Charlie Watts (June 1941- August 2021). What to say? "Charlie is My Darling!" As much pleasure, joy and inspiration I got (and still get), from the life and musicianship of the man, is translated into deep, overwhelming sadness at word of his passing.
Someone once said that every great r&r band (and the Stones at their best were great) must start with a great drummer. I do believe it is true. No doubt. And Charlie Watts was great. If you really, really listen, you will find he played like no-one else. That is how the best of the best always roll.
Take care Charlie. You will be missed.
