EspañolJAGGER/RICHARDS
'Jagger/Richards' is a songwriting team that consists of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. They have written together for more than 40 years. The partnership between the two is often considered second only to John Lennon and Paul McCartney (Lennon/McCartney) of The Beatles.
Jagger and Richards' first song written as a team was "As Tears Go By". Keith Richards about the beginning of this partnership:
Despite claims to the contrary, the first original Jagger/Richards song to be ''released'' as a single by the Stones was "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)" from the album ''England's Newest Hitmakers''. It peaked at number 24 on the US charts. The earlier "Good Times, Bad Times" was released as the b-side to their cover of Bobby and Shirley Womack's "It's All Over Now".
Notable is the fact that though most of the "Jagger/Richards" compositions were written while co-operating, some of the songs credited to the famous partnership are originally basically solo songwriting from either Jagger (say "Brown Sugar") or Richards ("Happy"), equally comparable with the Lennon/McCartney partnership, in which the case was the same.
Jagger and Richards have shared credits with very few others. Among them are:
★ Andrew Loog Oldham: "As Tears Go By"
★ Marianne Faithfull: "Sister Morphine"
★ Former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor: "Ventilator Blues"
★ Stones guitarist Ron Wood: "Dance (Pt. 1)", "If I Was A Dancer (Dance Pt. 2)", "Everything Is Turning to Gold", "Black Limousine", "No Use in Crying", "Pretty Beat Up", "One Hit (to the Body)", "Fight", "Dirty Work", "Had It With You". He is credited as "Inspiration by Ron Wood" on "Hey Negrita"
★ Billy Preston is credited as "Inspiration by Billy Preston" on "Melody"
★ Keyboardist Chuck Leavell: "Back to Zero"
★ Musician Steve Jordan: "Almost Hear You Sigh"
★ k.d. lang and Ben Mink: "Anybody Seen My Baby?"
★
★ ''Lang and Mink did not co-write; they were credited retrospectively before release when Richards' daughter informed him that there was a strong similarity between "Constant Craving", a hit from the 1992 Ingénue album.''
★ Musician Pierre de Beauport: "Thief in the Night"
It is known Taylor left the band for the lack of credits he received while working with the band. Of note are the songs "Winter", from the 1973 album ''Goats Head Soup'', and both "Sway" and "Moonlight Mile", from 1971's ''Sticky Fingers'', both of which are thought to be Jagger/Taylor compositions.
The Verve's 1997 hit single “Bitter Sweet Symphony” uses a small five-note sample from an orchestral version of The Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time.” After the song became a hit, The Verve was sued by Allen Klein, who owns the copyrights to The Rolling Stones' pre-1970 songs. Klein claimed The Verve broke their licence agreement when they used a larger portion than was covered in the license. The band handed over 100 percent of their songwriting royalties. They were then sued by Oldham, who claimed to possess the copyright on the sampled sound recording.[1] “Bittersweet Symphony” was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Song category, which honours songwriters. Because the unfavourable settlement transferred the Verve’s copyright and songwriting credit to Klein and The Rolling Stones, the Grammy nomination went to “Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.”[2]
