Is it really Mick Taylor on lead guitar? Sounds more like Keith too me, Easy, not too many notes just the right note in the right place and with a great feel to it.
Nolan,,, Keith sings lead on all verses but the chorus is a duet with Mick singing the words happy then Keith follows with baby keep me happy and then baby wont you keep me happy on second chorus
on the oridgional it is not charlie watts on drums its jimmy miller you can read it in the book of keith LIFE. He was telling about the making of happy they made it in 1 afternoon in villa nellcote. charlie was living 3 hours away from the recordings in keith's house and they came up with the song happy and they didn't wanted to wait for charly so jimmy miller startet on the drums. life is a great book very intresting
Keef's solo albums are considerably better than most of the Stone's later output, in my giant, swelling opinion. 'Main Offender' is highly recommended.
Happy 68th Birthday Keef! You will probably outlive us all! You are my Guitar Hero Keith.You and Chuck Berry that is.Many "HAPPY" returns my friend! Never stop playing!
@flyerstone Keef ???....'"I" believe Keef is WELL PRESERVED! He WILL outlive us "ALL", for "WE" are only "MORTALS", and HE is preserved in 80 Proof Booze and A BIG MIX of "NARCOTICS" ...to BOOT! ) No, PUN , intended!..... AWW , Hell !!! YOU "ALL" KNOW IT "IS" A PUN!!!!........ GREAT SONG, Keith!
Keith sang on this one because he was the only one who showed up that day to record, Mick went of yachting or something, Bill and Charlie slept in. It's the producer Jimmy Miller playing drums, Keith on guitar....Keith over dubbed bass later and Mick over dubbed background vocals. So basically it's a Keith solo track ;)
Rock's coolest, hottest, in-your-face, baddest, I-don't-care-attitude, sexy, what you see is what you get, outlaw, pirate, guitar playing MF EVER!!! All the male rock stars WANT to be Keith Richards, who wouldn't??? Rock didn't die with Buddy Holly.....it will when the world loses Keith. Keith's voice is absolute perfection. Long live Keith Richards....You're the best Keith, thanks for all the music, concerts, & laughter!! You Rock!!!
It's Keith saying he needs Anita. As all his best songs are. I need a love to keep me Happy! Listen to what he says he doesn't need. But he needs a love. All about Anita!
i 've always thought the happiness is when my head seems blowing and these few minutes we are so tired but we look 4 a cigarette ,or when we dance at the Stones rhythm,or when we get our mind really empty,i'm afraid of the day i'll be unable to do each of these things,i've discovered we can be happy when,sitting on a bench,i hear the indistinct voices of a schollchildren returning home,i know that to love the childen voices is love,yes i'm old,but i still love,i love to love and the Stones too!
no, he's not the rock, he's the roll! (He actually says in his book that everyone messes up and talks about "rock" when it's really all about the roll)
@robielv - actually the story behind this song, The song was done in four hours in the basement of Kieths house in France, Nellcote, It was no Rolling Stones record, It's got the name on it, but it was actually Jimmy Miller on drums and Bobby keys on baritone with Kieth overdubbing the guitar and bass. They where just waiting for the rest of the guys to turn up for the real sessions for the rest of the night and they they decided to try it out and it all flew together.
@nerdflanders8710 dude you need tochill and realize that when your typing people cant hear tone of voice and dont know who you are so dont get you jokes plus your very hostile it doesnt matter in the first place weather it was a play on words or not its a good song
I LOVE KEEF====he has brought much joy to my life ....and if he can kick smack i can give up the booze.....READ HIS BOOK IT IS RICH REWARDING AND MESMERIZING...
this song to me is keith saying ok guys i wrote alot of these great songs let me have a crack at singing one even though i have , a cool screatchey voice thats not half as good at micks.example dead flowers,and he just nailed it ,nobody should even try ,god bless this man n what he's been through gives me hope to stay sober of hard drugs speed,herion,pills. A few beers good bud good friends and woman ,and rock n roll is so much better 'believe me people'done it all and its so much better sober
mick (jagger) was in paris for a few days and charlie and bill lived a few hours away from Nelcotte. (bill often wasn't present at the recording sessions at nelcotte because he said they would call him over and by the time he got their they would be all gone or asleep). Mick added some of those vocals in LA in early 72 at sunset sound. im not sure if mick (taylor) is on this track but if he is it is probably very little backing track
fyi, i messed up on the description (listentothesesongs is another of my accounts) and the drums is jimmy miller, percussion is bobby keyes and also he does the trumpets (and sax as usual). Keith woke up one morning (or most likely up all night) in a good mood (during the period of keith and anita living in Villa Nelcote) and it happened that the only people that were at the house were jimmy miller (the stones producer since beggars banquet) and bobby keyes their saxophonist.
@boreese1 keith richards .calm down buddy u should of since 8 months ago,anyway richards owns this song and mick is backup for once of not many but thats what make shim so great ,keith nows his voice isn't greatest but nobody on this earth could of sung this and dead flowers better.ps oh ya and a little t and a baby she my little rock n roll baby .stonesgreatest rock band ever period agree ,no reason to get mad bro.
@robielv i didnt say anything about keith's voice i only told dw800 that mick jagger sings along in the song. i think the stones are the greatest band ever and i agree that nobody could sing this song as good as he did.
@903davesharonpoky That he was. This was keiths album cause mick was in england while the rest of the band was in greece at his villa. He was living the life!
