"Cry to me", The Rolling Stones

[mears89]

The south African outfit The Staccatos i think do the best version,havent heard the BZN version yet.

[carann5]

Oh no! I love the Rolling Stones...but this is too slow. The song belongs to Solomon Burke!

[MrKazikes]

płaczę nad sobą - płaczę za tobą

[MrKazikes]

łaczę nad sobą - płacze za tobą

[Wwerner25]

Tolle Version aber Solomon Burke und Duffy singen sie ein Tick besser!

[Mftjan2000]

Solomon Burke s version is AMAZING. I love this version because the BEAT is more in keeping with the SADNESS of the song. Keith s guitar is SOOOOO incredible....I shouldn t be DRIVING while listening to this. Mick s voice has never been sexier than on this song.

[Macgrad87]

Does anyone who was a teen in the '60's remember dancing the grind to this song?

[MrLittleoldlady]

@Macgrad87 YES YES YES>...this was the only version of the song I knew for years! I realized Solomon Burke sang it when I watched Dirty Dancing. I do love that version....but, Mick being sad.........makes my heart skip a beat!!!!!!

[mangledinal]

NOPE--Solomon Burke does this best, by far!!! No offense to the Stones or Mick, but the Bishop of Soul could do it so much better.

[slowjoe1949]

outstanding

[demonsbutterfly]

This is every bit as good as the original....superb version.

[shaneh1983]

great cover

[gafliglebidle]

I prefer this one to Solomon's... I'm pretty sure it's the guitar that makes it for me, but either way it's a fantastic song all around.

[PAULLONDEN]

@gafliglebidle Yeah,that guitar work is amazing,at 2:32 you hear the tears falling. Great soulful vocals too ofcourse.

[kelllydonia]

I remember cry-cry-crying to this....... and then the next track would have me bop-bopping lol

[TeddyThomas12812]

This is the second best version I've heard, BZN66 with Jan Veerman and Annie Schilder does the best.

[juaniesp76]

I like the original version more but this one is ok... And it has nothing to do with race.

[dougallsdiscs]

Great track,thanks.

[dougallsdiscs]

@ibingo09 Are you NUTS?,as just because you MAY be a non-white?,it doesn't allow for your comments such as you have done above?.Grow up man,it's 2011 and not early 20th century USA.

[99Quench]

@ibingo09 Nah - sorry. You're racist, the worst kind - small minded bigot or to put it another way - pig ignorant. Racists come in all colours/colors/couleurs etc and you're one of them.

[maedilo1]

Sexy.. prefer this version. Nice video also.



[leenaseks]

@maedilo1

Thank you very much

[laggie24]

I am sure for many this tune waybck meant alot and hearing it to-day surely gives us to nod out heads and a light smile. Tks. for these great pictures from the old times that won't never come back, but I don't care. Hmmmm I learnt not to feel like crying for what has pasted..naaa ... instead nice to be still here listening to these oldies. Tks. for this good sound here :-)

[CRISTINA45000]

Its a nice, but Solomons Burke version still makes me soooo woozy and lifted

[WendyKS93]

I have always felt that the Stones were at their very best when they sang those beautiful slow love ballads. Absolutely love this.

[silviaesilvia]

WOW

[Rustina61]

Another song by the Stones that I came across by accident. One word - WOW !!

[yamahonkawazuki]

@Rustina61 no doubt. had i not been looking for solomon burke, id not have found this

[TheStonesfan50]

i love this

[brunop541]

A great cover of Salomon Burke. I'm fifty year old and of course, i had discovered

rythm and blues by groups like the stones and so many others musicians

Then, i bought the originals chess and stax records.

In france we had Sylvie Vartan! all the time.

Heavy sound of the guitars on this one, better than the original, i think

Never heard this one thince 30 years.

Thanks a lot ,out of my head.

[karmicsin1]

The Stones will always be the best.....

[mojdragiluka]

Something new in the rock - two quitars have the conversation. Brian asks and Keith answers. And they play like two Devils. This is my opinion but I really thing so. Now only Metallica know to play quitars. And sing.

[bennevisplace]

More than anything they'd recorded up til then, this track showed the Stones to be much more than just R&B mimics. This is the real deal: a passionate and original treatment of Bert Berns/ Solomon Burke's classic. Both are great.

[321quixote]

中学生の頃聴いていたビートルズは、今は、ほとんど聴かないが、­ストーンズは、相変わらず聞き入ってます＾＾



[Sjonne]

Fuk, what is that you Pertermaon Aschole ?

How old are You Pittermon , 4 years old. ?

[ttesoro]

There are different decades of the Stones. This one, covering blues and soul is great. But there was more to come.

[Sjonne]

Pretty things version is bettter

[Pittermon1969]

@Sjonne

Fuk it, Stupid, Spinner

[Pittermon1969]

@Sjonne Aschhole

[genericgeorge]

I watched a Brian Jones vid on youtube about a dude, or one of the many dudes, who authored a book on Jones. No-one had a good word to say about him as a person. Mick and Keith were probably assholes to him but he bought a lot of stuff on himself by what I've heard.

[KellyGreen5555]

@genericgeorgeYeah, Brian was talented, but by all accounts a really mean asshole to those around him...beat up girls, drug addled to the point that he could not hold a guitar...demanding more money than the other Stones, even though Mick and Keith were the songwriters. I have little respect for the little shower of shit.

[imaStonesFan]

i almost missed that at the end but i`m glad i caught it cause it was in my favorites bit now anymore I`ll catch another users ......of this song

[imaStonesFan]

@flybreath okay :) 

[imaStonesFan]

@flybreath He was great and deserves better!!

that was wrong to say that at the end of this video.

[imaStonesFan]

@flybreath Well said flybreath !!

you are so right!!! What would brian think? i`m sure he wouldn`t like it!

[imaStonesFan]

@flybreath lol

[imaStonesFan]

who the heck said Tom Petty is better than the stones?

[computerrage]

@imaStonesFan Tom Petty did!!

[pcpettyhead]

@imaStonesFan I say Petty is better than the Stones, He did the same thing to them that they did to the original R & B and Soul artists. He took what they did and made it better. Sorry. :)

[imaStonesFan]

I like this as much as i like the original ,stones did fantastic

[tompetty1976]

Tom Petty's version I think is the best, but this is second. Then the Soloman B, then everyone after that!! This is such a great song. Geee the Stones ROCK!

[littlehelp2]

Brian and Jimmy...... the've gone to early......

[ennui406]

Thanks for posting this GREAT tune. The early Stones were more bluesy - LOVE it

[narozzz]

There are actually people who think the Pretty Things version is better. These people are what we call......"deaf".

[pythons37]

Just a great version. Thank you for posting.  Waik, Walk with me. Just great..

[sirronald69]

*****

[POWGoodkat]

That picture of Jimi and Brian is boss!

[jennyssissi]

A fantastic version of a great song. I listen to this song back in the 60th but then lost the record. I’ve waited a long time for someone to post this. Thanks!

[mpsicily]

RIP Brian and "Stu" = Let's not forget Ian Stewart, the "Forgotten 6th Rolling Stone" = He helped form the band and picked alot of their music in the beginning stages of the band's career.....People either don't know about him or forget about him because he "was politely asked by management not to be on stage with the rest of the band because he looked too normal". They wanted that "wild image". But he was a great blues and boogie woogie piano player who loved the old blues songs. RIP "Stu".

[mpsicily]

Great Song = Both versions are great. RIP Solomon Burke (March 21, 1940 to October 2010)...

[TheHlokey]

Antarblue: ditto that. I came to wonder how a white girl from Syosset LI came to love the blues...then it hit me, all the background in my life was these white groups that brought the blues to my world. they built my capacity to look for and enjoy the originals...thanks to YOUTUBE and all you wonderful people who find and post this stuff. THANK YOU!

[SunflowerContest]

boring version. You cannot make it better than Burke

[rocktenniscat]

Much to my Dad's surprise, I chose the Stones "Out of our Heads" LP for a 10th birthday present in a record store. (Based, of course on "Satisfaction" - which was all over the radio.) BUT, how wonderful to discover gems like this one. Even to a 10 year old, this song was riveting, SO powerful. THANK YOU MR. SOLOMON BURKE for the great soul music.

[steveconn]

The comment about Brian at the end is a low blow; Mick & Keith came to his drug bust hearings to support him, did their best to coddle him, but the guy was a drug-sodden, defeated basketcase by the end. No one could save him...

[ttesoro]

Rolling Stones brought black music " back " to USA. And they helped lots of black artists become popular in Europe. Even more popular than in USA. That´s a fact.

They helped me to find blues and r&b. I just find it difficult to understand people saying things like Elvis or Stones "stole" black people´s music. That´s simply not true.

[sarena12]

@ttesoro I have to agree with you. The Rolling Stones really appreciated black music. When I watch the documentary of The Rolling Stones, I watch them celebrate Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and so many others. I don't know too much about Elvis. Most of the time when it comes to him I just hear that he stoled the songs from others.

[ttesoro]

@sarena12

Well, if u listen to Elvis´ versions of some "black" originals, u will notice he didnt make copies of them, he made them sound fresh and sometimes (not always!) even better than originals. When Elvis sang Beatles or Dusty Springfield or (earlier) songs made by his mates on Sun Records, nobody said he "stole" them.

[rocktenniscat]

@sarena12 - The Stones helped Tina get back on her feet after her escape from Ike Turner. She was beat up and penniless - it was literally an escape - to save her life. They took her on tour.

[RollingOrmond]

Love Keith's (or is it Brian's) sliding crying notes at 2:26 on

[god7772007]

wow

[god7772007]

this is sweet  thanks mick for this song

[Sephir9x]

My favorite song by the Stones at the moment, love it.

[staff50ord]

I thought Solomon Burke was the only person who could sing this song, but Jagger did a great job also

[leolovezsixties]

Wow! Hear the "Fender" cry throughout this song! Loved this album track ever since I first heard it in 1965. I already knew the song then by the Pretty Things, who where in the Dutch charts with it!

That Pretty Things version - also on U-tube - is totally different, but also - as do most Pretty Things songs - bring back great memories for me!

[KellyGreen5555]

Mick Jagger is gorgeous...Goddamn.

[195477]

@KellyGreen5555 Duffy is more gorgeous in my books and she does a great version of this song.

[katula9]

@KellyGreen5555

So true, plus the emotion in his voice...that cat is a killer.

[JohHennie]

Super!! Brings back so many memories!!

Thanks !

[JohHennie]

Super!! Brings  back so many memories!!

Thanks !

[zahdio]

Antar-you got it. This music still sounds as big as day 1. I bought the album in the '60s, but never heard Solomon Burke's version until Dirty Dancing. All of their stuff from that era was great.

[mrflex83]

great song

[cattboylb]

spitzen video toller song danke

[racine09]

"the smell of her perfume" line suggests that the song is sung to another man - sexually ambiguous?

[Antarblue]

As a matter of fact the first time I ever heard the name Solomon Burke was in '65 on the back of the vinyl album "Out of Our Heads" (U.S.) which contained this cut!

[Antarblue]

We didn't even know they were covers then!

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

@flybreath

Well said Gabri Well said and thanks : )

Thumbs up girl!!

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

I don`t understand the idiots that gave

(hatmap) thumbs down???

i guess all u commenting must not be stones fans!!

I mean yeah original is mostly better but Gowd!! come on This is a stones vid he had every right to say what he said!!

[Antarblue]

Ima this sounded so heavy to me when I first heard it back in '65! I had never heard the original then. None of us had; it was a segregated society. The guy that commented that the original is better only heard the original because of people like the Stones who popularized R & B for the white masses!

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

@Antarblue Yeah Good point!!

I agree

[salgoudsamoht]

@Antarblue well that's true, except for those of us who grew up listening to WDIA in Memphis. Which besides me, come to think of it, there weren't that many. I never could understand what was wrong with the other white people there. Japan is much better. Mr. Otis Redding and Mr. Wilson Pickett, may they both rest in peace, are the only artists I can listen to after the Stones. Except for Rev. Al Green, the late Mr. Rufus Thomas and Mr. Isaac Hayes, may they rest in peace. Yes, you're right.

[Dukky]

@Antarblue 1. well i am one of the white people who can say i heard Solomon Burke's version first and prefer it for it's raw emotion that doesn't sound rushed. 2. the Rolling Stones did not popularize R&B for anyone. i would love you to say that to someone in public and have them laugh in your face.

[Antarblue]

@Dukky How do you know? You weren't even born yet; you weren't there. You don't remember the extreme segregation in music at the time. Yer a suburban white guy. In 1965 none of white guys had ever heard of Solomon Burke. If you like Solomon Burke yer enjoying the Rolling Stones legacy!

[Dukky]

@Antarblue i didn't even know The Rolling Stones covered it. i heard it while listening to a 60s collection of blues. kthnx.

[Antarblue]

@Dukky The point is what were you doing in 1965? We were getting turned on to R & B by the Stones. Dude, It was a dif world: no cell phones, no computers, no blacks in yer school, etc.

[Dukky]

@Antarblue OMG, no, really? i thought cell phones had been around since the 1800s! and blacks NOT in my school?! *gasp* i NEVER knew. thank you, Captain Obvious, for without you telling me these things, i would have never known!!

[Antarblue]

Just Know that the was a huge past before you were born. things happened. 23 years is nothing in R & B time and the role that the Stones had in popularizing it in the mainstream. I know I was there. Just because you benefit from the universe of music on the web doesn't mean that you can deny what happened in 1964. Then there was only vinyl, AM radio and one trend at a time. You don't even remember the 80s!

[Dukky]

@Antarblue clearly sarcasm doesn't register in someone so fucking old.

[coy0te9]

@Antarblue

I don't know where you lived in 65, but in Atlanta most of us white kids listened to black r&b radio. We knew Solomon Burke and Little Richard and Ray Charles. Some of us, the older kids, even went to the concerts.

[Antarblue]

SF Northern CA. definitly not the south. There were all-white town and cities in those days and i grew up in one ever tho it was across the bay from Oakland. Really, It was the Stones, Beatles, Mayall, Clapton, Bloomfield, Butterfield, et al who made us all aware of the wonderful American R & B that was going on right in our back yards. Historically, this 'black to white' cultural migration was the basis, then of what has become rock and roll. I am grateful to the British artists !

[ElsinoreK]

Thank you... I love this song.... opened many memories

[okkie1968]

such a beautiful song......thanks!

[louiseduvee]

Great audio, too.

[demonsbutterfly]

Fantastic Version. "Out of Our Heads" the U.S. Version is one of the True Great 60's Rock Albums. The Stones were deadly serious musicians on this album.

Never tire of this music

[clarkewi]

@demonsbutterfly The early stones, "Not Fade Away" etc. were produced by none other than the great Phil Spector - had that "wall of sound". These early works are masterpieces.

[hatmap]

Another great cover song by the Stones, along with "Route 66", "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love", and "Around and Around". Their versions are better than the originals.

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

@hatmap

Yes stones fan I love the stones too

[TheCarmen6811]

Thanks yesssSS finally

[piggyjo]

finally, every so often I look for this, THANKS so much for putting this up!
