Author Phillip Norman, whose previous bestseller, John Lennon: The
Life, was praised as a "haunting, mammoth, terrific piece of work"
(New York Times Book Review) and whose classic Shout! is widely
considered to be the definitive biography of the Beatles, now turns his
attention to the iconic front man of the Rolling Stones, "the greatest
rock 'n' roll band in the world." Norman's Mick Jagger is an
extraordinarily detailed and vibrantly written in-depth account of the
life and half-century-long career of one of the most fascinating and
complex superstars of rock music--the most comprehensive biography to
date of the famously enigmatic musician. Keith Richards had his say in
Life. Now it's time to get to know intimately the other half of the
duo responsible for such enduring hits as "Paint It Black," "Sympathy
for the Devil," "Gimme Shelter," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."
Mick Jagger is a must read for Stones fans, and everyone who can't get
enough of the serious memoirs and biographies of popular musicians, like
Patti Smith's Just Kids, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? by
Steven Tyler, and the Warren Zevon story, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.
