The Rolling Stones were much worse in giving credit who they were influenced by. George Harrison and John Lennon who were good friends with the Rolling Stones criticiized them for not being forthcoming in the Beatles influence on them.

What? The Rolling Stones started off as Blues when they first started off as a band and that had nothing to do with being influenced by The Beatles. And it's the other way around where The Beatels were influence by The Rolling Stones especially the album 12X5.

The song is "Ida Red" it's a tradtional song that was done by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.
Both Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and Chuck Berry could play the pants off The Beatles.
