Charlie''s Good Tonight: The Authorised Biography of Charlie Watts

English

By (author): Paul Sexton

Featuring forewords from bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, this is the official and fully authorised biography of the worlds 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 Londons 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 Charlies Good Tonight is the remarkable life story of Charlie Watts: official, authorised and as its never been told before.
