This is just flat out good.And no one has done more to give credit to the creators of this music than Keith Richards.

The best rock and roll song ever done.

@moobearus You're absolutely right.I don't know how anyone could argue with that.Let It Bleed,Sticky Fingers,Exile.The best of the Stones.Taylor's slide combined with Keith's notes on the intro to Gimme Shelter are classic.That song captured what everyone was feeling at the time.Made the NYTimes ...

The late,great Ian Stewart on piano.Keith must have been taking a well deserved break when they recorded this.

@andrepaul15 I can see it in my mind.It's a small photo,isn't it?Doesn't take up much of the cover.It's his baby.Well,his wife's,too,a pretty Quebecoise.

DuneAquaViva;Maybe someone should tell the Stones.I have both the vinyl and digital copies of Let It Bleed.Both say the vocal on this song is Merry.In interviews,both Keith and Mick have said it was Merry,many times.

You say this Emmaretta person sang on 7 tracks,and got no credit for any of it,...

Man,the late 60's were a time.I was there.Everyone who was there would love to go back,even the Republicans who crap all over it now.

Great song.Did any of these guys write anything else?

Richard is a male Billie Holiday.Pain and soul in every line.Robbie said once in an interview,"sometimes we didn't know if Richard was reaching for a note,or if someone had hurt him really bad."When he hung himself in that hotel room in Miami,I guess we got the answer.

Great cover of my favorite song from Exile.The Stones were a depraved,defiant bunch who didn't give a shit about anything but the music when they recorded this in 1970-71,much of it in Mussel Shoals,Alabama.I think that's why the Crowes love it.

Girl who can actually sing and write.Was beginning to think that wasn't allowed anymore.

Great song.It has Carol King's fingerprints and DNA all over it.Sounds like the classics she wrote and produced for girl groups in the 60's,like Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.

The hottest girl singer ever.No one else even comes close.

A really young Ry Cooder is playing slide on this.He also plays mandolin on Country Honk.Did my share of drugs,but avoided addiction,for some reason.So many of my friends didn't.It's the girls that haunt me worst.If they had a dad or a brother who stood up for them at some point,it might have bee...

No band has shown more respect to the roots of their music than the Stones.,whether it's Buddy,Muddy,or Robert Johnson.

Who else but them would have written this?They're just the most brilliant band there ever was.Period.

Yoko is irrelevant.What I've always found kind of touching was that Lennon and McCartney would put the other's name on their songs after the Beatles broke up and they weren't talking to each other.Give Peace a Chance is a Lennon/McCartney song.Lennon was still sticking to a deal they made as teen...

@cjs33139 You know what's annoying?It's people who focus on the irrelevant,like his voice{Dylan's and Lennon's are so great},and not the writing.Keep watching American Idol and Family Guy.You're truly in Who Gives a Shit What You Say territory.

Why is it that no one confuses Shakespeare with Iago,Dickens with Scrooge,Dante with Satan,but when it comes to songwriters,they become so dense?The song is written in the voice of a slave trader,an evil person.I can't think of another songwriter who's gotten more grief for using characters to te...

What a band.What a song.

why are you talking about guitar players while one of the greatest songwriters of the latter half of the 20th century plays one of his best songs?Who gives a shit who's playing guitar?

Love "I Think It's Going To Rain,"but this song is beyond brilliant.

@apoculamus You're totally right on the lists thing.It's silly and pointless.

Ronnie Hawkins isn't a guitarist.He plays well enough to write,but finds teenage virtuosos like Robbie Robertson to do the hard stuff.Then he's like a musical marine drill sergeant.The Band gave him much credit for wha...

This guy is beyond good.

The question isn't why Prince loves her.That's obvious.The question is why everyone else doesn't..

@noflintstone It was a bit of heroin,but a lot more coke.In the US,it would have been a lot of mandatory time,and the end of the Stones.In Canada,the weight was enough for a trafficking charge,but both the prosecutor and the judge believed Keith's story that it was for personal use.Sentenced him ...

@UtzChips2009 True.But no other musician of Keith's status has done or said more to bring attention to the originators,from Hurt to Muddy Waters,Little Richard,Chuck Berry.His respect is heartfelt and sincere.He has done his best to give back.Few others have.

the best rock and roll song of all time.period.

God I wish they could be 25 again.

Mick and Keith were totally in synch at this time.Complete outlaws.That's why the music is so good.

Sweet Jesus,this is good.

Whether it's in art or war,soldiers flock to a leader they respect.Keith Richards is one of those.

He wrote this song when he was 17,and sounded like a 40 year old black man.One of the best songs of that decade,and that includes the Beatles,the Stones,the Kinks,and anyone else.

An early shot of a band that would,a few years later,change music forever.The most important musicians of the 20th century.

McCartney should do this song in his live shows.It's beyond ridiculous that other people feel free to cover Lennon,while the guy who wrote songs with him nose to nose in the back of a van and changed modern music with him is made to feel he can only do songs he wrote himself.The songs are Lennon/...

Since the Shirelles did the original,I'm thinking it must be a Carol King song.But something in the back of my brain tells me it's Burt Baccarach.

Even minor bands in the '60's like Smith had to have real singers and good musicians to get a listen.How many bands today could sound this good without vocal boosters,computers,and instruments that basically play themselves?
