Our very dear Charlie Watts has reached this 8th decade today!
Born June 2, 1941, he was finally convinced to join a wild bunch who named themselves The Rollin’ Stones in 1963. His unique style of playing has been (and still has!!) a defining characteristic of the sound of The Rolling Stones.
So our best wishes go out to the Whembley Whammer, the gentleman drummer and pounding heart of the Rolling Stones!
Happy, happy birthday, Charlie!
