“Keith, he’d played The Beatles all the time. It’d drive me absolutely batty. He didn’t want to listen to anything else.
Keith wanted to write pop songs. We were undeniably a
blues band, but we know we had to be a pop band.“
The Beatles wrote this song, I Wanna Be Your Man, for The Rolling Stones in 1963.
The Stones released it as their 2nd single, and it peaked at #12 on the UK Charts.

Their 2nd LP came out 60 years ago today, on 22 November 1963, the day
President John F. Kennedy was murdered in Dallas. The LP had advance orders
of a half million and sold another half million by September 1965, making it
the second album to sell a million copies in the UK, after the soundtrack to
the 1958 film South Pacific.
