Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger is the singer and a principal songwriter of the Rolling Stones. Born in Dartford, he renewed a childhood friendship with Keith Richards through their shared interest in blues and became part of the group that emerged from London's rhythm-and-blues scene in the early 1960s.

His songwriting partnership with Richards produced songs including (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Jumpin' Jack Flash and Honky Tonk Women. Jagger's performance style, voice and public image became central to the Stones' identity, while the band's long recording and touring career extended British rock culture to an international audience.
