ROLLING STONES: Charlie Watts Interview - 1966

Me too. My respect for him and sadness on his passing only grow as I watch his interviews, hear others tell remarkable stories about him (especially his generosity and kindness), and watch him perform. Four drums and impeccable timing and technique- and he adopted dogs, supported elderly jazz drummers, and adored his family.

One of Rock n' Rolls greatest talents, in one of the greatest bands of all time, The Rolling Stones. Charlie Watts, so humble, so classy, a beautiful, sweet man... He was like the glue that held the Stones together, solid as they come... One hell of a drummer. I bet he never thought in a million years, the Stones would turn out to be as historic as they are. The lovely girl on the horse is Charlie's wife Shirley, they had a daughter Seraphina, and were married for almost 60 years...Love, prayers, and respect to your girls.

[@charliebird5299]

Thanks so much for sharing this, a really great interview with my favorite Stone. 'Got to love Charlie's timeless, down-to-earth attitude. I think his awareness of his circumstances in comparison to that of the world's at large is laudable given that so many of the most fortunate try so desperately to either downplay their success, or insult our intelligence by claiming their lives somehow remain as before despite fame (How could anyone's life NOT change given those circumstances!). As to his further assessment regarding race and music of the time, as a black woman, I have to agree that the racial and physical appeal of the British bands(sexy, young, white men playing music borne of the life's experience of old, black men in this country) undoubtedly made it more palatable to a white audience at the time (as did The Motown Sound, I'm sure, ironically enough). A lovely, cerebral man, five decades after this in-depth interview, Charlie reminds me of fine wine, getting only better with time.

[@petermills2061]

Charliebird. I love this interview, and your remarks! The bit were Charlie says "people don't imagine Frank Sinatra having a headache" made me laugh out loud!!

[@mns8732]

I'd differ with your assessment of " old black men" although the crap they lived through before they were 25 could have made them worldly beyond their age. ( Robert Johnson, Muddy, Bo Diddley, ) . But your insightful observation defines rock and roll.

[@klausrain111]

Lol. Listened again. He's hilarious! On first listen, I kind of glossed over what he said about Mother's Little Helper. - It's not such a big deal in England because people don't take as many pills here as they do in America. - HAHAHAHAH! Boy howdy, did he ever nail that one! And this was 52 years ago! OMG! Great song! I remember it playing on the radio so often back then. Perfect little sing-along tune it was, especially the beginning. He talks about Mick's lyrics, and couldn't have known then that Mick would develop into one of the best lyricists in rock history, if not THE best!

Impossible not to admire Charlie Watts! In previous interviews I've heard him state " I'm not a Rock Star at least I don't buy into the hype. I see myself as a jazz drummer who happens to be a drummer/musician in a Rock N Roll band". It is impressive he's been married throughout his long career with the Rolling Stones and faithful to his misses. Tom Jones is another story. The best Tom can come up with is " I have been unfaithful throughout most of my career but at the end of the day all roads lead back to Linda" In another interview Charlie was congratulated for his 25 years working with the Stones. Charlie said 5 years working and 20 years of waiting. Humble man who speaks his mind very effective!

[@tyecook9630]

Tom Jones is a complete douche if he justifies fucking around on his wife by always returning to her after being on the road or whatever. That doesn't make it ok. My first wife cheated on me once then ended the affair but I could never trust her or fuck her again no matter how much she apologized...I left her..

[@TheSuperHarrygeorge]
