June 3, 1964 –
The Rolling Stones taped their U.S. (national) television debut on the ABC series The Hollywood Palace, hosted by Dean Martin, on this date.
Dean Martin’s rude introduction of the band still rankled Keith Richards many years later. At the time, Bob Dylan was so offended by Martin’s contempt for the Stones, he noted in the liner notes for 1964’s Another Side of Bob Dylan – “Dean Martin,” he wrote, “should apologize to the Rolling Stones.“
