Richards: Jagger reunion sparked blues rock

In a 2015 interview with Kirsty Young, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards recalled a significant moment from 1961. He described bumping into his old primary school friend, Mick Jagger, at Dartford train station. This chance meeting occurred years after they had lost touch.

Their renewed connection was cemented by a shared enthusiasm for American blues music. This passion became a defining element of their own unique musical style.

Richards shared a remarkable anecdote about the creation of one of their biggest hits, "Satisfaction." He revealed that the legendary guitar riff for the song was conceived and laid down on a tape machine in his sleep.
