A great discovery just now, prompted by The Ducks Deluxe (great British bar band from the ’70s) version of this song, which I always thought was a Stones original.
Written by Robert Dwayne Womack in 1963. For the story of how it got to the Stones, see: wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_All_Over_Now

That’s (rightfully proud) Mom on bass…
Listening to this, all these years later. Pure gold, a “sweet spot in time.”
Apparently Leon Russell put together the band (and chorus) for the tour in a week.
Followed by George’s “Something in the Way She Moves.” Gave me chills.
Here are archives of Bringing it On Home, a bi-weekly program on our local world-class radio station, KWMR, which I listen to 3-4 times a week while doing dishes or fiddling around after dinner. This is the July 31, 2021 program, Stones, followed by Lou Reed, Aretha, Al Green, Marvin Gaye…
On Thursdays is Back to Bakersfield, Saturday is Celtic music, there’s Shorty’s Roadhouse… There’s no radio station in the world I like better.
