After years of producing rock music that has spread around the globe, it's no wonder The Rolling Stones is recognised as one of the worlds best rock 'n' roll bands. Their tracks were written in different places, studios and by various writers, and the same was for their albums being produced by various record companies yet their albums have consistently topped the record charts in both the US and UK. Their music has been inspirational to themselves and their fans and they have continued to produce great music from 1964 to 2005. Over the years, The Stones have captured the hearts and ears of their fans.

Way back in 1964, their first album, "The Rolling Stones" was well received. On the 16th April, their album was one of the biggest selling albums in the UK and for two weeks, remained at number 1. Jagger and Richards were the bands main song writers, but only wrote one song for the debut album. Credited as contributors to the bands sessions for the other tracks on the album included Phil Spector, Gene Pitney and Nankher Phelge.
