The newly formed Rolling Stones are on the hunt for a permanent drummer. Their sights are set on Charlie Watts, a jazz musician already well-known within London’s rhythm and blues clubs. Fortunately for future Stones fans the world over, they persuade him to take on the job. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce installed at the drum seat, Charlie would not miss a beat for the rest of his life. He was there throughout the swinging sixties as the Stones reached superstardom and for the well-documented debauchery of the 1970s, typified by the iconic album \u003cem\u003eExile on Main St\u003c\/em\u003e. Battling his own demons by the eighties, Charlie emerged unscathed, cementing his reputation as the thoughtful, cultured but no less compelling counterpoint to his more raucous bandmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor almost 60 years – through all the band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel both on stage and off – Charlie remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones. At the same time, he was the antithesis of the rock-star archetype, an intensely private man who valued his family above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on new interviews with his family, friends and former bandmates – including Mick Jagger and Keith Richards – \u003cem\u003eCharlie’s Good Tonight\u003c\/em\u003e is the remarkable life story of Charlie Watts: official, authorised and as it’s never been told before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46562088681630,"sku":"HPC-9780008546373","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780008546373.jpg?v=1772078182","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780008546373","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
