Well the next single released in the US, in September of 1964,
now goes to number six.
So a number six single for The Rolling Stones in the fall of 64.
Remember, that that's the same song that they're going to come back again for
a tour of the United States.
They're going to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show,
they play Time Is On My Side on Ed Sullivan.
That performance, if I'm not if I'm not mistaken and
also performed on The Tammy Show.
So by the end of '64 things are really starting to pick up and starting to
lead toward the massive success that they're going to see in this country,
In well the United States that is in 1965.
So Time Is On My Side is that single,
The B-side congratulations, another Jagger-Richards piece.
So, when you think about the singles that we've talked about so far,
let's think about that idea of how the publishing is going to work out.
It's All Over Now is released.
That's a cover version of the Bobby and Shirley Womack tune.
But the B-side, has got Good Times, Bad Times, that's a Jagger/Richard tune, so
we're getting publishing on that B-side.
Then in the US, they release Tell Me.
Well, that's a Jagger-Richards song, so we're getting publishing on that.
The B-side is a Muddy Waters tune, I Just want to Make Love To You.
The next one is their cover of Time Is On My Side.
That's a cover version, but congratulations a Jagger-Richards song
is on the B sides of it getting publishing on that.
So this is I think we're starting to see a pattern of trying to
make sure they capitalize on the records that they're promoting,
the records that they're supporting with their live performances trying to
make as much as they can of revenue.
Remembering that in these days every band,
was afraid that this gravy train could end any minute.
The pop audience is fickle, You were the flavor of the month,
maybe only the flavor of the week.
You gotta make hay while the sun shines,
make as much money as you can in this business.
The Beatles, The Stones, all those groups were basically saying maybe we'll be
big for another year or two or something like that.
Nobody had any idea.
That we'd be offering courses on these these groups some 50 years later and
you know and they would still be selling records and
there would still be lots of money involved in their enterprises.
They all kind of figured they'd have a couple a couple of years maybe
in the limelight and then it would be over.
So while you're doing it you try to make as much as you possibly can.
That's kind of what, what's happening behind this strategy.
So let's talk a little bit about Time Is On My Side.
This is an interesting one because it was recorded twice.
So there are actually two versions of the tune.
One that was recorded at Regent Sound in June of '64 and another that was
recorded at Chess Studios on that second American tour in November of 1964.
The Oregon version is the London version, and
that's the one that was released as a single.
The one that has the guitar intro, if you hear the guitar intro at the beginning,
that's the Chicago version.
That's the Chess version.
So Time Is On My Side had been writ, a song written by a guy
by the name of Jerry Ragovoy under the pen name Norman Meade.
There's also a guy by the name,
a guy by the name of Jimmy Norman who gets songwriting credit for that.
The Stones seem to have based their version on a version by
Irma Thomas from 1963.
It was the B side, to her song.
The A side of it was Baby Don't Come on with Me and
So Time is on My Side was on the B side.
Again this, this,
this is a record that I think Andrew Loog Oldham was, it was shopped to him.
You know, and so this is one reason why a B side from Irma Thomas not
a particularly well known American pop singer how A B side from a singer like
that ends up on a Rolling Stone ends up being a Rolling Stone single.
It's because the song was shopped to the songs because people knew they were
looking for material, they weren't really known for authors of their own material.
Most popular musicians at that time weren't that's one of
the thing that Leonard and Dillon changed so much about rock music.
At this time most pop acts were looking for
songs and there were people who made it there job to shop those songs to artists.
We'll say a little bit more about congratulations in the song closeup
at the end of this week, so i'll save my, i'll
save my discussion of the Jagger-Richards B-side for that discussion.
Following at the end of the year in the UK, the Rolling Stones released the song
Little Red Rooster, and that goes to number one in the UK in November of 1964.
So they've had a real run of hits in the UK in 64.
64 has been a very good year for The Rolling Stones in the UK and things
are looking an awful lot better for them in the US by the end of the year, as well.
Little Red Rooster is not released in the U.S., and
its, I think it tells us a certain amount,
