(I Cant Get No) Satisfaction is a song by the English rock band The Rolling Stones, released in 1965. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. Richardss throwaway three-note guitar riff intended to be replaced by horns opens and drives the song. The lyrics refer to sexual frustration and the commercialism of America. The song was first released as a single in the United States in June 1965 and also featured on the American version of Out of Our Heads, released that July. Satisfaction was a hit, giving the Stones their first number one in the US. In the UK, the song initially played only on pirate radio stations because its lyrics were considered too sexually suggestive. In Britain, the single was released in August 1965; it became the Rolling Stones fourth number one in the United Kingdom. The song is considered to be one of the all-time great rock songs. In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine placed Satisfaction in the second spot on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, while in 2006 it was added to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry.
July 12, 2012, is the 50th anniversary of the first Rolling Stones concert at Londons Marque Jazz Club.
Alexis Korners Blues Incorporated (fronted by Mick jagger) were the Thursday night regulars, but they had an appearance on a BBC live broadcast. Because Jagegr wasnt participating in the live broadcast, Brian Jones convinced the club owner, Harold Pendleton, to let their new group perform.
When Jones contacted the local listings paper Jazz News to advertise the show, he was asked the groups name. Jones used the name of the first song on a nearby LP The Best of Muddy Waters entitled Rollin Stone.
The orginal lineup was Mick Jagger on vocals, Brian Jones and Keith Richards on guiatr, Ian Stewart on piano, Dick taylor on bass, and Mick Avory on drums.
