==History==
Keith Richards and Mick Jagger became classmates and childhood friends in 1950 in Dartford, Kent.https://web.archive.org/web/20170903121800/http://www.rollingstones.com/artist/mick-jagger/ In the mid-1950s Jagger formed a garage band with his friend Dick Taylor. The group mainly played material by Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Howlin' Wolf, and Bo Diddley.Nelson, Murray N. (2010). The Rolling Stones: A Musical Biography. Greenwood. Jagger next met Richards on October 17, 1961, on platform two of Dartford railway station.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-15333771 Jagger was carrying records by Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters, these revealed to Richards a shared interest. A musical partnership began shortly afterwards.Greenfield, Robert (1981). The Rolling Stone Interviews: Keith Richards. St. Martin's Press/Rolling Stone Press. Alan Etherington and Bob Beckwith joined the trio. The quintet called themselves the Blues Boys.Nelson 2010, pp. 10–11.
In March 1962, the Blues Boys read about the Ealing Jazz Club in the newspaper Jazz News, which mentioned Alexis Korner's rhythm and blues band, Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated. The Blues Boys sent a tape of their best recordings to Korner, who was impressed. On 7 April, they visited the Ealing Jazz Club, where they met the members of Blues Incorporated, who included Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, and Charlie Watts.Nelson 2010, p. 11.
Jones advertised for bandmates in Jazz Weekly in the week of May 2, 1962, after leaving Blues Incorporated. Ian Stewart was among the first to respond to the ad. In June, Jagger, Taylor, and Richards left Blues Incorporated to join Jones and Stewart.https://edition.cnn.com/2012/07/12/opinion/rolling-stones-50/index.html The first rehearsal included Geoff Bradford and Brian Knight, both of whom decided not to join the band. They objected to playing the Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley songs preferred by Jagger and Richards.https://archive.org/details/accordingtorolli00jagg According to Richards, Jones named the band during a phone call to Jazz News. When asked by a journalist for the band's name, Jones saw a Muddy Waters LP lying on the floor; one of the tracks was "Rollin' Stone".Jagger et al. 2003, p. 42.
