As the lead singer for the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger is one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll. By the late ‘60s, the Rolling Stones were rivaling the Beatles as the world’s most popular rock band. In 1968, they began a string of albums that would go down as some of rock’s most quintessential and enduring albums ever recorded. Jagger fronted the Rolling Stones for over 20 years before he began a solo career in 1985.
Jagger also tried his hand at acting in movies, landing roles in such flicks as “Performance” and “Ned Kelly”. By 1984, Jagger had begun recording a solo album where he pursued a more mainstream, dance-inflected pop direction. Jagger returned to the fold of the Rolling Stones in 1989, recording, releasing, and touring the “Steel Wheels” album.
The band has released 29 albums of original work and compilations, and has had 37 top-10 singles. In 1989 the Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 The Rolling Stones were ranked #4 in Rolling Stone Magazine’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
