Short story:
The Rolling Stones release a new single, Miss You, on Rolling Stones Records in the USA.
Full article:
Bill Wyman (bassist, Rolling Stones) : None of us got them (writing credits), Brian, Mick Taylor. If you came up with a riff that turned an ordinary song into something special it was never acknowledged. ... The riff on Miss You was mine. And the one for Jumping Jack Flash. There was one interview where Keith acknowledged that ‘that was Bill’s song’. Then about ten years later he denied he’d said it.
Mick Jagger : Billy (Preston) had shown me the four-on-the-floor bass-drum part, and I would just play the guitar. I remember playing that in the El Mocambo club when Keith was on trial in Toronto for whatever he was doing. We were supposed to be there making this live record.
Mick Jagger : I wanted to make more of a rock album. I just had one song that had a dance groove: Miss You. But I didn't want to make a disco album. I wrote all these songs – like Respectable, Lies, When the Whip Comes Down.
Keith Richards (guitarist, Rolling Stones) : The disco thing, I don't know, that was just what was going on in clubs and you sort of picked up a beat. And we just decided to do a disco song ['Miss You']. At the time it wasn't necessarily disco music to us, it was just another rhythm and blues beat. No doubt hanging around in bars and clubs a lot had something to do with it.
