Rollin' Stone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Rollin' Stone" is the name of a 1948 Muddy Waters blues song.
"Rollin' Stone" was written by Muddy Waters and credited under his real name, McKinley Morganfield. Waters based the song on Mississippi blues singer/guitarist Robert Petway's song "Catfish Blues", but added a beat and some changes to make it his own. "Rollin' Stone" was the first single ever released on Chess Records. The name of The Rolling Stones came from the song and the title of the Bob Dylan song, "Like a Rolling Stone", was influenced by it as well.[1] The magazine Rolling Stone, which also partly took its name from the song, placed the song "Rollin' Stone" at number 459 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004.[2]
