Editor's note

Keith Richards, the Stones' guitarist and songwriter

The Rolling Stones guitarist who wrote songs like "You Got The Silver" and recorded solo material including "Sleep Tonight."

For the Stones side, listen to "You Got The Silver." For his own voice, try "Sleep Tonight."

Richards helped shape the Stones' sound across records like Beggars Banquet and Exile on Main St. His solo catalog includes songs like "Sleep Tonight" and "Losing My Touch" that show a different side. He's remained a working musician through decades of changes, not a retired legend.

He wrote songs like "You Got The Silver" and "How I Wish" for the Stones in the 1970s while dealing with heroin addiction and legal trouble. After getting clean, he kept working with the band and recorded his own material, including songs such as "Sleep Tonight" and "Demon."
