5. JOHN PAUL JONES’ REAL NAME IS JOHN BALDWIN.
Yes, another Baldwin. The Rolling Stones’ manager Andrew Loog Oldham hired session musician Baldwin to work on a single by another group he was managing at the time. He liked Baldwin’s playing, btu wanted a more artistic surname. Not knowing what it was about, Oldham was intrigued by the name of a Robert Stack movie titled John Paul Jones (1959). Oldham called Baldwin and informed him of his new name.
