	Brian Jones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Brian Jones (February 28, 1942 - July 2, 1969) was the original lead guitarist and backing singer behind Mick Jagger in The Rolling Stones.
		Born Lewis Brian Hopkin-Jones in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, he was also the group's original leader, but whereas his intention was to bring the "authentic" rhythm and blues sound to white audiences in the UK, Jagger and second guitarist Keith Richards had their sights set on stardom.
		Brian gave in to them and gradually gave up control of the group and Keith's image was promoted somewhat more heavily, with him taking more of the spotlight (backing vocals and guitar solos) and Brian receiving less.

		Jones was so determined to think of himself as the Stones' leader that he arranged to have himself paid five pounds more per week than the others for a while in 1963, which didn't go over well with the rest of the gang.
		Brian Jones' influence in the Rolling Stones began to diminish in the mid-'60s, when Jagger and Richards began to establish themselves as the band's songwriters.
		Jones probably contributed to the several early Rolling Stones originals that were credited to the group pseudonym of Nanker-Phelge, but he never did have a song that he wrote, or co-wrote, under his own name recorded by the band.
