cheers DA  .. i had forgotten that one lol .. caused more of a stir in the UK ... than the jerry lee lewis one did in the states

here's the wiki excerpt .. with a strange twist in the tail as well lol


On 2 June 1989 Wyman married 18-year-old Mandy Smith (bill was 53 lol) ... whom he had been dating since she was 13. Their relationship was the subject of considerable media attention. The marriage ended in spring 1991, although the divorce was not finalised until 1993.[16]

In 1993, while Wyman was still married to Smith, Stephen, his son from his first marriage, became engaged to Smith's mother.[17]      

i wont say a word lol ... but they went out for 5 years ... then divorced after 2 years of marriage

... so imo it's true ... it's marriage that kills romance 


ps bill's work on the some girls album ... especially the 'some girls' song ... is difinitive 
(the bass riffs and the slide low notes on that particular song are ... wow  )

Long before they were the self-proclaimed "world's greatest rock 'n' roll band," The Rolling Stones, then led by handsome blonde blues enthusiast Brian Jones, were mere popularizers of blues-based material originally recorded or written by American musicians such as Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, and Slim Harpo. That's not to say that this debut album isn't worth hearing all these year later, it certainly is because the band already had impressive skills built up from live performances, and these raw, aggressive, energetic renditions are fun to listen to even if the material is a bit generic at times. Unlike their rivals in The Beatles, whose debut album was peppered with several of their own self-written classics, the Stones had yet to find their songwriting niche; the lone band compositions here, all credited to the made up pseudonym Nanker Pheldge, were comprised of an enjoyable yet throwaway instrumental ("Now I've Got A Witness") originally based on a Marvin Gaye song, an enjoyably performed but unremarkable rewrite of Jimmy Reed's "Shame, Shame, Shame" called "Little By Little," and a not half bad pop ballad ("Tell Me (You're Coming Back)") that at least saw the band trying to branch out a bit. Elsewhere, highlights include their jumpy, energetic, supremely Bo Diddley-sized take on Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," a lewd, lascivious romp through Willie Dixon's (via Muddy Waters) "I Just Want To Make Love To You," and "I am A King Bee," formerly owned by Slim Harpo but notable here as well due to Jones' slide guitar. On the slower front were "Honest I Do" and "You Can Make It If You Try," while a pair of frenetic Chuck Berry covers ("Route 66," "Carol") at least paid tribute to a primary influence even if they don't do a whole lot for me. Then again, they're better than truly pointless covers such as Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get A Witness" and Rufus Thomas' "Walking The Dog," and really there's little here to justify manager Andrew Loog Oldham's claim at the time that The Rolling Stones were more than just a band, they were "a way of life." Really, Oldham's savvy marketing of the Stones as the grimy anti-Beatles had as much to do with the band's success at this point as their music, which, while enjoyable, was no better than other similarly styled bands of that era such as The Animals and Them. Certainly Eric Burdon and Van Morrison were vastly superior blues belters at this point than was singer Mick Jagger, whose thin, at times tentative vocals had some growing up to do. Still, the band's loose, dirty sound was appealing right from the start, but it wasn't until Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards started writing their own songs that they really started to become a great band. Had that not happened, The Rolling Stones would be a mere footnote today, and rather than playing sold out stadiums they likely would've been playing your local corner pub along with Alexis Korner and John Mayall. Note: Let's not sugar coat this: The Rolling Stones' early discography, due to the detestable Allen Klein and Abko Records, is an utter mess, with different versions for U.S. and U.K. releases. Basically, the U.S. versions included previously released hit singles, the U.K. albums didn't, the thinking being that it was a ripoff to give fans the same songs that they presumably already owned; remember this was a different era when the single was king. For this release, the U.S. version of the album, which removed their version of Bo Diddley's "I Need You Baby (Mona)" for "Not Fade Away," bears the dated title of England's Newest Hitmakers, while the U.K. version of the album is simply and more properly titled The Rolling Stones.

Doo doo doo

This tells two stories, a young man shot by police in a case of mistaken identity, and a 10-year girl who dies in an alley of a drug overdose. Neither is based on a true story, but is a commentary on urban America.
The horns were arranged by trumpet player Jim Price, who along with Bobby Keys on sax, provided the brass on records and tours for The Stones in the early '70s. This was the last time Price recorded with The Stones. He went on to produce other artists, including Joe Cocker.
Keith Richards played bass and shared lead guitar duties with Mick Taylor.
Billy Preston played the piano.
The Stones played this on their 1973 European tour, even though it describes events in America.
Chuck Findley played trumpet on this. Other artists he worked for include George Harrison, Quincy Jones, Diana Ross, The Carpenters, Julio Iglesias, Rod Stewart, Robert Palmer and Madonna. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
