An MCRFB Note: It has been 50 years having passed when the Rolling Stones‘ “Satisfaction” first went to the top — No. 1 — on the Billboard singles chart here in the U.S.A., this week in July, 1965.
In his (July 4) Detroit Free Press entertainment column (‘ “Satisfaction” Marks 50-Year Triumph As Stones Hits Town’), Brian McCollum reviews how the group’s 50-year old anthem has significantly impacted a generation in reshaping, in having redefined the modern sound of “rock ‘n’ roll” around the globe, ever since.
“Satisfaction,” the band’s first international No. 1 hit, was recorded in May, 1965, during the Stones third North American (20-city) tour, April-May that year.
The Rolling Stone will take to the stage tonight, Wednesday July 8, 8:00 p.m., at Detroit’s Comerica Park. Welcome, once again Rolling Stones, to the Motor City!
FOURTEEN WEEKS on the singles chart, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones peaked this week at No. 01 (and for 4 weeks) on the Billboard Hot 100, weeks July 04 through July 31, 1965. (source: Billboard).

STONES FIRST U.S. 11 CITY TOUR CAPS FINAL STOP IN BIG APPLE
NEW YORK — The record sales pickup of the Rolling Stones in the United States is attributed to London Records executives Herb Goldfarb and Walt Maguire to the British group’s recent tour here. Both Goldfarb and McGuire, in their capacity as sales-distributions manager, and pop artists and repertoire sales head, respectively, collaborated on an all-out promotion effort tied in with the Rolling Stones’ visit here — and it paid off.
The Rolling Stones album, according to Goldfarb, is pushing the 100,000 mark. Their first single release, “Tell Me,” hit the best-selling charts and sparked the release last week of a follow-up single, “Not Fade Away,” which according to them, “is already on its way.”
In conjunction with the Rolling Stones U.S. tour, London applied a variety of merchandising techniques, to help spark sales of their disks. The company spread around the country with window streamers, easels, special disk jockey kits, stickers, buttons, etc., to build and generate more interest in the Rolling Stones. Both Goldfarb and Maguire admit that it added to a hefty coin outlay but with the disk orders coming in a steady rate, it has turned out to be a profitable investment.
The Rolling Stones have been touring the U.S. since June 1 and wound up with two of their appearances at New York’s Carnegie Hall Last Saturday, June 20. The British band was due to leave for home the following day. END
