Today, on what would've been his 100th birthday, the music of Clifton Chenier is being heard more far and wide than he could've ever imagined. From the original recordings that put the King of Zydeco on the map to the covers from bands and artists he helped influence, Chenier's fiery accordion and raucous, bluesy delivery have touched the souls of everyone from the fledgling aficionado to some of the biggest acts in history. And today, one of the latter is returning the love to one of their early influences. As part of the upcoming album, A Tribute To The King Of Zydeco, The Rolling Stones got into the studio to put their stamp on the song that birthed a genre, "Zydeco Sont Pas Sales."

He turned so many people onto the wonderful free spirited dance music of Zydeco, including ourselves back in the day. Although the development of any music style can seldom be attributed to one artist, there is not a zydeco band who has not followed the template Chenier created," The Rolling Stones stated.
