Cock-A-Doodle-Do... On this day, 50 years ago, The Rolling Stones manager, Andrew Oldham, had the group in the studio to record, Little Red Rooster. This was in order to keep their image as a tough, naughty band, essentially the opposite of The Beatles. Their previous singles in England were Its All Over Now, Not Fade Away, and I Wanna Be Your Man, all of which were successful, but moved them away from The Blues and into a more pop direction. Recording this raw Blues number was for their reputation. The song was released on November 13th, and reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart on December 5th, where it stayed for one week. It remains to this day the only time a blues song has ever topped the British pop charts.
