Stones single no.3 was 'Not Fade Away', and this is where they hit the big time! Blending a Buddy Holly song with a Bo Diddley beat, they got too big for the Crawdaddy club and became a household name very quickly. British R&B was on the map and the Stones were about to take it back to America. The rest is geography.

 
London R&B continued....when the Stones ended their residency at the Crawdaddy club, they were succeeded by the Yardbirds, who, with their young guitarist Eric Clapton were set to become the next Stones-like sensation. This was the Yardbirds first single...

Not just featuring Tina Turner.
 
The Yardbirds were a short-lived and turbulent group and much of what they did was innovative and original. Eric Clapton left and was replaced by Jeff Beck. I think Beck did his best work with the Yardbirds, and also that the Yardbirds did their best work with Beck. 'Mister You're A Better Man Than I' was a b-side.
