Rolling Stones. Just wanna see his face

[@stefanredin854]

"Just wanna see his face" is one of my favorite "Stones" songs, it has such a swang! 👍👊

[@erlendkimmich9448]

yep

[@FlipSideCT]

Hi CoCo! Hoping you can shed some important light for me on this topic. I make STONES docs, and working on one now for Stones EXILE, and including Bobby's story (and promoting your channel!!), and want to get the record straight for fans. But trying to identify the exact timeline when Bobby went into OLYMPIC studio from Ascot to see Jimmy Miller (per Bobby Keys phone call, after he was at NELLCOTE) and played this tune. Was this Oct or Nov Fall of 71'......This is huge for me to get this fact, but understand if it is a cloudy recollection. I am not sure if the STONES were in the studio at this time. I know Bobby was in the studio with Dr. John and Jagger in Nov 70'. thank you for all!!!

[@BW-CC]

Bobby thinks it may have been October... because he wasn't dressed in winter clothing at the time. They were just setting up at Nelllcote.

[@MikeDiCiero]

there will be a judgment day- Bobby you're a king among men !!

[@sheanroche2548]

I always come back to hear stories about Bobby. It doesn't get much more Rock n Roll than Bobby Keys. If it wasn't for Bobby, the Stones wouldn't have half of their best songs. Heavy.

[@MichaelSmith-rq7hd]

Love these interviews Bobby is a true talent Never really got the recognition He deserved. Everybody knew how talented he was. I think it says a lot about him how he shares these stories without any malaise or bitterness A true pro till the end. Love you Bobby and all the great music you've given us! ♡♡

[@johndrowe5281]

It’s a shame that Bobby never got to meet any of these people ha ha ha! What a historian! He should put this in a book “my life with all the people you thought you knew…“ He is a quintessential raconteur. He is also tangential, as am I, and CoCo does a great job of reigning him back in - thank you, again.😉😉😉😎😎😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌🏻💜🎸👨🏼‍⚕️🎸‼️🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶

Thank you, it is interesting, never a dull moment with Bobby. When we got together, it was like grabbing a rope and hanging on for dear life.

[@andrewmair7371]

That’s QUITE a story 🤗 Criminally - & very discourteously - unacknowledged! ☝️😆 & a beautiful, soulful & very distinctive elec piano part on JWSHF… very happy to hear that so righteously & humorously called to account … Thanx BW - 🍻

[@pardyhardly]

Never knew that was Bobby Whitlock was on that album until a couple of days ago. Exile is the best album to listen to on a humid summer night when it's still 80 degrees at midnight. Big red moon, fireflies, funny smells in the air...

[@rtdc5662]

I can't believe that's you playing on just want to see his face, I've always loved that song. So cool!

[@michaelward9880]

Yeah, I really like that song too. Had no idea that was Bobby Whitlock on piano and it was his tune. Exile is the last Stones album that I care about. Every track is worth listening to. After Exile everything else sucked, in my opinion.

[@pictonpig2446]

"I wonder what she has in her pants nowadays..." Bwahahahaaaa!!! Classic...

[@tulelazule7231]

Been watching a few: Bobby has the best laugh in the world!

[@BW-CC]

He does

[@anthony1158]

Love having these two in my house. Always watch after dinner.

[@dapc777]

~well you did a great job and I appreciate you and that song~to me it is very deep~and I love that album~as I started to listen to it when I was in the Navy back in 1973~

[@BW-CC]

Where were you in 73 in the Navy?

[@toddvanfleet8576]

Wow..countless times listening to 'Exile "... "Just Wanna See His Face" would kill me too damn short! I hit the Tom's to it, hi hat , all. that. Gets my groove on before a session. And that riff was the great Bobby Whitlock. Damn. Fantastic. Hope you got paid! Thanks and love your channel.🎭

[@lefty5757]

Great Story Bobby, your a good interviewer CoCo, thank you, I just love these stories ❤️

[@josephbaca6372]

It may be my all time favorite Stones song aside from Can't You Hear Me Knocking. You are a master Bobby.

[@leiferickson9666]

What a great true story of your past. A true story....🍁

[@andy65guitar]

I salute you sir! I LOVE that song and the piano IS THE SONG! Thank you sir.

[@tomlehr861]

Bobbys memory is excellent

[@larryn2682]

Anita Pallenberg died June 13, 2017.

[@cosmicdrifter287]

Still no royalties even after the reissue of Exile then?Whoa that's a crying shame after coming up with such a terrific electric piano pattern in the first place.Another great story!

[@jaykay6387]

It's not exactly a secret that Mick and Keith weren't the most "generous" people at giving credit where credit was due. They seemed to take a perverse pleasure "nicking" stuff from other artists and then laughing about it like pirates. Mick Taylor could probably relate a few stories about that. Henley was another raging egomaniac who loved to take credit for others work. The way he talks about Hotel California you would think all Felder came up with was a little "riff". Without "Hotel", the Eagles are just another good 70's band. It's amazing how shameless some of these musicians are, you kind of expect that from the "suits" but when the artists F each other over that's when it gets more hurtful.

[@janechapman6448]

I love you Bobby.. You're so real! Many more happy years for you and Coco ahead.

[@kevinkrater8486]

Like Bobby's laugh.

[@johndrowe5281]

Kevin Krater And you have to love a man like Mr Whitlock who uses that infectious laugh to laugh at himself sometimes!

[@mickknight6963]

Amen! Love that song, that is you!! 🎹 Well since then I really can't wait to see His face! I, we, appreciate and love yall so much...it's like hanging with family telling stories. And BTW, this is one Southern Baptist Evangelist/Preacher saying I love ya, brother. These are great sessions about folks and events and music we all grew up with and it's good. But, I gave my life to the Lord on the street in New Orleans in '84 and man, after 12 years of heavy drink and drugs a whole lotta love and peace has come inside that I never knew existed. Just wanted to encourage yall, thanks for all your work and sharing your mistakes as well as your victories. 🎶 Later guys....✌😎

[@patlampo9288]

Such great info. Hope you all are well✨Have a great weekend🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@flyingphobiahelp]

Love the memories esp the Nellcote stories. BTW did my treadmill routine tonight with Bobby’s keyboards on “Why does love got to be so sad” (Fillmore Live version) keeping the beat!

[@bryantcarson1293]

When I first heard that song, I thought it sounded a little like something off of D&B’s motel shot. Now I know why. You are a great musician Bobby! Love hearing the stories that my grandparents tell about you playing for the school programs at MCHS.

[@TonyWud]

Sad to say, Anita Pallenberg passed in 2017. Hep C as I recall. Thanks for setting it straight about 'Wanna see his face". And Gram Parsons didn't co-write 'Wild Horses'

[@wongnaichungrd]

Yeah and Gram must have had input into a number of songs on Exile. Interesting I watched a doco on Amazon Prime regarding the making of Exile and they didn't once mention Gram. Some of the photographs featured in the doco had Gram edited out of them! And the documentary went for well over an hour and a half.

[@TonyWud]

@@wongnaichungrd A damn shame. Gram was in the Stones and The Byrds and neither band will admit his influence.

[@dbob3405]

I listened to a seminar with Bobby Keys, Don Was and Graham’s daughter about Exile at the AmericanaFest a number years ago. Both Keys and Was (who remastered Exile and listened to all the existing tape) claimed that Parsons was not on any of the sessions. It seemed to really bother Graham’s daughter. Was it true, I wasn’t there but it was one of the most fascinating seminars I have ever attended

[@dbob3405]

After listening to this story it puts the Parsons story I heard at AmericanaFest in a totally new light

[@wongnaichungrd]

@@dbob3405 I’m a huge GP fan and but still have to be convinced Gram either wrote Wild Horses or contributed substantially to Exile. On the other hand as Bobby’s story demonstrates Stones Inc has a track record of appropriating ideas for other sources without proper credit. It’s like they expected the stardust from hanging out with Mick and Keef was adequate compensation!

[@williewimmer5102]

Kind of brings to mind "Time Waits for No One" written by Mick Taylor yet not given any writing credit. It's attributed to Jagger/Richards as I recall...

[@judyjudy51]

Really?!? my favourite stones song, esp his guitar.

[@williewimmer5102]

@@judyjudy51 Mick Taylor's guitar is haunting. He's fabulous...

[@johngore7744]

I’ve been a Stones fan since 1967. They never credited all the people who contributed. Neither did Lennon and McCartney George always said that.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

I love "Thorn Tree in the Garden", perfect end to a wild album.

[@J.A.Hansen]

PS》Thats A Really Awesome Story🔝Just wanna..has always been one of my secret favorites on Exile.

[@5150show]

Awesome thank you 🙏

[@BW-CC]

Any time!

[@patlampo9288]

I'm gonna get a Sharpie pen and write your name for piano credit on that song on my boxed set copy of Exile. I think it will look cool on it🎵😃🎵

[@iheartcicada]

it’s only rock n roll man

[@tommathews3964]

The thing is, deep down, they know!! Crying shame! Give credit where credit is due! My Dad was an Episcopal minister, Bobby, and he had a 3 word saying that's so simple, but so profound. "Right is right" I can hear it now! Sometimes I didn't want to hear it, but I did!

[@potterwalker4823]

Yeah, the stones steal from each other. Bill Wyman had plenty to say about that. Good call on that one, Coco. You are a good interviewer. See you on 60 minutes, ha ha.

[@bogeyman38111]

When Delaney and Bonnie sang on the Dick Cavett show, what is the story about the guy that played the attache case?

[@igrowhigher]

As Bobby notes, The Stones "steal from their own" (Mick Taylor, Ron Wood, Billy Preston), so it's no surprise that they'd steal from a passing outsider. At the very VERY least, they should have credited him with playing ON the record. Shame on them!

[@BeggarsForSomeSoul]

That groove was the highlight of that record. They haven't written a good song in 40 years! They have super fans in Brazil and I keep informing people of ripoffs like this being a songwriter myself with a British Connection. No-one realizes it's like taking your soul, or stealing your child when someone steals your creation and then doesn't even credit you. But know this...The people with a brain who know music history and the real organic process realize who you are and use your intensity as a measuring stick for the standard of excellence in singing, playing, songwriting, and grooves. Even Clapton went downhill after being with you.

[@BW-CC]

That's very nice, thank you so much John

[@BeggarsForSomeSoul]

@@BW-CC I'd rather jam with Bobby than Clapton 'Anyday'LOL. Way more soul, man! You guys stay safe and please check out my KZbin Channel (John Francis Mariano) and my songwriting with Billy Henry from Manchester England. I look forward to your Documentary and you're a lucky man to have such a dedicated and talented wife. Thanks for the Inspiration.

[@potterwalker4823]

Greedy fucking pricks! Forget being nice about stuff -it’s real life when somebody is stealing your money via your creativity.

[@26stereo]

'just want to see his face' is one of the best on that record... and that says a lot... a real deep cut... hey Bobby could it just be that the version you played on was just a demo for them to lay down the song and then they rerecorded it? just asking... anyway you should have gotten credits...

[@BW-CC]

No...No

[@azguitar]

I’d say the Stones owe you a mint, 1962 Corvette for not giving you songwriting credit on that song.

[@BW-CC]

Yes yes yes

[@wongnaichungrd]

No surprise really! Didn't Ry Cooder have similar stories about the Stones appropriating ideas? And you really have to wonder about Gram and Wild Horses!

[@buddylobos5277]

As a fan of Ry & Gram, I have to say, all things considered, without Jagger's lyrics they'd be cool but, largely forgotten instrumental tracks. He's got a ligit claim here though.

[@wongnaichungrd]

@@buddylobos5277 I see it completely differently: the groove is everything in I Just Want to see his Face. The vocal is pretty light on quasi preacher invocation!

[@benmeltzer]

Cooder says they serruptitiously recorded him (when he was waiting to play on a session with them), and copped the riff to Honky Tonk Women from him in the process. Same sort of deal in the sense that he didn't realize they were recording him.

[@wongnaichungrd]

@@benmeltzer Yeah I’ve heard that before no surprise really it seems the stones Inc attitude is the stardust you get hanging out with them is payment for them appropriating all the musical ideas!

[@1rwjwith]

Thats song was Jagger-Whitlock....

[@steveschutter]

OK, I am just catching up to this now. Couple of weeks ago I asked what is your beef with the Stones and you both so nicely said "we are vegans". Yeah, now I get it. Why be cheap with you when what do they have to lose? That is some straight up petty BS on their end.

[@juergensguitarlounge]

[@ronnie5129]

WOW, What a story, I Believe that you got ripped off Bobby, The Music Businnes is Brutal, Cousin Figel

[@twezzo99]

I love the Stones´music. But I can´t stand lies, and I hate people not being acknowledged. Bobby, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor were robbed by Jagger and Richards.

[@markchacon7002]

Don't forget Ry Closer & Nicky Hopkins 🎙️🎸🎹🎹🎹🎧

[@markbois1713]

It's horrible not to give credit where credit is due. The Song Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve had a little snippet of sampled Stones on it and Mick and Keith took all the royalties from it and the song writing credit. The song was a hit how much money do those two need they don't have enough already?

[@BW-CC]

It's rather sad... pathetic.

[@rtdc5662]

[@dannyoneil5058]

Trying to catch up,must be new thanks.

[@richardroadman2239]

In Keith's book he says he didn't know why Mick Taylor quit. Horse Shyte! One reason is because of jagger/richards greed. Taylor created some of the most beautiful guitar lines and didn't get any credit. Damn shame. They pissed off Dr. John too, from what I've read.

[@BW-CC]

No one gets credit for a guitar line in a song.. that's not how it works. It does take a great amount of effort to write a song. ..a succesful one. Mick had written songs that were taken. Won one suit which gave him royalties. It's sad, no one goes up against those two because of what it would take monitarily, you'd never win. CoCo

[@sardonicus76]

Keith hardly ever had anything positive to say about Mick Taylor, whether he was in or out of the band. I suspect he was/is more than a little jealous of Mick’s abilities. Keith is a decent guitarist and he can play a mean lick or two but Mick Taylor was light years ahead of him in those days and I just don’t think he could deal with that. As for why Mick quit the band, I always heard that it had something to do with not getting his rightful due for composing “Moonlight Mile”. Jagger was notorious for taking credit for the contributions of others. He’s not the only person to do that but he was certainly one of the more egregious and unapologetic in that regard.

[@JamZorro]

Sometimes, people just suck

[@apollos_revival]

Recording at Olympic (England) after Nellcote? That doesn't seem like the correct timeline. Are you sure it wasn't before they became tax exiles and left for France?

[@BW-CC]

It's correct

[@apollos_revival]

@@BW-CC Thanks for responding. I know they were in LA late 71/early 72. I just don’t remember any recording in Olympic unless it was sometime between Nellcote and LA, which would have been a very short window

[@cliffdykes1171]

yeah i can’t imagine the stones coming up with a spirit filled sound on their own

[@leechild4655]

You had the honor of being ripped off for your ideas, just like so many blues legends whose influences were used on not given credit for. That's some cool company to be in if you ask me. lol hope yall are getting back to halfway normal. all the best.

Having not received a co writing credit for the song you initiated Mr Whitlock , to me is the lowest of the low ...disgraceful attitude by the Rolling Stones and their management . How many other journeymen and women musicians over the decades have had similar experiences because the artist's were a powerful entity and called the shots ? Im so sorry for such a horrible story . Stay well and all the best from Scotland to you and Ms Carmel .
