Even fewer people know that it is a song written by Allen Toussaint under the pseudonym Naomi Neville and first recorded by Benny Spellman. Proven once again: nothing worse than a fan.
@@TigerRogers0660 I have to ask, I heard your Jumpin' Jack Flash stereo conversion here: ruclips.net/video/Y6Rhj6giSCo/видео.html. I don't see it on your channel. Am I missing it, or do you have a website where you post these? Thanks!
Charlie, That mix was put on a friends channel - i do that from time to time on Mario's channel. I have updated that mix ( just a few minor tweaks) & will be posting it here fairly soon. The Stones "The Spider & The Fly" will be posted here within the next couple of days. Tiger.
Great sound and excellent post. Written by Allen Toussaint down in New Orleans for Benny Spellman. Spellman, he of the deep voice who did the "Mother-In-Law" call and response with Ernie K-Doe in 1961. Benny hit the charts in 1962 with the original and good-sized regional hits of "Fortune Teller" and "Lipstick Traces (on a cigarette)". Appreciate the post.
@chaplainjoseph4444.......Originally released in 1962 in the UK by London records [HLP 9570] 'Lipstick Traces' was the official A-side with 'Fortune Teller' the B-side. Both songs were written by the incredibly talented Allen Toussaint under his commonly used pseudonym 'Naomi Neville' [Toussaint's mothers' maiden name]. Both sides were successful - Fortune Teller became very popular later during the 'Mod' era [1963-68] and Northern Soul scene in the early 1970's. By the way it's BENNY .....not BENNIE
@@TigerRogers0660 Tiger, your comments I always read. Pleasure to hear the result of your fine work. There is an underlying punch of bass in your posts that separates them from the often- found "tinny" sound found in many old 45s that show up here.
Tiger, I love your version of "Fortune Teller!" That haunting background vocal (starting at apx 30 seconds) in your mix really is the icing on the cake to add another dimension to the song. I love how the song starts with total separation from one channel to the other. I always thought that mono was more powerful than stereo but you prove that theory wrong with your "Fortune Teller!" Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I enjoy your work very much - Gerard
@@TigerRogers0660 Thank you! The sound separation is excellent in this! I still have my original from its initial release in the U.S., around 1965. I love these photos, they look like babies! Okay, slightly dissolute, decadent babies.
In Melbourne, Bobby Curtola's version made the Top 40 No.35 1962. The Throb and the.Stones had the hit in 1966 No.14. Seem to recall The Throb having had most of the radio airplay. Would be interesting to hear a remixed stereo version of The Throb's along side the Stones'.
Benny Spellman recorded this first in 1962 as the b-side to "Lipstick Traces (on a Ciarette)." Written under Allen Toussaint's Naomi Neville moniker. The Hollies had covered the song, but the Stones' version is new for me.
Benny had a chance for the carousel's golden ring but just missed it in '62. From 1966, please give an ear to: ruclips.net/video/6ETixWaFsQQ/видео.htmlsi=yx30iJLcOPDvt9_J

So..... who did this song first? The Throb (Australian) or the Stones (England)? I like this version but I tend to like the intensity from The Throb's version a bit more. Obviously the RS's were a more popular band. Thumbs up to both. (looks like I'm the only thumbs up placed in here?)
Went to the fortune teller To have my fortune read I didn't know what to tell her I had a dizzy feeling in my head Siad she'd take a look at my palm She said "Son, you feel kinda warm" And she looked into her crystal ball Said "You're in love" Said it could not be so Not with all the girls I know She said when the next one arrives Looking into her eyes I left there in a hurry Looking forward to my big surprise The next day I discovered That the fortune teller told me a lie I hurried back down to that woman As mad as I could be I told her I didn't see nobody Why'd she make a fool out of me Then something struck me As if it came from up above While looking at the fortune teller I fell in love Now I'm a happy fellow Well I'm married to the fortune teller We're happy as we can be Now I get my fortune told for free
Why was Mick Jagger in another universe from his contemporaries? Case in point: the absolutely obscene insinuation in his tone of voice when he assures us "Now i get my fortune told for free ..." Genius!! 01:45
Fantastic work ! - would love to hear the basic procedure of how you accomplished this mix and pannings as I'd like to alter some songs in a live recording I made where my best friend (now deceased) sang and I played bass.
I agree that Tiger's work is amazing. To hear these Rolling Stones songs in stereo is so cool! Google DES to find out more about the process of DES mono to stereo. I know that it can take many hours to produce one song from mono to DES!
Probably just as well that it wasn't released as a single, it's nothing out of the ordinary and sounds like something that The Searchers or Hermans Hermits would have come up with.
In my view, putting the fabulous band named The Searchers in the same sentence with Herman's Hermits is no different than putting The Rolling Stones with the Monkees.
Good choice, Tiger. I first got introduced to Allen Toussaint's work when I bought a copy (back in the day) of Brian Hyland's album, "In a State of Bayou". One day, I'll get around to posting some of the tracks. They are all songs by Mr. Toussaint.
I loved this song when I was in Grade school....the early stones is their best....and still is in 2023
The best rock and roll band there is plain and simple..... I'm a fan....
Thanks Bob!! Cheers Tiger.
Best? Nah
@@colinlatham7905... Best is an opinion. My opinion is their the best. Your opinion is different I take it. That's allowed.
Especially back then! A baby faced Keef! ❤
@@BobbyGass5 haha
Another Stones gem, a song not many people know of.
The Throb had a better version out of this song.
Even fewer people know that it is a song written by Allen Toussaint under the pseudonym Naomi Neville and first recorded by Benny Spellman. Proven once again: nothing worse than a fan.
Thanks I did not know the first part but I knew about Spellman. Have you watched The Throbs version?@@lazlokovacs2263
#1 on KRLA Los Angeles in September 1966. Awesome tune.
This song really takes me WAY back Tiger & still sounds amazing to me!
Thanks Karen!! Cheers Tiger.
mje too............im 75 and rock never gets old........
Tiger, great job as usual, the early Stones songs sound great in stereo, thanks for posting this gem!!
Thanks Bernie!! Cheers Tiger.
Somehow I've never heard the Stones version of this before, it's excellent! Such a great stereo mix sir, thank you!
Thanks Charlie!! Cheers Tiger.

This version by the Stone was very popular in L.A. back in the day
But not played at all in the NYC Top 40 radio market!
Loving it
Thanks Andrew!! Tiger.
super travail !!!

I knew this as a soul song,never even knew the Stones did it🤘
So..... who did this song first? The Throb (Australian) or the Stones (England)? I like this version but I tend to like the intensity from The Throb's version a bit more. Obviously the RS's were a more popular band. Thumbs up to both. (looks like I'm the only thumbs up placed in here?)
I'm Australian, & i do like The Throb's version better. However their version came out 2 years (1966) after The Stones version. Tiger.
Went to the fortune teller To have my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Siad she'd take a look at my palm
She said "Son, you feel kinda warm"
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said "You're in love"
Said it could not be so
Not with all the girls I know
She said when the next one arrives
Looking into her eyes
I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie
I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I told her I didn't see nobody
Why'd she make a fool out of me
Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love
Now I'm a happy fellow
Well I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we can be
Now I get my fortune told for free
Why was Mick Jagger in another universe from his contemporaries? Case in point: the absolutely obscene insinuation in his tone of voice when he assures us "Now i get my fortune told for free ..." Genius!!

Cuando la música 🎶 popular era agradable para los oídos 👂,pero que es ahora una sinverguenza (aquí SIN der umlaut) y casi a nadie le gusta!😢
Guessing Bill and Brian on background vocals
Yep. You are so right.
Huuuuuuu💰🤒🎷🎺🎻🎹🎸🍷🔥🌊🕺💃🍿🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
The Ollyng Stones 🎻🎻🎻🎺🌊🦅🎺🎷🎸🎺🎷🎸🎹🎷🎺
The throbs version kills this..aussie great.
1963...
Written by Allen Toussaint.
Terrible cover of a classic.
Not a bad version - but Benny Spellman's original 1962 release pisses all over it.
