The Rolling Stones autographs

When drummer Tony Chapman told him that a rhythm and blues band called the Rolling Stones needed a bass player, he auditioned at a pub in Chelsea on 7 December 1962 and hired as a successor to Dick Taylor. The band impressed by his instrument and amplifiers (one of which Wyman modified himself, and a Vox AC30). Wyman the oldest member of the group.

In addition to playing bass, Wyman frequently provided backing vocals on early records, and through 1967, in concert as well. He wrote and sang lead on the track “In Another Land” from the album Their Satanic Majesties Request, which released as a single and credited solely to Wyman, making it his first official solo single. The song is one of two Bill Wyman autographs compositions released the Rolling Stones. The second is “Downtown Suzie” (sung by Mick Jagger), on Metamorphosis, a collection of Rolling Stones outtakes. The title “Downtown Suzie” chosen by their erstwhile manager Allen Klein without consulting Wyman or the band. The original title was “Sweet Lisle Lucy”, named after Lisle Street, a street in the red light district in Soho, London.

Wyman was close to Brian Jones; he and Jones usually shared rooms together while they were on tour and often went to clubs together. He and Jones hung out together even when Jones was distancing himself from the band. Wyman was distraught when he heard the news of Jones’ death, being one of two members besides Watts to attend Jones’ funeral in July 1969. Wyman was also friends with guitarist Mick Taylor. Like the other Rolling Stones, he has worked with Taylor since the latter’s departure from the band in 1974.
