740 The Rolling Stones “Time Is On My Side” 1964

“the Stones arrived at Chess Records at 2120 South Michigan Avenue. They walked into the studio and saw a big black man with a familiar-looking face, up on a ladder, painting the place. It was Muddy Waters. Keith: ‘He was painting the goddamn ceiling, dressed all in white, with white paint like tears on his face, ‘cause he wasn’t selling any records at the time. That throws you a curve: here’s the king of the blues painting a wall. When we started the Rolling Stones, our main aim was to turn other people on to Muddy. We named the group after him’” (Stephen Davis, Old Gods Almost Dead: The 40-Year Odyssey of the Rolling Stones, 2001).
