The Rolling Stones are an English band whose blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll-infused music became popular during the "British Invasion" in the early 1960s. The band was formed in London in 1962 by original leader Brian Jones, but eventually led by the songwriting partnership of singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. Pianist Ian Stewart, drummer Charlie Watts and bassist Bill Wyman completed the early primary lineup. Their early image of unkempt and surly youth is one that many musicians still emulate.
Jones died in 1969 shortly after being fired from the band and was replaced by twenty year old Mick Taylor. During the 1969 American tour, tour manager Sam Cutler introduced them as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". After Taylor quit the Stones in 1974, former Faces guitarist Ron Wood began his continuing tenure. Wyman retired in 1993 being replaced by hired hand Darryl Jones.
The band have released 55 albums of original work and compilations, and have had 37 top-10 singles. They have sold over 200 million albums worldwide. 1971's Sticky Fingers began a string of eight consecutive number one albums in the United States. In 1989 the Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 they were ranked #4 in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Their latest album, A Bigger Bang, was released in 2005 and accompanied by their biggest and highest-grossing tour ever, which lasted into late summer 2007.
In 1951 Keith Richards and Mick Jagger met while attending Wentworth County Junior School. In 1960, the two became reacquainted while Richards was attending the Sidcup Art College and Jagger was a student at the London School of Economics. Richards remembered in a 1971 interview, "I was going to school, and he was going up to the London School of Economics... So I get on this train one morning, and there's Jagger and under his arm he has four or five albums... He's got Chuck Berry and Little Walter, Muddy Waters... So I invited him up to my place for a cup of tea." With mutual friend Dick Taylor (later of Pretty Things), they formed the band Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. Stones founders Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart were active in the London R&B scene fostered by Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner. Jagger and Richards met Jones while he was playing slide guitar while sitting in with Korner's Blues Inc. Korner also had hired Jagger periodically and frequently future Stones drummer Charlie Watts. Their first rehearsal included Jones, Stewart, Jagger and Richards - the later who came along at Jaggers invitation. In June 1962 the Stones lineup was Jagger, Richards, Stewart, Jones, Taylor, and drummer Tony Chapman. Taylor then left the group. Jones renamed the band The Rollin' Stones, after the song "Rollin' Stone" by Muddy Waters.
