As the lead singer for the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger was one of

the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock &
roll. Jagger fronted the Rolling Stones for over 20 years before he
began a solo career in 1985. At the time of the release of his
debut solo album, She`s the Boss, it appeared that the Stones may
have been approaching the end of their career, but it soon
transpired that Jagger`s solo career would run concurrently with
that of the band`s. Over the next decade, he released a string of
solo albums, none of which achieved the commercial success of
the Stones` less popular releases.

During the early `80s, Jagger and Keith Richards -- the rhythm
guitarist and co-songwriter in the Rolling Stones -- conflicted over
the musical direction of the band. Jagger wanted to move the band
in a more pop and dance-oriented direction while Richards
wanted to stay true to the band`s rock & roll and blues roots. By 1984, Jagger had begun recording
a solo album where he pursued a more mainstream, dance-inflected pop direction. The resulting
album, She`s the Boss, was released in 1985. Jagger filmed a number of state-of-the-art videos for
the album, which all received heavy airplay from MTV, helping propel the record`s first single, "Just
Another Night," to number 12 and the album to platinum status. "Lucky In Love," the second single
from the album scraped the bottom of the Top 40. In the summer of 1985, Jagger and David Bowie
recorded a cover of Martha & the Vandellas` "Dancing in the Street" for the Live Aid organization.
The single peaked at number seven on the U.S. pop charts; all the proceeds from its sale were
donated to Live Aid.

Around the same time the Rolling Stones released their 1986 album, Dirty Work, Jagger released
the theme song from the movie Ruthless People as a single and told Richards that the Stones would
not tour to support Dirty Work. For the next few years, Jagger and Richards barely spoke to each
other and sniped at the other in the press. During this time, Jagger tried to make his solo career as
successful as the Rolling Stones, pouring all of his energy into his second solo album, 1987`s
Primitive Cool. Although the album received stronger reviews than She`s the Boss, only one of the
singles -- "Let`s Work" -- scraped the bottom of the Top 40 and the record didn`t go gold.

Following the commercial failure of Primitive Cool, Jagger returned to the fold of the Rolling Stones
in 1989, recording, releasing, and touring the Steel Wheels album. Steel Wheels was a massively
successful venture and after the tour was completed, the Stones entered a slow period, where each
of the members pursued solo projects. Jagger recorded his third solo album with Rick Rubin, who
had previously worked with the Beastie Boys and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The resulting solo album,
Wandering Spirit, was released in 1993 and received the strongest reviews of any of Jagger`s solo
efforts. The album entered the U.S. charts at number 11 and went gold the year it was released. A
year after the release of Wandering Spirit, the Stones reunited and released Voodoo Lounge,
supporting the album with another extensive international tour. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine


By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the

World`s Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the late `60s, they had
already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the
self-consciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat
of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the
gritty, hard-driving blues-based rock & roll that came to define
hard rock. With his preening machismo and latent maliciousness,
Mick Jagger became the prototypical rock frontman, tempering
his macho showmanship with a detached, campy irony, while
Keith Richards and Brian Jones wrote the blueprint for sinewy,
interlocking rhythm guitars. Backed by the strong, yet subtly
swinging rhythm section of bassist Bill Wyman and drummer
Charlie Watts, the Stones became the breakout band of the
British blues scene, eclipsing such contemporaries as the Animals
and Them. Over the course of their career, the Stones never really abandoned blues, but as soon as
they reached popularity in the U.K., they began experimenting musically, incorporating the British
pop of contemporaries like the Beatles, Kinks and Who into their sound. After a brief dalliance with
psychedelia, the Stones re-emerged in the late `60s as a jaded, blues-soaked hard rock quintet. The
Stones always flirted with the seedy side of rock & roll, but as the hippie dream began to break
apart, they exposed and reveled in the new rock culture. It wasn`t without difficulty, of course.
Shortly after he was fired from the group, Jones was found dead in a swimming pool, while at a
1969 free concert at Altamont, a concertgoer was brutally murdered during the Stones` show. But
the Stones never stopped going. For the next thirty years, they continued to record and perform, and
while their records weren`t always blockbusters, they were never less than the most visible band of
their era -- certainly, none of their British peers continued to be as popular or productive as the
Stones. And no band since has proven to have such a broad fan base or far-reaching popularity, and
it is impossible to hear any of the groups that followed them without detecting some sort of influence,
whether it was musical or aesthetic.

Throughout their career, Mick Jagger (vocals) and Keith Richards (guitar, vocals) remained at the
core of the Rolling Stones. The pair initially met as children at Dartford Maypole County Primary
School. They drifted apart over the next ten years, eventually making each other`s acquaintance
again in 1960, when they met through a mutual friend, Dick Taylor, who was attending Sidcup Art
School with Richards. At the time, Jagger was studying at the London School of Economics and
playing with Taylor in the blues band Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Shortly afterward, Richards
joined the band. Within a year, they had met Brian Jones (guitar, vocals), a Cheltenham native who
had dropped out of school to play saxophone and clarinet. By the time he became a fixture on the
British blues scene, Jones had already had a wild life. He ran away to Scandinavia when he was 16;
by that time, he had already fathered two illegitimate children. He returned to Cheltenham after a few
months, where he began playing with the Ramrods. Shortly afterward, he moved to London. where
he played in Alexis Korner`s group, Blues Inc. Jones quickly decided he wanted to form his own
group and advertised for members; among those he recruited was the heavyset blues pianist Ian
Stewart.

As he played with his group, Jones also moonlighted under the name Elmo Jones at the Ealing Blues
Club. At the pub, he became reacquainted with Blues, Inc., which now featured drummer Charlie
Watts, and, on occasion, cameos by Jagger and Richards. Jones became friends with Jagger and
Richards, and they soon began playing together with Dick Taylor and Ian Stewart; during this time,
Mick was elevated to the status of Blues Inc.`s lead singer. With the assistance of drummer Tony
Chapman, the fledgling band recorded a demo tape. After the tape was rejected by EMI, Taylor left
the band to attend the Royal College of Art; he would later form the Pretty Things. Before Taylor`s
departure, the group named themselves the Rolling Stones, borrowing the moniker from a Muddy
Waters song.

The Rolling Stones gave their first performance at the Marquee Club in London on July 12, 1962. At
the time, the group consisted of Jagger, Richards, Jones, pianist Ian Stewart, drummer Mick Avory
and Dick Taylor, who had briefly returned to the fold. Weeks after the concert, Taylor left again and
was replaced by Bill Wyman, formerly of the Cliftons. Avory also left the group -- he would later
join the Kinks -- and the Stones hired Tony Chapman, who proved to be unsatisfactory. After a few
months of persuasion, the band recruited Charlie Watts, who had quit Blues Inc. to work at an
advertising agency once the group`s schedule became too hectic. By 1963, the band`s lineup had
been set, and the Stones began an eight-month residency at the Crawdaddy Club, which proved to
substantially increase their fan base. It also attracted the attention of Andrew Loog Oldham, who
became the Stones` manager, signing them from underneath Crawdaddy`s Giorgio Gomelsky.
Although Oldham didn`t know much about music, he was gifted at promotion, and he latched upon
the idea of fashioning the Stones as the bad-boy opposition to the clean-cut Beatles. At his
insistence, the large yet meek Stewart was forced out of the group, since his appearance contrasted
with the rest of the group. Stewart didn`t disappear from the Stones; he became one of their key
roadies and played on their albums and tours until his death in 1985.

With Oldham`s help, the Rolling Stones signed with Decca Records, and that June, they released
their debut single, a cover of Chuck Berry`s "Come On." The single became a minor hit, reaching
number 21, and the group supported it with appearances on festivals and package tours. At the end
of the year, they released a version of Lennon-McCartney`s "I Wanna Be Your Man" which soared
into the Top 15. Early in 1964, they released a cover of Buddy Holly`s "Not Fade Away," which
shot to number three. "Not Fade Away" became their first American hit, reaching number 48 that
spring. By that time, the Stones were notorious in their homeland. Considerably rougher and sexier
than the Beatles, the Stones were the subject of numerous sensationalistic articles in the British press,
culminating in a story about the band urinating in public. All of these stories cemented the Stones as a
dangerous, rebellious band in the minds of the public, and had the effect of beginning a manufactured
rivalry between them and the Beatles, which helped the group rocket to popularity in the U.S. In the
spring of 1964, the Stones released their eponymous debut album, which was followed by "It`s All
Over Now," their first U.K. number one. That summer, they toured America to riotous crowds,
recording the Five By Five EP at Chess Records in Chicago in the midst of the tour. By the time it
was over, they had another number one U.K. single with Howlin` Wolf`s "Little Red Rooster."
Although the Stones had achieved massive popularity, Oldham decided to push Jagger and Richards
into composing their own songs, since they -- and his publishing company -- would receive more
money that away. In June of 1964, the group released their first original single "Tell Me (You`re
Coming Back)," which became their first American Top 40 hit. Shortly afterward, a version of Irma
Thomas` "Time Is On My Side" became their first U.S. Top Ten. It was followed by "The Last
Time" in early 1965, a number one U.K. and Top Ten U.S. hit that began a virtually uninterrupted
string of Jagger-Richards hit singles. Still, it wasn`t until the group released "(I Can`t Get No)
Satisfaction" in the summer of 1965 that they were elevated to superstars. Driven by a fuzz-guitar riff
designed to replicate the sound of a horn section, "Satisfaction" signaled that Jagger and Richards
had come into their own as songwriters, breaking away from their blues roots and developing a
signature style of big, bluesy riffs and wry, sardonic lyrics. It stayed at number one for four weeks
and began a string of Top Ten singles that ran for the next two years, including such classics as "Get
Off My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown," "As Tears Go By" and "Have You Seen Your Mother,
Baby, Standing in the Shadow?"

By 1966, the Stones had decided to respond to the Beatles` increasingly complex albums with their
first album of all-original material, Aftermath. Due to Brian Jones` increasingly exotic musical tastes,
the record boasted a wide range of influences, from the sitar-drenched "Paint It, Black" to the
Eastern drones of "I`m Going Home." These eclectic influences continued to blossom on Between
the Buttons, (1967) the most pop-oriented album the group ever made. Ironically, the album`s
release was bookended by two of the most notorious incidents in the band`s history. Before the
record was released, the Stones performed the suggestive "Let`s Spend the Night Together," the
B-side to the medieval ballad "Ruby Tuesday," on The Ed Sullivan Show, which forced Jagger to
alter the song`s title to an incomprehensible mumble, or else face being banned. In February of 1967,
Jagger and Richards were arrested for drug possession, and within three months, Jones was arrested
on the same charge. All three were given suspended jail sentences, and the group backed away from
the spotlight as the summer of love kicked into gear in 1967. Jagger, along with his then-girlfriend
Marianne Faithfull, went with the Beatles to meet the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi; they were also
prominent in the international broadcast of the Beatles` "All You Need Is Love." Appropriately, the
Stones` next single, "Dandelion"/"We Love You," was a psychedelic pop effort, and it was followed
by their response to Sgt. Pepper, Their Satanic Majesties Request, which was greeted with
lukewarm reviews.

The Stones` infatuation with psychedelia was brief. By early 1968, they had fired Andrew Loog
Oldham and hired Allen Klein as their manager. The move coincided with their return to driving rock
& roll, which happened to coincide with Richards` discovery of open tunings, a move that gave the
Stones their distinctively fat, powerful sound. The revitalized Stones were showcased on the
malevolent single "Jumpin` Jack Flash," which climbed to number three in May 1968. Their next
album, Beggar`s Banquet, was finally released in the fall, after being delayed for five months due its
controversial cover art of a dirty, graffiti-laden restroom. An edgy record filled with detours into
straight blues and campy country, Beggar`s Banquet was hailed as a masterpiece among the
fledgling rock press. Although it was seen as a return to form, few realized that while it opened a
new chapter of the Stones` history, it also was the closing of their time with Brian Jones. Throughout
the recording of Beggar`s Banquet, Jones was on the sidelines due to his deepening drug addiction
and his resentment of the dominance of Jagger and Richards. Jones left the band on June 9, 1969,
claiming to be suffering from artistic differences between himself and the rest of the band. On July 3,
1969 -- less than a month after his departure -- Brian Jones was found dead in his swimming pool.
The coroner ruled that it was "death by misadventure," yet his passing was the subject of countless
rumors over the next two years.

By the time of his death, the Stones had already replaced Brian Jones with Mick Taylor, a former
guitarist for John Mayall`s Bluesbreakers. He wasn`t featured on "Honky Tonk Women," a number
one single released days after Jones` funeral, and he contributed only a handful of leads on their next
album, Let It Bleed. Released in the fall of 1969, Let It Bleed was comprised of sessions with Jones
and Taylor, yet it continued the direction of Beggar`s Banquet, signaling that a new era in the
Stones` career had begun, one marked by ragged music and an increasingly wasted sensibility.
Following Jagger`s filming of Ned Kelly in Australia during the first part of 1969, the group launched
their first American tour in three years. Throughout the tour -- the first where they were billed as the
World`s Greatest Rock & Roll Band -- the group broke attendance records, but it was given a sour
note when the group staged a free concert at Altamont Speedway. On the advice of the Grateful
Dead, the Stones hired Hell`s Angels as security, but that plan backfired tragically. The entire show
was unorganized and in shambles, yet it turned tragic when the Angels murdered a young Black man,
Meredith Hunter, during the Stones` performance. In the wake of the public outcry, the Stones again
retreated from the spotlight and dropped "Sympathy for the Devil," which some critics ignorantly
claimed incited the violence, from their set.

As the group entered hiatus, they released the live Get Yer Ya-Ya`s Out in the fall of 1970. It was
their last album for Decca/London, and they formed Rolling Stones Records, which became a
subsidiary of Atlantic Records. During 1970, Jagger starred in Nicolas Roeg`s cult film
Performance and married Nicaraguan model Bianca Perez Morena de Macias, and the couple
quickly entered high society. As Jagger was jet-setting, Richards was slumming, hanging out with
country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons. Keith wound up having more musical influence on 1971`s
Sticky Fingers, the first album the Stones released though their new label. Following its release, the
band retreated to France on tax exile, where they shared a house and recorded a double album,
Exile on Main St. Upon its May 1972 release, Exile on Main St. was widely panned, but over
time it came to be considered one of the group`s defining moments.

Following Exile, the Stones began to splinter in two, as Jagger concentrated on being a celebrity and
Richards sank into drug addiction. The band remained popular throughout the `70s, but their critical
support waned. Goats Head Soup, released in 1973, reached number one, as did 1974`s It`s Only
Rock `N` Roll, but neither record was particularly well received. Taylor left the band after It`s Only
Rock `N` Roll, and the group recorded their next album as they auditioned new lead guitarists,
including Jeff Beck. They finally settled on Ron Wood, former lead guitarist for the Faces and Rod
Stewart, in 1976, the same year they released Black N` Blue, which only featured Wood on a
handful of cuts. During the mid- and late `70s, all the Stones pursued side projects, with both
Wyman and Wood releasing solo albums with regularity. Richards was arrested in Canada in 1977
with his common-law wife Anita Pallenberg for heroin possession. After his arrest, he cleaned up
and was given a suspended sentence the following year. The band reconvened in 1978 to record
Some Girls, an energetic response to punk, new wave and disco. The record and its first single, the
thumping disco-rocker "Miss You," both reached number one, and the album restored the group`s
image. However, the group squandered that goodwill with the follow-up Emotional Rescue, a
number one record that nevertheless received lukewarm reviews upon its 1980 release. Tattoo You,
released the following year, fared better both critically and commercially, as the singles "Start Me
Up" and "Waiting on a Friend" helped the album spend nine weeks at number one. The Stones
supported Tattoo You with an extensive stadium tour captured in Hal Ashby`s movie Let`s Spend
the Night Together and the 1982 live album Still Life.

Tattoo You proved to be the last time the Stones completely dominated the charts and the stadiums.
Although the group continued to sell out concerts in the `80s and `90s, their records didn`t sell as well
as previous efforts, partially because the albums suffered due to Jagger and Richards` notorious
mid-`80s feud. Starting with 1983`s Undercover, the duo conflicted about which way the band
should go, with Jagger wanting the Stones to follow contemporary trends and Richards wanting them
to stay true to their rock roots. As a result, Undercover was a mean-spirited, unfocused record that
received relatively weak sales and mixed reviews. Released in 1986, Dirty Work suffered a worse
fate, since Jagger was preoccupied with his fledgling solo career. Once Jagger decided that the
Stones would not support Dirty Work with a tour, Richards decided to make his own solo record
with 1988`s Talk Is Cheap. Appearing a year after Jagger`s failed second solo album, Talk is
Cheap received good reviews and went gold, prompting Jagger and Richards to reunite late in
1988. The following year, the Stones released Steel Wheels, which was received with good reviews,
but the record was overshadowed by its supporting tour, which grossed over $140 million dollars
and broke many box office records. In 1991, the live album Flashback, which was culled from the
Steel Wheels shows, was released.

Following the release of Flashback, Bill Wyman left the band; he published a memoir, Stone Alone,
within a few years of leaving. The Stones didn`t immediately replace Wyman, since they were all
working on solo projects; this time, there was none of the animosity surrounding their mid-`80s
projects. The group reconvened in 1994 with bassist Darryl Jones, who had previously played with
Miles Davis and Sting, to record and release the Don Was-produced Voodoo Lounge. The album
received the band`s strongest reviews in years, and its accompanying tour was even more successful
than the Steel Wheels tour. On top of being more successful than its predecessor, Voodoo Lounge
also won the Stones their first Grammy for Best Rock Album. Upon the completion of the Voodoo
Lounge tour, the Stones released the live, "unplugged" album Stripped in the fall of 1995. Similarly,
after wrapping up their tour in support of 1997`s Bridges to Babylon, the group issued yet another
live set, No Security, the following year. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine
