melody (the rolling stones)

[Steypustjori]

A fantastic song by the master himself, Billy Preston!

R.I.P

[bucephalus48]

Jazz/Rock, and the best of both..........KICKASS!!!

[barbergreg]

Love to get out my Gibson Les Paul Custom and 68 Fender amp and just jam with this. Always been one of my favorite Stones songs. Love the piano riff. Very Johnnie Johnson.

[l2string]

This music was written by BILLY PRESTON but Mick wouldn't split the writing credit sooo Billy never played for the Stones again. Mick could be a real jerk when it came to $ and respect.

[dcgallin]

It's my favourite Stones song too :)

[vamplover111]

A melomane shoud love Melody, if not;  he"she" is almost a watrermelon minded !

[brunop541]

My favorite on this album, with hand of fate.

A new clean sound was rising in the worls of the stones, after Exile on main street

Souvenirs of France

Billy Preston - the 6th Rolling Stone and the 5th Beatle

[tenmaster100]

@51439578 nice, but the 6th stone, always will be Ian Stewart... or maybe taylor or wood xD still, love billy organ style... never to return to the stones

[kidaaa0]

@51439578 ahhh yes Billy was the man along withStu & Nicky Hopkins and Jack Nitzsche, but billy is all over it right on brother

[grazu0l1t3]

[FvckIran]

I'm getting my jazz groove on.

[teddibearsworld]

Billy and the Stones.. pure evil. Doesn't get better than this.

[SamDLite]

Awesome song. Lyrics are kinda whacked though ;)

[kaja66]

@SamDLite lyrics are fantastic ... she took my trailer home she took my sunday booze

[hankrango]

@kaja66 er, that's "boots".

[kaja66]

@hankrango er thats booze

[hankrango]

@kaja66 not according to the sheet music they published at the time of black and blue's release, countless lyric sites and keno.org, possibly the most authoritive stones site around. but if you hear booze, then you hear booze.

[oneeyedoldfatman]

this album was bashed when it came out was said it was made to keep keith out of going to jail in canada for some kind of white powder

now it's called RAW down to earth it's just been one of the best albums of the 70'S sad it's taken so long for people to see just how dam good the Stone's are.

ALWAYS WANTED TO PARTY WITH KEITH

[schmittifans]

Phantastisch! B. Preston & Rolling Stones

[p11dlpar]

LOVE this song and have for so many years. Thanks for posting!

[MemphisBlueAgain]

I always thought that Mick sang "Melody it was her second nigh(t)"

[P1B1U1H1]

Melody is one of their best. It's delicately icy feel is more than frisson.

[rostones02]

That's the name of my daughter...after this Stones song :-)

[AlterWagner]

Geilo! Letzte große LP der Steine (SORRY Fans nach 1976!!Lasst mich am Leben bitte) ^^

I took her out dancing but she drank away my cash

She said, "I'm going to fix my face don't you worry I'll be back"

I'm looking for her high and low like a mustard for a ham

She was crashed out in the bathroom

In the arms of my best friend

^^ Tja.... :-D

5/5

[wesleysmit123]

this is some relaxing music, love it.

Written by ron wood? Because of the reggae-ish sound..?

[slindena]

I loves me some Billy Preston! Rest in peace, brother.

[MissCakeFairy]

Lol, when I'm in an angry mood, I listen to kate havnevik's "new day" three times in a row, then this, three times in a row, and it chills me out so much!

[JuuhachigouSama]

It's sooo calming. I love it.

[wendus93]

Thanks to House MD, Hugh and Lisa I've discovered many many amazing songs that I've never heard before!! Thank you!!

[drgregsgurl]

@wendus93 I agree. I wonder how many people are widening their musical horizons because of Hugh Laurie and House.

[Septate]

Same me ;DD

[RVM1458]

Lisa Edelstein said: I've been obsessed with this song. This song carried me through another decade or two of just, really, every time I've heard it I loved it as much as I did the first time. And it turned out that Hugh Laurie feels the same way about this song. It's his favorite Rolling Stones song and when we discovered that, it was really exciting. It was a little bonding moment. The first week that we knew each other when we were shooting the pilot (for House).

[LetsOpenTheseSodas]
