I know I'm resurrecting an old post, but I stopped reading this a while ago. I was too late for this one, but Romero also made documentaries in the 1970s. They were primarily about on topic. What was it?

Continuing on the British Invasion: While the Stones didn't really break out in America until 1965, they were the first band to perform on Britain's long-running music show, "Top of the Pops." What song did the band play to open the show's premier on Jan. 1, 1964?

Nobody's going to guess this, so I'll just give the answer. I stumbled across it on Wikipedia. The Stones recorded a single of The Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man" that reached No.13 on the UK charts in '64. That's the song they performed on "Top of the Pops."
