Goodbye Ruby Tuesday

Charles Robert Watts, better known as Charlie Watts, born 2 June 1941 was an English drummer, best known as the member of the Rolling Stones from 1963 until his death, this Tuesday, 24, August in 2021.

Originally trained as a graphic artist, he started playing drums in London's rhythm and blues clubs, where he met Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards. In January 1963, he joined their fledgling group, the Rolling Stones, as drummer, while doubling as designer of their record sleeves and tour stages. Watts, along with Jagger and Richards, are the only band members to have been featured on all of their studio albums.

In 2016, he was ranked 12th on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time" list.

Rest in Light, Charlie Watts.

 

"Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday

Who could hang a name on you?

When you change with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you..."
