Keith Richards is a renowned English musician, songwriter, singer, and record producer, best known as the guitarist and co-principal songwriter of the Rolling Stones. With a career spanning over six decades, Richards' songwriting partnership with Mick Jagger is one of the most successful in history. Born on 18 December 1943 in Dartford, Kent, Richards' guitar playing style has been a trademark of the Rolling Stones, and his countercultural persona has been shaped by his romantic involvements and illicit drug use. As a member of the Rolling Stones, Richards has released numerous hit songs, including [[sympathy-for-the-devil|Sympathy for the Devil]] and [[gimme-shelter|Gimme Shelter]], and has collaborated with other notable artists such as [[john-lennon|John Lennon]] and [[eric-clapton|Eric Clapton]]. With over 250 million records sold worldwide, the Rolling Stones are one of the most successful rock bands of all time, and Richards' contributions have been instrumental in shaping the band's sound and legacy. Richards has also released several solo albums, including [[talk-is-cheap|Talk Is Cheap]] and [[main-offender|Main Offender]], and has been inducted into the [[rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame|Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] twice, as a member of the Rolling Stones and as a solo artist.
