O/T The Rolling Stones

[Q165]

As a thir**** year old youth they had a significant influence upon me. It was called R&B and I loved the sound. They were my heroes. Of course I had no idea that this original sound to me comprised covers. I had no idea what a cover was. I managed to get their first two LP’s and EP’s. It was only when they inevitably started writing their own material that my hero worship waned. Of course it was not all bad from then on with the album Let It Bleed being a classic. But in the main they belonged to my past.

Two of my favorites from those times are a Chuck Berry cover and a fantastic song that I eas later amazed to find out was written before I was born.
