Ricky Fenson may not be a household name like Mick Jagger or Keith Richards, but his contributions to the early days of The Rolling Stones are significant. As a bassist in the vibrant London music scene of the early 1960s, Fenson played a key role in the British blues explosion that would give rise to the world-famous rock band. Born on May 22, 1945, Fenson’s musical journey began in a London filled with raw blues and American R&B records, where young musicians sought to bring the authentic sounds of Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry to British audiences.
