The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. The original line-up was vocalist Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. After Brian Jones death, Mick Taylor replaced him and he in turn was replaced by Ronnie Wood. Bill Wyman later retired and Charlie Watts passed away in 2021.
Some Girls is the 14th British and 16th American studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1978 on Rolling Stones Records, catalogue COC 39108. It peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, and became one of the band’s biggest-selling albums in the United States, and has been certified by the RIAA as having six million copies sold as of 2000. It was a major critical success, with many reviewers calling it a classic return to form, and their best album since 1972’s Exile on Main St.
