"Charlie Is My Darling", the Stones movie that should’ve been an answer to the Beatles’ "Hard Day’s Night" in the mid-sixties but never was : originally a Jazz drummer (never a rock’n’roll drummer! ) hence his subtle style in rock drumming full of timing, economy and restreint, never overdoing and flamboyant (as opposed to the Who’s Keith Moon! ) Charlie was not the oldest Stones, he became the oldest when older original member, Bill Wyman quit… but he was the first Stones to go after Rolling Stones’ founder Brian Jones; RIP Charles Robert Watts (June 2, 1941 - August 24, 2021) 😢🥁#charliewatts #charliewattsorchestra #charliewattsdrums #charlieismydarling #charliewattsphotography #charliewattsquintet #rollingstonesoriginal #bluesincorporated (à Islington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS_ooD5Afmu/?utm_medium=tumblr
