Björn Borg, the first ‘rock star’ of professional tennis surrounded by doting fans at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Note: Image unearthed January 2013. Published Text: Borg-Mania Plea to Girls – Lovesick fans of Swedish tennis idol Björn Borg have been told to keep calm at Wimbledon. “We don’t want to turn Wimbledon into a pop concert,” says Major David Mills, secretary of the organising All England Tennis Club. He has written to more than 60 girls’ schools asking their headmistresses to use their influence to keep the girls under control. At last year’s tournament, hundreds of teenage girls mobbed their 18-year-old heart throb every time he appeared. This year Major Mills is taking no chances with Borg-mania. Extra stewards and police have been called in. “It’s very disturbing for the players and annoying for the other spectators who come to watch the tennis,” he said. Camera: Leica 35mm.

‘What A Wonderful World’ by Arthur Steel Paper size: 20 x 13 inches / 51 x 33 cm Framing options available. Note: Image unearthed January 2013. Arthur recalls: “Heathrow’s press officer led me to the departure lounge where Louis and his wife were seated. Their luggage, including his trumpets, were already checked in and so initially I was a little lost as to what I could do to create a good shot. I put the idea to him that if he pretended to play the trumpet it might make a winning picture, luckily for me he cheerfully agreed. I only took two frames and just knew that I had a magical shot in the bag. A short while later the couple were boarding the plane and they kindly gave me a wonderful farewell wave picture too.” Camera: Leica 35mm. Film stock: Kodak Tri-X Pan.

Copyright: © Arthur Steel / The Arthur Steel Archive. Biography: In 1964 Louis Armstrong recorded his biggest selling record “Hello Dolly” (a song that he had forgotten even recording!). The song went to No.1 on the pop chart, making Armstrong (age 63) the oldest person to ever accomplish that feat. Spurred by the unexpected worldwide success Louis was suddenly in demand for every television venue available. A new generation of music buyers were handed a hearty introduction to the King of Jazz, though for many it was a long time before they could hope to grasp his importance. His last big hit, “What a Wonderful World”, didn’t really leave it’s mark until it’s inclusion in the film ‘Good Morning Vietnam’, 16 years after he had passed away. Arthur Steel photographed Louis Armstrong at London’s Heathrow Airport just before he boarded an Airplane destined for his home, The United States of America. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the heart and soul of Louis Armstrong: Anytime he appeared on film, played on stage, or performed on record, it was, indeed, a wonderful, wonderful world. Louis Daniel Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed Satchmo, Satch, and Pops, was an American trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor who was one of the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and different eras in the history of jazz. In 2017, he was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. Armstrong was born and raised in New Orleans. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an “inventive” trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. Around 1922, he followed his mentor, Joe “King...
