I ran across this one and thought I'd post it.
I've been a Rolling Stones fan from the very start. I first saw them live in 1969 at Olympia Stadium in Detroit, then saw them live 3 more times over the years. The original band was Mick Jagger - vocals; Keith Richards - lead guitar; Brian Jones - rhythm guitar; Bill Wyman on bass and Charlie Watts on drums.
Brian Jones actually formed the group. But early on he got into drugs, apparently deeply. It got so bad that basically the other 4 kicked him out. About a month later he was found floating face down in his pool. He was replaced by Mick Taylor, who only stayed a year ot two. Then they brought in Ron Woods from Rod Stewarts group, Faces.
I always liked Bill Wyman, the bassist because of his "Prince-Valient" haircut and the way he held his bass. Bill finally left the group saying he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Then Charlie Watts, drummer. Another original member, Charlie died in 2021. Not only a great loss to the Stones, but to music everywhere.
There may never be another great Rock and Roll group. Numerous folks still play rock and roll, but mostly it's well-known groups from the '70's and '80's. I will always agree with the opening announcer at one of their concerts:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the GREATEST Rock and Roll band in the world, The ROLLING STOOOOOOOONES!"
