Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want

Rolling Stones at the Rock & Roll Circus in 1968.

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" is a song by the Rolling Stones released on their 1969 album Let It Bleed. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was named as the 100th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone in its 2004 list of "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."

The song was recorded on November 16 and November 17, 1968. It features the London Bach Choir powerfully opening the song, highlighting throughout, and bringing it to an uproarious conclusion. Jimmy Miller, the Rolling Stones' producer at the time, plays drums on this song instead of Charlie Watts. Al Kooper plays piano, organ and French horn while Rocky Dijon plays congas and maracas. Nanette Workman sings backup vocals, but she is credited as 'Nanette Newman'. (Thanks Wikipedia)
