Fully authorized and official biography of the legendary drummer Rolling Stones Charlie Watts, one of the most respected and most famous musicians of the last half -century.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Charlie Watts was one of the most respected musicians in the world who joined the Rolling Stones several months after its inception, in early 1963.
As a jazz drum student, he got into the band after he regularly encountered it in the London Rhythm and Blues Clubs. As soon as he sat behind the drums, he did not miss any concert, album or tour in 60 years. He was there during the rocking sixties, when the Stones began to be a star and conquered the world, even during the debauched seventies, which was typical of the album Exile on Main St. from 1972, considered one of the best albums of the century. In the 1980s Charlie fought his own demons, but came out of it unscathed to strengthen his unique reputation in the coming decades.
Watts passed the bands of bands, breakups and staff changes, managers, guitarists and rhythmic sections, but for almost 60 years the Rolling Stones - thoughtful, intellectual, but no less compelling counterpart to his noisy teammates Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood. And this is his story.

If we were looking for the most unlikely more likely rock and roll star, the name of Charlie Watts would think of us as one of the first!
And yet an inconspicuous drummer - a lover of jazz, classic music and classic suits, hand -sewn shoes and luxury cars - which could not drive - for half a century "covered" the back of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. And not just that! With his jazz feeling so much influenced the sound of "the most steady bands of all time" - Rolling Stones - that it has become unmistakable.
Equally valuable was the calm, willingness to help and the ability to smack even the sharpest edges inside the group.
Because… Charlie was always cool!
