The
Rolling Stones are an English rock band. The band formed in 1962 in
London when original leader Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart were
joined by vocalist Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, whose
songwriting partnership later contributed to their taking the
leadership role in the group. The band's early recordings were mainly
covers of American blues and R&B songs. After first achieving
success in the UK, they became popular in the US during the "British
Invasion" of the early 1960s. Their 1965 single "(I Can't Get No)
Satisfaction" established The Rolling Stones as a premier rock and roll
act.
