Duffy's discovery

DESPITE being just 23, Welsh chart topper Duffy admits that she thought she was the first person to discover the Rolling Stones.

The Mercy singer, who cultivated a love of soul watching her dad’s videos of Sixties music show Ready Steady Go, was so enthralled by Mick Jagger that she wanted to be him.

“He’s sexy, charismatic, bluesy – he’s got it all,” she says.

“Even now. Jumpin’ Jack Flash was the first music I can remember, from a VHS that my dad had.

"And, of course, no one told me, as a six year old, that they weren’t current.

"I thought I’d found the most important thing in music – some obscure band nobody knew.”
