Description

n 1968 Mick Jagger couldn t understand why the Rolling Stones had no money. The man he asked to help was a German prince, a merchant banker. They forged an unlikely alliance which re-invented the business of rock n roll. As a youthquake shook the Establishment, Prince Rupert Loewenstein thrived in both worlds, never relinquishing his elegance or decorum. For nearly forty years Prince Rupert worked with the Stones as a combination of bank manager, psychiatrist and nanny , usually enthralled but often bemused and exasperated.

Coolly impartial, dryly humorous, this is a refreshingly different take on the rock n roll world from within its inner sanctum.
