Song of the Day (21): Memo from Turner – Mick Jagger  

Song of the Day (21) - Memo from Turner by Mick Jagger

Happy birthday, Mick Jagger (July 26, 1943).

I‘ve always loved this song and the way Mick sings it.

Mick and Keith and Keith wrote the song, and Mick did the solo recording for the movie Performance in which he plays an aging rock star. Those are not the Stones playing with him, but a group of LA musicians. Ry Cooder’s slide guitar adds a sinister wallop to the recording. Other musicians on the track include Russ Titelman (guitar), Randy Newman (piano), Jerry Scheff (bass) and Gene Parsons (drums).
