 Sir Michael Philip “Mick” Jagger (born 26 July 1943) is an English musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist and a founding member of The Rolling Stones. Jagger gained much press notoriety for admitted drug use and romantic involvements, and was often portrayed as a counterculture figure. In the late 1960s Jagger began acting in films (starting with Performance and Ned Kelly), to mixed reception. In 1985, Jagger released his first solo album, She’s the Boss, and was knighted in 2003. In early 2009, he joined the eclectic supergroup SuperHeavy.

Jagger’s career has spanned over fifty years. His performance style has been said to have “opened up definitions of gendered masculinity and so laid the foundations for self-invention and sexual plasticity which are now an integral part of contemporary youth culture”.  Allmusic has described Jagger as “one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll”. His distinctive voice and performance, along with Keith Richards’ guitar style, have been the trademark of The Rolling Stones throughout the career of the band.

The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band, formed in London in April 1962 by Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica, guitar), and Keith Richards (guitar, vocals). Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early line-up. R&B and blues cover songs dominated the Rolling Stones’ early material, but their repertoire has always included rock and roll. Critic and musicologist Robert Palmer attributes the Rolling Stones’ endurance and relevance to having been “rooted in traditional verities, in rhythm-and-blues and soul music” while “more ephemeral pop fashions have come and gone”. The Rolling Stones have been credited for the greater international popularity of the primitive urban blues typified by Chess Records’ artists such as Muddy Waters, who wrote “Rollin’ Stone”, the song from which the band got its name.

Jones first led the band until Jagger and Richards assumed leadership after teaming as songwriters. By 1969 Jones’ diminishing contributions to the band and his inability to tour led to him leaving the band three weeks before he drowned in his swimming pool. His replacement Mick Taylor stayed with the band until 1974, and was replaced by Ronnie Wood. Wyman retired from the band in 1993; his replacement Darryl Jones has not been made a full member. Stewart was taken from the official line-up in 1963 and continued as the band’s road manager and occasional pianist until his death in 1985. Since 1982, Chuck Leavell has been the band’s primary keyboardist.

First popular in Europe, the Rolling Stones quickly became successful in North America during the British Invasion of the mid 1960s. Having released 22 studio albums in the United Kingdom (24 in the United States), nine live albums (ten in the US), and numerous compilations, their worldwide sales are estimated at more than 200 million albums.  Sticky Fingers (1971) began a string of eight consecutive studio albums reaching number one in the United States. Their most recent album of entirely new material, A Bigger Bang, was released in 2005. In 1989, the Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004, they ranked number 4 in Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.  In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked the Rolling Stones at number ten on “The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists”, and as the second most successful group in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Formed in 1962 The Rolling Stones still rule the waves for the greatest Rock and Roll Band in history. In 1965 photographer Gered Mankowitz had the honour of photographing the band members in London.

First popular in the UK and Europe and later conquered the US with 22 studio albums in the UK and 24 in the US, eight concert albums in the UK and 9 in the US- all selling 200 million albums worldwide. Tracks include; Route 66, Brown Sugar, Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Woman, (I can’t get no) Satisfaction, Ruby Tuesday, It’s only Rock ‘N’ Roll (but I like it).

The band originally consisted of multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart and joined by vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, drummer Charlie Watts and Bassist Bill Wyman. Ian Stewart then took a step from the official lineup to become their road manager and keyboardist until 1985 when he sadly passed away. Mick Taylor replaced Brian Jones shortly before Jones’s tragic and premature death July 1969 at the age of 27. Five years later Ronnie Wood replaced Taylor. Wyman left The Rolling Stones in 1992.
