The Rolling Stones

On January 15, 1965, The Rolling Stones performed "Time Is on My Side" live on The Ed Sullivan Show, marking a pivotal moment in their early career as they solidified their presence in American pop culture. Prior to this performance, the band had released their self-titled debut album in April 1964, followed by "(Get Your Ya-Ya's Out!)" in 1965, which further showcased their evolution. The live recording coincided with the height of the British Invasion, where The Rolling Stones, alongside other British bands, captivated American audiences. The exposure on The Ed Sullivan Show was vital for their popularity, helping to introduce their music to a broader audience. Interestingly, "Time Is on My Side," originally written by Jerry Ragovoy, became one of their notable hits, reflecting the band's knack for interpreting and revitalizing existing songs into their own signature style.
