March 26, 2023 • 65 mins

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, record promoter / press liaison / artistic director TONY KING discusses his seven decades as a behind the scenes figure in rock & roll, whose work proved vital in both the careers and lives of artists like Roy Orbison, John Lennon, Elton John, and most notably The Rolling Stones, as tour press director for over 20 years. From his days as a young man looking after artists for Decca Records, to attending the infamous live taping of The Beatles “All You Need is Love”, to playing an integral role in John Lennon's last live concert appearance joining Elton John on stage in 1974, Tony recounts his amazing rock & roll adventures, as well as his new autobiography “The Tastemaker: My Life with the Legends and Geniuses of Rock Music”. ----------------------------------- ֎ To order “The Tastemaker: My Life with the Legends and Geniuses of Rock Music” visit https://amzn.to/3LOAXhN/ Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ● Homepage – http://www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ● Facebook – https://facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/ ● YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPODCAST ● Instagram - @itsonlyrockandrollpodcast © 2023 Howlaround Productions.
