The Rolling Stones, shaped in London, England circa 1962, are one of the world’s reputable rock music bands, selling over 200 million albums globally. They came into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and have did in about 40 countries.
The band was made by Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met as schoolmates in Dartford, Kent. They took their name from a Muddy Waters song called “Rollin’ Stone Blues”, and made their live debut in July 1962 at London’s Marquee Club (minus Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts).
In January 1963, Charlie Watts joined the Stones. The group toured constantly, with residencies at venues like Ealing Jazz Club, Ken Colyer’s Studio 51, and Eel Pie Island in Twickenham. He started the “Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone” press campaign, which set the tone for their career, which has included drug arrests, and many notorious incidents.
