Today’s Music: Louie Bellson, Dobie Gray, Mick Jagger

Jazz drummer extraordinaire Louie Bellson was born today in 1924 (d. 2009).

Pop singer Dobie Gray became one of the ‘in crowd’ this day in 1940 (d. 2011).

The Rolling Stones’ lead singer, songwriter and co-founder Mick Jagger first arrived on this cloud today in 1943. Whether it’s a healthy lifestyle, pep pills, blood transfusions, a deal with the devil, or whatever you have to hand it to Jagger — he still puts on one hell of a stage show for a man pushing 70.
