You think I'm smaller than I look on stage, right?
I'm 115 or 120 pounds and I'm 5 feet 8. They look at me on stage and think, no one can be that skinny, so they compensate for it mentally by elongating me.
-- The Salina Journal, 1976

Bill will have been shorter than beautiful little Mandy Smith, whom he started dating at just 13, marrying her in 1989, when she'll have been 18.
Mandy is 5ft7 and had a career as a model and a singer. She suffered from a mysterious wasting sickness, but she's healthy and happy now and the proud mother of a son named Max.
Perhaps Mandy could be considered for a page, Rob? She was born on the 17th July, 1970, and still measures in at 5ft7 according to the information I've just read about her. 👱♀️🌹
5ft6.5.

Being on the short side didn't impair Bill's ability to be a success with the ladies - he's a Rolling Stone! 📀🎶
Bill gets 5ft6.25. 😉👍🎵

I am surprised! Another example of a rock star who is a lot shorter than he looks on stage!

Jayme
Peter Noone is about 5'9.5" 5'10"
I work at the Star Plaza Theatre in Indiana, and he played there not to long ago.
I was working backstage and he came up to me and asked if I had seen a lady with a walker. I thought it was funny and I had a small convo with him.
Anyways, I'm about 5'9" barefoot, and my dress shoes I wear for work gimme almost an inch. He was just a smidge taller than me.

Like most pop stars in the sixties Bill Wyman's height was exaggerated. He was listed as 5'9" and Brian Jones 5'8" although I wonder whether they were measured with cuban heels. I never doubted Wyman's height so 5'6" does surprise me. I would love to know how tall Eric Burdon is because he was listed as 5'8" and looked considerably shorter. Another height I would be interested in finding out is Peter Noone because he has been listed as 5'7", 5'9", 5'10" and 5'11" See if you can track him down Glenn!

Wyman had a very slender build which may have made him seem even smaller at times. I do remember seeing them in concert and Wyman seemed tiny...now in 08 he's 72 and likely down to 5'5 if not less.

Saw him once on a talk show-forget which one, Conan, Leno. Was surprised at how tiny he looked not just from the comparison to the host but to his surroundings. His chair, loveseat, just looked massive like a child was in it. His legs were dancing above the floor.

I always thought 5'8, but now I agree with 5'6, maybe less. I guess Jones was 5'5.

Even with lifts, he still wouldn't reach 6'2". I'd say 5'10"-5'11" tops.

my friend who is about 6'2 has a regular camera pic with mc hammer when we graduated high school in 2002, my friend was like 3-4 inches taller then him, id guess 5'10 low 5'11 high, i agree with glenn on mc's height as usual, he would need lifts to "look" or people to believe he's 6 or taller

Rob, there's a picture of Hammer and Stephen Marboury (6'1"-6'2") on Getty Images. Now, next to Stephen in the picture, Hammer as a 6'0" doesn't compute!

No way he Hammer is 6' tall! I saw him standing next to Deion Sanders, who is 6'1, and he was a good 4-5 inches shorter. I would probably give him 5'8.5 on a good day.

Editor Rob the Hammer must have a clone...imposter, or taller twin ;-)
