}} }} Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger (born 26 July 1943)〔 is an English singer, songwriter and actor, best known as the lead vocalist and a co-founder of The Rolling Stones. Jagger's career has spanned over 50 years, and he has been described as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll". His distinctive voice and performance, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of the Rolling Stones throughout the career of the band. Jagger gained press notoriety for his admitted drug use and romantic involvements, and was often portrayed as a countercultural figure. In the late 1960s Jagger began acting in films (starting with ''Performance'' and ''Ned Kelly''), to mixed reception. In 1985 Jagger released his first solo album, ''She's the Boss''. In early 2009 he joined the electric supergroup SuperHeavy. In 1989 Jagger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 into the UK Music Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones. In 2003 he was knighted for his services to popular music. ==1943–61: early years== Michael Philip Jagger was born into a middle-class family in Dartford, Kent. His father, Basil Fanshawe "Joe" Jagger (13 April 1913 – 11 November 2006), and grandfather, David Ernest Jagger, were both teachers. His mother, Eva Ensley Mary (née Scutts; 6 April 1913 – 18 May 2000), born in New South Wales, Australia, of English descent,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ancestry of Mick Jagger )〕 was a hairdresser and an active member of the Conservative Party. Jagger's younger brother, Chris (born 19 December 1947) is also a musician. The two have performed together. Although brought up to follow his father's career path, Jagger "was always a singer" as he stated in ''According to the Rolling Stones''. "I always sang as a child. I was one of those kids who just ''liked'' to sing. Some kids sing in choirs; others like to show off in front of the mirror. I was in the church choir and I also loved listening to singers on the radio--the BBC or Radio Luxembourg--or watching them on TV and in the movies." From September 1950 Keith Richards and Jagger were classmates at Wentworth Primary School, Dartford, Kent. In 1954 Jagger passed the eleven-plus and went to Dartford Grammar School, which now has the Mick Jagger Centre installed within the school's site, named for its most famous alumnus. Jagger and Richards lost contact with each other when they went to different schools, but after a chance encounter at Dartford Station in July 1960, resumed their friendship and discovered their shared love of rhythm and blues, which for Jagger had begun with Little Richard.〔White, Charles. (2003), pp. 119-120, ''The Life and Times of Little Richard: The Authorised Biography'', Omnibus Press.〕 Jagger left school in 1961 after obtaining seven O-levels and three A-levels. Jagger and Richards moved into a flat in Edith Grove in Chelsea, London with a guitarist they had encountered named Brian Jones. While Richards and Jones planned to start their own rhythm and blues group, Jagger continued studying business courses at the London School of Economics,〔"Mick Jagger" entry, ''Contemporary Musicians'', Volume 53. Thomson Gale, 2005.〕 and had seriously considered becoming either a journalist or a politician, comparing the latter to a pop star.〔Christopher Andersen, ''Jagger'', published by Delacorte Press, New York, 1993, p. 49〕〔George Tremlet, ''The Rolling Stones Story'', Futura Publications Ltd., London, 1974, pp. 109–10〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mick Jagger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
