Charlie's Good Tonight : The Authorised Biography of Charlie Watts
Charlie Watts / Rolling Stones - Book - by Paul Sexton
(2022)
Featuring
forewords from bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, this is the
official and fully authorised biography of the world's most revered and
celebrated drummer. Mid-1962. 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. Once
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 Exile on Main St. 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. For 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. Drawing on
new interviews with his family, friends and former bandmates - including
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards - Charlie's Good Tonight is the
remarkable life story of Charlie Watts - official, authorised and as
it's never been told before.
