On Friday, July 5, The Stones played The Ricky Tick Club, at the Star and Garter Hotel in Windsor and because they needed to leave London early on Sunday morning to drive to Birmingham, they canceled a Saturday night gig that they were due to play in King’s Lynn, in Norfolk, on England’s east coast.Īmong the other artists on TYLS in the week of The Stones’ first TV appearance were guest DJ Jimmy Henney, along with singers Helen Shapiro, Mickie Most, Johnny Cymbal, Patsy Ann Noble, and two other groups, The Cadets, an Irish showband, and The Viscounts. They also bought blue shirts, black knit ties, and blue leather waistcoats.
They were asked to wear ‘uniforms’ of some description.” His solution to this was to take them shopping in Soho before their TV appearance.Ī couple of weeks before they were to appear, Loog Oldham took them to Carnaby Street, where they were measured for black trousers, and black and white dogtooth jackets with black velvet collars. The band’s TV debut was to be broadcast on July 13, but there was just one problem: According to Andrew Loog Oldham, their manager, “If dressed the way they wanted, they wouldn’t have been allowed inside the TV studios. Following Written in the Stars and Hang the Moon, national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur pens another steamy queer rom-com about former best friends. Each week singers and bands were featured, miming to their latest recordings in a contrived, and somewhat staid set, even for the time.īy the time The Stones were asked to appear on TYLS, it was well established. The format of TYLS was both predictable and very safe. Thank Your Lucky Stars first appeared on British television screens in 1961 in direct competition with the BBC’s pop programme, Juke Box Jury. The show’s producers agreed to have the band come to Alpha Studios in Aston, Birmingham to record an appearance on July 7, 1963. The obvious choice was Thank Your Lucky Stars, which was the most important pop programme on British television at the time.
It was released on June 7, and Decca and the band’s management feverishly set about trying to get them on British television to promote their record.
Their presence was secured by Dick James, the former singer turned impresario who later garnered a huge fortune after becoming The Beatles’ publisher.In early May 1963, The Rolling Stones were at the old Olympic Studio in Carton Street in London’s West End, to record their first single, a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Come On” – at 1 minute and 45 seconds, it was typical of so many beat group singles that were being made in the wake of The Beatles success, and not much like the kind of blues songs they were playing in the London clubs. Thank Your Lucky Stars was a hugely popular programme at the time, and it was a major coup for The Beatles to be appearing. The group’s performance was broadcast on Saturday 19 January, at the close of the programme’s first half prior to the commercial break. They performed just one song, ‘Please Please Me’. The Beatles were at the bottom of a seven-act bill. Musicians typically mimed in front of a live studio audience seated in the former circle of the converted cinema. It started in April 1961 and featured many top music performers of the day. Thank Your Lucky Stars was ITV’s answer to the BBC’s Juke Box Jury. A Lucky Star can be Good or Bad So, if the overall balance of influence at the time of your birth was overwhelmingly positive for your astral conjunction, it means your birth and your entire life will be under a kind of Lucky Star. ABC supplied programmes for the Midlands and the north of England the Alpha Studios were jointly owned by ABC and ATV, which could be seen in the Midlands during the week and in London at weekends. The programme was made by ABC Television for the ITV network. The group’s performance was recorded on this day at the Alpha Television Studios – later known as the ATV Studios – in Aston, Birmingham. The Beatles made their most important television appearance to date, with a place on the bill for the popular show Thank Your Lucky Stars.
