Short story:

When The Rolling Stones and Howlin' Wolf appear on the tv show Shindig!, in Los Angeles, California, USA, Wolf introduces Jagger to Son House, who is sitting in the audience.

Full article:

Mick Jagger (vocalist, Rolling Stones) : I met Howlin' Wolf on that show we did... which is when he introduced me to Son House. He was in the audience at the Shindig show. Howlin' Wolf said to me, I want you to come meet somebody. And I said to him, Who? He said, I'll tell you in a minute.

We went up into the audience, walked up with all these children, and he said, This is Son House. And there was this guy sitting in the audience with all these kids, wearing denim overalls before it was fashionable to wear denim overalls. And he said, This is Son House, and Son House did the original Little Red Rooster.

I don't know what he's talkin' about, because he was pretty recherché at the time. He became a bit more known after this. And he said, You shouldn't worry about doing The Little Red Rooster, because I wasn't the first person to do it anyway. He was very, very nice and gentlemanly about it...
