Born in Richmond, Virginia on May 25, 1878, to Maxwell Robinson, a machine-shop worker , and Maria Robinson, a choir singer, Bill Robinson was brought up by his grandmother after the death of his parents when he was still a baby. He was christened Luther, a name he did not like, so he suggested to his younger brother Bill that they should exchange names. When Bill objected, Luther applied his fists, and the exchange was made! (The new 'Luther' later adopted the name Percy and became a well-known drummer.) The details of Robinson's early life are known only through legend, much of it perpetuated by Bill Robinson himself. \n\nAt the age of six he began dancing for a living, appearing as a "hoofer," or song-and-dance man, in local beer gardens. Two years later, in Washington, DC he toured with Mayme Remington's troupe. In 1891, at the ripe age of 12, he joined a traveling company in "The South Before the War", and in 1905 worked with George Cooper as a vaudeville team. He gained great success as a nightclub and musical comedy performer, and during the next 25 years became one of the toasts of Broadway. Not until he was fifty did he dance for white audiences, having devoted his early career exclusively to appearances on the black theater circuit.\n\nThis is the other one! - The baseball player\n\nWilliam Henry Robinson Jr. \n\nBats Right, Throws Right \nHeight 6' 3", Weight 205 lb. \nDebut September 20, 1966 \nFinal Game May 23, 1983 \nBorn June 26, 1943 in McKeesport, PA USA \n\nBill Robinson was once predicted to be the Yankees' "next Mickey Mantle". He did not exactly fill in those shoes, but had some great years. In one year, he batted .304 hit 24 homer and had 100+ RBIs. \n\nHe is currently the hitting coach of the Florida Marlins and was selected out of all the hitting coaches in MLB to coach the series with MLB all-stars against Japanese all-stars in Japan.

The band came into being in 1962 when former schoolmates Jagger and Richards met Brian Jones, who named the band after the title of the Muddy Waters song "Rolling Stone". The original line-up included Jagger (vocals), Jones (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Richards (guitar), Ian "Stu" Stewart (piano), Mick Avory (drums) and Dick Taylor (bass). Taylor left shortly after to return to art school, and was later to form The Pretty Things. He was replaced by Bill Wyman. Another early part-time member was influential drummer Carlo Little, who was with Cyril Davies All Stars.
