On July 12, 1962, a group of young musicians played their first show at London's Marquee Club. They were filling an empty Thursday slot abandoned by another band, most of them still teenagers, unsure of what to call themselves. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones were among them. The name they settled on that week, glimpsed on a blues record during a phone call, would soon belong to one of the biggest acts in rock. This is the story of the Rolling Stones.
