Brian Jones
Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969) was an English multi-instrumentalist and singer best known as the founder, rhythm/lead guitarist, and original leader of the Rolling Stones. Initially a guitarist, he went on to provide backing vocals and played a wide variety of instruments on Rolling Stones recordings and in concerts.

Jones' first major collection, ''Poems'' (consisting of his first book, ''The Madman in the Reading Room'' and thirty-seven other poems), was published in 1966, and proved to be successful.
