Great, thank you!

The name

Rollin’ Stone was the first Muddy Waters single for Chess Records in 1950. Mixing acoustic Delta blues with urban Chicago electricity, it captured the imagination of pale young English boys an ocean away. The story goes that 21-year-old guitar prodigy Brian Jones was clutching a Muddy Waters LP when a writer from Jazz News asked the name of his band. He came up with an answer on the spot, and the group debuted as the Rollin’ Stones on July 12 1962 at the Marquee Club in London.

Mick Jagger

Born in 1943, in Dartford, Kent, the smart, sporty son of a PE teacher, Jagger practically invented the rock band frontman. His lithe, big-lipped, long-haired look had an androgynous appeal. His voice was rough yet pliant, drawing on the blues of Howlin’ Wolf and rhythmic phrasing of James Brown, from whom Jagger also copped a priapic swagger. Fiercely ambitious, he has been the single most important force guiding the Stones to global superstardom.

Keith Richards

AKA the Human Riff, the World’s Most Elegantly Wasted Human Being, or sometimes just Keef. The louche guitarist embodies the Stones mythology. He and Jagger were primary school pals who drifted apart until a chance meeting as teenagers on a train platform. Richards’s appetite for narcotics and apparent indestructibility fed the band’s bad-boy image, but he’s also the key songwriter and arranger of their best records. “The rock ’n’ roll is important,” he says. “The sex and drugs is just something that happened to me along the way.”

Swinging London

They might have hailed from the provinces, but the heart of the big city is where the Stones were truly born. Cheap rents and a youthful sense of entitlement led Jagger and Richards to set up camp at 102 Edith Grove, a squalid Chelsea flat where the two students could listen to blues records and hatch plans with a flamboyant musician from Cheltenham calling himself Elmo Lewis, AKA…

Brian Jones

In the beginning, Jones was the band’s self-appointed leader. Blond, baby-faced and ludicrously stylish, he is all over the early records, playing harmonica, slide guitar, recorder, organ, saxophone, autoharp and singing backing vocals right up to 1968’s Sympathy for the Devil. Jealous of the songwriting partnership of Jagger and Richards, he obliterated his creativity with drugs, and was kicked out of the band in June 1969. He drowned in his swimming pool less than a month later, at the age of 27.



Rock ’n’ roll

Richards’s first hero was Elvis Presley’s guitarist Scotty Moore, and from their earliest shows, the sheer energy of the Stones put them at odds with London’s purist blues scene. As Jagger would one day sing: “It’s only rock ’n’ roll… but I like it!”

Chuck Berry

A version of Berry’s Come On became the Stones’ debut single in June 1963 and they have covered a dozen more of his tracks since. The bluesman was not always grateful. At the Hollywood Palladium in 1972, he ordered Richards off stage because he didn’t like his playing. Richards remained a devotee, developing Berry’s syncopated mix of rhythm and lead guitar into his own style. “A lot of people can rock,” as Richards is fond of saying, “but they forget about the roll.”

Bill Wyman

Wyman was a married man of 25 when he was recruited as bass player in December 1962. Playing semi-upright with poker-faced menace, his style was configured around bluesy root notes with harmonic twists. His reputation as a sex hound contributed to the band’s hedonistic image: on one tour, he boasted of sleeping with 265 women. He left the band in 1993.

Charlie Watts

The last to join the original line-up in 1963, the ego-less, rock-steady Watts was the glue that held the Stones together, playing on every album for 58 years until his death last year aged 80. A jazzer at heart, he played with a sense of swing – and despised drum solos.

Andrew Loog Oldham

The visionary Beatles publicist became the Stones’ manager in 1963 aged 19. Loog Oldham produced every Stones record from 1963-67, despite having no studio experience (which might explain their rough edges). Drugs and messy business affairs led to a parting of ways in 1967.

The Beatles

At the height of Beatlemania, Liverpool’s fab four established a thrilling new blueprint for British bands. They became fast friends with the Stones: Lennon and McCartney gifted I Wanna Be Your Man for the band’s second single. Loog Oldham cannily positioned the Stones as the anti-Beatles, instigating a fan rivalry that still endures.

The Look

The scruffy Stones held a mirror to a generation in the process of convulsive change. After early attempts at a band uniform failed, the Stones became the first notable rock group to dress in their own clothes. The look evolved over the years, as Jagger became flamboyantly glamorous and Richards honed his own brand of outlaw cool, a jet-set gypsy style that remains the image of the archetypal rock star.
