Who is The Rolling Stones?

The Rolling Stones are an English rock group that formed in London in 1962. First popular in Europe, they quickly became successful in North America during the British Invasion of the mid-60s. Since then, their worldwide sales are estimated at more than 200 million albums. In 1989, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004, they ranked number 4 in Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The Rolling Stones was founded by singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards in 1962. The two had attended the same primary school in their hometown of Dartford, England, but it wasn’t until a chance meeting at a London train station in 1960 that they realized they both shared a love for the blues and decided to start a band. Jagger and Richards met up with guitarist Brian Jones, who had played with the band Blues Inc. before leaving them to start up his own band with Ian Stewart on piano. After nearly 30 years in existence, the Rolling Stones began the 90s with the biggest grossing international tour of all time and ended speculation about their future by reiterating their intention of playing on indefinitely. Wyman officially resigned in 1993, however, and was replaced by the highly experienced Darryl Jones. Voodoo Lounge was one of their finest latter-day recordings, sounding both lyrically daring and musically fresh.
