Mick Jagger by David Bailey

Michael Philip Jagger... The name alone makes you swoon, does it not? ;] Mick is, in my opinion, the most beautiful musician the world has ever known. These two pictures are my absolute favorite and both were taken by the fashion photographer, David Bailey.

"It was Jean Shrimpton who introduced me to Mick Jagger, because Jean's sister Chrissie was going out with Mick, who was still at the London School of Economics. Chrissie told us about Mick and said, "He's great. He's going to be bigger than the Beatles." She had been over to see the Stones playing at Eel Pie Island and the Crawdaddy Club.
One day Mick turned up with Chrissie. He was already striking. I tend to react to people visually, and what struck me straightaway were his lips; I used to make Mick extremely angry by joking that his mother used to stick him to shop windows while she went shopping."
-David Bailey
