Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger is an English singer, songwriter, actor, and film producer who rose to international prominence as the Rolling Stones' lead vocalist and one of the band's founding members. One of the most successful songwriting collaborations in history is with Keith Richards. Jagger's career lasted six decades, and he has been called "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in rock & roll history." Richards' guitar approach, combined with his unique voice and passionate live performances, has been the Rolling Stones' signature throughout the band's tenure. Jagger was depicted as a countercultural character in the press due to his amorous involvement and illegal drug usage.

Jagger featured in the films Performance (1970) and Ned Kelly (1970) in the late 1960s, to mixed reviews. He co-founded Jagged Films in the 2000s, and the firm has since produced a series of feature films, beginning with the 2001 historical drama Enigma. He started his solo career in 1985, releasing She's the Boss, and then joined the electric ensemble SuperHeavy in 2009. During the 1980s, Jagger's relationships with the Stones' members, notably Richards, worsened, although the band has always outperformed his solo and side endeavors.
