FEMUSINDO.com - Michael Philip Jagger, with his famous name Mick Jagger, was born in Dartford, Kent, England, on July 26, 1943.
He is an English musician, known as the lead singer and one of the founding members of the Rolling Stones.
Jagger has co-written most of the band's songs with lead guitarist Keith Richards. Their songwriting partnership is one of the most successful in rock music history.
His career has spanned more than six decades, and he is widely described as one of the most popular and influential vocalists in rock music history.
Distinctive and Energetic Voice
His distinctive voice and energetic live performances, along with Richards' guitar style, have been the hallmarks of the Rolling Stones throughout the band's career.
Early in his career, Jagger gained notoriety for his involvement in romance and illegal drug use, and was often described as a counter-culture figure.
Jagger was born and raised in Dartford. He studied at the London School of Economics before leaving his studies to focus on his career with the Rolling Stones.
In the late 1960s, Jagger starred in the films Performance (1970) and Ned Kelly (1970), which received mixed reviews.
Released Solo Work
Beginning in the 1980s, he released a number of solo works, including four albums and the single "Dancing in the Street", a 1985 duet with David Bowie that reached No. 1 in the UK and Australia and became a top ten hit in other countries.
In the 2000s, Jagger founded a film production company, Jagged Films, and produced feature films through the company, beginning with the 2001 historical drama Enigma.
He was also a member of the supergroup SuperHeavy from 2009 to 2011. Although his relationship with his bandmates, particularly Richards, deteriorated during the 1980s, Jagger has always been more successful with the Rolling Stones than with his solo and side projects.
He was married to Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias from 1971 to 1978, and has had several other relationships. He has eight children with five women.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
In 1989, Jagger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, in 2004, into the UK Music Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones.
As a member of the Rolling Stones and as a solo artist, he reached No. 1 in the UK and US singles charts with 13 singles, the top 10 with 32 singles, and the top 40 with 70 singles.
In 2003, he was knighted for his services to popular music. Jagger is considered a pioneer in pop music and brought a style to rock and roll that has been imitated and proven influential to subsequent generations of musicians. (*)
