Did Mick Jagger influence change in the 50s 60s and 70s?

Jagger was not a celebrity in the 50s, the Rolling Stones formed in 1962. Mick and his band influenced music, with some early 60s hits and their first album released in 1966 but not so much the general public or the history of the times as the Beatles seem to take most of the limelight in the 60s and 70s. But, Mick, and the 'Stones" longevity is incredibly remarkable and they are still one of my favorites nearly fifty (Yikes!) years latter.
