Terence Martin "Terry" Taylor (born 28 August 1948) is an English guitarist, arranger and songwriter, who started to become known in the latter half of the 1960s as a band member of the group The End, who had a few singles and also a 1969 album release called Introspection. They were produced by Bill Wyman and the album included Charlie Watts playing tabla on the song Shades of Orange. Taylor was one of the members that then played in the follow-up band Tucky Buzzard, who were produced by Bill Wyman.

After Tucky Buzzard broke up, after an introduction by Wyman, Taylor joined the band Arrows for their second television series, The Arrows Show . After the death of Alan Merrill in March 2020, Taylor is now the last surviving member of Arrows.
Taylor co-founded the band The Rhythm Kings with Wyman in 1997 and is currently a member. [1] [2]

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active across seven decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era.

During their early years, Jones was the primary leader of the band. After Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager in 1963, he encouraged them to write their own songs.
