Before they fell in love with the blues, before they started writing songs, from forming one of the most famous bands in the world, Jagger and Richards, have known each other since they were small. “I can't remember when I didn't know him,” Mick told Rolling Stone magazine in 1995. “We lived a street away; his mother knew my mother and we went to elementary school together from 7 to 11. We used to play together and we weren't the closest friends, but we were friends". The future rock stars grew up in the city of Dartford, in the far east of Greater London. When Richards' family moved to a new neighborhood, Jagger and Richards saw each other less. They separately developed a love of rock'n'roll in their teens, with Jagger even forming a band. "I used to do shows on Saturday night with all these different little groups. If I could get a show, I would. I used to do crazy things - you know, I used to go and play shows and get on my knees and roll on the floor - when I was 15, 16 years old," he said. Richards was aware of Jagger's performances at the time, although the two ran in separate circles, with the scholar Jagger studying at the London School of Economics and the indifferent Richards studying at the Sidcup Art School, where he began playing the guitar. Their paths would cross again on the morning of October 17, 1961, on platform two at Dartford Rail Station. Jagger, then 18, and Richards, 17, were going to school. "What happened to me and Mick back then, was that he carried two albums - Chuck Berry's 'Rockin 'at the Hops' and 'The Best of Muddy Waters.' I had only heard of Muddy up to that point," Richards said. Jagger with the records and Richards with his guitar, started a conversation about rock and blues on the train. Then Richards learned that Jagger had ordered two different albums from Chicago Chess Records not available in England. Excited and wanting to hear the LPs, Richards invited Jagger for tea that afternoon. After the audition session, the budding singer invited the amateur guitarist to join his band, 'Little Boy Blue and The Blue Boys' which played songs from Eddie Cochrane, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry. The following year, they would find a kindred spirit in Brian Jones, and the three of them formed a new band, named after one of the songs on the two discs Jagger carried at the train station. With "Rolling 'Stone" by Muddy Waters as their inspiration, the new group became ROLLING STONES. In 2015, a plaque was unveiled at Dartford Station, where Richards and Jagger had the fateful contact. "For the thousands of passengers to realize what a great role the station has played in bringing the Rolling Stones together," said Jeremy Kits, leader of the Dartford Borough City Council.
