Mick Jagger, 1973 - A perennial ‘bad boy’.  Absolutely rowdy.  Utterly sexy.  Enormously talented.  Mick Jagger is the quintessential rock star, a cultural icon and an indefatigable entertainer.  As front man and lead singer for the Rolling Stones, Jagger is renowned for his snarling voice and wild, sexy stage antics.  Considered one of the most popular and influential figures in the history of rock & roll, he was born Michael Phillip Jagger in Dartford, England in 1943 and discovered a love for music early on.  He never intended to be a rock star.  Even after forming the band “Little Boy Blue & the Blue Boys” in high school, he tried to remain focused on his studies at the London School of Economics.  However, his love of music was inversely proportional to his love of school and in his late teens, he bumped into Keith Richards, an early childhood friend.  Realizing their shared appreciation for the blues, Jagger invited Richards to join his band, soon changing its name to the “Rolling Stones” (named after a blues song by the group Muddy Waters).  By the late ‘60s, the Rolling Stones were rivaling The Beatles as the world’s most popular rock band, thereafter performing and recording together for over 40 years. Critics labeled the Stones “the long haired louts”; Jagger recognized as the voice of teenage rebellion worldwide.   In 1989, the band was inducted into the rock hall of fame.  By the time this photo was taken in 1973, they had released a string of albums that would become recognized among rock’s most enduring albums ever recorded.  Mick Jagger’s face (and famous lips) had become instantly recognizable, both for the singer’s notorious playboy ways, as well as his elite celebrity status.  Scavullo described him as “a wicked, sexy rock star who doesn’t quit.”   That description, true as much today as it was 30 years ago, stands as the perfect characterization for this enormously popular and talented legend of rock and roll.
