The Rolling Stones - The Singer Not The Song

[IDLERACER]

Notice that the melody of the first four measures is pretty much identical to the Beatles' "Not A Second Time." This was the British B-side of "Get Off My Cloud." In the U.S. the B-side was "I'm Free." All great tunes.

great B side from the 45 of Get off of my cloud

[123jsbach]

Lol! life before the day of auto tuning!

[1jackreynolds]

Best Stones song.

[joeb810]

This song is so far out of tune that it's in tune. I'm 2 years younger than Jagger and have been playing since I was 7 and had few hits under my belt. There is no way in hell that this can be covered EVER!

[cookie11464]

Had this on a B side of 'Get off of my cloud'. Both sides are now knackered due to overplay!!!

[fatesrush]

this song proves that the best stones songs are not the ones getting constantly hammered on the radio.

[puddypuss]

there was a film with dirk bogarde and john mills around this time , a western with bogarde as the sinister non violent villain, which raised a few eyebrows. later he would appear with mick jagger,intetresting.....

[Nobjan]

My very best favorite band of all time.

[jbstonesfan]

Stones always have been there from the 60's to today. What a band.

This IS the credo Mick lives by: It IS the singer, not the song. He, for all of his disgusting antics, has capitalized on this anthem to himself... and so it goes... And to wit, this 'anthem' is a treasure. Thank you for posting.

[TheMarishka9]

@tracyredell! Nothing to add! That is. I just LOVE this song!!!

[DavidChristley]

the stones - so much more than the "hits" that made their name.

great b sides & album tracks from start to finish

oh wait - they haven't finished yet!

[godzilla77able]

i  love this song

[excelsior544]

Plodding tempo, out-of-tune twelves strings and strident singing: Beautiful!! Wouldn't change a thing . . .

[225marklin]

@excelsior544

Totally agree!

Is that Brian's falsetto on the last line of the final chorus?

[excelsior544]

@225marklin

Betting it's Keith.

[225marklin]

@excelsior

Or Mick, actually. We've heard him climb that high on other tunes!

[007TambourineMan]

@excelsior544 well said!
