Nanker Phelge
Nanker / Phelge ( "Nanker Phelge" or "Nanker; Phelge") is one of Brian Jones invented double pseudonym , which the songwriter / author team Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for some early record releases (1963-1965) of the Rolling Stones used has been. The pseudonym was also used in compositions in which (like I'm All Right ) the entire band was involved - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts as well as the "unofficial" early Rolling Stones -Member Ian Stewart . The pseudonym Nanker / Phelge is made up of the surname of Jimmy Phelge, a former roommate of Jagger, Jones and Richards, as well as the imaginary name Nanker for a grimace especially often made by Brian Jones .
