O'Neill (1938-2019) 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 fifty years he captured those on the frontline of fame in
public and in private. David Bowie, Elton John, Led Zepplin, Amy
Winehouse, Dean Martin, The Who, Janis Joplin, AC/DC, Eric Clapton,
Sammy Davis Jnr., 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.
"Trusted by the stars to make them look good, O'Neill has captured the icons of music for over half a century. ...Terry O'Neill's Rock 'N' Roll Album, collects a wealth of private moments and memories captured for eternity, with the likes of David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen Led Zeppelin, Amy Winehouse and even Elvis Presley all the subject of O'Neill's immaculately placed lens. A life in pictures, a legacy in print. Pay heed to history!" - Simon Harper, Clash Magazine
