Short story:

The Rolling Stones reach No1 in Billboard's Top 40 singles chart in the USA with Miss You.

Full article:

Keith Richards : That song (Miss You) was basically Mick's. He was very much into Studio 54 at the time -- in fact, I'm sure he wrote it on the floor of Studio 54.

Mick Jagger : Keith got busted, so we couldn't do what we were supposed to do. We had a lot of downtime and musicians hanging around. I had written this riff (which became the song Miss You), and one night I was playing guitar and Billy Preston was playing drums. He started playing that four-on-the-floor beat, and that's when it took off.
