A birhtday is, undoubtedly, a celebration of the past and of past accomplisments. A fragment of the past, one of the earliest possible, is this song.
“A cover of Chuck Berry’s “Come On” was the Rolling Stones’ first single, [recorded on 10 May and] released on 7 June 1963. The Rolling Stones refused to play it at live gigs, and Decca bought only one ad to promote the single. With Oldham’s direction fan-club members bought copies at record shops polled by the charts,helping “Come On” rise to No.21 on the UK singles charts.” Wikipedia
