About this Item

English rock and blues guitarist and songwriter (born 18 December 1943, Dartford, Kent, England), best known as a founder member and guitarist of The Rolling Stones. After the Rolling Stones signed to Decca Records in 1963, their band manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, dropped the 's' from Richards' surname, believing that "Keith Richard", in his words, "looked more pop". During the late 1970s, Richards re-established the 's' in his surname. A number of instances of this spelling are also the result of mis-types. In a long-term relationship (1967-1979) with Anita Pallenberg, mother of his first three children, Marlon Richards (b. 10.08.1969), Dandelion Angela Richards (b. 17.04.1972), & Tara Jo Jo Gunne Richards (b. 26.03.1976). Father to Theodora Dupree Richards from his second marriage. Running time approx 23 hrs. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

Review

Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: It's hard to imagine a celebrity memoir--or any memoir for that matter--that is as easy to drink in (so to speak) as Keith Richards's Life. Die-hard Stones fans will love tales of the band's ascension from the "interval" band at the Marquee to the headliners at Super Bowl XL; guitar gearheads will scramble to sample the one lick that has eluded Richards for 49 years; and historians and romantics alike will swoon over the raspy, rambling, raucous detail of this portrait of the artist in situ. Yes, some tales are told, but Life is refreshingly not gossipy, mean-spirited, or sordid--or at least not more than the truth demands. Richards is as comfortable in his bones as a worn pair of boots, and Life captures the rhythm of his voice so effortlessly that reading his tale is like sharing a pint with an old friend--one who happens to be one of the most iconic guitarists of all time. --Daphne Durham
