Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 ? 3 July 1969) known as Brian Jones was an English musician and founding member of The Rolling Stones. Jones was a gifted multi-instrumentalist, and arguably one of the first English rhythm and blues pioneers from the early 1960s to employ the use of non-traditional instruments, such as the sitar, experiment with the slide guitar, and to integrate other genres, including jazz and psychedelic rock in his musical compositions. Throughout his tenure in the Rolling Stones, he maintained an inventiveness that saw the emergence of the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus and other such initiatives. Jones is also remembered for cultivating his image with flamboyant attire and a lifestyle that included recreational drug use during the dawn of a new youth culture that centered around "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll."
