Harry Goodwin, a former Top Of The Pops photographer, dead

Harry Goodwin, an ace photographer who snapped some of pop music's biggest names including The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, has died.
He was 89.
Goodwin, who died yesterday after a short illness, was resident photographer at BBC's Top of the Pops from 1964 to 1973.
Stars he captured included The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson.
"Harry had a wonderful talent and was a truly great photographer," Goodwin's agent Stuart Littlewood was quoted as saying by the BBC.
Little, the managing director of Handshake Ltd, said Goodwin's career had taken a "remarkable twist" in the past 15 years with his photographs exhibited in venues ranging from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

"He had a fantastic life and never had any serious illness until the last few weeks.

"I was told at Trafford General Hospital that they had never seen one patient have so many visitors or phone calls.
"He's had calls from Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Paul McCartney and Barry Gibb," Little said.
Mike McCartney, who first met Goodwin when his band The Scaffold were on TOTP, said: "He was an amazing character and had an incredible knack of putting big stars at ease, which helped him produce really memorable images.
"When he'd finished taking his pictures he'd always say "Thanks - that's a Rembrandt that one.."

Tim Burgess lead singer of The Charlatans tweeted: "Sad to hear of the death of Harry Goodwin - a true unsung hero of music photography."
Born in Manchester Goodwin started his working life in his father's bookmaking business, having served in the armed forces during World War II.
In 1964 he became in-house photographer for Top Of The Pops when it was filmed in Manchester at its studio on Dickenson Road.
