The song was played to the Rolling Stones during their first North American tour in June 1964 by New York radio DJ named
Murray the K . After the band heard the song they recorded it nine days later at Chess Studios in Chicago. Years later Bobby Womack said in an interview that he told his manager that he did not want the Rolling Stones to record their version of the song, that he told Mick Jagger to get his own song. His manager convinced him to let the Rolling Stones record a version of the song. Six months later when he received the royalty check for the song he told his manager that Mick Jagger can have any song he wants. The Rolling Stones version of "It's All Over Now" is the most famous version ever cut of the song. It was the bands third single released in America, and stayed in the Billboard Hot 100 for ten weeks peaking at # 26. Months later it appeared on their second American album "12 x 5". It was also released as a single in Great Britain where it peaked at # 1 on the Disc charts, giving the Rolling Stones their first number one hit ever. At the time the song was a big hit in Europe for the band and was a part of their live set in the 1960s.Personnel
