The Rolling Stones Made Their First Appearance on the U.S. Charts With This Cover Song 61 Years Ago<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since the Rolling Stones have been one of the most successful and beloved rock bands in the world for over 50 years at this point, it’s easy to forget that they were essentially a cover band when they started out, first gaining attention in the U.K. for playing sets featuring tunes from the likes of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley. In fact, it was a cover song that first landed the Stones on the U.S. charts in 1964.<\/p>\n

Originally recorded by Buddy Holly in 1957, “Not Fade Away” was the Rolling Stones’ third single in the U.K., where it reached number three on the charts after being released on Feburary 21, 1964. The track didn’t enjoy quite the same level of success in the U.S., where it was released shortly thereafter \u2014 but it did land them on the Billboard charts for the first time on July 18 of that year, when it peaked at number 48.<\/p>\n

The song’s popularity was likely buoyed by the band’s iconic appearance one month prior on The Mike Douglas Show, where they performed “Not Fade Away” just two weeks after arriving in the U.S. for the first time, according to Rolling Stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was nearly a year later \u2014 on July 10, 1965 \u2014 that the Rolling Stones had their first number one hit on the Billboard charts with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” which held its position for four weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the song that really made the Rolling Stones, changed us from just another band into a huge, monster band,\u201d Mick Jagger said later, per American Songwriter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always need one song,” he continued. “We weren\u2019t American, and America was a big thing, and we always wanted to make it here. It was very impressive the way that song and the popularity of the band became a worldwide thing. It\u2019s a signature tune, really.”<\/p>\n
