Bill Wyman Was Born On October 24, 1936
Original Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman was born on October 24th of 1936. He was a member of the Rolling Stones from their founding in 1962 until 1993.
Since he left the Stones in '93 he has been performing and recording with his new band Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. They have released 5 albums so far with the most successful being 2000's Groovin' which reached #52 in the UK album charts.
He also released some solo albums while a member of the Rolling Stones. The most successful being his first, 1974's Monkey Grip which reached #39 in the UK and #99 in the US.
His most successful European single was 1981's "(Si Si) Je Suis Un Rock Star" which reached #14 on the UK singles charts. His most successful single in the US was 1985's "Baby Please Don't Go" which reached #37 on the US Mainstream Rock charts.
Wyman was the oldest member of the Rolling Stones by some quite a number of years. For comparison while Wyman is celebrating his 71st birthday today (Oct. 24 2007) Mick Jagger is 64 and Keith Richards is 63. Drummer Charlie Watts is 66. This age disparity played a part in him never becoming that close to the other members of the Stones despite being in the band for over 30 years.
