Jagger and Richards are the kind of individuals whose work you want to dislike, each has such gaping character flaws. You could even make a case for them being responsible for the worst of FM Rock as well. Nonetheless, there's stuff of theirs I do really enjoy.<br /><br />23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-43861435696730562182014-09-27T00:08:52.640+01:002014-09-27T00:08:52.640+01:00"Wild Honey Pie" was actually issued as ..."Wild Honey Pie" was actually issued as a Beatles B-side in both the USA and Venezuela (fact courtesy of the 45cat website).<br /><br />I've hated The Rolling Stones since I found out about their sound embargo on the DVD version of the prequel to "Just Good Friends" (they refused to allow copyright permission for the first 12 minutes, most of which included Stones music played at the party of a supposed roadie of the band, so the first 12 minutes of the DVD episode are silent), but you reeled me in - I'd never heard "Backstreet Girl" before and loved it. Nicky Scott's version is probably half as fast again as the original, but I prefer his vocals to Jagger's awkward and over-emphasised attempt.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784330306408735232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-40988190517591424832014-09-22T13:50:51.495+01:002014-09-22T13:50:51.495+01:00I'd completely forgotten all about that versio...I'd completely forgotten all about that version! I don't think I ever did try to check it out on YouTube either, though I can imagine Barbra handling it more strongly - a bit more akin to the style of "Second Hand Rose", maybe.23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-42366828964769031372014-09-22T13:04:15.553+01:002014-09-22T13:04:15.553+01:00I think this single version of "Honey Pie&quo...I think this single version of "Honey Pie" by Barbra Streisand was trying to be a double a-side event (which was a total non-event): http://barbra-archives.com/record/singles/tin_soldier.htmlVanceManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644001020525327405noreply@blogger.com
