Whether you enjoy and appreciate Richard's vocals is personal business. The fact remains is that he sings in perfect key. Like his voice or not, the man has got the soul and at the end of the day if you got the soul...you got the goods.

These songs he recorded in Toronto break my heart. Knowing what he was facing--25 years in prison, separation from his wife & kids, loss of freedom, loss of music, loss of his band (there's no Stones without Keith), makes all these songs so much more poignant. And they are poignant enough to make me weep already. I hope they play this at my funeral.

Keith never needed to peddle heroin in Toronto. Hell could you imagine Keith wanting to sell heroin at the corner of Bloor and Young asking in his gravely voice, " Hey man, want some smack? I need the money." the only reason he was charged with possession of trafficking was because of the amount they found and it was for both himself and Anita who were both addicts. Keith was no criminal but he was a heroin addict
