Jagger–Richards

Jagger–Richards (spelled Jagger–Richard from 1963 to 1978)[nb 1] is the songwriting partnership between English musicians Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (both born 1943), founder members of rock band the Rolling Stones.

[6][7] In addition to Jagger and Richards's songwriting partnership, they have also produced or co-produced numerous Rolling Stones albums under the pseudonym the Glimmer Twins.

Similar to the contemporary English songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, both Jagger and Richards write lyrics and music.

Jagger and Richards have different recollections about their first songwriting endeavours but both credit manager Andrew Loog Oldham as the catalyst for their collaboration.

Among them are: Jagger–Richards compositions that have been released only by artists other than the Rolling Stones include:[17] Jagger and Richards adopted the nickname "The Glimmer Twins" after a vacation cruise they took to Brazil in December 1968 – January 1969 with their then-girlfriends, Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg.

[19] Jagger and Richards began to produce the Stones' albums under the pseudonym "The Glimmer Twins" starting with It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (released in 1974).

The Glimmer Twins were the sole credited producers for the band's studio and live albums from then, up to and including Still Life (released in 1982).

Besides their production work for the Rolling Stones, Jagger and Richards also used the Glimmer Twins for their co-production credit on Peter Tosh's album Bush Doctor, released in 1978.

Rolling Stone considers the duo to have "defined a rock song's essential components...and established a blueprint for future rockers to follow.
