The Rolling Stones

In August 1964, during the height of the British Invasion, The Rolling Stones were establishing themselves as a major force in rock music. This live recording on the "Red Skelton Show" features the band performing "Tell Me," among other songs, showcasing their growing popularity. Prior to this appearance, they had released their self-titled debut album in April 1964, which introduced their blues-influenced rock sound. Following this live performance, they would go on to release their second album, "12 X 5," in October 1964, further solidifying their presence in the music scene. Notably, the show's host, Red Skelton, remarked on their image, indicating the band's rebellious appeal contrasted with the more polished image of The Beatles. The performance marked a pivotal moment in their early career, reflecting both their rising fame and the cultural shift in music during the era.
