In high school, Mick Jagger started a band called Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys. He attended the London School of Economics on a government scholarship.
Mick Jagger is one of the most famous rock stars of all time. He found fortune and fame as lead singer of the Rolling Stones and helped make “The Stones” one of the most popular rock bands of all time. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards founded the Rolling Stones in 1962 with a new bluesy rock sound and hard-hitting style that soon resulted in a string of hit songs, concert tours and a media frenzy.
Legend has it that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who once attended the same school when they were five, met again at a train station as teenagers. Apparently, Mick Jagger was carrying some blues records. Keith Richards was also crazy about the blues and they soon teamed up with Brian Jones to form the Rolling Stones. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts were also in the band.
The band’s name comes from the 1950 Muddy Waters song “Rollin’ Stone”. Rolling Stone’s first big hit was Satisfaction, which stayed on the US music charts for six weeks straight. Huge hits such as “Paint it Black”, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, “Time is on My Side” and “Get Off of My Cloud” soon followed. “Honky Tonk Woman”, “You Can’t Always Get Want You Want”, “Gimme Shelter” and “Sympathy for the Devil” were other classic Stones hits.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Keith Richards wanted to keep the bluesy rock sound the band had always had, but Mick Jagger wanted to add more dance sounds. Mick Jagger’s first solo album, 1985’s She She’s the Boss, had a more contemporary pop sound than the music he had made with the Rolling Stones. The album wasn’t as popular as his work with the Stones, but the album had a few songs that made it into the Top 40. Mick Jagger joined David Bowie in 1985 for the Live Aid fundraiser and they all donated the profits made on the Martha and the Vandellas recording “Dancing on the Streets”.
Mick Jagger’s second solo album Primitive Cool came out in 1987 and only had one Top 40 song. Mick Jagger joined the Rolling Stones in 1989 for the Steel Wheels album and tour. In 1993, Mick Jagger’s third solo album Wandering Spirit went gold.
Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones had the Voodoo Lounge album and tour in 1994. Three years later, in 1997, the Stones were back together for the Bridges to Babylon tour. Mick Jagger released his fourth solo album, Goddess in the Doorway, in 2001. Goddess in the Doorway features guest artists such as Bono, Missy Elliot, Rob Thomas and Lenny Kravitz.
