Unveiling the Unforgettable Musical Moment of 1971: Brown Sugar #shorts #rollingstones

It’s difficult to imagine a world without The Rolling Stones’ iconic tongue and lips logo. It’s a symbol that has become synonymous with rock and roll rebellion, and it’s hard to believe that it all started with the release of their 1971 album, “Brown Sugar”, and the creation of their own record label, Rolling Stones Records.

But let’s take a step back and look at the events that led to the creation of the album and the record label. Prior to “Brown Sugar”, The Rolling Stones had been signed to Decca Records for over a decade. While they had many successful albums, they were growing increasingly dissatisfied with the creative restrictions imposed upon them. In 1970, they were in the middle of a lawsuit with Decca over royalty payments, and it was during this time that the band decided to take matters into their own hands and create their own record label.

Rolling Stones Records was born, and their first release was “Brown Sugar”. The album was a massive success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and featuring the hit single, “Brown Sugar”. The album was a departure from their earlier work, with a more soulful and bluesy sound than their previous rock and roll offerings. It was a groundbreaking album that solidified their place in the world of music and marked a new era for the band.

But let’s talk about that tongue and lips logo. The logo has become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world, and it all started with a college art student named John Pasche. In 1970, Mick Jagger approached Pasche and commissioned him to create a new logo for the band. Pasche was paid £50 for his work, and the end result was a stylized version of Jagger’s own pouty lips and tongue. The logo made its debut on the inner sleeve of “Sticky Fingers” in 1971, and has since become synonymous with The Rolling Stones.

The impact of “Brown Sugar” and the creation of Rolling Stones Records cannot be overstated. Not only did it mark a new era for the band creatively, but it also marked a turning point in the music industry. The Rolling Stones took control of their own destiny and paved the way for other artists to do the same. And that tongue and lips logo? Well, it’s become a symbol of unapologetic rebellion and rock and roll attitude that will continue to represent The Rolling Stones for generations to come.
