['Richard Havers']

Photo: Evening Standard/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesIn August 1964 Andrew Loog Oldham said, “We (he and Eric Easton) didn’t make the Stones stars, the public did.
Born on January 29, 1944, Loog Oldham was the son of a Texan US Air Force lieutenant, Andrew Loog, and an Australian nurse, Celia Oldham.
As a teenager, Loog Oldham worked for Mary Quant before he was employed by The Beatles through Brian Epstein’s NEMS organization.
As Andrew said, “Eric was grey-haired, grey-suited, and in his mid-thirties.” The total antithesis of Andrew Loog Oldham.
But make no mistake, without Andrew Loog Oldham, today there would be no Rolling Stones as we know them.
