Sir Michael Philip Jagger (born 26 July 1943) is an English musician. He is known as the lead singer and one of the founder members of The Rolling Stones. Jagger has co-written most of the band's songs with lead guitarist Keith Richards; their songwriting partnership is one of the most successful in rock music history. His career has spanned more than six decades, and he has been widely described as one of the most popular and influential front men in the history of rock music. His distinctive voice and energetic live performances, along with Richards' guitar style, have been the Rolling Stones' trademark throughout the band's career. Early in his career, Jagger gained notoriety for his romantic involvements and illicit drug use, and has often been portrayed as a countercultural figure.
Jagger was born and grew up in Dartford. He studied at the London School of Economics before abandoning his studies to focus on his career with the Rolling Stones. In the early 1970s, Jagger starred in the films Performance (1970) and Ned Kelly (1970), to mixed receptions. Beginning in the 1980s, he released a number of solo works, including four albums and the single "Dancing in the Street", a 1985 duet with David Bowie that reached No. 1 in the UK and Australia and was a top-ten hit in other countries.
In the 2000s, Jagger co-founded a film production company, Jagged Films, and produced feature films through the company beginning with the 2001 historical drama Enigma. He was also a member of the supergroup SuperHeavy from 2009 to 2011. Although relationships with his bandmates, particularly Richards, deteriorated during the 1980s, Jagger has always found more success with the Rolling Stones than with his solo and side projects. He was married to Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias from 1971 to 1978, and has had several other relationships; he has eight children with five women.
In 1989, Jagger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and, in 2004, into the UK Music Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones. As a member of the Rolling Stones and as a solo artist, he reached No. 1 on the UK and US singles charts with 13 singles, the top 10 with 32 singles and the top 40 with 70 singles. In 2003, he was knighted for his services to popular music. Jagger is credited with being a trailblazer in pop music and with bringing a style and sex appeal to rock and roll that have been imitated and proven influential with subsequent generations of musicians.

Although he was encouraged to follow his father's career path growing up, Jagger has said, "I always sang as a child. I was one of those kids who just liked to sing. Some kids sing in choirs; others like to show off in front of the mirror. I was in the church choir and I also loved listening to singers on the radio—the BBC or Radio Luxembourg—or watching them on TV and in the movies."{{sfn|Jagger|Richards|Watts|Wood|2003|p=13}}
In September 1950, Keith Richards and Jagger first met as classmates at Wentworth Primary School in Dartford, prior to the Jagger family's 1954 move to Wilmington, Kent.{{sfn|Nelson|2010|p=8}} The same year he passed the eleven-plus examination and attended Dartford Grammar School, which now has the Mick Jagger Centre performing arts venue.{{Cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/696156.stm|title=Jagger's family affair at school|website=BBC News|date=30 March 2000|access-date=6 November 2019}} Jagger and Richards lost contact with each other when they went to different schools.
In the mid-1950s, Jagger began his music career, forming a garage band with his friend Dick Taylor. They played songs by Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Howlin' Wolf, and Bo Diddley.{{sfn|Nelson|2010|p=8}} Jagger met Richards again on 17 October 1961 on Platform Two of Dartford railway station.{{cite web |author= |date=17 October 2011 |title=Anniversary of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Dartford meeting |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-15333771 |access-date=13 April 2018 |website=BBC News |archive-date=8 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180508032502/http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-15333771 |url-status=live }} The Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records Jagger was carrying revealed a shared interest in rhythm and blues.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rollingstones.com/artist/mick-jagger/|title=Mick Jagger – The Rolling Stones|website=The Rolling Stones|access-date=3 September 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903121800/http://www.rollingstones.com/artist/mick-jagger/|archive-date=3 September 2017}}{{sfn|White|2003|pp=119–120}} A musical partnership began shortly afterwards.{{sfn|Nelson|2010|p=9}}{{sfn|Greenfield|1981}} Richards and Taylor often met Jagger at his house.

Brian Jones, using the name Elmo Lewis, began working at the Ealing Club, where a loose music ensemble known as Blues Incorporated was performing, under the leadership of Alexis Korner. Jones, Richards, and Jagger began playing with the group, with Jagger eventually becoming the band's lead singer. Jones, Richards, and Jagger began meeting on their own to practise, establishing the foundation for what would become the Rolling Stones.

At the beginning of the Rolling Stones' founding in the early 1960s, the band mostly played for no money at a basement club opposite London's Ealing Broadway tube station, which was subsequently named Ferry's Club. The group had very little equipment and borrowed Korner's gear to play. Their first appearance, under the name the Rollin' Stones, after one of their favourite Muddy Waters songs, was performed at the Marquee Club, a London jazz club, on 12 July 1962. They later changed their name to the Rolling Stones, since it seemed more formal.{{sfn|Richards|Fox|2010|p=97}}
The initial band members included Jagger, Richards, Jones, Ian Stewart on piano, Dick Taylor on bass, and Tony Chapman on drums, but Richards wrote in Life, his memoir, that, "The drummer that night was Mick Avory—not Tony Chapman, as history has mysteriously handed it down..."{{sfn|Richards|Fox|2010|p=97}} In June 1963, the band began a five-month residency at Eel Pie Island Hotel, which the BBC later credited with shaping the band's career.{{Cite news|last=Taylor|first=Alex|date=18 June 2018|title=The Rolling Stones: How Eel Pie Island shaped the band's career|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-44437317|access-date=3 January 2022|archive-date=3 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220103020459/https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-44437317|url-status=live}} That autumn, Jagger left the London School of Economics to pursue a musical career with the Rolling Stones.{{Cite news |url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/10/01/speed-read-11-juiciest-bits-from-philip-norman-s-biography-of-mick-jagger |title=Speed Read: 11 Juiciest Bits from Philip Norman's Biography of Mick Jagger |date=1 October 2012 |work=The Daily Beast|access-date=6 March 2018 }}
The group initially played songs by American rhythm and blues artists, including Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. The band's first two UK No. 1 hits were cover versions, "It's All Over Now" by Bobby Womack{{sfn|Roberts|2006|p=165}} and "Little Red Rooster" by Willie Dixon.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-rolling-stones-songs-20131015/little-red-rooster-1965-19691231 |title=100 Greatest Rolling Stones Songs |access-date=18 October 2017 |magazine=Rolling Stone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171018131359/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-rolling-stones-songs-20131015/little-red-rooster-1965-19691231 |archive-date=18 October 2017|date=15 October 2013}} Encouraged by manager Andrew Loog Oldham, Jagger and Richards soon began writing their own songs. Their songwriting partnership took time to develop; one of their early compositions was "As Tears Go By", a song written for Marianne Faithfull, a young singer Loog Oldham was promoting.{{sfn|Jagger|Richards|Watts|Wood|2003|p=84}}
For the Rolling Stones, the duo wrote "The Last Time", the group's third No. 1 single in the UK, based on "This May Be the Last Time", a traditional Negro spiritual song recorded by the Staple Singers in 1955.{{sfn|Kot|2014|p=112}} Jagger and Richards also wrote their first international hit, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".

I wasn't trying to be rebellious in those days; I was just being me. I wasn't trying to push the edge of anything. I'm being me and ordinary, the guy from suburbia who sings in this band, but someone older might have thought it was just the most awful racket, the most terrible thing, and where are we going if this is music?... But all those songs we sang were pretty tame, really.

The group's early albums, including Out of Our Heads, Aftermath, and Between the Buttons, were successful commercially. In 1967, Jagger, Richards, and Jones were hounded by authorities over their recreational drug use after the News of the World published a three-part feature, "Pop Stars and Drugs: Facts That Will Shock You".{{sfn|Wells|2012|p=110}} The feature described alleged LSD parties hosted by the Moody Blues and attended by the Who's Pete Townshend and Cream's Ginger Baker, and alleged admissions of drug use by leading pop musicians. The first article targeted Donovan, who was raided and charged soon after the feature aired. The second instalment, published on 5 February, targeted the Rolling Stones.{{sfn|Paytress|2003|p=116}}
A reporter who contributed to the story spent an evening at the London club Blaise's, where a member of the Rolling Stones allegedly took several Benzedrine tablets, displayed a piece of hashish, and invited his companions back to his flat for a "smoke". The article claimed this was Mick Jagger, but it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity; the reporter had been eavesdropping on Brian Jones. Two days after the article was published, Jagger filed a writ for libel against the News of the World.{{sfn|Cohen|2016|p=153}}{{sfn|Paytress|2003|p=116}}
Jagger and Richards were later arrested on drug charges and given unusually harsh sentences. Jagger was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for possession of four over-the-counter pep pills he had purchased in Italy, and Richards was sentenced to one year in prison for allowing cannabis to be smoked on his property. The traditionally conservative editor of The Times, William Rees-Mogg, wrote an article critical of the sentences. On appeal, Richards' sentence was overturned and Jagger's was amended to a conditional discharge, although he spent one night in London's Brixton Prison.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|pp=148–149}}{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/inside-allen-kleins-role-in-1967-jagger-richards-drug-bust-43267/|title=Inside Allen Klein's Role in 1967 Jagger-Richards Drug Bust|author=|date=11 August 2015|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=15 August 2017|url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170211113050/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/read-an-exclusive-excerpt-from-bio-of-stones-beatles-manager-allen-klein-20150811|archive-date=11 February 2017}}{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/10/newsid_2522000/2522735.stm|title=BBC On This Day {{!}} 10 {{!}} 1967: Two Rolling Stones on drugs charges |website=BBC News|access-date=15 August 2017|url-status=live|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170210170540/http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/10/newsid_2522000/2522735.stm|archive-date=10 February 2017|date=10 May 1967}} The Rolling Stones continued to face legal battles for the next decade.{{sfn|Booth|2000|pp=271–278}}
By the release of the Stones' album Beggars Banquet, Brian Jones was contributing only sporadically to the band. Jagger said Jones was "not psychologically suited to this way of life".{{sfn|Jagger|Richards|Watts|Wood|2003|p=128}} His drug use became a hindrance, and he could not obtain a US visa. Richards reported that in a June meeting with Jagger, Richards, and Watts were at Jones' house, and Jones admitted he was unable to "go on the road again". Jones left the band, saying, "I've left, and if I want to I can come back".{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5-Nx8AUNAHIC&q=brian+jones+i%27ve+left%2C+and+if+I+want+to+I+can+come+back%27&pg=PT284 |title=Old Gods Almost Dead: The 40-Year Odyssey of the Rolling Stones |last=Davis |first=Stephen |year= 2001 |publisher=Crown/Archetype |isbn=978-0-7679-0956-3 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170918033352/https://books.google.ca/books?id=5-Nx8AUNAHIC&pg=PT284&lpg=PT284&dq=brian+jones+i%27ve+left%2C+and+if+I+want+to+I+can+come+back%27&source=bl&ots=DUEpjePXZM&sig=odPrVldtAKJY4TmAtRu330WbALw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwitz87etpPWAhVB5WMKHZo6AZEQ6AEINDAC |archive-date=18 September 2017 |access-date=17 November 2021 }} On 3 July 1969, less than a month later, Jones drowned in the swimming pool at his home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex.{{sfn|Wyman|2002|p=329}} When asked if he felt guilty about Jones's death, Jagger told Rolling Stone in 1995:
No, I don't really. I do feel that I behaved in a very childish way, but we were very young, and in some ways we picked on him. But, unfortunately, he made himself a target for it; he was very, very jealous, very difficult, very manipulative, and if you do that in this kind of a group of people you get back as good as you give, to be honest.

According to a February 1985 article in Rolling Stone, Jagger did so to "establish an artistic identity for himself apart from the Rolling Stones" which was described as "his boldest attempt yet".{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/stepping-out-mick-jagger-goes-solo-19850214 |last=Connelly|first=Christopher|date=14 February 1985|title=Stepping Out: Mick Jagger Goes Solo |magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=3 September 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903121355/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/stepping-out-mick-jagger-goes-solo-19850214 |archive-date=3 September 2017}} Jagger started writing and recording material for his first solo album She's the Boss.

It sold well, and the single "Just Another Night" was a Top Ten hit. During this period, he collaborated with the Jacksons on the song "State of Shock", sharing lead vocals with Michael Jackson.{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-best-singles-of-1984-pops-greatest-year-20140917/the-jacksons-feat-mick-jagger-state-of-shock-20140917 |last1=Ganz|first1=Caryn|last2=Weingarten|first2=Christopher R.|last3=Harvilla|first3=Rob|last4=Montgomery|first4=James|last5=Aaron|first5=Charles|last6=Murray|first6=Nick|last7=Shipley|first7=Al|last8=Grow|first8=Kory|last9=Harris|first9=Keith|last10=Fischer|first10=Reed|last11=Johnston|first11=Maura|author11-link=Maura Johnston |last12=Matos|first12=Michaelangelo|last13=Eddy|first13=Chuck|title=100 Best Singles of 1984: Pop's Greatest Year |magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=1 September 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170902044534/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-best-singles-of-1984-pops-greatest-year-20140917/the-jacksons-feat-mick-jagger-state-of-shock-20140917 |archive-date=2 September 2017|date=17 September 2014|url-access=limited}}
In 1985, Jagger performed without the Rolling Stones at Live Aid, a multi-venue charity concert in 1985. Jagger performed at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium, where he also performed a duet of "It's Only Rock and Roll" with Tina Turner, highlighted by Jagger tearing away Turner's skirt, and a cover of "Dancing in the Street" with David Bowie, who was performing at Wembley Stadium in London. The video was shown simultaneously on the screens of both Wembley and JFK Stadiums. The song reached No. 1 in the UK the same year.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9MW5QuVob8gC&q=dancing+in+the+street+uk+number+1&pg=PT121 |title=Ready For a Brand New Beat: How "Dancing in the Street" Became the Anthem for a Changing America |last=Kurlansky |first=Mark |year=2013 |publisher=Penguin Books |isbn=978-1-101-61626-0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906050515/https://books.google.com/books?id=9MW5QuVob8gC&pg=PT121&lpg=PT121&dq=dancing+in+the+street+uk+number+1&source=bl&ots=s7iP5Gmyuy&sig=CTLTExA9tVzJH_e5tfGvLhNtJZo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjHocTSzITWAhUO-mMKHVmpCr8Q6AEIbzAK#v=onepage&q=dancing%20in%20the%20street%20uk%20number%201&f=false |archive-date=6 September 2017}}
Richards ended his heroin use and became more present in decision-making, but Jagger was not accustomed to Richards' presence and did not like his authority over the band diminished. This led to a feud between Jagger and Richards that has been referred to as "World War III" with concern at the time that Jagger touring without the Stones could prove a "death sentence" for the band.{{Cite magazine |last=Gilmore |first=Mikal |date=7 May 2013 |title=Love and War Inside the Rolling Stones |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/love-and-war-inside-the-rolling-stones-94552/ |url-access=limited |access-date=6 July 2022 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US |archive-date=25 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220325191305/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/love-and-war-inside-the-rolling-stones-94552/ |url-status=live }} When the Stones released Dirty Work in March 1986, Jagger's relations with Richards had reached an all-time low, leading Jagger to refuse to tour with the band to support the new album. Jagger responded, saying:
I think that one ought to be allowed to have one's artistic side apart from just being in the Rolling Stones. I love the Rolling Stones—I think it's wonderful, I think it's done a lot of wonderful things for music. But, you know, it cannot be, at my age and after spending all these years, the only thing in my life.{{Cite news |last=Andrews |first=Travis M. |date=1 March 2018 |title=Keith Richards insulted Mick Jagger again.

Jagger released his second solo album, Primitive Cool, in 1987. Though it failed to match the commercial success of his debut solo album, it was critically well received. Richards released his first solo album, Talk is Cheap, shortly afterwards. Many felt the respective solo efforts marked the end of the Rolling Stones as a band.{{Cite news |last=Lewis |first=Randy |date=22 March 2019 |title=Keith Richards says his '88 solo album 'Talk Is Cheap' made him appreciate Mick more |work=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-keith-richards-solo-album-talk-cheap-20190322-story.html |access-date=11 November 2021 |archive-date=11 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211111165156/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-keith-richards-solo-album-talk-cheap-20190322-story.html |url-status=live }} In 1988, Jagger produced the songs "Glamour Boys" and "Which Way to America" on Living Colour's album Vivid. Between 15 and 28 March, he also performed a solo concert tour in Japan, playing in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/mick-jagger-tour-rolls-in-japan-19880505 |title=Mick Jagger Tour Rolls in Japan |magazine=Rolling Stone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715075231/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/mick-jagger-tour-rolls-in-japan-19880505 |last=Cahoon|first=Keith|archive-date=15 July 2015|date=5 May 1988|url-status=live|url-access=limited}}
Jagger and Richards reunited in the Barbados in 1988 and produced dozens of new songs. Richards recalls:
We just started in. And within two days, we realized we had five or six songs happening. I did have to take Mick to a few discos—which are not my favourite places in the world—because Mick likes to go out and dance at night. So I did that. That was my sacrifice. I humoured him. And that's when I knew we could work together.{{cite magazine|last=Fricke|first=David|date=7 September 1989|title=The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' Uneasy Truce|access-date=16 July 2022|url-access=limited|magazine=Rolling Stone|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-rolling-stones-mick-jagger-and-keith-richards-uneasy-truce-191973/}}
Ron Wood believes the modest sales of Jagger's Primitive Cool "surprised" Jagger and made him "realize the strength of the band". Richards recalled, "We've been stuffed together for years and one of the consequences of the break was making us realize we were stuck together whether we liked it or not. Jagger said, "Because we've been doing it for so long, we don't really have to discuss it. When we come up with a lick or a riff or a chorus, we already know if it's right or if it's wrong." On 29 August 1989, the band released its 19th UK and{{sfn|Margotin|Guesdon|2016|p=574}} 21st US album, Steel Wheels.{{Cite web |last=Giles |first=Jeff |date=29 August 2015 |title=How the Rolling Stones Finally Regrouped for 'Steel Wheels' |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/rolling-stones-steel-wheels/ |access-date=11 November 2021 |website=Ultimate Classic Rock |archive-date=11 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211111191326/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/rolling-stones-steel-wheels/ |url-status=live }}

Following the success of Steel Wheels, and the end of Jagger and Richards' well-publicised feud, Jagger attempted to reestablish himself as a solo artist. He acquired Rick Rubin as co-producer in January 1992 for his third solo album, Wandering Spirit. Sessions for the album began that month in Los Angeles and ended nine months later, in September 1992.{{Cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-10-04-ca-933-story.html |title=Odd Couple Mick and Rick Finish Album |last=Hochman |first=Steve |date=4 October 1992 |work=Los Angeles Times |access-date=3 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151025174953/http://articles.latimes.com/1992-10-04/entertainment/ca-933_1_solo-album |archive-date=25 October 2015 |url-status=live |issn=0458-3035 }} Richards recorded his second solo studio album, Main Offender, at the same time.{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/keith-richards-rocks-main-offender-19921126 |last=Neely|first=Kim|date=26 November 1992|title=Keith Richards: Rock's Main Offender |magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=3 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903121423/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/keith-richards-rocks-main-offender-19921126 |archive-date=3 September 2017 |url-status=live|url-access=limited}}
On Wandering Spirit, Jagger used Lenny Kravitz as a vocalist on his cover of Bill Withers' "Use Me" and bassist Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers on three separate tracks. Jagger signed with Atlantic Records, which had signed the Stones in the 1970s, to distribute the solo album. Wandering Spirit, released in February 1993, and The Very Best of Mick Jagger, a compilation album containing no new material, were both released by Atlantic Records.{{Cite magazine |url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_MxIEAAAAMBAJ/page/n15|page=16 |title=Epiphany Opens 'Door' To Jagger Disc|last=Williamson|first=Nigel |magazine=Billboard|date=24 November 2001|access-date=15 July 2022}} Wandering Spirit was commercially successful, reaching No. 12 in the UK and No. 11 in the US.{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/wandering-spirit-mw0000090555 |title=Wandering Spirit |work=AllMusic |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170908202529/http://www.allmusic.com/album/wandering-spirit-mw0000090555 |archive-date=8 September 2017 |url-status=live |access-date=8 September 2017}}{{cite magazine |title=Mick Jagger – Billboard Charts |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/310992/mick-jagger/chart?f=305 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226061154/http://www.billboard.com/artist/310992/mick-jagger/chart?f=305 |archive-date=26 February 2017 |magazine=Billboard}}
In 1993, the Stones were ready to start recording their next studio album, and Charlie Watts recruited bassist Darryl Jones, a former sideman of Miles Davis and Sting, as Wyman's replacement for the recording of Voodoo Lounge, released in 1994. Jones continued to perform with the band as the band's touring and session bassist. The album was well received critically and proved commercially successful, going double platinum in the US.

This was enhanced by his drug-related arrests, sexually charged on-stage antics, provocative song lyrics, and his role in Performance. One of his biographers, Christopher Andersen, describes him as "one of the dominant cultural figures of our time", adding that Jagger was "the story of a generation".{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=3}} Jagger, who at the time described himself as an anarchist and espoused the leftist slogans of the era, took part in a demonstration against the Vietnam War outside the US Embassy in London in 1968. This inspired him to write "Street Fighting Man" that same year.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|pp=179–180}}
In 1967, Cecil Beaton photographed Jagger's naked buttocks, a photo that sold at Sotheby's auction house in 1986 for $4,000.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=139}}
Jagger was reported to be a contender for the anonymous subject of Carly Simon's 1972 hit song "You're So Vain", on which he sings backing vocals.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=265}} Pop artist Andy Warhol painted a series of silkscreen portraits of Jagger in 1975, one of which was owned by Farah Diba, wife of the Shah of Iran. It hung on a wall inside the royal palace in Tehran.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=314}}
In 2010, a retrospective exhibition of portraits of Jagger was presented at the festival Rencontres d'Arles, in France. The catalogue of the exhibition is the first photo album of Jagger and shows his evolution over 50 years.{{cite web |url=http://www.contrastobooks.com/vmchk/Catalogue/MICK-JAGGER-THE-PHOTOBOOK-UK.html |title=Mick Jagger – The Photobook – UK |access-date=2 March 2011 |publisher=Contrasto Books |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708191426/http://www.contrastobooks.com/vmchk/Catalogue/MICK-JAGGER-THE-PHOTOBOOK-UK.html |archive-date=8 July 2011}}
Jagger's relationships served as the inspiration for the theatrical show parody "Jumpin' Jack", written by Lyle Victor Albert. In the show, the protagonist, Jack, is "a member of that ever-expanding, worldwide club made up of Mick Jagger's illegitimate children."{{Cite news |last=Morrow |first=Martin |date=26 January 2002 |title=Daddy was a Rolling Stone |language=en-CA |work=The Globe and Mail |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/daddy-was-a-rolling-stone/article1335010/ |access-date=26 June 2022 |archive-date=26 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626160332/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/daddy-was-a-rolling-stone/article1335010/ |url-status=live }}

On television, the ITV satirical puppet show Spitting Image caricatured Jagger as perpetually high throughout its run in the 1980s and 1990s.{{cite news |title=30 facts for 30 years – The truth about 'Spitting Image' |url=https://www.itv.com/news/central/2014-02-26/30-facts-for-30-years-the-truth-about-spitting-image/ |access-date=28 September 2019 |work=ITV |archive-date=28 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190928222537/https://www.itv.com/news/central/2014-02-26/30-facts-for-30-years-the-truth-about-spitting-image/ |url-status=live }} In 1998, the MTV animated show Celebrity Deathmatch had a clay-animated fight to the death between Jagger and Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler; Jagger wins the fight by using his tongue to stab Tyler through the chest. The 2000 film Almost Famous, set in 1973, refers to Jagger: "Because if you think Mick Jagger'll still be out there, trying to be a rock star at age 50 ... you're sadly, sadly mistaken."{{cite book |first=John |last=McMillian |year=2013 |title=Beatles Vs.

In 2012, Jagger was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork—the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover—to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires.{{cite news |title=New faces on Sgt Pepper album cover for artist Peter Blake's 80th birthday |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/apr/02/peter-blake-sgt-pepper-cover-revisited |work=The Guardian |date=9 November 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161105095109/https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/apr/02/peter-blake-sgt-pepper-cover-revisited |archive-date=5 November 2016}}
In more recent decades, Jagger has been seen as a "poster boy" for healthy living and, as of 2006, was "said to run 12 km a day, to kick-box, lift weights, cycle, and practise ballet and yoga"; he has his own personal trainer.{{Cite news |last=Lee |first=Jenny |date=24 November 2006 |title=Fit like Mick: You can do it too |page=35 |work=The Vancouver Sun |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104994427/fit-like-mick-you-can-do-it-too/ |access-date=5 July 2022 |via=Newspapers.com |archive-date=6 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220706034003/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104994427/fit-like-mick-you-can-do-it-too/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite news |last=Horton |first=Gary |date=16 November 2005 |title=Mick for Prez – Can't Get No Satisfaction With Bush |page=8 |work=The Signal |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104994520/mick-for-prez-cant-get-no/ |access-date=5 July 2022 |via=Newspapers.com |archive-date=6 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220706034003/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104994520/mick-for-prez-cant-get-no/ |url-status=live }} It has been estimated that during the average show, he covers between five{{Cite news |last=McCracken |first=Ron |date=17 November 1994 |title=Runnin' Jack Flash |page=123 |work=Fort Worth Star-Telegram |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104994747/runnin-jack-flash/ |access-date=5 July 2022 |via=Newspapers.com |archive-date=6 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220706034003/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104994747/runnin-jack-flash/ |url-status=live }} and twelve miles on stage "while strutting and shimmying through shows at dizzying speeds".{{Cite web |last=Valenti |first=Lauren |date=15 May 2019 |title=At 75, Mick Jagger Shares His Incredible Post-Heart Surgery Dance Moves |url=https://www.vogue.com/article/mick-jagger-post-heart-surgery-dance-workout-moves-fitness |access-date=5 July 2022 |website=Vogue |language=en-US |archive-date=18 September 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210918185147/https://www.vogue.com/article/mick-jagger-post-heart-surgery-dance-workout-moves-fitness |url-status=live }}

In the words of British dramatist and novelist Philip Norman, "the only point concerning Mick Jagger's influence over 'young people' that doctors and psychologists agreed on was that it wasn't, under any circumstances, fundamentally harmless".{{cite book|last=Norman|first=Philip|author-link=Philip Norman (author)|title=Symphony for the Devil: the Rolling Stones Story|page=173|publisher=Linden Press/Simon & Schuster|year=1984|isbn=978-0671449759}} According to Norman, even Elvis Presley at his most scandalous had not exerted a "power so wholly and disturbingly physical". "[W]hile [Presley] made girls scream, [he] did not have Jagger's ability to make men feel uncomfortable." Norman likens Jagger in his early performances with the Rolling Stones in the 1960s to a male ballet dancer, with "his conflicting and colliding sexuality: the swan's neck and smeared harlot eyes allied to an overstuffed and straining codpiece".
His performance style has been studied by academics who analysed gender, image and sexuality.{{cite book |first=David |last=Pattie |title=Rock music in performance |page=156 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |year=2007 |isbn=978-1-4039-4746-8}} Musicologist Sheila Whiteley noted that Jagger's performance style "opened up definitions of gendered masculinity and so laid the foundations for self-invention and sexual plasticity which are now an integral part of contemporary youth culture".{{cite book |last=Whiteley|first=Sheila |title=Sexing the groove: popular music and gender |publisher=Routledge |year=1997 |page=67 |isbn=0-415-14670-4}} His stage personas also contributed significantly to the British tradition of popular music that always featured the character song and where the art of singing becomes a matter of acting—which creates a question about the singer's relationship to his own words.{{cite book |last=Frith |first=Simon |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BPdIfT6scIoC |title=Performing rites: on the value of popular music |publisher=Harvard University Press |year=1998 |isbn=0-674-66196-6 |page=[https://archive.org/details/performingriteso0000frit/page/171 171] |url-access=registration}}
His voice has been described as a powerful expressive tool for communicating feelings to his audience, and expressing an alternative vision of society.{{cite journal |last1=Hicks |first1=Michael|author-link=Michael Hicks (musicologist) |title=Sixties Rock: Garage, psychedelic, and other satisfactions |journal=Australasian Journal of American Studies |year=2001 |volume=20 |issue= |page=107 |doi= |access-date=16 July 2022|jstor=41053856|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6HArAQAAIAAJ&q=%22to+his+audience+and+expressing+an+alternative+vision+of%22}} To express "virility and unrestrained passion" he developed techniques previously used by African American preachers and gospel singers such as "the roar, the guttural belt style of singing, and the buzz, a more nasal and raspy sound". Steven Van Zandt wrote: "The acceptance of Jagger's voice on pop radio was a turning point in rock & roll. He broke open the door for everyone else. Suddenly, Eric Burdon and Van Morrison weren't so weird—even Bob Dylan."{{cite magazine|last=Van Zandt |first=Steven |author-link=Steven Van Zandt |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-artists-of-all-time-19691231/the-rolling-stones-19691231 |title=100 Greatest Artists: The Rolling Stones |magazine=Rolling Stone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111010222947/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-artists-of-all-time-19691231/the-rolling-stones-19691231 |archive-date=10 October 2011|date=18 August 2015|url-access=limited}}
Over time, Jagger has developed into the template for rock front men and, with the help of the Stones, has, in the words of the Telegraph, "changed music" through his contributions to it as a pioneer of the modern music industry.{{cite news |title=Mick Jagger: the Rolling Stone who changed music |work=The Telegraph |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rolling-stones/10192279/Mick-Jagger-the-Rolling-Stone-who-changed-music.html |url-status=live |access-date=17 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313170810/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rolling-stones/10192279/Mick-Jagger-the-Rolling-Stone-who-changed-music.html |archive-date=13 March 2016}} Jagger is often described as one of the most popular and influential front men in the history of rock & roll;{{cite web |url={{AllMusic |class=artist |id=p4584|pure_url=yes}}|title=Mick Jagger Biography|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|author-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|work=AllMusic|access-date=5 December 2010}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/mick-jagger-gets-political-on-two-new-songs/ar-AAoVqPH#image=AAfxDtH%7C16 |title=Mick Jagger gets political on two new songs |work=MSN |access-date=31 August 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170831221859/https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/mick-jagger-gets-political-on-two-new-songs/ar-AAoVqPH#image=AAfxDtH%7C16 |archive-date=31 August 2017 }} in 1994 the New York Times noted that his "influence hangs heavily over contemporary British rock" as many singers "incorporated elements" of his onstage presence into their personas.{{Cite news |last=Strauss |first=Neil |author-link=Neil Strauss |date=3 September 1994 |title=Rock Review: Evidence of Mick Jagger's Influence |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/09/03/arts/rock-review-evidence-of-mick-jagger-s-influence.html |url-access=limited |access-date=13 July 2022 |issn=0362-4331}} In 2015, Billboard ranked him among the best rock front men of all time, referring to him as "the rock and roll front man" whose "swagger brought a style and sexiness to rock music that he built on for decades" and openly wondering "would we even have rock stars without Mick?"{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/photos/6721847/best-rock-singers-of-all-time |title=The 25 Best Rock Frontmen (and Women) of All Time |magazine=Billboard|access-date=31 August 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170816012120/http://www.billboard.com/photos/6721847/best-rock-singers-of-all-time |archive-date=16 August 2017}}

Jagger has repeatedly said that he will not write an autobiography, but according to John Blake, after a slew of unauthorised biographies, Jagger was persuaded by Lord Weidenfeld in the early 1980s to prepare his own for a £1 million advance. The resulting 75,000-word manuscript is held by Blake, who briefly planned to publish it until Jagger withdrew support.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/02/ive-got-mick-jaggers-lost-memoir/ |title=I've got Mick Jagger's lost memoir |date=18 February 2017 |magazine=The Spectator |first=John |last=Blake |author-link=John Blake (journalist) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170219045946/http://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/02/ive-got-mick-jaggers-lost-memoir/ |archive-date=19 February 2017 }}
