The story behind the song

The Rolling Stones, an English rock band formed in 1962, pioneered a gritty, rhythmically driven sound that helped define hard rock. Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, they started out playing cover versions of songs like "Not Fade Away," which they released as their first single in the U.S. This song plays with a rhythmic pattern that is a variant of the Bo Diddley beat, with a second stress occurring on the second rather than third beat of the first measure, updating the "hambone" rhythm. It's a song that embodies enduring passion, suggesting a love that simply won't fade away.
