@@OGRE_HATES_NERDS Animals - Inside Looking Out. "Yes, I've heard it before. It's exciting, I suppose. I don't like the sound on the guitar. It's too toppy and sounds like a BBC programme. I thought Eric Burdon was quite good but I don't like the harmonies when the group sing togehter behind him. All that "yeah, yeah, yeah". It's a bit long but it will be as big a hit as their others. How did their last one go? They always get in the Top 10, don't they? There's not enough to be a number 1 but you never know in these days of The Overlanders.
Enjoying these videos. I was surprised. I would have expected Jagger to have loved the Supremes' songs and been more enthusiastic about the James Brown song.
I agree with Jagger. I LOVE JB and the Supremes (I am an R&B/Soul fanatic), but those were not their best records. I still don't really like them. They are just OK. :)
From what I've heard of these so far,the guests,even though part of supergroups, didn't always have a good ear for others' work. The Kinks lead singer hating on a song written by legendary songwriter Carole King.I don't think he understood that it was a tongue in cheek cynical look at suburbia ( Pleasant Valley Sunday- The Monkees) Roger Miller was a beloved humorist in song in America. He wrote a lot of hits mainly on the country charts like Chug a lug ( song about drinking at a young age) The Supremes were golden with every song. They had twelve #1 hits in the States.
I absolutely love these "Reviews of the Singles of" for the Star reviewers' Brutal honesty but also for discovering some fairly obscure gems which I had never heard before. I really hope in a future video that a Beatle or Stone reviews The Yardbirds' Heart Full of Soul (Fingers crossed!)
These videos are fascinating glimpses into the times and egos of their day- and I thank you for them! I once got stuck in an elevator alone with Mick in NYC. I’ve never received such a hostile glare in my life. I never said a word to him either. Ugh.
Far the time it was indeed a remarkable release ....for me time hasn't been that kind to it though.... Jagger was right about the "toppy guitars", and "screaming" ; loved it in '66 ,can't stand hearing it now . Loudmouths Grand Funk Railroad would build a career on this. Rather hear the subtle "Don't Bring Me Down".
"I must try and be constructive" was a good start for Mr J... sadly drowning this ambition in his usual sea of pretentiousness right after... 😄 What gems! At least he didn't knock Gary Walker, too. 😎
It's funny to hear Mick say he doesn't like the song from '' THE SUPREMES'', ''My World Is Empty Without You'', considering the resemblance to ''Paint It Black '' (one of my all-time favourite songs, by the way)
@@Lillbimbo You're right. The song from '' The Supremes '' was published in December 1965, while '' Paint it Black '' by the ''Stones'' appeared the following year, in May 1966
The most amazing things these reviews show is just how knowledgeable (& some, downright obsessed) 1960's rock stars were w/the business of record marketing! They'll cite poor release schedules more than the vocals or guitar on a track--LOL! (Sidenote: I really love ur channel & its "vibe")
The Jagger-Richards song “So Much in Love with You” is really a great pop song. Ian and the Zodiacs did an excellent version of it, and it should have been a hit.
Ian & The Zodiacs version was a minor hit in the Providence, Rhode Island radio market, and it received a fair amount of AM radio play. Their debut LP featuring that song was not difficult to find in the record stores.
Just goes to show that sometimes you can be too close to something to truly appreciate it. Most of these videos have great songs getting RIPPED. That supremes song is awesome and i love the speed of it. I've always thought that is what made it really special.
I must say I fell about laughing at Sir Mick calling Sonny and Cher 'Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson' - two extremely MoR performers whom time has now forgotten. These videos are brilliant - hope you get many more subscribers!
@Delbert Stringbreaker _"Sonny and Cher... two extremely MoR performers"_ Sure, there's no denying that they were overtly 'Pop' and mainstream but "forgotten" is too extreme. First of all, as Jagger here acknowledges, the duo's hip fashion preceded the "Love and Peace" hippy look by a couple of years and secondly, more embarrassingly to the straight-jacketed 'Rockist' mind-set, Bob Dylan's 'I Want You' single (from his 'Blonde on Blonde' album) is a straight rip off of any number of Sonny Bono compositions on 'The Wonderful World of Sonny and Cher' LP!!
@@TheEWFX29 Not so. Nowhere on 'Bob Dylan' (1962), 'Freewheelin' (1963), The Times They Are A-Changin' & 'Another Side of Bob Dylan' (1964) or 'Bringing It All Back Home' & 'Highway 61 Revisited' is there any trace of the kind of chordal pattern Dylan uses on 'I Want You'. Those pre-'Blonde on Blonde' albums all feature very basic country/blues chord patterns. Sonny Bono's (one note) melodic writing was certainly influenced by Dylan but he wasn't influenced by Dylan's chords at all. Bono's were much more inspired by French chanson & yeh-yeh music made by the likes of Francoise Hardy & France Gall. 'I Got You Babe' is Bistro Rock perfection after all! Along with Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie, I think that Sonny Bono needs to be added as a key Dylan influence :)
When was the Herb Alpert record released in the UK? It was released in the states during the spring/summer of 1964. And then later featured in an ad campaign for chewing gum
The Supremes started a multi-year streak of no. 1 singles in the U.S. at roughly the same time as The Beatles. They ran almost neck and neck in the mid-60s but of course The Beatles had more of a world wide following. The Supreme's records varied in quality but they were all ear candy with the immortal Motown production.
Herb Alpert had a few decent hit singles but this one sounds pretty vapid compared to some others. But he was thought of in the U.S. as offering up an exotic sound that was probably the first exposure to anything resembling latin beat and flavor to non-latinos. In those days latinos were concentrated in only a few locations in the U.S. - Puerto Ricans in NYC, Cubans in south Florida, and Mexicans in Los Angeles and Texas ranch country. Listening to it now it really does seem appropriate that this song was featured in a chewing gum ad as advised by @shphyre in another comment. Macarena feels edgy in comparison.
Btw- didja know STEPPENWOLF has a lyric " Yesterday's Papers can help you today......" in the song " Move Over"? from " Monster" LP. Great work mate!!!!❤ ps here in the US- Chris Farlowe and Nicky Scott whom Jagger produced were unknown over here in the '60s :(
Ha! Hearing Mick's reviews, you can see why he was pals with George and Ringo! Blunt is as blunt does! As John Cleese said in Time Bandits..jolly good! Lol.
Not a bad list of platters for MJ to review. He's definitely into new sounds and knows a lot of artists' back catalog like JB, Bo Diddley, Supremes, Sonny And Cher. The real surprise was his thumbs up on Gerry And The Pacemakers - that song is pure '63 Merseybeat and sounds totally dated by '66 but Mick liked it. Hmmmm. Having him review a cover of his own 'So Much In Love' was weird. Of course he's gonna love it and hope it does well, so he can get a big fat royalty check :)
quite decent and mature opinions for such a young guy. No real malice ,just a couple of jokes here and there to spice up what would otherwise seem like a music professors review of his students work
'What Now My Love' is one of the most gloriously melancholy songs anywhere. 'Woman' is powerful and dramatic, another classic. 'My World is Empty' is one of the Supremes' best, and just the right tempo too. I'd diss Jagger but he undeniably helped create several of the greatest songs of the 1960s too
Never having heard of the Overlanders I looked then up " Although they released twelve singles on the Pye record label between 1963 and 1966, the Overlanders' only British hit was a cover version of the Beatles' "Michelle" It reached number 1 on the Record Retailer chart (subsequently the UK Singles Chart) in January 1966 and beat off a rival recording by David and Jonathan, whose version was produced by George Martin and featured arrangements by Tony Hatch."
Jagger was sooooo wrong about Sonny & Cher’s What Now My Love, a BRILLIANT record. I think he was still ticked off about Sonny and Cher’s I Got You Babe knocking the Stones off the No. 1 spot.
A joke for my fellow Yanks, referencing an old breakfast cereal commercial from the 70s: "Let's get Mickey! Yeah! He hates everything!" And then, when Jagger's own song comes up at the end: "He likes it! Hey Mickey!"
The Super Session album Bloomfield, Stills,and Kooper contains a nice rendition of the You Don t Love Me song ..but my favorite version is the Tommy Raye's one!
@@vladimirmihajlovic2485I quite like the song, so I have not heard a bad version. But I prefer it by Kaleidoscope (the American band) on Beacon From Mars .
What I like about Jagger's opinions here is that unlike others he is right to the point. He does not try to sound pretentious or super cool and is not phony. Donovan, Eric Burdon, and Ray Davies all came across as so off-putting. Mick does show his sense of humor and wit too.
Mick apparently liked "My World is Empty" enough to "borrow" much of the melody and turn it into "Paint It Black". I love the Stones but this was no isolated incident' "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor was worked around into "Miss You" and the main riff from "Start Me Up" comes from a record called "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson. Still, nobody carries on like the Stones and they will be celebrating (I assume) their 60th Anniversary this year albeit without the great Charlie Watts.
Funny that he describes the catchy hook in his own song as a "corny bit" He could use a few now! I'd like a 4 hour version of this interview where he reviews songs of others, preferably with Keith to see where they disagree.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to teleport all the artists featured in these Single Review segments to the year 2021 and have them comment on today’s crap?!!? For example, play any song by Travis Scott or Machine Gun Kelly and you’d get: Mick Jagger: “is this a joke mate?” Ray Davies: “this makes Yellow Submarine sound like a masterpiece” Pete Townshend: “I hope I die before I get old, or certainly by 2021” Syd Barrett: “the acid in ‘21 must be mind blowing indeed” John Lennon: “maybe Yoko is before her time, she’s atleast better than this!” Paul McCartney: “I bet I’m still outselling em in my 70s if this is what I’m up against” Eric Clapton: “when does the guitar bit come in mate?” Brian Jones: “I regret having 17 children if this is their future!” Jimmy Page: “we must all pray to Aleister Crowley to save our bloody souls from this darkness!”
I agree with the latter half of your comment, but I think time will prove my feelings that today’s music scene lacks a lot. 100 years from today you will STILL hear echos from the 60s-70s pop music. It was simply a peak in creativity that came from a fusion of forces from technology, population, art, cultures, the impacts of WW2, England’s financing of art training, America’s black and folk foundation, aggressive advertising, distribution, automobiles with FM, etc etc etc. in comparison, today’s music won’t have the same lasting power. There’s not one pop act that will be profitable 100 years from now but the Beatles, Elvis, Beach Boys, Stones, Floyd, Dylan, Skynard, will STILL be featured in advertising and making money til our great grandchildren are paying taxes!!!
@@jacobseager4897 yeah exactly man. Boomers like to pretend the 60s/70s are the absolute apex of music (and I do agree that those decades are the best decades for music) but there was a ton of crap back in the 60s and 70s that was hugely popular just like there is now. Pepplw just remember the good stuff as time goes by as the cream of the crop rises up and those bad songs get forgotten
@@scottandrewbrass1931 You would have thought McCartney would have given his girlfriend’s brother a better song to record Scott. ‘ World Without Love’ could have been a Beatles’ hit single. ‘ Woman’ didn’t even sound good enough for an album track!
It's only 1966 and some of these artists like Gerry and the Pacemakers and Peter & Gordon seem like dinosaurs. Embarassing, really. Astonishing to think how quick things were moving.
I don't know if you are the same person but there is a guy on tiktok basically stealing all your videos and uploading them he calls him self televisiondevil. Just thought I'd let you know because I really like your stuff
Hey creators of YP, I’m not sure if you offer an email address for fans to reach out, but since I see you are refreshingly active in your own comments sections I’m hoping you see this and might even respond…. I’m curious, will you continue your focus mostly on the British scene, or might you plan to sprinkle in some American stuff as well to widen the perspective?? Don’t get me wrong, the English dominated this period for good reason, and I can’t get enough of what you’re doing. But I notice most of it stays on the London scene from 65-68. Are you aiming for a sequential timeline perhaps?? Like by 2023 maybe your output will advance to the early 70s?? Again, just curious as to what your game plan is in case you’re willing to share. Oh, and I do have a request. If there’s anything you can give us having to do with Syd Barrett and his departure from Floyd I would be one happy supporter for what it’s worth. The Floyd are a fascinating band with a fascinating story, and it all started with the Peter Pan like Syd. Too many people focus on the darkness of his story, but for a moment in time he was the King of the underground and deserving of the throne. I’m curious to learn more about how the papers and media covered him from 67 onward and how fans reacted to Gilmour in the early days of 68-69. Thanks and keep up the great work!! I will continue to tell everyone about your cool channel!
Hi, thank you. Most of the focus is on the British music scene from 1965 to 1970. But I've also made videos about american bands and videos about bands or artists from the early 70s. I've also made about 4 or 5 videos about Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. Cheers!
Alan Price formed the Alan Price Set after he left The Animals in late 1965. I think he was already out of the band when they recorded "Inside Looking Out". Not 100% sure, though.
Alan Price Set came after Price left the Animals, the precursor to The Animals were the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo. This was prior to Eric Burdon joining.
2:23 I have sort of a love/hate attitude toward HA&theTB, but I love this one. Anyway, I completely disagree with Mick about the words; if music is going to be imposed on the listener in workplaces, grocery stores, dentist's-offices, etc. it should be the keraoke versions of everything. I hate walking around in Wall Mart and either having to listen to some slob singing about how much he loves me, or realizing that everyone is milling about, not noticing the fact that the words coming over the tinny loudspeakers are about rape or heroin withdrawal. Background music should stay in the background.
Excuse my curiosity but this is all just a bit before my time. Question: When Gerry named his band "the pacemakers" - what did the word 'pacemaker' mean back then? I mean, in that context he wasn't talking about what it means today, even if it was cutting edge medical technology by 1966, nobody really had a common term for such a device so, are they saying - 'trendsetters'? is that what they are calling themselves?
The jazz magazine Downbeat's legendary "Blindfold Tests" might have been the original idea for both shows. As far as I know, Downbeat is still doing Blindfold Tests to this day. They started in the 40's.
Undeliverable corney bit soon yes we wrote it might be a hit. Woman by Peter and Gordon, take it off I've heard enough. That went to number one your little ditty well don't know were that went, don't think anyone saw it again 😅😂
@@heliotropezzz333 He didn't really say anything negative about it. He said it was a kind of "I'm a Man" part 2 and he was right. The song was just a re-write of that song. He also said it wouldn't be a hit and he was right too. Sadly, Bo Diddley's singles weren't chart hits in 1966 and he was right in guessing that a re-writing of "I'm A Man" wouldn't make it in the charts.
Jagger is a a bit hard to please, isn't he? Especially for a guy who's going to end up a geriatric in The World's Biggest Cover Band, playing songs that his formerly dangerous group wrote 50 years beforehand, having to decide what to do when bandmembers die, not from drug overdoses, but from old age...
Everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, has songs they like and songs they dislike. If I dislike a song it's not because I'm jealous of the artist making it. "Duh, I'm not jealous of Led Zeppelin so I like their songs, but I am jealous of Kenny G so I don't like his songs. Duh". Why should it be different for the people that make music?
i had to erase the part where Mick reviews the Animals because the video got blocked due to a copyright notice. Sorry.
Sad, I enjoyed the review.

The humour of ads...ha! ha! Don't want to offend anyone, just sell crap.
Frankly I thinks advertising sucks and it's never funny.
I love that Gary Walker single and it should have been a far bigger hit. Interesting that Jagger's ears perked up for it.
Yeah, it sounds pretty cool.
The Super Session album
Bloomfield, Stills,and Kooper contains a nice rendition of the You Don t Love Me song ..but my favorite version is the Tommy Raye's one!
@@elliottferris5929 My favourite renditions are by Junior Walker and Buddy Guy and The Allman Brothers Band later on
....
@@vladimirmihajlovic2485I quite like the song, so I have not heard a bad version. But I prefer it by Kaleidoscope (the American band) on Beacon From Mars .
Interesting and intelligent reviews. Don't really have anything to add.
I think Mick would have liked the B side to “Woman” by Peter & Gordon; the discotheque dance number “Wrong From The Start”, written by P&G.
Refreshing to hear honest opinions.
The confidence of youth eh?
Honest & Very Funny!
These reviews are brutal. Damn.
What I like about Jagger's opinions here is that unlike others he is right to the point. He does not try to sound pretentious or super cool and is not phony. Donovan, Eric Burdon, and Ray Davies all came across as so off-putting. Mick does show his sense of humor and wit too.
Somewhat surprised Mick didn't and could not appreciate the sounds of Alpert & the Tijuana Brass (ii'm sure it just wasn't his "bag" then) 😎
The Gary walker single is a banger.
Mick apparently liked "My World is Empty" enough to "borrow" much of the melody and turn it into "Paint It Black". I love the Stones but this was no isolated incident' "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor was worked around into "Miss You" and the main riff from "Start Me Up" comes from a record called "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson. Still, nobody carries on like the Stones and they will be celebrating (I assume) their 60th Anniversary this year albeit without the great Charlie Watts.
Haha,he was right on everything. Proves his high standards and why he’s remained a superstar ever since
👍👍👍
Funny that he describes the catchy hook in his own song as a "corny bit" He could use a few now! I'd like a 4 hour version of this interview where he reviews songs of others, preferably with Keith to see where they disagree.
Omg. I can see the slugfest now! Lol.
"I want to get hooked everybody on drugs. That's what I do." - The Stones Mick Jagger
In fact they did give him a pile of rubbish to review, poor Mick couldn't find nuthin. Lol
What ? Jagger wrote a song for Charles Dickens ?! Ahh, because Mr. Jaggers was Miss Havisham's lawyer in "Great Expectations".
A-Ha! Forgot about Mr. Jaggers.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to teleport all the artists featured in these Single Review segments to the year 2021 and have them comment on today’s crap?!!?
For example, play any song by Travis Scott or Machine Gun Kelly and you’d get:
Mick Jagger: “is this a joke mate?”
Ray Davies: “this makes Yellow Submarine sound like a masterpiece”
Pete Townshend: “I hope I die before I get old, or certainly by 2021”
Syd Barrett: “the acid in ‘21 must be mind blowing indeed”
John Lennon: “maybe Yoko is before her time, she’s atleast better than this!”
Paul McCartney: “I bet I’m still outselling em in my 70s if this is what I’m up against”
Eric Clapton: “when does the guitar bit come in mate?”
Brian Jones: “I regret having 17 children if this is their future!”
Jimmy Page: “we must all pray to Aleister Crowley to save our bloody souls from this darkness!”
George Harrison: "It's crap, take it off!"
There’s a lot of good music today, and there was a lot of crap then
lol... Yeah, lowest common denominator all around the airwaves.
I agree with the latter half of your comment, but I think time will prove my feelings that today’s music scene lacks a lot.
100 years from today you will STILL hear echos from the 60s-70s pop music. It was simply a peak in creativity that came from a fusion of forces from technology, population, art, cultures, the impacts of WW2, England’s financing of art training, America’s black and folk foundation, aggressive advertising, distribution, automobiles with FM, etc etc etc.
in comparison, today’s music won’t have the same lasting power. There’s not one pop act that will be profitable 100 years from now but the Beatles, Elvis, Beach Boys, Stones, Floyd, Dylan, Skynard, will STILL be featured in advertising and making money til our great grandchildren are paying taxes!!!
@@jacobseager4897 yeah exactly man. Boomers like to pretend the 60s/70s are the absolute apex of music (and I do agree that those decades are the best decades for music) but there was a ton of crap back in the 60s and 70s that was hugely popular just like there is now. Pepplw just remember the good stuff as time goes by as the cream of the crop rises up and those bad songs get forgotten
He didn't like "Woman" by Peter and Gordon? Bernard Webb wrote it.
Ah...But was it the "Real" Bernard Webb?
@@scottandrewbrass1931 You would have thought McCartney would have given his girlfriend’s brother a better song to record Scott. ‘ World Without Love’ could have been a Beatles’ hit single. ‘ Woman’ didn’t even sound good enough for an album track!
Yesterday's Papers do u have any idea how many old farts hearts you warm.
Hahaha!
It's only 1966 and some of these artists like Gerry and the Pacemakers and Peter & Gordon seem like dinosaurs. Embarassing, really. Astonishing to think how quick things were moving.
I don't know if you are the same person but there is a guy on tiktok basically stealing all your videos and uploading them he calls him self televisiondevil. Just thought I'd let you know because I really like your stuff
That's not me. Thanks for letting me know.
My mother is a crosssection of the record buying public ! Lol
when some rewiev from the 70's ?
I love the Peter and Gordon record, I think it is the best of this whole lot...sorry Mick...lol...
Written be McCartney, BTW. 😊
Hey creators of YP, I’m not sure if you offer an email address for fans to reach out, but since I see you are refreshingly active in your own comments sections I’m hoping you see this and might even respond….
I’m curious, will you continue your focus mostly on the British scene, or might you plan to sprinkle in some American stuff as well to widen the perspective?? Don’t get me wrong, the English dominated this period for good reason, and I can’t get enough of what you’re doing. But I notice most of it stays on the London scene from 65-68. Are you aiming for a sequential timeline perhaps?? Like by 2023 maybe your output will advance to the early 70s?? Again, just curious as to what your game plan is in case you’re willing to share.
Oh, and I do have a request. If there’s anything you can give us having to do with Syd Barrett and his departure from Floyd I would be one happy supporter for what it’s worth. The Floyd are a fascinating band with a fascinating story, and it all started with the Peter Pan like Syd. Too many people focus on the darkness of his story, but for a moment in time he was the King of the underground and deserving of the throne. I’m curious to learn more about how the papers and media covered him from 67 onward and how fans reacted to Gilmour in the early days of 68-69.
Thanks and keep up the great work!! I will continue to tell everyone about your cool channel!
Hi, thank you. Most of the focus is on the British music scene from 1965 to 1970. But I've also made videos about american bands and videos about bands or artists from the early 70s. I've also made about 4 or 5 videos about Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. Cheers!
0:54 Oh, come on, Mick!
so before they became the animals, they were the Alan price set
Alan Price formed the Alan Price Set after he left The Animals in late 1965. I think he was already out of the band when they recorded "Inside Looking Out". Not 100% sure, though.
@@YesterdaysPapers thanks for the start point
Alan Price Set came after Price left the Animals, the precursor to The Animals were the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo. This was prior to Eric Burdon joining.
Mick didn't get that shirt in the men's section.
woman was a big hit,naturally,written by the beatles,mick knew this.
2:23 I have sort of a love/hate attitude toward HA&theTB, but I love this one. Anyway, I completely disagree with Mick about the words; if music is going to be imposed on the listener in workplaces, grocery stores, dentist's-offices, etc. it should be the keraoke versions of everything. I hate walking around in Wall Mart and either having to listen to some slob singing about how much he loves me, or realizing that everyone is milling about, not noticing the fact that the words coming over the tinny loudspeakers are about rape or heroin withdrawal. Background music should stay in the background.
Could you do March 1966? That's my birth month.
Mick 🎶 James Brown , James Brown 😎 🎶
Excuse my curiosity but this is all just a bit before my time.
Question: When Gerry named his band "the pacemakers" - what did the word 'pacemaker' mean back then? I mean, in that context he wasn't talking about what it means today, even if it was cutting edge medical technology by 1966, nobody really had a common term for such a device so, are they saying - 'trendsetters'? is that what they are calling themselves?
What newspaper was this Blind Date in? Was it published in competition or inspired by the tv show juke box jury?
Melody Maker was the newspaper. I'm guessing it was indeed inspired by the Juke Box Jury TV show.
The jazz magazine Downbeat's legendary "Blindfold Tests" might have been the original idea for both shows. As far as I know, Downbeat is still doing Blindfold Tests to this day. They started in the 40's.
Downbeat Magazine in the US had the same format for jazz musicians - don’t know when it started but I enjoyed the reviews during the ‘70s.
Gary walker... cool
Undeliverable corney bit soon yes we wrote it might be a hit. Woman by Peter and Gordon, take it off I've heard enough. That went to number one your little ditty well don't know were that went, don't think anyone saw it again 😅😂
Typical Stones thoughts...i visited the Time Is On Our Side website and it's very difficult they enjoyed the music of their contemporanies
|TRES Cool
Mick Jagger has (had) a way with words that could rival George Harrison and John Lennon all day long.
He should've liked the Herb Alpert, imo. 😄☺️☺️🥲😃
Mick can't understand the words of a Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass INSTRUMENTAL single! HA!
Didn't he advise Sonny & Cher to try their luck in England?
These videos are too short
Jagger's singing style sounds a lot like Bo Diddley's.
He was one of the Stones' main influences.
@@YesterdaysPapers You would not have thought so from Mick's comment about Bo Diddley's record.
@@heliotropezzz333 He didn't really say anything negative about it. He said it was a kind of "I'm a Man" part 2 and he was right. The song was just a re-write of that song. He also said it wouldn't be a hit and he was right too. Sadly, Bo Diddley's singles weren't chart hits in 1966 and he was right in guessing that a re-writing of "I'm A Man" wouldn't make it in the charts.
Lol….is it Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnston? Lol. Sing little birdie….
Jagger is a a bit hard to please, isn't he? Especially for a guy who's going to end up a geriatric in The World's Biggest Cover Band, playing songs that his formerly dangerous group wrote 50 years beforehand, having to decide what to do when bandmembers die, not from drug overdoses, but from old age...
Goes to show everyone can be wrong...a few times.
Everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, has songs they like and songs they dislike. If I dislike a song it's not because I'm jealous of the artist making it. "Duh, I'm not jealous of Led Zeppelin so I like their songs, but I am jealous of Kenny G so I don't like his songs. Duh". Why should it be different for the people that make music?
