What a gorgeous solo from Sonny Rollins. I love the story behind this. Jagger wanted to ask Rollins, probably the top jazz sax man of the time, to put a solo on the song. Charlie Watts - a serious jazz fan - said 'he'll never do it'. But Jagger asked, and Rollins indeed said no. But Rollins' wife persuaded him. When the saxman came into the studio, Jagger was nervous about working with a jazz great, and asked Rollins how he wanted to go about it. Rollins said, you stay in the studio with me, you dance and I'll take my cue for what to play from your moves. Some kind of genius there! If only someone had video'd it. Years later, Rollins heard something on the radio, liked the sax playing, and wondered who it was. Eventually he discovered it was him, on one of those Rolling Stones songs!

So much heart and soul in this song. I remember when it came out I was already into newer music. But this song just pierced me straightaway. The depth of their personal history, the sax breaks, New York in 1980. Genuinely relaxed in their skin, loving each other. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, when your friend knows how to lift you up and make you smile. Sometimes, that’s all that really matters.

[@jillwanlin9558]

This album came out when I was 18 in 1981. Played the hell out it. This song is definitely my favourite! It’s so great to read everyone’s comments and it’s amazing how we don’t know each other but can feel connected in such a positive way. Life can be tough. Then randomly hear this song and all the bad stuff fades away and it’s like…yeh, life is good 🎶

There's a few exceptions like Happy, Thru & Thru and he contributes to some of the lyrics but Mick is the one that wrote this as far as I know. I don't think Mick gets enough credit for his writing. He's easily one of the best lyricists in rock n' roll history. From 64-82, he kept a ridiculously high standard of writing songs. Arguably the longest time period of quality music from any band ever.

The Stones were never better. The beautiful sax (Sonny Rollins) that weaves its way through this "ode to joy" is pure magic.

[@carlmarks8170]

Sonny Rollins, legendary jazz saxophonist... One of the all-time greats. The Stones had initially recorded the backing music with Mick Taylor on guitar back in 1972 when they made "Goats Head Soup". But it never made it onto that album and it was left unfinished without the sax or any of the words. The recording was revived 7 years later while the Stones were making "Tattoo You". They needed a sax player for this and two other songs and so Mick gave Sonny a call. (I love his confidence. "Yeah, we'll just hire a living legend to play on our album..." Haha!!) Sonny Rollins was going to turn down the gig because had a typical snobby jazz elitist attitude towards rock and wasn't much of a Stones fan. From the little he'd heard of their music, he thought they were "highly-derivative" of American blues. But his manager/wife wouldn't hear of it. She told him, "No, you MUST do it.." They had some problems nailing the part. They weren't on the same page. Eventually Sonny told Mick, "Look, you just stand right here next to me, tell me exactly where you want me to play and DANCE the part out"... Which Mick did!! Thank God it all worked out in the end.. It took a while, but is pure magic... One of their best.

What a great sound Sonny produced with one note that sounds like a sound wave itself. That's what these guys get paid for and they know it. May the Cosmos spin your way for all.

One of those bridge songs between the '70s and the '80s. It had mainly a '70s feel to it but hinting of the '80s and what was to come. The true "80s" sound though ended early, in '87. After that it was pretty much all downhill, with few exceptions.

I remember watching this video for the very first time, back in 1981 on MTV! I was at my older sister's apartment . She had just got cable and MTV wasn’t even a year old yet! This video was one of the first music videos in heavy rotation and this song was all over the radio! I remember hearing Sonny Rollin’s smooth tenor saxophone, it was everything! It completely “blew” me away!! Along with Mick Jagger's hypnotic vocals and acoustic guitar cords!! 🎸 Keith Richards , Bill Wyman and Ronnie Woods's melodic guitar riffs along with the late Great Charlie Watts on drums!! Of course Nicky Hopkins was awesome on piano!! And rounding out the assemble of Amazing musicians on this classic track, was Michael Carabello on congas!! Great Song and Great Times! The Stones definitely “slew” this mellow rock opus!! 40 years later, this song has aged like a vintage cognac! Rock On, Stones!! 🤘

The opening guitar lead is amazing. Sets the grammatical structure for the entire beat via the blues "call and answer" symbiosis. The bass follows, like a pack mule smoothly staying in time with the riders in front. The sax... it's like a siren, the sea faring kind, beckoning the listener to look for the shore, through the fog. Mick's lyrics is the lighthouse, beaming rays of hope and belonging, telling you that even if you have to wait, at least you can wait on a friend. Keep going, it's worth it. (Exits humming the yeah yeah outro.)

This was the very first music video I ever saw - the summer of 1981 just before MTV started, between my freshman and sophomore high school year - it was played by a news program. It was an absolute bombshell to my soul, to see this music video, before I really even understood the concept. It was like "what in the world is this!? a video made for the song? Are they acting the lyrics? Is this a mini movie?" Everyone was like me, confused, amazed, and completely transfixed. Every time I hear this song or see this video, I'm reminded of this OG of the revolution of music video, which was a huge part of my high school life.
