Mick Jagger (vocalist, Rolling Stones) : Keith was playing 12-string and singing harmonies (on Tell Me) into the same microphone as the 12-string. We recorded it in this tiny studio in the West End of London called Regent Sound, which was a demo studio. I think the whole of that album was recorded in there. But it's very different from doing those R'n'B covers or Marvin Gaye covers and all that. There's a definite feel about it. It's a very pop song, as opposed to all the blues covers and the Motown covers, which everyone did at the time.
Bill Wyman (bassist, Rolling Stones) : Andrew (manager Andrew Oldham) was always pushing us to get us to do Motown things like Can I Get a Witness? And he was right as well; he was more right than we were. And, of course, when Mick and Keith got into writing, the songs came out more like he was looking for. Keith was always more into soul music than me or Charlie, and Mick loved soul performers like Wilson Pickett and James Brown.
