Hopkins played on so many different bands records. I agree best R n R piano of his era.

Merry Clayton did and still totally blows me away.

Ian Stewart was a virtuouso at the keys and beefed up Stones sound from embryo to Undercover. He was kept away from public image of the band due to not having that look the other lads did.

The Rolling Stones lineup when they debuted in 1962 was : Mick Jagger vocals, Brian Jones guitar and harmonica, Keith Richards guitar, Dick Taylor bass, and Mick Avory drums. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts would join late 62, early 63. Dick Taylor would later join the Pretty Things, Mick Avory would become one of the Kinks...

Brian laid the foundations of the Stones style, and Mick Taylor left the band in '74 as he wanted to kick his heroin habit and also he had wanted to contribute more songs while Mick and Keith were reluctant to let him.

According to Keith Richards ("Life") one of the Stones' first drummers (1 or 2 gigs) was Mick Avory (The Kinks).
