One of those early recordings was "I’m a King Bee," a bluesy track that appeared on the band's 1964 debut album. But the song was not written by Mick Jagger or Keith Richards, and its roots stretched back nearly a decade before The Rolling Stones recorded it.
When The Rolling Stones recorded their version in January 1964, they were still in the early stages of their career. Jagger, 83, handled vocals and harmonica, while Brian Jones played lead and slide guitar, Richards, 82, played rhythm guitar, Bill Wyman played bass and Charlie Watts was on drums.
The connection between The Rolling Stones and Harpo went beyond a single cover. The British band's early enthusiasm for American blues helped introduce artists such as Harpo to new audiences in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Other British rock groups followed the same path, including The Kinks and The Yardbirds.
