You are a smooth brother.

He singlehandedly brought the Rock world some real class.
Rock and Roll will miss him profoundly.

Thank you for the big beat.

Exile On Main Street is a messy rock’n’roll masterpiece.
Nothing happened in the studio each night until Charlie found the rhythm to whatever riff Keith was unearthing.
Once they locked onto each other, things happened.
He was the engine of the Rolling Stones.
RIP Charlie Watts
Charlies drumming is powerful and unique.
His approach is entirely his own and helped shape the sound of rock and roll.
Charlie Watts was the most elegant and dignified drummer in rock and roll.
He played exactly what was needed - no more - no less.
Ill put on Sway which is my favorite song of all time.
Charlie Watts was one of the great drummers and will be missed.
Rest easy Charliepic.twitter.com/FQKOXiSUpG
Tom T. Hall, Don Everly, and Charlie Watts in less than a week.
This is a kick to the gut.
So sad to lose a unique, iconic drummer.

Drummers are the most ensnared individuals.
Though they are loudest, they are the last to be heard.
They have insecurities due to the fact that everyone has their back turned on them.
Herein lies the bands secret; there is no greatness- without a great drummer.
Charlie Watts has died.
Thank you Charlie for your magnificent feats of drumming.
The engine behind The Rolling Stones and one of the greats.
A kind soft spoken soul with a wicked sense of humor.
