ROLLING STONES HISTORY
The Rolling Stones are an English rock band, formed in London in April 1962 by Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica, guitar), and Keith Richards (guitar, vocals). Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early line-up. The emergence of the Rolling Stones has been credited for the greater international popularity of the primitive urban blues typified by Chess Records' artists such as Muddy Waters, who wrote "Rollin' Stone", the song from which the band drew its name. Though R&B and blues cover songs dominated the Rolling Stones' early material, their repertoire has always included rock and roll. The Rolling Stones' endurance and relevance, critic and musicologist Robert Palmer said, is due to their being "rooted in traditional verities, in rhythm-and-blues and soul music" while "more ephemeral pop fashions have come and gone".
Jones led the band until Jagger and Richards assumed leadership after teaming as songwriters. In 1969 Jones' diminishing contributions to the band and his inability to tour, due to poor health and legal complications, caused him to leave the band three weeks before drowning in his swimming pool. Jones' replacement Mick Taylor stayed with the band until leaving voluntarily in 1974, with Ronnie Wood taking his place since then. Wyman retired from the band in 1993; his replacement Darryl Jones has not been made a full member. Stewart was taken from the official line-up in 1963 and continued as the band's road manager and occasional pianist until his death in 1985. Since 1982, Chuck Leavell has been the band's primary keyboardist.
First popular in Europe, the Rolling Stones quickly became successful in North America during the British Invasion of the mid 1960s. Having released 22 studio albums in the United Kingdom (24 in the United States), nine live albums (ten in the US), and numerous compilations, their worldwide sales are estimated at more than 200 million albums. Sticky Fingers (1971) began a string of eight consecutive studio albums reaching number one in the United States. Their most recent album of entirely new material, A Bigger Bang, was released in 2005. In 1989, the Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004, they ranked number 4 in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked the Rolling Stones at number ten on "The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists", and as the second most successful group in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
CURRENT MEMBERS
Mick Jagger – lead and backing vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, piano, harmonica (April 1962 – present)
Keith Richards – electric and acoustic guitar, lead and backing vocals (April 1962 – present)
Charlie Watts – drums (January 1963 – present)
Ronnie Wood – slide, lap and pedal steel guitars, electric guitar, bass guitar, backing vocals (March 1975 – present)
MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT
The Rolling Stones are notable in modern popular music for assimilating various musical genres into their own collective sound. Throughout the band's career, their musical contributions have been marked by a continual reference and reliance on musical styles including blues, rhythm and blues, country, folk, reggae, dance, and world music, exemplified by Jones' collaboration with the Master Musicians of Jajouka, as well as traditional English styles that use stringed instrumentation like harps. Brian Jones experimented with the use of non-traditional instruments such as the sitar and slide guitar in their early days. The group started out covering early rock 'n' roll and blues songs, and have never stopped playing live or recording cover songs.

Loving Cup - Exile on Main Street
Loving Cup Lyrics
I'm the man on the mountain, come on up.
i'm the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud.
yes, i'm fumbling and i know my car don't start.
yes, i'm stumbling and i know i play a bad guitar.
Give me little drink from your loving cup.
just one drink and i'll fall down drunk.
I'm the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.
i'm the man that brings you roses when you ain't got none.
well i can run and jump and fish, but i won't fight
you if you want to push and pull with me all night.
Give me little drink from you loving cup.
just one drink and i'll fall down drunk.
I feel so humble with you tonight,
just sitting in front of the fire.
see your face dancing in the flame,
feel your mouth kissing me again,
what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz,
what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.
Yes, i am nitty gritty and my shirt's all torn,
but i would love to spill the beans with you till dawn.
Give me little drink from your loving cup.
just one drink and i'll fall down drunk.
