The tireless STONES – celebrate their 61st birthday as a band this year.
They released their debut single 60 years ago today, on 7 June 63.

COME ON was written and recorded by rock pioneer Chuck Berry in 1961.

The Stones‘ version was a commercial flop in the UK
as well as in the US. But as it was their first 7″ it got
a classic status over the years.

Come on, don’t worry, be happy, you’ll have a stream of hits later.

Lyrically it was about teen life and consumerism.
He wrote the song himself, already in 1955.

It peaked at #2 on the US Billboard charts.
It was covered by a zillion artists.

“Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin’ a bell”

Hail hail rock ‘n’ roll!
