Today marks the 80th birthday of the legendary rock’n’roll showman, Mick Jagger, renowned as one of the founders of the Rolling Stones. “Thanks so much for all your lovely comments and birthday wishes!” Jagger thanked his fans on Instagram.

Born on July 26, 1943, this influential musician undeniably revolutionized the music industry, achieving a remarkable feat with 13 number-one singles in both the UK and US, as well as 32 singles in the top 10 and an impressive 70 singles in the top 40.

Together with his bandmate Keith Richards, Mick Jagger has forged one of the most successful songwriting partnerships in the history of pop music. Their compositions range from profound classics like “Sympathy for the Devil” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” to cheerfully trite rockers such as “Brown Sugar” and “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But I Like It).” It’s only understandable, then, why Jagger, who has won three Grammy awards, earned himself a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.

In honor of this celebration, Bored Panda has curated moments from Mick’s life that highlight his transformation into an international superstar.
