When "96 Tears" first came out, some radio station started the rumor that "Question Mark and the Mysterians" were actually the Rolling Stones. In fact, the vocals on "96 Tears" sounds a lot like Mick Jagger and are even sung in the Jagger style.

Back in those days, we didn't have the Internet to immediately debunk stuff like that so the rumor spread like wildfire and took several years to finally dispel them.

I never thought at all that he sounds like Jagger. The pitch is higher and whinier.
