In 2023, Billboard ranked Jagger No. 1 on its list of the 50 Greatest Rock Lead Singers of All Time, praising not only his unmistakable voice but also the charisma and stage presence that have defined generations of rock music.
It's difficult to argue with that assessment. Since helping found the Rolling Stones in 1962, Jagger has become one of the most recognizable performers in popular music. His partnership with Keith Richards produced classics including "Paint It, Black," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Gimme Shelter," "Brown Sugar," "Start Me Up" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," helping turn the band into one of the most successful acts in recording history.
"I sometimes talk to people who sing perfectly in a technical sense who don't understand Mick Jagger," Kravitz wrote. "But what he does is so complex: His sense of pitch and melody is really sophisticated. His vocals are stunning, flawless in their own kind of perfection."
"Your voice is like a muscle," Kravitz explained, noting that Jagger would spend each night singing along to Rolling Stones soundcheck tapes so he wouldn't lose his edge. "As a result, at 65 years of age, he's stronger than ever."
"The best rock & roll music encapsulates a certain high energy–an angriness–whether on record or onstage. That is, rock & roll is only rock & roll if it's not safe," said Jagger at the time. "You know, one of the things I hate is what rock & roll has become in a lot of people's hands: a safe, viable vehicle for pop. Oh, it's inevitable, I suppose, but I don't like that sort of music. It's like, rock & roll–the best kind, that is, the real thing–is always brash."
