I remember Spring Break at the Colorado River 1966 on AM radio, and the Stones were playing Chuck Berry music.

I was at Martinez Lake on the Colorado River, about 40 miles north of Yuma, during Spring Break, 1967. The local rock station was playing a lot of tunes by the Monkees, but I don't recall any Rolling Stones songs.

As far as the fishing went, we pretty much got skunked that year. The next year, 1968, I caught a good-sized channel catfish.

1964 recording of Stones performing Berry’s “Reelin and Rockin”

Just one example of a British Invasion group, doing R&B.

The Brits really did much the same thing that Elvis and a few others had already done, a few years earlier, and slightly different music styles.
