British rock band composed by Mick Jagger (Dartford, UK, 1943), Brian Jones (Cheltenham, UK, 1944 - London, 1969), Keith Richards (Dartford, UK, 1943), Bill Wyman And Charlie Watts (London, 1941).
Formed in 1962, the Rolling Stones have always been presented as the historical rivals of The Beatles. Within this comparison, the Stones represented the most aggressive stream of rock music, even when they reached handstand for the song I wanna be your man, composed by beatles John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
In fact, until 1965 the Stones did not begin to publish their own songs, such as (I can not get no) Satisfaction or Going to a Gogo, usually composed by singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, much more influenced by rhythm & Blues that by the own rock & roll that marked to the group of Liverpool. In 1969, Jones died during the course of a party when falling in a pool after having ingested great amount of alcohol; His place in the group was initially occupied by guitarist Mick Taylor. In 1976, Taylor left the formation and was replaced by Ron Wood.
The Rolling Stones stand out for being a group of extraordinary longevity, because in 1964 they began their first tour of concerts by the United States and still in 1997 they realized so important world tours like the presentation of the disc Bridges to Babylon. In 2016 they were still recording studio albums (the band's last are A Bigger Bang, 2005, and Blue & Lonesome, released in 2016) and offering live recitals. This fact, coupled with their musical quality, has become true myths of popular music.
Aside from his musical side, Mick Jagger has made two films as an actor, Performance (1970), a psychedelic aesthetic film in which Jagger himself shows the chameleon style of his close friend David Bowie, and Freejack (1992). Alongside the immense popular recognition they enjoy worldwide, the Stones received the Grammy in 1986 for their musical career and in 1989 they were included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 1993, Keith Richards joined the Hall of Fame of songwriters, and in 1994 the American network MTV gave the group his prize in recognition of his artistic career. In addition, on November 10, 1994 the Rolling Stones became the first rock & roll group to relay a live concert via the Internet.
