Put the greatest rock 'n' roll front man Mick Jagger, with Hollywood’s legendary film-maker Martin Scorsese and you have a music bonanza at play. Scorsese’s upcoming show ‘Vinyl’ marks the Oscar winning director’s debut on the silver screen. This television show is also his first association with Mick Jagger and his first ever story based on the music scene in the 70’s.
