[Spoken Word: Muddy Waters]
Thank you very much. We can kinda break 'em down toward the Blues now, ya know? Quiet it down a little bit, we gonna get a lot of understanding of what we tryna say here. Ladies and gentleman, give my band a nice round of applause. And we came over here to sing a few Blues for ya. And I feel so good comin’ back to Southside Chicago to sing some Blues, 'cause I haven't been here in a long, long time. [?] used to be my place up the street, ya know? So I’ma break it down, sing some Blues for ya, and we gon' do it now

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
