From today's featured article  Mick Jagger (born 26 July 1943) is an English singer and songwriter. He was born and grew up in Dartford, joining the rock band the Rolling Stones in 1962 as the lead vocalist and a founder member. His songwriting partnership with Keith Richards is one of history's most successful. A pioneer of the modern music industry, Jagger has been widely described as one of the most popular and influential frontmen in rock music history. Notorious for his romantic involvements and illicit drug use, he has often been portrayed as a countercultural figure. His performance style has been studied by academics and is the inspiration for the song "Moves like Jagger". He has released four solo albums and starred in two films. With the Stones, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, and into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. As either a Stones member or a solo artist, he has reached No. 1 on the UK and US singles charts thirteen times, and the top 40 seventy times. He was knighted in 2003. (Full article...)
