“Satisfaction” is one of a kind. Keith Richards claimed he heard the song being played in a dream he had, by Otis Redding and the Stax / Volt house band (Booker T & The MGs), and that the fuzzy guitar was supposed to be imitating the sound of the horns. Richards said he woke up, turned the tape recorder on, and recorded 30 seconds of “Satisfaction” and 44 minutes of himself snoring. Otis did record “Satisfaction” at Monterey Pop Festival in a style like in Keith’s dream. “Get Off Of My Cloud” is another Rock/Soul hit from the same time period by The Stones, and “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” is just another creature altogether. Thanks!
Hey my man I lived and enjoyed this piece of art. This was like a hymn for young and rebellious rockers teens in Cuba. I went back more than 40 years when I danced and I knew that I could go to jail for weeks or prison for years ( you could be considered a treat to the system)in a matter of minutes but I couldn’t stop dancing, singing and moving with this song. And honestly I didn’t know anything about the lyrics just Satisfaction, my English at that time was 0.0 😂but the Government knew what the song was about and banned many bands and singers. They were risky crazy times for people like us who’s trying hard to see the light in the darkness and we did it. I started to think differently, every night we were sitting in front of the Maine Memorial and the police trying all the time chasing us down. I’ll never ever forget those old times. 🫵🫵👍👍
"Miss You", "Shattered", "Can't you hear me knocking?", "Sympathy for the devil", "Emotional rescue", "Slave", "she's so cold", "Mixed emotions". Are all exceptional Stones songs. Great reaction. 🤙
Came here to say that. This is the first song by The Rolling Stones I remember. My dad had their first vinyl album I about wore it out! It was also my dad’s favorite song I played it at his funeral so I would love to see Polo react to it. Gimmie Shelter too.
The Rolling Stones brought American blues back to America during the British Invasion in 1964. I bought this 45 single in 1964 for 55 cents when I was ten years old . My life was complete , being surrounded by the Beatles, the Stones and the Supremes . This song is the greatest rock song .
@joniarmel7308 yes! I was 10 when this was released, and the 45 single was the first record I bought for myself. My Grandmother had bought us the Beatles album. The next year I made a big splurge with my babysitting money, went out bought The Supremes and Sonny & Cher😎
Keith dreamed that riff, got up in the middle of the night, grabbed his guitar and put in on tape before he forgot it. Their first #1 hit in America, back in 1965. Another great riff, in my opinion, is in The Last Time.
Gimme Shelter was released in 1969. It's my favorite Rolling Stones song. Satisfaction was released in 1965 and the Stones best work was likely between then and 1981, particularly 1969 to 1974 with Mick Taylor's guitar work.
Imagine, if you will, hearing this in 1965, I am not sure you have any idea just how powerful this was...The Beatles had just exploded with all their lovey dovey feel good yet Awesome music and then you get This! It showed a slightly different side of rock and roll... I am about to be 70, even my Mom Loved Mick Jagger! This is one of those tunes that never gets old..and you would not believe how many times it was played in the radio! It always seems to pick me up a bit, lol.......Great react Polo, Keep On!
I feel similarly - Loved The Beatles, but the Stones had that Blues based Rock vibe that The Beatles didn't, in fact, John Lennon said he wanted The Beatles to be more like the Stones/harder edged. Born in '59, just in time for the greatest music (era) ever.
Early hits included Hey, You, Get Off Of My Cloud, Time Is On My Side, The Last Time, Play With Fire, Let's Spend the Night Together (shocking suggestion for the times, Ed Sullivan wanted it changed to "Let's Spend...Some Time Together" for his family show, but Mick somehow kept 'accidentally' forgetting and singing the real words; and Mother's Little Helper. Getting more into the psychedelic era were the wistfully beautiful Ruby Tuesday, She's a Rainbow, and You Can't Always Get What You Want. As the idealism of the mid 60s 'peace and love' movement began to collapse into violence and Stones' founder member Brian Jones was found drowned in his swimming pool, we got the much darker-themed Sympathy for the Devil and Gimme Shelter. A great blues cover is Mick doing Robert Johnson's Love In Vain - there are several live versions on YT, one of which is from the Hyde Park concert a few days after Brian's death, at which Mick had first read a poem and released thousands of white butterflies in Brian's memory.
The last jam in that song may be one of the top five snippets of music ever caught on tape. It's just brilliant and imho it was some of The Stones very best work.
@@umpdaddy1It’s like two awesome songs combined into one. Part 1 is pure rocker with one of Keith’s dirtiest (in a good way 🤘) riffs ever and Jagger’s growling vocals, and Part 2 is Santana-like Latin vibes and soaring guitar work from the virtuoso Mick Taylor. Doesn’t get much better than this!
Right! There wouldn’t have been a second half without Bobby Keys. Check him out on Delaney and Bonnie and Friends’ “Pigmy” recorded live about a year earlier with Bobby Keys on sax, his buddy Jim Price on trumpet, Delaney Bramlett, Eric Clapton and George Harrison (and maybe Dave Mason) on guitars. Bobby Whitlock claims that’s where Bobby Keys, who played sax on both, got the idea. th-cam.com/video/K2rLTrGfjZo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9ExKwwUP60Oac4im
Polo,love the Stones,and love,love this song.So happy I grew up with the best music ever I have seen them in concert,awesome!,😊❤ Merry Christmas Polo.😊❤❤❤
It's amazing that England produced the Beatles and Rolling Stones at the same point in history. This is the song that propelled the Stones into the stratosphere.. for other classic Stones songs from the same era, check out "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "Ruby Tuesday"
The Stones are my favorite group of all time. Mick has a likeable twang about his voice. Keith Richard's is a very under appreciated guitarist. And also does some amazing harmonies. They have so many different sounds when you start going through their catalog. Mick is the quintessential front man. Charlie Watts was one of my favorite drummers. .
60 Minutes: " What's the greatest song ever written ?" Bob Dylan: "Satisfaction. It'll still be around 500 hundred years from now as everyone goes through teen angst."
Keith woke up with the riff in his head, woke up and wrote it down, went back to sleep. Woke up saw the notepad and had no memory of writing it, grabbed the guitar and the rest is history!
I remember the first time I heard this song on a St. Louis AM rock station, I was around six years old. I’m getting older, but I still love this song, and the Stones.
How utterly cool!!! If I had a time machine, that would be my 2nd destination (after watching The Doors play LA Woman live in, erm, LA, circa 1972)! Actually, that's a lie. It would be Hammersmith Odeon, London, 1974. Bruce Springsteen Thunder Road. That's no1
When I was a little kid a lot of my access to music was going through my parent's CD collection. I used to put this album on and dance like crazy in the living room all the time. This song was definitely one of my favorites.
The Stones were a counter statement to the Beatles back in the 60's. There was nothing like them before. Just like the Beatles. The Rolling Stones were phenomenal!
Keith dreamed the guitar riff, got up, and sang it into a cassette deck and went back to sleep. He meant it as a horn riff, but Gibson Maestro foot pedal had just been released so he used it for the iconic riff. This was the very first commercially available “fuzz tone”. Also, the song was banned in many cities for the line about the girl being on her “losing streak”, her period!.
The main riff in this song Keith R has said came to him when he slept, he woke up recorded it on tape and got back to sleep. At first he did not remember that he had recorded it but as we all no he put on the taperecorder and the rest is history. Keith thought that it should be played by horns but couldn't get the sound that he wanted. Ian stewart pianoplayer and considered the sixth Stone got them a new box with the fuzztone that was used. It was something new to the greater audience. It is an interesting story how they made this song and it's more details to it but takes to much space here. Stones have done so many great songs during the years so keep up the good work.
Polo, my favorite from Stones are You Can't Always Get What You Want, Angie, As Tears Go By. I grew up on 50s and 60s music. I fell in love with much music from before and since. Also grew up on Baptist church. Memorized and sang along before I could read or understand the words.
I was about 11 when I first heard this for the first time! Memorized all the words, just by listening to it on the radio, and chanting the words with friends over and over. Classic! Glad you are sharing this! And you know he was deeply influenced by Little Richard, Tina Turner et al!
The Stones put out one hit after another for 20 years....If you get in just about anywhere your mind is ripe to be totally blown. All the best....have a great trip.
my favorite Stones song. Re:Jaggers dancing on stage - he learned that when American black music groups came to the UK and performed. R&B, Soul, that kind of music. Think James Brown. They were all moving and dancing on stage and the young Brits loved it. Jagger noticed, and started to develop his own moves, instead of just standing and singing. Rest is history. 😊
@ Well, almost all bands then stood still. But since Mick Jagger was a singer and not playing an instrument, he was more free to move about. Other 60's bands with front singers also followed Jagger. In the 70's, Steven Tyler for example, def followed in Jaggers footsteps but others like Robert Plant did not.
As the 1960's came to an end, a Houston AM radio station, KILT, took a community survey of what songs were the most popular in the decade. They then spent the last two weeks of 1969, playing the top 100 songs. This song their audience named number one!
I got to hear this live (by accident) in Hyde Park when I was 9. Got an album with this track on it the following Fall from my parents' friends who were flirting with maybe going for the missionary life. Good stuff. Bryan Jone's presence in this early stuff is so good. I think you'd really dig "Get off My Cloud," and "Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown" from the same era.
Back in the day we did not have cassettes and depended on car radios. Fortunately in SoCal we had an alternative station which played this often and could sing along. Another great Summer hit was "Summer in the City" by The Lovin' Spoonful. Also from the time was the Stones' "Under-assistant West Coast Promo Man".
Polo, when you have a spare minute, listen to _All Along The Watchtower_ sung by Jimi Hendrix. Then his other masterpieces, Hey Joe, VooDoo Child, Little Wing and Foxy Lady.
Years ago I saw a video clip of Mick and the boys being interviewed by the press on one of their US tours not long after this song came out. One of the reporters asked whether or not they had "found satisfaction" since arriving in the US. Mick replied, "By 'satisfaction' do you mean sexual or intellectual?" The reporter basically said "however you want to characterize it"... And Mick replied in his iconic accent, _"Well, let's just say we've found one but not the other."_
This was my first year at senior school, moving from junior prep in London to senior school in Cape Town - away from overly intrusive house matrons. The Stones were the "bad boys" band. The Beatles were our mothers' prefered band. Guess which we hormone-driven boarding school boys liked better!😅
This is my nominee for greatest rock song. Now you must listen to it by DEVO. They made it relevant to the 70s and 80s. They would not release it until Jagger gave his approval. They knew they had it when Jagger started dancing to it. It was released under Stiff Records, a British prog recording studio. It does not sound like the same song, something I find to be a proper cover. You might also look for their "Are You Experienced". It took a while but they finally convinced Hedrix's rights holders to release it.
This song broke them out of the shadow of the Beatles and defined who they would be going forward. Imagine hearing this song playing in the still very repressed 1965 England or USA.
I watch your channel a lot but I don't know if you've done much from the Stones. They have a catalog of music that is huge and there are at least twenty RS songs that are must listen. If you liked this you're gonna be blown away by a bunch of their music. They delved into multiple genres but their jazz/rock fusion was unsurpassed. Can't You Hear Me Knocking has some of the best sax you'll ever hear.
I was 10 when this song was released in USA. The first Stones song I ever heard. The music got my attention, although I didn’t really grasp the meaning of the song until later in life.
one of the Stones' best tunes, great beat, guitar, bass, vocals, everything. Probably my favourite, followed by "Sympathy for the Devil" "Jumping Jack Flash" & "You Can't always get what you want".
Kieth Richards open G tuning , Mick's awesome vocals....THIS IS GREAT MUSIC ! "Honky tonk woman " should be on your play list :) Keep going ....love ya channel .
My mother was in nursing school at the University of Tennessee back in the 60’s when she got the chance to see The Rolling Stones, she loved this song!! What great times!!
That's a great description of a pretty direct song. Crank yes! Ok.... the lick is the song agree or not. Solos are interesting, but it is the lick that clicks! There are, a million people wanted to have moves like Jagger. As a whole the British invasion paved the way for the San Francisco, the laurel canyon and the motown sound . Well not so much motown, they were certainly boosted by the monetary success, but they were there first.
I was in the 7th grade in 1965 and we heard this a lot! We had a juke box in the cafeteria and listened loudly during lunch every day! Soundtrack to my life.
Wife here. I sure wish I was heating Stones for the first time. I’m jealous. Sooo many great songs . Try following ones. Honky Tonk Women , Angie, Shattered, waiting on a friend, Bitch , Sway , Dead Flowers, it’s o my Rock n roll, beast of burden , brown sugar and on and on have a blast.

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" is a good one. "Ruby Tuesday" is good too.
Sympathy for the Devil, baby!!
Yes!
The studio version, please
ABSOLUTLE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dont forget Paint it Black & Gimme Shelter
Nah,Mother's little helper
"Time is on my side" a good place to go back to the begininng of"The Stones! & "This may be the last time" is early in their career.
Play With Fire
Wild horses. On of my all time favorite stones songs.
My favorite too❤
MY FAVORITE ‼️♥️🎶
"Miss You", "Shattered", "Can't you hear me knocking?", "Sympathy for the devil", "Emotional rescue", "Slave", "she's so cold", "Mixed emotions". Are all exceptional Stones songs. Great reaction. 🤙
Brown Sugar - classic Stones
Sister Morphine!
Paint It Black
Oh yesss, check out Ciara's cover. Sublime...
Came here to say that. This is the first song by The Rolling Stones I remember. My dad had their first vinyl album I about wore it out!
It was also my dad’s favorite song I played it at his funeral so I would love to see Polo react to it.

I’ve always said the same thing. The 60s gave us Motown, the Beatles and the Stones. How lucky were we? 👏👏👏🥰🇨🇦
Yes , lol, babysitting money is how I bought my records as well !!!

I heartily agree, Shelter is fo sho their best IMO!
1969-74 ftw!! 🎉🎉🎉
You really has to be there at the time. We never heard anything like this before. I was hooked on rock ever since. Born in 1954.
Imagine, if you will, hearing this in 1965, I am not sure you have any idea just how powerful this was...The Beatles had just exploded with all their lovey dovey feel good yet Awesome music and then you get This!

" Get off my cloud" is another gem with a similar message. Check out the original studio version if you get the chance. My favorite stones tune.
"Gimme Shelter" The original version with Merry Clayton.
The Stones have so many great songs
I agree with you Polo - the early Stones is so brilliant - 'Paint it black is a favourite of mine. Best wishes.
43 years ago, this song opened my ears. It was my big bang moment for a life long love affair with the Stones and music of this era in general.
Early hits included Hey, You, Get Off Of My Cloud, Time Is On My Side, The Last Time, Play With Fire, Let's Spend the Night Together (shocking suggestion for the times, Ed Sullivan wanted it changed to "Let's Spend...Some Time Together" for his family show, but Mick somehow kept 'accidentally' forgetting and singing the real words; and Mother's Little Helper.

For a 'rare' slower feel good song, I just adore "Waitin' on a Friend ".
Miss You and Shattered are great Stones songs ❤
Jumpin jack flash its a gas gas gas 🤘
Polo,love the Stones,and love,love this song.So happy I grew up with the best music ever I have seen them in concert,awesome!,😊❤ Merry Christmas Polo.😊❤❤❤
"Paint It Black" and "Wild Horses" are my two favorite Stones tunes. Definitely give them a listen.

Keith Richard's is a very under appreciated guitarist. And also does some amazing harmonies.
They have so many different sounds when you start going through their catalog.
Mick is the quintessential front man.
Charlie Watts was one of my favorite drummers.
.
That drum beat is relentless.
Even better is the Stones' "You can't always get what you want".
60 Minutes: " What's the greatest song ever written ?"
Bob Dylan: "Satisfaction. It'll still be around 500 hundred years from now as everyone goes through teen angst."
Let's Spend the Night Together - awesome piano riff
Keith woke up with the riff in his head, woke up and wrote it down, went back to sleep. Woke up saw the notepad and had no memory of writing it, grabbed the guitar and the rest is history!
I remember the first time I heard this song on a St. Louis AM rock station, I was around six years old. I’m getting older, but I still love this song, and the Stones.
I’m 75. When I heard this it is still the greatest song ever.
When to see them in Greensboro NC in 1964. My ticket was $5.00.
Gotta say that's kinda weird. An eleven or twelve year old going to a Stones concert in 74 and knowing how much the ticket cost stretches credulity.
How utterly cool!!! If I had a time machine, that would be my 2nd destination (after watching The Doors play LA Woman live in, erm, LA, circa 1972)! Actually, that's a lie. It would be Hammersmith Odeon, London, 1974. Bruce Springsteen Thunder Road. That's no1
When I was a little kid a lot of my access to music was going through my parent's CD collection. I used to put this album on and dance like crazy in the living room all the time. This song was definitely one of my favorites.
Can’t You Hear Me Knocking; has an incredible spontaneous jam at he end.
We use to go nuts at his concerts,when he sang this,Brown Sugar,Wild Horses and Sticky Fingers
Sticky Fingers was the title of an album, not a song title.
@ yea,sorry I wrote it wrong.
The Stones were a counter statement to the Beatles back in the 60's. There was nothing like them before. Just like the Beatles. The Rolling Stones were phenomenal!
3:44 YES! I’ve always felt that church clapping vibe in the tambourine triplets.
Gimme Shelter
Missing You
There are so many GREAT Stones songs.
Jumping Jack Flash also has a great riff.
Keith dreamed the guitar riff, got up, and sang it into a cassette deck and went back to sleep. He meant it as a horn riff, but Gibson Maestro foot pedal had just been released so he used it for the iconic riff. This was the very first commercially available “fuzz tone”. Also, the song was banned in many cities for the line about the girl being on her “losing streak”, her period!.
What? I thought it was, he was on a losing streak!
Try the Kinks next. They put out a new kind of sound back then with the songs “You really got Me” and “All day and all of the Night”
In the same social commentary vein, "Mother's Little Helper"
The main riff in this song Keith R has said came to him when he slept, he woke up recorded it on tape and got back to sleep. At first he did not remember that he had recorded it but as we all no he put on the taperecorder and the rest is history.

Stones have done so many great songs during the years so keep up the good work.
Polo, my favorite from Stones are You Can't Always Get What You Want, Angie, As Tears Go By.
I grew up on 50s and 60s music. I fell in love with much music from before and since.
Also grew up on Baptist church. Memorized and sang along before I could read or understand the words.
Another banger from that era with an un forgettable riff is Jumpin’ Jack Flash, a solid jam
For some pounding rhythm and guitar licks, my faves are Sympathy For The Devil and Can't You Hear Me Knocking!
The 'Stones did more to promote the underappreciated original American Bluesmen than any other band.
Wife and I saw the Stones in concert (again) and at some point turned and said to the other “who’s better than Mick Jagger”. The answer is no one.
One of their emblematic songs, along with Ruby Tuesday and Paint it Black.
I was about 11 when I first heard this for the first time! Memorized all the words, just by listening to it on the radio, and chanting the words with friends over and over. Classic! Glad you are sharing this! And you know he was deeply influenced by Little Richard, Tina Turner et al!
The Stones put out one hit after another for 20 years....If you get in just about anywhere your mind is ripe to be totally blown. All the best....have a great trip.
my favorite Stones song. Re:Jaggers dancing on stage - he learned that when American black music groups came to the UK and performed. R&B, Soul, that kind of music. Think James Brown. They were all moving and dancing on stage and the young Brits loved it. Jagger noticed, and started to develop his own moves, instead of just standing and singing. Rest is history. 😊
I agree, The Beatles were like statues, but guess it's hard to jump around with their music...Mick just felt the music and did his thang!
@ Well, almost all bands then stood still. But since Mick Jagger was a singer and not playing an instrument, he was more free to move about. Other 60's bands with front singers also followed Jagger. In the 70's, Steven Tyler for example, def followed in Jaggers footsteps but others like Robert Plant did not.
Tina Turner allegedly gave him tips 🇬🇧
As the 1960's came to an end, a Houston AM radio station, KILT, took a community survey of what songs were the most popular in the decade. They then spent the last two weeks of 1969, playing the top 100 songs. This song their audience named number one!
such a great song to get started in the morning with.....or what a great song to listen to while driving
Old Stones, Like "Mother's Little Helper", "19th Nervous Breakdown", and "Get Off of My Cloud", is the best Stones.
The Last Time (1965) has another great guitar opening.
Gotta do Gimme Shelter next. I think it's right up your alley!
I got to hear this live (by accident) in Hyde Park when I was 9. Got an album with this track on it the following Fall from my parents' friends who were flirting with maybe going for the missionary life. Good stuff. Bryan Jone's presence in this early stuff is so good.

Otis Reading once said about this song "why can't we write songs like this" he then recorded it himself.
Playing with fire. Best Stones track. Hidden Gem.❤👍💯🤠🙏
great pick. Another big 60's hit from them that nobody's playing is "Get Off My Cloud"
This was my first year at senior school, moving from junior prep in London to senior school in Cape Town - away from overly intrusive house matrons. The Stones were the "bad boys" band. The Beatles were our mothers' prefered band. Guess which we hormone-driven boarding school boys liked better!😅
Dear Polo, I love you ❤ Always on point, and always vibe'n
I love how a lot of the black community is hearing some of these classics for the first time
This is my nominee for greatest rock song. Now you must listen to it by DEVO. They made it relevant to the 70s and 80s. They would not release it until Jagger gave his approval.

Get Off Of My Cloud,Brown Sugar,Gimme Shelter,Honky Tonk Women,Star Star,Rocks Off.There's a pile of them.
Defo a Rolling Stones fan! My faves include Wild Horses, Ruby Tuesday and Brown eyed Girl
Jumpin' jack flash!!!!
Emotional rescue my stones favorite ❤
But once you understand jaguar you'll understand the brilliance of far away eyes...he's literally mocking southern whites js😂
The riff is one of two greatest riffs of all time. The other is "Daytripper" by a little known forgotten band... the Beatles.
This was a huge hit when I was in high school. All the school bands played it.
This song broke them out of the shadow of the Beatles and defined who they would be going forward. Imagine hearing this song playing in the still very repressed 1965 England or USA.
Rolling Stones has a bass line that is profound and groovy.
You've heard the term ' Moves like Jagger ' ? Just watch ....😊
I watch your channel a lot but I don't know if you've done much from the Stones. They have a catalog of music that is huge and there are at least twenty RS songs that are must listen. If you liked this you're gonna be blown away by a bunch of their music. They delved into multiple genres but their jazz/rock fusion was unsurpassed. Can't You Hear Me Knocking has some of the best sax you'll ever hear.
I was 10 when this song was released in USA. The first Stones song I ever heard. The music got my attention, although I didn’t really grasp the meaning of the song until later in life.
one of the Stones' best tunes, great beat, guitar, bass, vocals, everything. Probably my favourite, followed by "Sympathy for the Devil" "Jumping Jack Flash" & "You Can't always get what you want".
Can't you hear me knocking is top three for the Stones and some amazing saxophone work. You'll enjoy.
Kieth Richards open G tuning , Mick's awesome vocals....THIS IS GREAT MUSIC ! "Honky tonk woman " should be on your play list :) Keep going ....love ya channel .
An ok song from a good band that only a few years later became one of the best bands ever
My mother was in nursing school at the University of Tennessee back in the 60’s when she got the chance to see The Rolling Stones, she loved this song!! What great times!!
Something that sounds like this is Eric Burdon and The Animals’ “When I Was Young”.
The Honky Tonk Woman on the live album Get Your Ya Yas Out is superb.
"Street Fighting Man" is the best song on "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out."
Dancing With Mr. D.........Sway.....No Expectations can spend a week with the Stones.
That's a great description of a pretty direct song. Crank yes! Ok.... the lick is the song agree or not. Solos are interesting, but it is the lick that clicks! There are, a million people wanted to have moves like Jagger. As a whole the British invasion paved the way for the San Francisco, the laurel canyon and the motown sound . Well not so much motown, they were certainly boosted by the monetary success, but they were there first.
I was in the 7th grade in 1965 and we heard this a lot! We had a juke box in the cafeteria and listened loudly during lunch every day! Soundtrack to my life.
Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Zeppelin. 60s Rushmore of Rock.
Doors before the Beach Boys 😊
The Who before both of them.@@mikelynch-zeroviewz2507
🌸 and Keith just turned 81 last week and he looks great
Wife here. I sure wish I was heating Stones for the first time. I’m jealous. Sooo many great songs . Try following ones.
Honky Tonk Women , Angie, Shattered, waiting on a friend, Bitch , Sway , Dead Flowers, it’s o my Rock n roll, beast of burden , brown sugar and on and on have a blast.
Wild horses is one of their best!
Gimmie Shelter, the opening guitar will give you chills.
The song of the year, 1965. Cheers Polo ✌
Loved your reaction. This song was a number one smash hit record. It went straight to the top. Irresistible.
My first intro to the Stones was Little Red Rooster - loved them ever since (I’m an old man now)
My all time fave stones song!!!
Gimme Shelter & Jumpin' Jack Flash are absolute MUSTS.
