Mick Jagger, born in Dartford in 1943, had long since made his name as the energetic frontman of the Rolling Stones, co-writing most of their songs with Keith Richards, when he finally tried life on his own. He'd quit the London School of Economics for the band and flirted with the movies in Performance and Ned Kelly in 1970, and by the mid-'80s, with things souring inside the Stones, above all with Richards, he went solo.
She's the Boss arrived in 1985, a glossy, dance-floor-minded record that gave radio "Just Another Night" and "Lucky in Love", and the same year his duet with David Bowie on "Dancing in the Street" hit number one in the UK and Australia. "Ruthless People" followed in 1986, the year he took home the MTV Video Music Award for Best Overall Performance, and Primitive Cool brought "Let's Work" and "Throw Away" in 1987.
For all that, the Stones always did better business than the solo records and the side projects, SuperHeavy included. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him with the band in 1989, he was knighted for services to popular music, and in 2004 he won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
