Conclustion

To conclude my blog, I would like to say how much  music has changed since then and now.Then it was mostly rock and roll , folk and pop music but the biggest difference was that it was without the help of computers for example keyboards and electronic drums .Now it's pop and rap and a lot of computer programming to create the sounds .My favourite song from the 1960's is Here Comes The Sun ,a song by the Beatles.My favourite song know is The Script, Hall of Fame ft.will.I,am. It is made up of a piano,bums,guitar and there vocals.Here is a link to this song.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk48xRzuNvA

Rolling Stones

Above is the famous Rolling Stones logo designed by John Pasche in 1969 after Mick Jagger had gone to the Royal College of Art looking for help with a logo for his band.


The Rolling Stones are from London , they were formed in 1962 by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Mick and Keith were childhood friends and classmate  in Kent but had lost touch when Mick's family had moved. By chance they meet again at a train station in 1960 and quickly discovered they both were interested in American blues music. It took another couple of years to get to be the Rolling Stones but in June 1962 one or the original band members , Brian Jones picked the bands name after seeing the song name "Rollin Stone" on a American blues singer ' Muddy Waters' record.

The Rolling Stones went on to be described as the ' Greatest Rock and Roll Band ever ' which is no surprise as they have released of 20 albums and sold over 200 millions records world wide. 

The Rolling Stones have been together for over 50 years,can you imagine 'One Direction ' being together that long no neither can I.
There first album , released in 1964 is simply called ' The Rolling Stones' was mostly covers of other peoples songs . This was a massive success so the second album called ' Rolling Stones No2 was again mostly cover songs . On it's release in 1965 in was number one the album charts for 10 weeks so again another massive success. It wasn't till their forth album called 'Aftermath' that all the songs were written by themselves.
Here is a link to my favourite on this album ' Mother's Little Helper' this song . This song reached number 8 in the American Billbord charts in 1966.
