The Rolling Stones have released the first video in a six-part YouTube series telling the stories behind their biggest songs from the 1960s.
The first episode covers 1965’s “The Last Time” and explores the influences of early rock ‘n’ roll and Chicago blues on the musicians. The video consists of interviews with, among others, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Little Richard and BB King, coupled with footage from the period.
The material comes from the BBC archives. Producer Samira Choudhury: “It aims to give a deeper meaning to the Rolling Stones’ most influential records and show how the cultural and social changes of the 1960s still resonate today”.
