The Rolling Stones is a legendary British rock band known as one of the world’s greatest rock and roll bands. The band was formed in early 1949 by guitarist Keith Richards and singer Mick Jagger (two main members of the group). Keith and Mick were friends and went to school together. Keith Richard, born December 18, 1943, in Dartford, England was the son of Doris and Bert Richards, a working-class couple. Mick Jagger, born July 26, 1943, in Dartford, England, was the son of Joe and Eva Jagger. Jagger’s father was a fitness instructor. Both, Jagger, and Richards were huge fans American music and crossed paths again 11 years later when Richard was attending Sidcup Art College and Jagger was attending London’s School of Economics. They were introduced to a local musician named Alexis Korner who held blues jams at the Ealing Club. Jagger joined the Korner’s Blues Incorporated and later decided to join the band Richard had formed. Little did they know that by the end of the decade, their band would be amongst the most celebrated and recognized bands in the world. Despite being formed in the UK, the band has filed many trademarks in the United States.
Their friendly rivals at that time were ‘The Beatles’ who played upbeat pop music. Andrew Loog Oldham was impressed by the band and decided to become their manager. Within weeks, Oldham managed to produce their debut recordings at IBC Studios. He chose Chuck Berry’s ‘Come On’ as the Rolling Stones’ debut single. They even got promoted at the esteemed UK television pop program ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars’. Soon after, the Rolling Stones released their second single ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’. This single climbed into the top 10 in the year 1964. The band got to enjoy their first tour which was supported by the Ronettes. Although Oldham had little knowledge about music, he was great at promotions and created a bad-boy image of the Rolling Stones in opposition to the clean image of the Beatles. In early 1964, they released a cover of Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away,” which reached number three. This song was their first American hit.
The band has attracted a lot of controversies, many people thought of them as rebellious and dangerous. They recorded Five by Five EP at Chess Records in Chicago while on a tour in America. By the time they were done with this, they had another number one U.K. single with Howlin’ Wolf’s “Little Red Rooster.” They had already gained much popularity and fame, but Oldham wanted Richards and Jagger to start composing their own songs. By doing so, they could receive more money as compared to what they were getting now. The band’s first original song “Tell Me (You’re Coming Back),” was released in 1964. The song gained a lot of appreciation and became their first American Top 40 hit. In the year 1966, the band decided to come up with an original album to strike back at the Beatles complex and increasingly popular albums. Before the record was released, some events happened that removed the band from the limelight for quite a while. In 1968, the band fired Andrew Loog Oldham and hired Allen Klein as their manager. The band took a break when Jagger starred in Nicolas Roeg’s cult film performance, got married, and focused more on becoming a celebrity, while Richards dealt with a drug addiction. Jagger became so successful at building his own image that he is the only band member with trademark filings for his name.
They band got back together in 1978 to record another album ‘Some Girls’. Again, there was a three-year silence and then they came together with a new album ‘Dirty Work’ in 1986. The Rolling Stones band has been successful in obtaining a massive fan following. There have been many ups and downs, but they were always able to strike back. Currently, the Rolling Stones is one of very few bands in history that has been able to continue to grow with age.
The band has various trademarks in the United States. The band’s oldest trademark registration is for their iconic tongue logo. It was filed in 1976 to protect the logo on records. They also have many trademark registrations for their band name “THE ROLLING STONES” in association with products and services like clothing, mobile trucks for food and drinks, musical sound recordings and alcoholic beverages. Interestingly, the band has also filed trademark applications for “MICK JAGGER,” though there are no filings for the other band members.
