The Rolling Stones
Biography
The Rolling Stones is one of the most popular and long-playing rock-bands in the world. The band's history, that is not over yet, has began in London in 1962. The Rolling Stones was formed by the original leader Brian Jones, and eventually led by the songwriting partnership of singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. They were joined by pianist Ian Stewart, drummer Charlie Watts and bassist Bill Wyman. The band's early albums, such as The Rolling Stones, 12 X 5, Out of Our Heads, were mainly covers of American blues and R&B songs. However, they brought the wide popularity to The Rolling Stones, putting them on the edge of British Invasion. During the 1969 American tour, tour manager Sam Cutler introduced them as "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World". The Rolling Stones with their hooligan image soon became the antogonists for the "sleeked"The Beatles.
