    The heart of the Rolling Stones was the partnership between Keith Richards and Mick Jagger---schoolmates who met in a suburb at the edge of London's eastside united by their love of American blues and rhythm and blues. During their early years, the group spent countless hours listening to the recordings of Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Robert Johnson. They took their name from a Muddy Waters song.The band began to take off in 1963, the same year they hired Andrew Loog Oldham as their manager. "It's All Over Now",  released in 1964 was their first #1 hit in the UK.

    It was Oldham who encouraged Jagger and Richards to början writing their own material and the first song they penned that began to give the Stones their own sound was "The Last Time" (1965).Jagger and Richards also wrote songs that were recorded by other artists. They wrote "As Tears Go By" recorded by Marianne Faithful, "Take It Or Leave It" recorded by the Sea

    The Rolling Stones

    English rock band

    This article is about the band. For the magazine, see Rolling Stone. For other uses, see Rolling Stone (disambiguation).

    The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active for over six decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the band pioneered the gritty, rhythmically driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their first stable line-up consisted of vocalist Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. During their early years, Jones was the primary leader. Andrew Loog Oldham became their manager in 1963 and encouraged them to write their own songs. The Jagger–Richards partnership soon became the band's primary songwriting and creative force.

    Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion
