The Rolling Stones reworked Robert Johnson's twelve bar blues into a song that much more of a pop song than a blues song. This has been a trend of many artists - to take blues songs and make them less bluesy while putting their own touch on the song. The form of the song, however, is very much related to a twelve bar blues.
The Rolling Stones also took their name from the Muddy Waters song of the same name, showing just how influenced they were by the blues.
