The listing, "The Rolling Stones: The First Twenty Years" has ended.
Written and edited by David Dalton and published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., in 1981, this collection of stories and pictures of the 5 British musicians, The Rolling Stones, chronicals their lives during the first 20 years of stardom. Sometimes known as the "Bad Boys of Rock and Roll," the music written and recorded by these 5 men showed that the old saying is true; "A rolling stone gathers no moss." The fact that these 5 men lived in the bubble of stardom is no surprise, but if you are a fan of the group, you may want to learn some of the facts about the real life of international music superstars, Bill Wyman, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and of course, Mick Jagger. Unbelievably, they are still performing concerts and making new recordings still today...Not bad for a group of youngsters who began their professional careers back in the very early 1960's...considering the extreme experiences of their lives, that they are still performing is an awesome wonder in itself. This book is full of information about the first 20 years of their singing careers...beginning with the scoop from those who knew them first...their mothers.
